Ouidad Deep Treatment is a vital step in restoring and maintaining hair's health and beauty, Ouidad Deep Treatment contains essential amino acids, a mix of proteins, and effective moisturizers. Its ability to penetrate and renew hair is superior. For maximum results, use as follows:

First, to clarify your hair for treatment, shampoo with Ouidad Clear Shampoo or Curl Quencher Shampoo. Clear Shampoo is a gentle, effective cleanser that contains no oils or waxes to coat the hair. Important: Be sure not to use a shampoo/conditioner-type shampoo before applying your Deep Treatment. These shampoos leave a coating on the hair that will impede the treatment process. The Curl Quencher Shampoo contains extra moisturizers for dry, parched, even unruly curls.

Second, towel dry and comb hair with a wide-tooth comb. Separate hair into 3 to 5 sections (depending on length and thickness) from top to bottom. Completely saturate each section with Deep Treatment by combing the treatment through the hair with your fingers. You will need approximately 2 ounces of Deep Treatment to cover shoulder-length hair, more for very long or thick hair.

Third, pop on a plastic shower cap and apply heat with a hood-style dryer, or use a hair bonnet that attaches to your blow-dryer, for 20 minutes on low heat. For longer or thicker hair, add another 10 minutes to ensure thorough heating. Other methods you can use to heat the hair include: wrapping warmed towels around the head; sleeping with the plastic hair cap on overnight; sitting out in the sun. If not using a constant source of low heat such as a hood dryer, please allow for additional conditioning time, up to 2 hours, to ensure thorough heating. Note: Heating the hair is an important step. Heat will allow the cuticle of hair to relax and allow the penetration of the essential nutrients, increasing hair's molecular weight.

After heating, allow hair to cool for five minutes; then to promote easy detangling, work Ouidad Balancing Rinse or Curl Quencher Conditioner through still-saturated hair. Rinse both out completely, using cool water to help seal the cuticle, but allow a little coating to remain. Don't shampoo the next day-the treatment is more effective when it's allowed to penetrate for 48 hours. It is recommended that you repeat the treatment every two weeks for the first three months. At the point that you do not notice an improvement in your hair after a treatment, you'll know that your hair is maintaining its optimum condition. Switch to monthly treatments.

Ouidad Deep Treatment can be effective as a leave-in treatment between your regular deep-heating applications for extra protection and frizz control on humid days. After shampooing and gently towel blotting the hair, apply a small amount of Deep Treatment to fingers and scrunch through the hair. Style as usual.

Using the pads of your fingers, wash the scalp, not the hair. Avoid bunching hair on top of your head during shampooing; the more you scrub and tug at it, the more breakage you'll get.

Gently detangle curls while hair is wet, using the largest-tooth comb you can find. Instead of starting at the scalp, try combing through the bottom few inches... continue gently working upward in small sections until you've reached the scalp. You'll save yourself from excessive-and painful-tugging.

Ouidad Curl Quencher Shampoo is a gentle, effective daily shampoo with extra moisturizers for dry, parched, even unruly hair. Apply to hair with fingers, allow to remain on hair for 1 to 2 minutes before rinsing out to allow beneficial moisturizing agents to penetrate. Use in place of Clear Shampoo on dry thirsty curls. Specifically designed to be safe for colored or chemically treated hair.

Never bunch or scrub hair together while shampooing-you'll abuse the cuticle and set yourself up for weaker, frizzier hair. Use the pads of fingers only and massage the scalp, then gently comb outstretched fingers in a downward motion through the hair to cleanse and detangle.

It is not necessary to shampoo every day. This allows your natural oils to lubricate and protect your hair. On days you don't shampoo, use a light spritz of Ouidad Botanical Boost to refresh hair.

Ouidad Curl Quencher Conditioner is a protein-enriched, daily, moisturizing conditioner. It helps to detangle even dry, parched, or unruly hair. Apply to underneath layers and ends first, then comb outstretched fingers through hair for complete coverage. Do not rinse immediately! Allow the rinse to remain on hair for 2 to 3 minutes to plump hair with moisture and protein. Then rinse from scalp thoroughly, allowing a little to remain on ends of hair. You can substitute the Curl Quencher Conditioner in place of the Balancing Rinse as an after shampoo conditioner in the shower, but do not use as a leave-in conditioner after you have towel dried your hair. If you use a leave-in conditioner, use the Balancing Rinse or Botanical Boost after towel drying your hair. Specifically designed to be safe for colored or chemically treated hair.

Never twist or squeeze water from your hair; instead, let the towel do the work. Gently pat excess water from hair.
