How to apply?
Instructions for use complex Beautex Estel Haute Couture simple.
Before embarking on hair restoration, they need to be prepared, after having been washed out with Renovation shampoo. The tool is applied to the curls and foams. But the foam does not need to immediately wash off, and stand on the hair for 3 to 5 minutes. During this time, the active ingredients of the shampoo will clean the curls and open the scales. Then the product is thoroughly washed with warm water.
When washing the head, no additional caring or conditioning agents are used, otherwise the serum may not get into the hair structure and give no effect.
Before applying the serum, hair should be dried with a hairdryer without using a comb. Optimally, it will leave the curls slightly moist.
Clinic Elixir is applied using protective gloves. For convenience, the hair can be divided into zones, but this is not necessary. Serum is applied with a depth of about half a centimeter from the roots into small strands. It is important that the product is well covered curls, as followed by processing ironing. Lack of serum can cause thermal burns.
The treated hair is wrapped in film and left to the Clinic for 40–50 minutes. The time can be reduced to 20–30 minutes by using a sushiuar or klimazon at a temperature of 40–50 ° C. After the compositional time, the curls are dried with a hair dryer to dryness.
You can not leave them wet.
The next stage of the procedure is serum soldering into the hair. To do this, all the curls sequentially processed irons. It is important to do everything carefully and choose the right temperature depending on the type and condition of the hair:
- for thin and weak hair, as well as for blondes - 180 ° C;
- for normal and (or) colored hair - 210 ° C;
- for hard and (or) natural, unpainted hair - 230 ° C.
Strands are taken no thicker than 0.5 cm and no wider than 5 cm. Curls are processed slowly, several times, from the roots to the tips.Long strands on the iron can not be delayed. This is the most time consuming part of the whole procedure.
When the hair is processed, you can proceed to the final stage - applying the mask Hidrolipid. Before this, the curls that have been cooled after the ironing should be washed again using Renovation shampoo. It will wash away the remains of the serum, not absorbed into the hairs. The mask is applied for 3-5 minutes, then washed off.

Aftercare Rules

Experts recommend the first 48 hours not to wash your hair, and also not to tie them in tails, pigtails and in some way pin up using gum, hairpins and the like. Unpleasant wrinkles may appear on the curls, which will disappear only when the serum is washed out of the hairs.

As part of the series Beautex Estel Haute Couture is a shampoo and balsam for subsequent care, but it is absolutely unnecessary to use them. You can choose any shampoo that contains no sulphates, and any care balm that will nourish or moisturize the hair.
