Application Instructions

To get you started, here are basic instructions for a standard straightening technique using any QOD Brazilian Keratin product:

• Use QOD Original Cleanse Pre-Treatment Shampoo to thoroughly wash hair of impurities prior to treatment. Rinse well and towel dry.
• Blow dry the hair until still relatively damp – up to 50% dry.
• Prepare any salon safety protocols, including proper ventilation.
• Apply QOD GOLD, QOD MAX or QOD RED keratin formula in fine sections 1/4" away from the scalp. Use a fine-toothed comb through each section after application to ensure product is evenly distributed and to remove excess product. Blow-dry the hair until completely dry.
• Once hair is dry, flat iron the hair in small sections. The flat iron must be a professional ceramic iron that can maintain up to a 450 degree temperature. Optimal temperature setting used will depend upon the condition and texture of the individual hair-type.
• Leave product on hair for 20 minutes after flat-ironing.
• Shampoo and condition hair using QOD Gold After-care Shampoo and Conditioner (keratin-based and PH-balanced).
