How to Use (Professional Use)
As a professional-use product, precise application is crucial for optimal results and safety. Always perform a strand test and sensitivity test before full application.
IMPORTANT: This product is for PROFESSIONAL USE only. Performing a strand test and sensitivity test is mandatory before any application to prevent adverse reactions and ensure hair health. Pregnant and lactating women should consult a doctor before using the product. Protective gloves must be worn during application.
Strand Test:
Identify the most fragile part of the hair (e.g., a thin strand at the nape of the neck).
Apply a small amount of the product according to the instructions below.
Evaluate if the result is satisfactory in terms of hair reaction (elasticity, breakage, color change, etc.). If any damage occurs, do not proceed with full application.
Sensitivity Test (Skin):
Apply a small amount of the product to the forearm or behind the ear.
Leave for 30 minutes. Wash off and observe for any allergic reactions (redness, itching, swelling) within 24 hours. If present, do not use the product.
Preparation (Shampoo):
Wash hair thoroughly with an anti-residue shampoo (often a Step 1 product from the Lissever line). This helps to open the cuticles for better product penetration. Some instructions suggest washing 2-3 times.
Rinse hair completely.
Towel-dry hair, removing excess water. Some sources suggest applying to 100% dry hair for better penetration, while others imply damp hair. It's crucial to follow the specific instructions on the product packaging.
Product Application (Active Lissever White - Step 2):
Divide hair into 4 sections.
Starting from the nape of the neck, apply the product to thin strands using a brush and a fine-tooth comb.
Maintain a distance of 1 cm (approximately 0.4 inches) from the scalp.
Distribute the product evenly from root to tip, ensuring all strands are well-coated but avoiding excess.
Processing Time:
Allow the product to act for 40 to 60 minutes, depending on hair thickness and resistance. Some sources suggest 45 to 60 minutes. For very thick, resistant, or difficult hair, a plastic cap can be used.
Partial Rinse:
After the processing time, rinse the hair lightly, leaving approximately 50% of the product on the strands for optimal straightening. This is a common specific instruction for Lissever White. (Note: Some other progressive treatments might advise a full rinse, so always verify for this specific product.)
Blow Drying and Brushing:
Blow-dry the hair 100% straight and smooth using a brush.
Flat Ironing (Sealing):
Divide hair into very thin sections.
Flat iron each section slowly and thoroughly 15 to 25 times (the more you flat iron, the better the result), until the cuticles are completely sealed and the hair has an extraordinary shine.
Adjust the flat iron temperature according to hair type:
Bleached, Blonde, Highlighted, or Colored Hair: Use temperatures up to 200°C (400°F) to prevent fading.
Thick, Very Rebellious, and Difficult Hair: Use temperatures up to 230°C (450°F).
Finishing:
Allow hair to cool down.
Finish with products from the Lissever line or as desired.
The durability of the straight effect is typically around 3 months, after which root touch-ups are usually needed.
The Active Lissever White is designed to deliver professional, high-performance straightening results with added benefits of hydration, nutrition, and hair reconstruction, all while being formaldehyde-free.
