Richée Professional Argan and Ojon Kit (Anti-Residue Shampoo + Active Reducer + Healing Mask) 3x1 Liter
The Richée Professional Argan and Ojon Kit is a complete professional hair treatment system developed for hair realignment, straightening, and reconstruction. Composed of three steps, it promises to transform hair texture, providing a long-lasting straight effect, volume and frizz reduction, while also offering deep nourishment and intense shine, thanks to its rich formulation with Argan Oil, Ojon Oil, D-Panthenol, and Sericin.
Description and Effects:
This kit is ideal for professionals seeking an effective treatment for hair that requires realignment and deep revitalization.
Anti-Residue Shampoo (Step 1): Developed to perform a deep cleansing of the hair. It removes impurities, accumulated product residues, and excess oil, preparing the hair fiber to receive the Step 2 treatment, ensuring that the cuticles are open for better absorption of active ingredients.
Active Reducer (Step 2): This is the main agent for hair realignment. Its formula acts on the hair structure, providing the straight effect, volume reduction, and frizz elimination. It contains D-Panthenol and Sericin.
D-Panthenol: Known for its hydrating and repairing properties, it contributes to hair softness, shine, and elasticity.
Sericin: A protein that acts on the hair surface, sealing the cuticles, providing shine, softness, and a silky touch, in addition to assisting in alignment.
Argan and Ojon oils (indicated by the line name) are powerful nourishing agents, rich in vitamins and fatty acids, which offer hydration, protection, and contribute to overall hair health.
Healing Mask (Step 3): A treatment mask developed to seal the cuticles, provide deep nourishment, and restore the hair after the chemical process. It also contains D-Panthenol, which helps prolong hydration, provide shine, and softness. It is essential to finalize the treatment, balance the hair's pH, and ensure the durability of the straight effect, as well as promoting hair health and shine.
General Effects of the Kit:
Long-Lasting Straightening and Realignment: Provides smoother, more aligned, and disciplined hair for an extended period.
Intense Volume and Frizz Reduction: Controls excessive volume and eliminates frizz, leaving hair more manageable.
Radiant Shine and Extreme Softness: The sealing of cuticles and the nourishment from the oils result in hair with mirror-like shine and a silky touch.
Reconstruction and Repair: Active ingredients like Proteins, D-Panthenol, and Sericin, along with the oils, work to repair damage and strengthen the hair fiber.
Professional Use: Indicated for hairdressers, ensuring optimized and safe results.
How to Use (Professional Use - Detailed Protocol):
It is ESSENTIAL that the professional strictly follows the detailed instructions provided in the Richée technical manual or on the product packaging. The general protocol is:
Step 1: Anti-Residue Shampoo
Wash: Apply Richée Professional Anti-Residue Shampoo (Step 1) to wet hair.
Massage: Gently massage the scalp and hair, forming plenty of lather, focusing on deep cleansing.
Rinse: Rinse completely.
Repeat: Repeat the washing process 1 to 2 times (or as per specific brand instructions), leaving the shampoo on for a few minutes during the last wash to ensure cuticles are well open and hair is free of residues.
Step 2: Active Reducer
Dry: After washing with Step 1, blow-dry hair 80% to 100% dry.
Divide Hair: Divide hair into fine, uniform sections.
Apply Product: Wearing gloves and using a brush, apply Richée Professional Active Reducer (Step 2) section by section, from mid-lengths to ends. Maintain a distance of 0.5 to 1 cm from the scalp.
Comb: Use a fine-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly and remove any excess. Ensure that all sections are well covered by the product.
Processing Time: Let the product act on the hair. The processing time is crucial and varies according to hair type and resistance (generally between 30 to 60 minutes for fine/wavy hair and up to 90 minutes for more resistant/coily hair). Base your decision on the strand test.
Rinse (Partial or Total): After the processing time, rinse hair. Some products require a partial rinse (removing 50-70% of the product), while others require a total rinse. ALWAYS CHECK RICHÉE'S SPECIFIC INSTRUCTION for this particular product.
Blow Drying and Brushing: Blow-dry hair 100% completely, aligning the strands with a brush to prepare them for flat ironing.
Step 3: Healing Mask
Flat Ironing (Thermal Sealing):
Divide hair into very thin sections.
Flat iron each section slowly and carefully, 10 to 20 times (or more, depending on hair resistance and desired straight effect).
Flat Iron Temperature: Adjust the temperature according to hair type:
Blonde, bleached, fine, or damaged hair: Use lower temperatures (180°C to 200°C / 350°F to 390°F) to avoid damage and color alteration.
Dark and resistant hair: Higher temperatures (210°C to 230°C / 410°F to 450°F) can be used.
The heat from the flat iron is essential to activate the realignment components and seal the cuticles.
Apply Healing Mask: After flat ironing and once hair has cooled, apply Richée Professional Healing Mask (Step 3) section by section.
Mask Processing Time: Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes for intensive hydration and sealing.
Rinse and Finish: Rinse hair thoroughly to remove the mask. Finish as desired (air dry or blow-dry).
Important Precautions:
Professional Use: This product is for exclusive use by duly trained hairdressing professionals.
Strand Test and Patch Test: INDISPENSABLE and MANDATORY before each application to determine compatibility, ideal processing time, and prevent allergic reactions.
Ventilation: Perform the procedure in a well-ventilated area.
Pregnant Women, Nursing Mothers, and Children: It is recommended not to use on pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children.
Compatibility: Although many products are compatible, professional assessment of previous chemical treatments is crucial.
