Re-Lacks & Max Re-Lacks by Paul Brown Hawaii

Re-Lacks & Max Re-Lacks are both designed to straighten narturally curly and way har without damageing the cuticle layer. This leaves you hair strong radient and fully relaxed. Max Re-Lacks is Paul Brown stronger relaxer for naturally wavy and curly hair.

Here is what to expect when you have the Paul Brown Hawaii Re-Lacks or Max Re-Laxks applied to your hair at you local Paul_Brown_Salon:
The Re-Lacks or Max Re-Lacks straighteners are for professional use only. This is intendes as an overview to prepare you as a customer - by explaining wheat you can expect. If you are a professional stylist need a set of complete instruction contact the manufacturer directly.

Re-Lacks and Max Re-Lacks are always applied to dry hair.

  • The hair is NOT pre shampooed when using a sodiun hydroxide relaxer.
  • Do NOT use on har that has previously been straightened with had Amonium Thioglicolate or had a permanent wave
  • Sodium Hydroxide and Thio are NOT compatible. Breakage will ensue if you use both on the same hair.
  • Again 1)-Sodiun Hydroxide straighteners and 2)-permanant wave solutions (and similar thio based straightening products) DO NOT mix

Application:

  • Step one is to Apply barrier to the hairline, the ears and the entire scalp before starting the Re-Lacks process.
  • Re Lacks is applied to 1/4 inch sections
  • apply to top and bottomof each parting
  • start at thenape and wrk forward
  • always apply to front hairline and outer edges last as these areas wil process much faster
  • comb through to coer all hair that has NOT been straightened previously

Straightening:

  • Smoothe the straightening paste onto the hair (the use of the straightening boards is optional) and press while slightly stretching the hair while the straightening product is on it.
  • It is the smoothing process that makes the hair straight - this is the process where the relaxer is redistributed throughtout each section "stretching or smoothg" the hair straight in each section.
  • When doing a retouch the relaxer and smoother is only applied to the NEW growth. It is not re applied to the already straight section.
  • For those who don't know what is happening inside the hair shaft, think of it this way. Hair styling deals with two different types of bonds within your hair. The water bonds are the stronger, temporary, bonds we fool with evey day to temporairly style our hair. The chemically Cross Bonds are the weaker bonds but they are always there, and always the same, unless we chemically change them. When you shampoo your hair or even just get it wet, - the temporary water bonds are released. This allows the permanent cross bonds inside the hair to gain control. When we chemically perm hair to make it "permanently culry" or when we chemically straighten hair to make it "permanently straight" we are changing the internal cross bonds inside the air shaft. When you have a perm the first step is to wrap the hair onperm rods. This puts an internal stress onthe permanent bonds so that when they are chemically released by the perm solutin they will move to a new position where the neutralizer re-hardens them. thisis what makws the perm permanent. Likewise when you hair is already curly 3 things must happen.
    1. the cross bonds muist be released
    2. the cross bonds must have a stress applied to to them, through the hair, to get the cross bonds to move to thei new 'straighter" position and
    3. the corss bons must be re-hardened in thei new position
      (for more info see the Hair Matters.US Hair Perms page)
  • With a perm you "move the cross-bonds" by using the rods to make the hair culry, with a straightener you apply stress by physically stretching the hair in the smothing process, to cause the bonds to shift and hold the hair straight.

Processing:

  • set the timer to be sure you know how long the hair has been processing
  • with damaged or abused hair start checking at 20 minutes (including application & smoothing time)
  • for normal hair start checking at 30 minutes
  • processing time varies but is usually under 60 minutes

Normalize:

  • remove boards prior to rinsing
  • rinse a full timed 5 minutes
  • be sure all of the relaxing product is removed (rinsed thoroughly) from hair before shampooing
  • Shampoo with Clarifying_Shampoo two (2) times
  • rinse well - then towel blott
  • Apply Resurect and process for at least 3 to 5 minuts
  • Re-Shampoo once with Wash_Elite.
  • applu treat elite leave in conditioner for both conditioning and to help take out the tangles
  • then apply Diamond_Heads Hair Cuticle Sealer to condition the cuticle and seal in the shine (put a few drops in the palm - rub hands together ot warm up the diamnd heads and cover all of the processed hair.
  • apply stay Stay_Straight_Molding_Cream: it is an anti-frizz molding cream tha can be pressed, heat dried or dried naturally to help kep the hair in place even in inclement weather.
  • proceed with styling.

Reminder:

  • There is a 2 day (48 hour) oxication period for the bonds in the hair to re-harden and take their new shape
  • hair should NOT be shanpooed or NOT be re-wet or NOT have anything done to it that will change the position of the bonds during these 2 days
