What is Keratin?
Keratin is a natural repairing substance, which comprises approximately 88% of your hair. It penetrates the hair repairing internal damage and coats the hair preventing further damage. Keratin is high in sulphur and the amino acid cystine which make it tough, elastic and insoluble. These qualities are fundamental to the strong structural role keratin often plays in nature. It is the main protective substance in our hair, skin and nails.

For curly hair, it is necessary to perform a relaxation before applying the Moroccan Treatment. It is necessary to wash your hair thoroughly to remove the relaxation cream and remove the water excess with a towel. After removing the water excess, apply the treatment and wait for 20 minutes. After this time, blow-dry the hair completely with a blow-dryer followed with a flat straightening iron at 356 degrees Fahrenheit.

How to apply the Moroccan Treatment?
After washing the hair with Inoar Shampoo (except if you performed a relaxation), you’ll dry it completely with a blow-dryer. Separate the hair in small sections and apply the product equally. Let it sit on your hair for 20 minutes and then flat iron it at least seven times per section. The secret for a successful Moroccan Treatment is a good flat iron application. Do not flat iron large sections at once, unless the customer desires a not so straight effect. Flat ironing large sections will only reduce volume and not create a straightening effect.
