CHI stands for: Cationic Hydration Interlink, which is a positively charged molecule that provides moisture and links into the hair fiber.The silk and protein bonds are Cationic (positively charged) to penetrate into the negative areas within the hair to build strength and resilience.

CHI is created under the Farouk Systems Group, that has the most innovative technology to hydrolyze the silk in liquid form or grind the Silk into a powder form.

• Isolate 1 inch of hair around the hairline.

Please follow the instructions carefully:

• Measure desired amount of chosen Phase 1 CHI Transformation Solution in a plastic bowl.
• Always start the application from bottom of your back quadrants (nape) followed by two front quadrants.
• Remember to leave the hair line subsections until last.
• Use 1/8 inch horizontal subsections.
• Comb each section prior to application of Phase 1 CHI Transformation Solution.
• Wearing gloves apply generously with tint brush to areas you want to transform (straighten) and keeping 1/8 inch away from the scalp at all times.
• Do not apply against natural growth patterns, pay special attention to cowlicks and crown area.
• Always follow the natural growth pattern of the hair, being careful not to add too much tension to root area.
• After the application is completed, DO NOT comb the hair!

Retouch Application

• Apply only to re-growth area 1/8 inch away from the scalp.
• Avoid overlapping!

Always test in 3 different places (back, sides and front):

1. Check the elasticity of the hair.
• Take a small strand of hair between your fingers and gently pull in outward direction. You should feel the hair return back like an elastic band.
2. Check formation.
• By using a water spray bottle, remove product from strand and check the formation against palm of your hand.
• Important! You are not looking for perfectly straight hair at this point.
• When desired transformation has been achieved, hair is ready for intermediate rinsing.
• Do not comb the hair!

Check the results every 3 minutes!

Timing is always approximate. But DO NOT exceed processing times! To accelerate processing time, low heat may be used with Formula A and B of the CHI Transformation Phase One Solution. Cool for 5 minutes if heat is used. DO NOT use heat with Formula C. Keep in mind the texture, condition and the porosity of the hair. Use your professional judgment! (Always strand test prior to service).
