If the hair is damaged or broken after the test, do not continue with the application NB: Test meche can be carried out before or on the day of the client’s appointment. KNOT TEST Check the hair regularly during the development time using the knot test as a guide. 1. Isolate a meche of hair about 1mm thick (6 to 10 hairs) and test elasticity every 5 minutes. 2. Make a knot with the meche of hair in the most sensitised area. 3. Gently tighten the knot. Hold knot between two hands and try to undo it by pushing on the two ends of the meche. 4. If the knot loosens, leave the straightening cream on longer and redo the test after 5 minutes. If the knot holds firm, development is over and the hair is straightened enough. Undo the knot. Rinse thoroughly (for approx 5 minutes) to eliminate all traces of cream. With a dryer, blast dry the hair until 80% dry. www.lorealprofessionnel.co.uk For further information please contact: The L’Oréal Professionnel salon advice line on 0800 030 4034 (ROI 1800 535 616) or email: [email protected]
