Hair Analysis and Preparation [0:20]
The video starts with an analysis of the customer's hair, which hasn't been colored and has undergone smoothing over a year ago. Enno mentions that the hair texture is wavy with thick strands. He decides to use a resistant smoothing treatment suitable for normal hair. The initial step is to treat the wavy roots before applying the solution to the mid and ends of the hair, which still holds some remnants of the previous smoothing.
Applying the Treatment [1:15]
Enno emphasizes the importance of washing the hair before applying the product and stresses the need for gloves to protect the hands during application. He explains why the hair is treated in sections rather than all at once, highlighting that treated hair absorbs the product faster than new growth. He carefully applies the treatment, making sure it doesn't contact the scalp to avoid any adverse effects.
Smoothing Process and Timing [3:23]
After applying the initial treatment, which should not exceed 20 minutes, he checks the elasticity of the hair to ensure sufficient relaxation. Enno describes the technique for the smoothing process using a two-finger clamp, which helps straighten the hair gradually. He mentions that the second application should be left on for an extended period for better absorption, making adjustments based on experience from previous salon work.
Post-Treatment Washing and Drying [6:50]
Once the treatment is complete, the hair is rinsed thoroughly without shampoo or conditioner to ensure no residue remains, which could affect the drying and final styling. He stresses that excess product can lead to unsatisfactory results, so the hair must feel clean post-wash before moving on to the next steps. Enno then dries the hair completely.
Ironing and Final Styling [12:04]
Enno begins the straightening process by first curling the ends with a lower temperature to prevent frizz. He instructs viewers to focus on sections and apply heat carefully. After the initial ironing, he applies a neutralizing product and lets it set for 15 minutes before washing again with just conditioner. Finally, he applies hair tonic and dries it again to showcase the smooth, shiny results.
Results and Customer Satisfaction [14:40]
The final result shows straight, shiny, and soft hair. The client expresses satisfaction with the natural look achieved. Enno emphasizes that even after washing, the hair will retain its sleekness, affirming that the smoothing treatment was successful.
