Wring water out of hair and apply treatment of choice
*in shower NOT TOWEL DRIED
STEP # 2 Wet a small towel and heat it up in a microwave for 1min. then wrap it around your head and add a plastic shower cap on top “moist heat therapy” opens the cuticle of the hair and lets treatment penetrate deeper
Leave on for 10min.

MOIST HEAT THERAPY is most commonly used for rehabilitation purposes ,pains and aches!! same goes for hair that has been over worked with hot tools , chemical services and free radicals!!
