Soft and Beautiful Extend-A-Perm's easy to use three-step kit reduces breakage, while it keeps hair looking straight until the next relaxer treatment. Achieve best results by using each step of the straightening system. First, the Softening Shampoo loosens the curl pattern with siliconized moisturizers that separate and clean the hair. Next, the Detangling Conditioner provides extra moisture to nourish and strengthen the hair as it softens and detangles. Lastly, the heat activated Thermal Straightening Lotion locks in moisture to create a layer of thermal protection as it straightens.
