THERMAL ACTIVATION / PASSES

The number of passes is determined by the desired transformation. For soft results or frizz reduction, do from 6 to 8 passes. For maximum smoothness, we recommend from 10 to 12 passes. You may customize the number of passes if hair lengths are more sensitized or previously treated. I.e. more passes on roots vs. ends.
