To straighten natural curls or coarse hair at home, you can use X-Tenso® Oleoshape™. For Step 1, apply X-tenso Smoothing Cream Straightener, avoiding the scalp, and leave it for 10-20 minutes. Rinse, dry, then flat-iron at 180°C (356°F). For Step 2, apply X-tenso Neutralizer Cream, leave it for 20-30 minutes while combing gently, then rinse thoroughly. The whole process takes about 30 minutes and the result lasts up to 2 months. Choosing the right EX / M / R / N variant is the key to success.
