How to Rebond Your Hair At Home


Instructions

    • 1
      Wash hair with mild shampoo, rinse out and dry with a blow-dryer on medium setting.
    • 2
      Separate hair into sections with a comb. Hold sections in place with hair clips.
    • 3
      Put on the gloves that come with the kit. Apply the relaxant or cream softener to the hair. Keep the product on your hair for at least 30 minutes, but check the directions of the rebonding kit that you're using because each kit has its own time frame depending on the chemicals used and the texture of the hair.
    • 4
      Steam hair for 10 to 30 minutes with a hair steamer. If you don't have a hair steamer, boil a pot of water on the stove, put on gloves, place a towel in the hot water, ring it out and then wrap it around the hair. The length of time for steaming depends on the texture and condition of the hair.
    • 5
      Rinse out the relaxant or cream softener in water. Dry your hair with a blow-dryer.
    • 6
      Apply the keratin lotion to the hair. The hair is made of keratin, a form of protein. Leave lotion on hair. Do not rinse out.
    • 7
      Iron hair with a ceramic flat iron until hair is straight. The flat iron removes any remaining curl.
    • 8
      Separate hair into sections. Apply a neutralizer to each hair section. Leave neutralizer on for at least 30 minutes. Again consult the directions on the kit. The neutralizer sets the new bonds of the hair.
    • 9
      Rinse out neutralizer in cold water. Blow dry hair until it is completely dry.
    • 10
      Iron hair with the flat iron again for a final touch-up.
