DIFFERENT TYPES OF CURLS*
*W ork carried out by LOral research teams in 22 countries has enabled us to create a classification of eight types of curl. The scale is based on the very precise measurements of the hair fibres morphological parameters (the curve diameter and the number of waves) and as a result is more precise and also morereliable.

KNOT TEST
Check the hair regularly during the development time using the knot test as a guide. Isolate a meche of hair about 1mm thick (6 to 10 hairs) and 1. test elasticity every 5minutes.
2. Make a knot with the meche of hair in the most sensitised area.
3. Gently tighten the knot. Hold knot between two hands and try to undo it by pushing on the two ends of the meche.
4. If the knot loosens, leave the straightening cream on longer and redo the test after 5 minutes. If the knot holds rm, development is over and the hair is straightened enough. Undo the knot. Rinse thoroughly (for approx 5 minutes) to eliminate all traces of cream. With a dryer, blast dry the hair until 80% dry.
