Curlaway is safe to use on permed or color-treated hair. Curlaway is compatible with all hair styling and conditioning products.

Warning:  For external use only. Keep out of reach of children. Keep out of eyes. If eye contact occurs, flush with cool water immediately. If skin irritation should occur, wash off with cool water and discontinue use. Curlaway Gel is safe to use on children’s hair when applied by an adult.

Curlaway-treated hair establishes its straighter "memory" during the drying phase.

How to apply Curlaway: Dampen your hair for easiest application, but you can also apply to dry hair – just harder to do. Add the gel to hair and comb through. Pull hair straight and tie or pin flat as possible. Cover hair with a bandana to keep gel moist. Wash out gel with very warm water after 4 – 9 hours. Use favorite conditioner, if desired. Towel dry and comb in your favorite leave-in conditioner/detangler or a small amount (dime-size dollop) of Curlaway gel. Pull hair straight again and blow or air-dry or pull straight in large rollers and dry under a bonnet dryer. Repeat until hair is as relaxed as desired.

For fastest results: Apply Curlaway Gel to wet or dry hair and pull hair straight by tying up into ponytails, wrapping around rollers or pressing hair flat with plastic clips. Leave gel on hair 3 to 9 hours (overnight). Rinse out, apply a very small amount of Avocado Oil (from your grocery store) and a very small amount of Curlaway (pea-size dollop) and dry hair, pulling hair straight into ponytails or on large rollers, or blow-drying as hair is pulled straight with a brush. Finish with a heat-styling tool for added smoothness and shine. Repeat as frequently as every other day.

For more gradual relaxation, maintenance and new growth: Add a small amount of Curlaway Gel daily to roots or hair with the palms of your hands and comb through.

Use on Men and Children’s Hair: The natural ingredients in Curlaway will not break or damage your hair, or irritate your scalp. Curlaway is safe to use on children's hair (under your supervision), men's hair, and processed hair (color-enhanced, permed or straightened hair). Remember that Curlaway's straightening properties are cumulative - each time you use it, your hair becomes slightly straighter. This is a gradual process, so do not expect dramatic relaxation after the first application. By the sixth application, your curl will be significantly relaxed and you can continue treatments for more straightening, or keep the looser curls for a more "natural" look.

You can se Curlaway as a leave-in relaxer using a light amount each day. If you want a faster treatment, try flattening your hair with a bandana or a baseball cap.

WARNING: Curlaway may be used on children's hair by an adult. Do not allow children to apply the gel themselves. Because Curlaway contains a natural plant acid, it is an eye irritant, and children should be told to keep their hands away from the gel to avoid accidental eye contact. Their hair should be wrapped in plastic wrap followed by a bandana or ball cap to avoid any dripping onto the face and particularly the eye area. If eye contact occurs, flush eyes with cool water immediately.

Keeping your hair relaxed or returning to more curls: If you stop using Curlaway, your hair will gradually revert to its previous texture/curl. Your results are semi-permanent and your hair will begin to re-curl in three to six weeks, depending on your hair type and humidity levels. When you retreat your hair, you may apply it to all parts of the hair, including those areas that were already relaxed. You can re-apply Curlaway Curl Relaxer any time you want less curl or frizz. The MSM (methylsulfonylmethane or dimethylsulfone) in Curlaway and the grapeseed oil conditions your hair and improves feel, shine and flexibility.

Use with other products and on previously-straightened hair: Curlaway Curl Relaxer may be used before or after regular chemical relaxers, or before or after hair coloring. Because hair types vary and your hair may already be processed with a variety of chemicals that can make it more porous, the right length of treatment time for you may be a little more or less than described here. The more porous your hair has become from prior chemicals and dyes, the faster Curlaway will work. The use of Curlaway as a leave-in styling gel is advised - apply a small amount to the palm of your hand, then work through your hair and comb or brush in prior to drying hair. If you prefer, you may also use any other styling gel after a Curlaway treatment.
