Keratin / Brazilian Blow Dry
Patch Test Instructions
Important: Please read carefully before performing the patch test.
Why Do a Patch Test?
​
​A patch test helps to check if you might have an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the keratin/Brazilian blow dry product before your full treatment. This is a safety precaution to protect your skin and health.
When to do the Patch Test?
​​​​​
-
​Perform the patch test at least 48 hours before your scheduled treatment appointment.
-
Do not wash off the product during this time.
What You'll Need
​​​​​
-
​The keratin/Brazilian blow dry product sample (in the sealed vial or sachet)
-
Cotton swab or applicator (included)
-
Clean, dry skin behind your ear or inside your elbow (recommended test areas)
How to do the Patch Test?
​​​​​​
​ 1. Clean the Test Area:
Gently cleanse the skin behind your ear or inside your elbow with soap and water. Pat dry completely.
2. Apply the Product:
Using the cotton swab, apply a small amount of the product (about a pea-sized drop) to the test area. Do not rub it in; just let it sit on the skin.
3. Leave It On:
Keep the product on your skin and avoid washing or rubbing the area for 24 to 48 hours.
4. Observe:
Check the test site for any signs of irritation such as redness, itching, swelling, rash, burning, or discomfort.
What to do if...
​​​​​
-
​ No reaction: You may proceed with your keratin/Brazilian blow dry treatment as planned.
-
Mild irritation (redness, itching): Do NOT proceed with the treatment.
-
Severe reaction (swelling, rash, burning): Wash the area gently with cool water and mild soap, stop using the product, and seek medical advice immediately.
