A cold-process home straightening kit that softens stubborn curl from the root and finishes with a conditioning after-treatment for smoother, straighter hair.
About this product
A complete at-home straightening kit sized for short hair, ProQualite EX is built around Utena's cold two-step perm system: Solution 1 relaxes stubborn curl from the hair's core, Solution 2 locks the new straight shape in place, and a rich after-treatment with argan oil and hyaluronic acid helps smooth the cuticle and reduce the dryness that processing can leave behind. It's designed for humid, frizz-prone climates where regrowth and waves fight back fast.
How to use
- Section dry, unwashed hair and apply Solution 1 from mid-lengths to ends first, then finally to the roots; comb through to distribute evenly.
- Leave for 5-15 minutes per the included timing guide, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water only (no shampoo).
- Apply Solution 2 generously from roots to ends; leave for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
- Finish with the after-treatment, leave 3-5 minutes, then rinse and style as usual.
Ingredients
- Monoethanolamine Thioglycolate (Solution 1) — quasi-drug active that softens and breaks the hair's internal protein bonds so curl can be reshaped.
- Sodium Bromate (Solution 2) — quasi-drug fixing agent that re-forms bonds in the new straight shape.
- Hydrolyzed Lanolin & Hydrolyzed Keratin — conditioning agents that help offset processing dryness.
- Seaweed Extract — moisture-supporting botanical in both solutions.
- Argan Oil, Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Silk (After-Treatment) — repair and shine-boosting conditioning blend applied after processing.
FAQ
Is this safe for color-treated hair?
Perform a strand test first; combining chemical services can increase dryness, so check the full instructions before applying.
How long does the straightening last?
Results last through hair growth, similar to other chemical straightening treatments; regrowth will need reapplication at the roots only.
Does the kit include everything I need?
Yes — Solution 1, Solution 2, after-treatment, a straightening comb, and gloves are all included.
