Preparation: Assess hair to confirm suitability for Creative Gel No. 1 (normal, untreated hair) or No. 2 (tinted/highlighted hair). Wash hair with a deep cleansing shampoo (e.g., Schwarzkopf BC Deep Cleansing Shampoo) to remove residue, towel-dry to damp.

Application: Wearing gloves, apply Creative Gel to targeted sections (e.g., roots for lift or regrowth for curl refresh) using a brush or comb. Wind hair onto perm rods or curlers for partial perm effects, or apply to roots for volume support.

Processing: Leave on for 10-20 minutes, depending on hair condition (10-15 minutes for normal hair, 15-20 for slightly porous). Check a test section for curl development. Rinse thoroughly with warm water without removing rods.

Neutralizing: Apply Schwarzkopf Natural Styling Neutralizer (e.g., Neutralizer for Creative Gel 1) to hair on rods, leave for 5 minutes, remove rods, apply remaining neutralizer to lengths, leave for 5 minutes, rinse thoroughly.

Finishing: Apply a conditioner (e.g., Schwarzkopf BC Repair Rescue) for 5-10 minutes, rinse, and style. Store products in a cool, dry place, as they are flammable. Perform a strand test 48 hours prior to check for allergies. For professional use only.

What is Creative Gel designed for? It’s a styling gel for partial perming, root lift, or refreshing regrowth, creating volume and support for normal (No. 1) or tinted (No. 2) hair, with Hydrowave Technology and aloe vera.

Is it vegan and cruelty-free? Yes, it’s 100% vegan and cruelty-free, free of animal-derived ingredients, with aloe vera and no animal testing.

What hair types is it suitable for? No. 1 for normal, untreated hair; No. 2 for tinted or highlighted hair (up to 30% lightened), ideal for creative styling or root volume.

How long do the effects last? Effects last 6-8 weeks, depending on hair growth and styling, shorter than full perms due to targeted application.

Can it be used on colour-treated hair? Yes, No. 2 is formulated for tinted/highlighted hair, while No. 1 suits untreated hair; avoid on heavily bleached hair.

Does it damage hair? Hydrowave Technology and aloe vera minimize damage, but over-processing can cause dryness; users report shiny, soft results with proper timing.

Is it safe for home use? Professional-grade, but some use it at home with caution; improper application risks uneven curls or damage, so a strand test is essential.

Does it have a strong smell? Mild chemical scent from thioglycolate, softened by aloe vera and fragrance notes like linalool; ventilation is recommended.

Can it re-energize tired curls? Yes, it refreshes regrowth or tired perms, adding lift and support without treating lengths, as noted by stylists.

Does it require heat? Typically no heat is needed; processing takes 10-20 minutes at room temperature, though heat (45°C) can speed up for resistant hair.
