PAIR IT WITH
African Pride Shea Butter Miracle Texture Softening System is a one-application kit designed to gently soften tight curls and coils, improving stretch, elongation and everyday manageability without fully straightening hair.
Perfect for those wanting more manageable curls, not straight hair Suited to naturally curly, wavy or kinky-coily hair textures wanting easier detangling and styling, or relaxer transitioners wanting new growth to blend more easily with previously processed ends.
Loosening the curl pattern, not removing it A full relaxer changes hair texture completely, which isn't what everyone wants. This system is built to soften and stretch the natural curl pattern instead, making hair easier to manage and style while keeping some of its natural texture.

How to Use and Care for Texture Softening System
Before you begin: Read and follow all instructions supplied in the kit. Perform a patch test and a strand test first, and confirm the scalp is healthy with no cuts or abrasions.
Pre-Treatment: Apply the Curl Control Pre-Treatment as directed, ahead of the softening step.
Apply the Texture Softening Crème: Apply as directed in the kit instructions, monitoring hair texture throughout. Do not exceed the processing time stated on your instruction sheet.
Rinse & Normalize: Rinse thoroughly, then use the included Normalizing Shampoo to help stop the softening action.
Condition: Apply the included Leave-In Conditioner to help restore moisture and softness.
Style: Finish with the included Bouncy Curls Pudding to define and style curls as desired.
Aftercare: Follow the kit's guidance on how soon touch-ups or repeat applications are appropriate — do not repeat the process more frequently than instructed.
