REQUIREMENTS

Now pour the peel-water rinse over each section of your hair so that it is completely coated. Ensure that you are applying the rinse into your scalp as well for some scalp stimulation.

You can either rinse out the mixture with cold water or let it remain in your hair by blotting the hair dry with a towel or other soft clothes.
