### The Science Behind Optimum Care 11 Regular

At the heart of this exceptional relaxer lies the innovative Optimum Care 11 system, a proprietary blend engineered to provide comprehensive care during the chemical process. Unlike traditional relaxers, SoftSheen Carson has infused this formula with eleven powerful conditioning ingredients that work synergistically to protect, strengthen, and nourish the hair from within. This advanced complex includes enriching components like natural oils and ceramides, known for their ability to reinforce the hair’s natural barrier and seal in moisture.

The “Regular” strength is specifically calibrated for individuals with medium to coarse, naturally curly or coily hair that requires effective straightening without excessive harshness. This precise formulation ensures optimal breakage protection, allowing for a thorough relaxation process that results in hair that is not only beautifully straight but also remarkably soft, shiny, and resilient. The generous 500-gram quantity makes it an ideal choice for professional salons, ensuring ample supply for multiple applications and consistent client satisfaction.

### How to Use SoftSheen Carson Optimum Care 11 Regular Relaxer

**IMPORTANT:** Always perform a strand test and a patch test 48 hours before full application to check for allergic reactions and determine optimal processing time. Wear protective gloves throughout the entire process. Do not use on bleached, highlighted, permed, or color-treated hair showing signs of damage.

**Required Items:** SoftSheen Carson Optimum Care 11 Regular Relaxer (Activator & Cream), Protective Gloves, Timer, Non-metallic Mixing Bowl and Spatula, Applicator Brush, Sectioning Clips, Petroleum Jelly or Base Cream, Neutralizing Shampoo (with color indicator if possible), Deep Conditioner, Towels.

**Step-by-Step Application:**

1. **Preparation:**
* Do not shampoo hair for at least 3-4 days prior to relaxing.
* Part hair into four equal sections (front to back, ear to ear).
* Apply a generous amount of petroleum jelly or base cream to the scalp, hairline, ears, and nape of the neck to protect the skin.
* Detangle hair gently.

2. **Mixing the Relaxer:**
* Pour the entire contents of the Liquid Activator (small bottle) into the Relaxer Base Cream (large tub, 500g).
* Using a non-metallic spatula, stir thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and completely smooth, with no lumps. Do not mix with fingers.

3. **Application:**
* Starting from the back sections, using an applicator brush, apply the relaxer mixture evenly to small sub-sections of hair.
* Begin application about ¼ inch away from the scalp, working down towards the ends.
* Avoid applying relaxer directly to the scalp or previously relaxed hair (if doing a touch-up).
* Work quickly and systematically, ensuring even coverage.
* Once all sections are covered, gently smooth the hair with the back of the comb or your gloved fingers, making sure not to pull or stretch the hair.

4. **Processing Time:**
* Refer to your strand test results for accurate processing time.
* Typical processing times for Regular strength:
* Fine hair: 10-15 minutes
* Medium hair: 15-20 minutes
* Coarse hair: 20-25 minutes
* **DO NOT EXCEED the maximum recommended time.** Monitor the hair closely. If you experience burning or irritation, rinse immediately.

5. **Rinsing:**
* Once the desired straightness is achieved, rinse hair thoroughly with warm water, making sure all traces of the relaxer cream are removed. Continue rinsing until the water runs clear.

6. **Neutralizing:**
* Apply a generous amount of SoftSheen Carson neutralizing shampoo. Lather well, ensuring the shampoo reaches all parts of the hair and scalp.
* **Important:** If using a color-indicating neutralizing shampoo, shampoo again until the lather is completely white (no pink or other color remaining), indicating complete neutralization.
* Rinse thoroughly and repeat the neutralizing shampoo process if necessary.

7. **Conditioning:**
* Apply a rich, deep conditioning treatment to replenish moisture and strengthen the hair.
* Leave on for the recommended time (typically 5-10 minutes), then rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticles.

8. **Styling:**
* Gently towel-dry and style as desired. For best results, air-dry or use low heat.

**Post-Relaxer Care:** To maintain the health and beauty of your relaxed hair, incorporate regular deep conditioning treatments, use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, and protect your hair at night with a silk scarf or bonnet.
