How to apply QIQI Hair Controller at home.
01
Wash & dry
Shampoo twice with a clarifying wash to remove all product buildup. Blow-dry completely — the hair must be fully dry before application.
02
Apply & process
Section the hair and apply QIQI Hair Controller from root to tip. Sit under a heated cap for 20–45 minutes depending on your hair type. The heat activates the keratin.
03
Seal with heat
Blow-dry smooth, then flat-iron every section at 230°C. The iron locks the treatment into the hair shaft. Results last up to 5 months with sulphate-free aftercare.

Which QIQI formula is right for my hair?

How long do QIQI results last?
Up to 5 months with the correct aftercare. Using a sulphate-free shampoo (such as QIQI Smooth Service Shampoo) is essential — sulphates strip the treatment and can reduce results to 4–6 weeks.
