Kit Directions: Shake the bottle of Prep and apply 1/4 to 1/3 fl. oz. of Prep Solution to a dry scalp during a shower. Allow the product to remain on the scalp for 30 seconds to 3 minutes. Do not massage or rub. Rinse. Dispense 1/4 to 1/3 fl. oz. of the Purify Cleanser into the palms, spread over the palms, and apply evenly through the hair. Add a little water and work into a lather by moving the fingers against the scalp using small circular motions. Rinse. If the product did not foam the first time, repeat this step. After bathing, towel-dry the hair gently and apply 1/4 to 1/3 fl. oz. of the Protect solution to the scalp, then style as desired. Avoid excessive heat and products containing mineral oil, lanolin, petroleum jelly (petrolatum). You will not need a conditioner when using this system but it won't hurt anything if you add your favorite conditioner after the cleanser. Why is it important to use Loesch products one after the other as a kit rather than just a single product by itself? Because there is no single miracle product that can treat all of the causes of hair loss in one bottle. Loesch products work like a chain with sebum at one end and water at the other end. The first link attaches to the sebum just inside the follicle. The next step attaches to the first step. Then the whole chain with a little sebum attached is gently pulled out of the follicle. Do this each day and within a month, the follicle is cleaned out all the way to the bottom and new sebum is removed before it has a chance to oxidize.
