L'Oréal Professionnel X-Tenso Moisturist Permanent Hair Straightening Kit (EX – Extra Resistant) is a professional salon-grade rebonding system designed for very resistant, coarse, thick, and natural virgin hair. It delivers long-lasting straightening results by restructuring the internal bonds of the hair. This is a two-step chemical system used for permanent thermal straightening: Pouch 1 (Smoothing Cream – EX): Softens and breaks the natural disulfide bonds in the hair, allowing it to be reshaped into a straight structure.
