To fill the Montibello Hop Steam Machine with water:

1. Place the steamer on a flat, even surface.
2. Fill the water tank using a measuring cup. It is better to use distilled water for this to prevent the accumulation of minerals. Do not fill the water tank above the maximum level.
3. Close the lid of the water tank.

 

To use the steamer:

1. Firstly, remove any hair accessory that is not needed before switching on the steamer.
2. Next, plug the steamer into a socket and switch it on. The heat indicator should light up when the device is on. After about 60 seconds, it should start to produce steam.
3. When the device begins producing steam, point the nozzle towards the area of hair you intend to use it on. Keep the steam flowing in the direction of this area. Move backwards and forwards slightly to optimise the steaming process.

Here is how to conduct the ideal luxury hair wellness ritual in your salon with Montibello Hop Recharge:

1. Firstly, wash the hair with Montibello Hop shampoo, with the type of shampoo depending on your client's hair needs. Then rinse the shampoo out and remove excess water with a towel.
2. Mix 4 pumps of the most suitable Intensifier (either for fine to medium hair or for medium to coarse hair) with 1 pump of the most suitable Recharge Concentrate for your client (either Strengthening, Colour or Smoothing) using the applicator bottle. Then shake the applicator bottle to mix them well. The applicator bottle makes easier to apply and spread the mixture evenly.
3. Next, apply the mixture to the hair section by section from root to tip, focusing on the areas which need the treatment the most.
4. Once you have done that, massage the treatment into the hair using your fingers and palms. This action allows the mixture to penetrate the strands. Then comb the hair to distribute the treatment more evenly.
5. Next, activate the treatment using the steamer to ensure that the active ingredients penetrate the hair deeply, and to provide an immersive wellness experience for the client. Finally, apply the steam to the hair while leaving the treatment to work between 7 and 10 minutes before rinsing it out.
