ISO's exclusive, patented, thio-free formula utilizes Isoamine, a naturally derived waving agent. Isoamine penetrates more deeply and evenly into the hair than conventional waving agents without aggressively lifting the cuticle. Since the internal structure and integrity of the hair is not disrupted, there is no need for conditioning additives that can hinder the perming process. The result is resilient curls and healthy hair. 

Option 1 is designed for:

Normal and previously permed hair
Fine to medium texture
Normal to moderately porous previously permed hair
Easy to wave hair, shorter lengths

Experience the benefits of ISO Option 1:

Towel blot thoroughly before neutralizing.
Neutralize for a full 5 minutes.
Rinse on the rod for a minimum of 3-5 minutes; drop out rods and rinse for an additional 2 minutes with warmer than normal water.

KEY INGREDIENTS:
Isoamine, Chlorophyll

How does ISOamine work?
The hair's cuticle layer is negatively charged. Thio, the compound found in many traditional perms, is also negatively charged; therefore, when using a conventional perming system, the hair shaft rejects or repels, forcibly lifting the cuticle to allow penetration of the hair. In contrast, ISO Option Waves utilizes ISOamine, a positively charged compound that is attracted to the hair, thus allowing it to penetrate gently without damaging the cuticle. By penetrating deeper and more evenly than thio, ISOamine waves yield excellent curl results with minimal damage to the cuticle.

Do ISO Option Waves have a strong odor?
ISO Pre-Wrap, included in every box of Option 1, Option 2, and Option 3, is formulated with chlorophyll, the green pigment present in all green plants and algae that makes photosynthesis possible. As a natural deodorizer, it has a unique molecular composition that allows it to penetrate the hair shaft and absorb and reduce the odor released during the waving process.

Note: Chlorophyll has a green tint to it that will rinse completely from the hair.
