Question: Why shouldn't the product be applied to the scalp or roots?
Answer:
Because it will penetrate the pores causing deoxidization at the roots.
In the combing process, the scalp will bear the force and new growth
will be pulled out of the pores. This type of hair is easy to bend or
break at the roots and it is also difficult to create a natural look.
In rare cases, people with alkali sensitivity will react with a rash.
