What type of tools, "Rods-Rollers" etc. can be used, and what about tension?

What type of texture does Re4mer give?
Texture that is in harmony with today's styles. Unconventional would best describe the latest trend and techniques for today's hair designs. The look for new texture is aggressive, bold with an attitude, not your pristine curl of the past. A texture balance is needed for today's style designs. Texture that is modern, asymmetrical, flowing, loose and unconventional are words to describe Re4mer Texture Enhancer.

Is there any special processing techniques to do a Re4mer texture enhancer?
No. Depending on the type of tool and technique used, a buckling effect will appear, when unrolling hair that has been rolled at least 1 ½ times towards the scalp (similar to traditional techniques). The buckling will cause ridges to form and group together. If no buckling or grouping appear, and hair is still ridged, continue processing, check again in 10 minutes.

Please note that processing time varies from 20-25 minutes for normal hair type. Color treated hair processing varies for 15-20 minutes. Resistant hair types can be processed under a warm dryer for at least 10-15 minutes if necessary after initial processing time.
