inverse does not replace your hair styler and will not straighten your hair. inverse is a hair conditioning system that harnesses the power of ice. It locks in moisture, keeping hair irresistibly healthy while making it soft and smooth with great shine and definition. In time, you may lessen the use of your stylers, due to your hair being easier to manage.

inverse is not an electrical device - it's cordless. So you can use your system anytime, anywhere.

Your hands will not get cold when using inverse. The ice cores sit within a body, which will protect your hands from the sub-zero temperatures when conditioning your hair.

On average, it will take 2-4 hours for your ice cores to freeze. They can stay in the freezer for as long as you need.

On average, you will have around 15 minutes before needing to freeze the ice cores again. It takes 5-10 minutes to use inverse depending on your hair type, but with practice you will get quicker.

The ice cores are easy to slide in and out of the handle, so we recommend putting them in the freezer without the handle or bag. However, if you decide to put the whole system in, it will not damage the product. It may just take longer to freeze.

ice mist is the inverse hair conditioning system’s best friend. It works alongside to naturally prepare your hair for inverse conditioning. The specific pH levels will help achieve the best conditioning result, resulting in soft, shiny and silky hair.

inverse is not a straightener, so clamping down hard isn’t the right way to go. Instead, lightly glide inverse through sections of your hair a few times, instead of once and slowly. Watch the demo here.

There are a few of things that you can do to help avoid this happening. Grab your Ice Cores out of the freezer and leave out for 2-3 minutes before use.
Technique is also key. Unlike your straighteners, you don’t need to clamp down too hard when gliding inverse though your hair. If you do this quickly and more often you can avoid your hair sticking all together.
