OPAWZ HAIR LIGHTENING CREAM 3.5oz

OPAWZ Lightening Cream, unlike lightening powders, is gentler on hair and scalp due to the more nutritious composition. Rich in nutrient oils, which are milder than traditional bleaching powder and can help prevent the hair from drying out and breaking when lightening. Suitable for healthy adult dogs and horses. Ensures that moisture loss is prevented. Gentle on the hair and scalp and reduces hair breakage.

Cannot be used on elderly or pregnant pets. Cannot be used on cats or small animals. Recommended to use 1-2 weeks prior to dyeing. The color will only lift dark hair to brown or light blond, not white, so light color dyes are not recommended for use after lightening as they will not show up.

FOR PROFESSIONAL CREATIVE GROOMER USE ONLY. Recommended for use by individuals with years of creative grooming experience. Always check the skin’s health before use. If used incorrectly, the product may have a higher risk of allergic reactions or burns on the skin. Read the instructions carefully.  

Ingredients: Paraffinum Liquidum, Mineral Oil, Potassium Persulfate, Sodium Silicate, Ammonium Persulfate, Xanthan Gum, Tetrasodium EDTA, Ultramarine, Menthol, Argan Oil.

CAUTION

• Cannot be used for pets that have damaged, inflamed, or sensitive skin. Be especially careful to not let product touch the skin on ears, tail, or spine, keep 1/2 inch (1 cm) away from the roots - these areas secrete more oils and may be prone to develop skin problems if not well maintained. The spine may also be more sensitive due to frequent exposure to high temperatures from the use of clippers.  
• Do not contact with eyes and mouth. If it happens, rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes. The product contains hydrogen peroxide, and pets may vomit if swallowed by mistake. Veterinarians often use hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting on pets who swallow by mistake.
• Do not use any wraps or apply heat. Observe the pet’s reactions during use. If there is scratching or other signs of discomfort, stop using immediately, and rinse with water at about 25℃. Excessive water temperature may cause pets to feel discomfort with skin.
• Do not apply color dye right after lightening. The suggested interval between lightening and coloring is 1-2 weeks. The possible residual grease/oil from lightening will affect the coloring result. This also gives the pet more time to rest.
• Not recommended for use on large areas.
• Not recommended for use multiple times a year. 

PRE-TEST

Always do a pre-test 48 hours prior to application. Do not bathe pets in advance.

• Double-check to make sure that there is no damage, redness, and/or swelling on the skin of the areas that will be lightened.

• Apply test patch to areas, making sure to touch the hair roots and let the mixture sit for 30 minutes (do not touch the roots when doing the actual lightening). If the pet does not experience any discomfort, the normal lightening process can proceed.

USAGE
