Pre-Treatment
Short Hair
DreadlocksApply Steps 1 & 2 to the first 2 inches of hair using your fingertips. Wash your hands immediately after application.

Important Safety Instructions
- Wash hair with your regular shampoo and towel-dry.
- Apply the entire bottle of BTAR Pre-Treatment (green gel). Massage it through the hair, leave it on for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
- This is a one-time process intended to remove product residue and buildup.
- Comb damp hair straight.
- Apply a small 4-inch strip of Step 1 (yellow) along the flat edge of a comb, as shown in the picture.
- Starting approximately ¼ inch away from the scalp, comb the product through the first 2 inches of hair. Avoid applying product directly to the scalp; it will absorb into the hair and move toward the base.
- Work in 4-by-4-inch sections. Begin at the back of the head on one side and work toward the front.
- Comb each section several times in all directions—right to left, left to right, up, and down. Apply fresh product to the comb for each section.
- Do not overapply. Coat only the first 2 inches of hair; do not massage the product in.
- Leave Step 1 on for 15 minutes, timed from the start of application.
- Apply Original Green Prell shampoo. Other shampoos may be used, but Prell produces the best reaction.
- Use enough shampoo to wash the first 2 inches of hair. Wash and rinse thoroughly.
- For long hair, apply any conditioner after shampooing to prevent tangling. Rinse, then comb hair straight using a wide-tooth comb.
Short Hair
- Apply Step 2 (blue) in the same manner as Step 1.
- Use the broad side of the comb so the product is applied slightly thicker.
- Step 2 contains detergent sulfides and may foam if hair is still damp.
- Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. No no need to shampoo afterward.
