Before the treatment begins, the practitioner will explain everything you should expect before, during, and after the procedure. You will need to follow instructions if you want to get good results. You will need to pluck or shave your hair 48 hours before the treatment. However, this is not a requirement for all SMP hair treatments. Before the procedure starts, you should ensure that you have had a proper meal. You are allowed to bring snacks and drinks with you. You can also distract yourself by watching movies or listening to music during the procedure.
