How to prepare the fronds for treatment

Rehydration protocol:

1. Place fronds in a bowl of warm water
2. Allow to rehydrate for 5-10 minutes
3. The fronds will soften and become pliable
4. They’ll expand slightly and release their marine compounds into the water
5. Remove when soft and flexible — ready for application
6. The soaking water can be used in treatment as well (foot baths, compresses)

Pro tips for preparation:

• Warm water speeds rehydration; cool water works but takes longer
• Don’t over-soak — 10 minutes is usually sufficient
• Prepare fronds while client is in another treatment step (during mask time, etc.)
• The seaweed scent during rehydration is authentic ocean — clients love it
• Keep a dedicated bowl for frond preparation
