Get answers to common questions about Relaxer.

Relaxer effects remain until new growth appears, typically 6–12 weeks depending on hair growth and maintenance. Many clients schedule touch-ups every 8–10 weeks to maintain consistent straightness while protecting previously relaxed ends from overprocessing.

A Relaxer can be safe on color-treated or previously processed hair with a professional consultation and strand test. Your stylist will assess porosity and damage, recommend timing, and adjust formula to minimize breakage. Avoid overlapping treatments to protect hair integrity.

Arrive with clean, dry hair free of heavy oils or buildup. Avoid deep-conditioning the day of service; light moisturizing two to three days prior is fine. Tell your stylist about recent chemical treatments so they can tailor the relaxer and timing.

Relaxers can cause damage if improperly applied or used on weak, over-processed hair. Our stylists perform thorough consultations, strand tests, and use professional formulas to minimize risk. Proper aftercare, spacing between treatments, and protein-moisture balance significantly reduce breakage potential.

Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and moisturizing conditioners; deep-condition weekly and apply a leave-in or oil to seal ends. Limit heat styling for two weeks, detangle carefully, and schedule trims every eight to twelve weeks to maintain healthy ends and prolong results.

A Relaxer permanently loosens natural curl on treated lengths; new growth will retain your natural pattern. You can alternate styles—blend with transitional cuts, root touch-ups, or protective styling—to manage different textures, but full curl restoration requires growth or chemical reversal processes.
