Get answers to common questions about Straightener (Relaxer).

Results are permanent on treated strands, but new growth returns to your natural texture. Most clients schedule root touch-ups every three to six months depending on growth rate and desired uniformity.

It can be safe when hair is healthy and assessed first. We perform strand tests and may recommend waiting, bond-repair additives, or tailored formulations to protect color and minimize processing stress.

Home care includes sulfate-free shampoo, regular deep conditioning, and heat protection. Expect periodic protein and moisture treatments; proper maintenance keeps results sleek and reduces breakage risk between salon visits.

If applied professionally and with correct formulations, damage is minimized. Overprocessing can weaken hair, so we recommend consultations, strand tests, and bond-building treatments to protect hair integrity.

Appointment length varies by hair length, density, and prior chemical history. Typical sessions range from 90 minutes to three hours, including consultation, application, processing, neutralizing, and styling.

Combining services is possible but requires careful timing. We often space or sequence color and relaxer to protect hair health. A consultation determines the safest plan and any required waiting periods.
