Typically results last 6–8 weeks depending on individual hair growth, texture, and at-home care. Proper maintenance, using your stylist’s recommended products, and scheduling regular touch-ups will keep roots smooth and prevent uneven regrowth or overprocessing.

A strand test may be recommended if your last relaxer was done elsewhere, your hair is color-treated, or there’s uncertainty about strength. It ensures product compatibility and helps avoid overprocessing, keeping your hair healthy and predictable during the touch-up.

Arrive with clean, dry hair free of heavy oils or product build-up. Avoid deep-conditioning treatments within 48 hours and bring details about prior relaxer services. This helps your stylist accurately assess regrowth and select the right formulation.

When performed by a trained professional using proper formulations and timing, touch-ups minimize additional damage. We assess hair condition before service and include strength-preserving treatments to maintain elasticity and reduce breakage risk during the process.

Appointments usually take 60–90 minutes depending on root length, density, and any extra treatments or styling. We allow time for consultation, careful application, and a restorative service to ensure a smooth, healthy finish.

Coloring immediately after a relaxer is not recommended; we typically advise waiting at least two weeks depending on hair condition. Your stylist will assess strength and recommend timing to avoid excess stress or suggest combined services when appropriate.
