Most of the time yes, with a thorough consultation and strand test. Color condition and prior chemical history determine timing and technique. We adjust formulas and processing accordingly, recommend conditioning treatments, and postpone if hair shows significant damage to protect integrity.

Results commonly last eight to twelve weeks before new growth appears, though longevity varies with hair texture, growth rate, and home care. Using sulfate-free shampoos, deep conditioning, and gentle heat styling extends smoothness and reduces frizz between salon visits.

A thorough consultation and strand test are required. If hair shows signs of over-processing or extensive breakage, we may recommend rebuilding treatments or delay the relaxer. Our stylists adjust strength, timing, and offer bonding and deep-conditioning to minimize risk and preserve hair health.

Come with clean, dry hair and avoid heavy oils or recent protein treatments. Bring information about previous chemical services and color. If you have extensions or braids, mention them beforehand so we can tailor the application and ensure proper, safe processing.

Use sulfate-free shampoo and hydrating conditioners, avoid shampooing for forty-eight to seventy-two hours post-service, and apply weekly deep-conditioning and protein treatments as recommended. Minimize heat styling, use heat protectant, and schedule regular trims and touch-up appointments to maintain hair health and smoothness.

Generally wait at least two weeks before permanent color, though timing depends on hair condition and previous chemical history. We perform a consultation and strand test to choose appropriate dyes and techniques; sometimes semi-permanent toners or glosses can be applied sooner with caution.
