Get answers to common questions about Relaxer Retouch.

We recommend retouching every six to eight weeks depending on your natural growth rate, hair condition, and styling needs. Our stylists evaluate breakage risk and will adjust timing to protect previously relaxed ends while keeping hair healthy and manageable.

When performed correctly by our trained stylists, a retouch should not damage relaxed ends. We avoid overlapping chemicals on treated lengths, choose suitable formulas, and monitor processing times to minimize breakage while restoring smoothness and strength.

Yes, but color-treated hair requires extra evaluation. Our stylists assess porosity and color history to select compatible relaxer formulas and processing times. In some cases we recommend a strand test or alternative timing to protect color integrity and hair health.

Expect 45 to 90 minutes depending on hair length, density, and whether a blowout or finishing style is included. Shorter hair and no blowout are quicker; added treatments or complex styling will extend appointment time.

Use sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, avoid tight hairstyles for 48 hours, minimize heat for several days, and apply leave-in conditioners or heat protectants. Schedule deep-conditioning treatments to maintain strength and book follow-up retouches as recommended.

Yes, many clients pair retouches with services like conditioning treatments, glosses, or blowouts. We recommend consulting your stylist during booking to confirm timing, compatibility, and pricing so we can safely coordinate services without compromising hair health.
