Yes, a chemical relaxer permanently alters the hair's protein structure to straighten curls. New growth will retain your natural texture; touch-ups are needed to maintain a uniform look. Our stylist will explain expectations and aftercare during consultation.

Safety depends on prior treatments and hair condition. We require an in-salon consultation and strand test for color-treated or previously relaxed hair to assess elasticity and porosity. If not suitable, we’ll recommend gentler alternatives to protect hair integrity.

Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos, deep conditioning weekly, and avoid excessive heat for several weeks. Schedule regular trims, and apply recommended protein and moisturizing treatments. Follow our aftercare plan to extend straightness and minimize breakage; call if you notice irritation or unexpected damage.

Touch-up frequency varies, typically every 8 to 12 weeks depending on growth rate and desired uniformity. Delaying too long increases risk of uneven texture and breakage. During your visit, we’ll recommend a personalized schedule based on your hair's growth and condition.

Chemical relaxers carry risk if hair is weak or previously over-processed. We minimize damage through consultation, strand tests, customized formulas, controlled processing times, and professional neutralization. Post-service conditioning and salon-recommended treatments further protect strands and restore moisture and protein balance.
