Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Relaxer - Short.

A Relaxer - Short appointment typically takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on hair density, underlying texture, and any consultation or trimming required. We allocate time for application, processing, neutralizing, and a professional blow-dry and styling.

Yes when performed by our trained stylists. We assess previous chemical history, condition, and elasticity before choosing the appropriate formula. Bond-protecting options and strand tests reduce risk to keep short chemically-treated hair healthy and strong.

Most clients schedule touch-ups every 6 to 10 weeks depending on growth rate and hair health. Our stylists will recommend a timing plan that preserves integrity while keeping roots smooth and the short style consistent between full applications.

Use sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoos and protein-balanced conditioners. Avoid heat styling for a few days, apply recommended leave-in treatments, and book regular trims. Follow stylist homecare advice to maintain straightness and protect short hair from breakage.

Absolutely. We tailor formula strength and processing time to your curl pattern, density, and desired outcome. Consultations determine whether a full relaxer suits your goals or if alternative smoothing treatments would better preserve texture while reducing frizz.

A relaxer alters texture by loosening curl pattern but doesn’t permanently remove natural density. With proper technique we minimize breakage and avoid over-processed sections. Maintain strength with protein and moisturizer routines to preserve perceived thickness and fullness.
