Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Relaxer - Touch-Up.

Most clients schedule a touch-up every 6 to 8 weeks depending on growth rate and hair texture. Your stylist will assess regrowth and recommend timing to maintain sleekness while protecting previously relaxed lengths.

When applied correctly, the touch-up targets only new growth to avoid overlapping on previously relaxed ends. Our stylists perform careful sectioning and protective treatments to minimize risk and maintain hair health.

Appointments generally take 60 to 90 minutes, including consultation, precise application, processing, and a finishing rinse and style. Timing varies by hair length, texture, and any additional treatments requested.

Color timing depends on your hair history. We usually recommend waiting at least two weeks after coloring before a touch-up, or waiting one to two weeks after a touch-up before coloring. Consult with your stylist for a personalized plan.

Use sulfate-free shampoos and moisturizing conditioners, avoid intense heat styling for 48 hours, and incorporate weekly deep-conditioning treatments. Regular trims and recommended salon products help preserve results and hair strength.

A strand test may be recommended for clients with previous chemical services, porous or compromised hair, or uncertain processing history. It helps determine safe timing and product choice to prevent over-processing.
