Most hair types with natural curl respond well, especially unprocessed hair. A stylist consultation assesses damage, previous chemical history, and porosity to determine safety and realistic results. Strongly avoid if hair is severely compromised or recently relaxed, bleaching requires caution.

Results commonly last six months to a year depending on hair growth, texture, and aftercare. Use sulfate-free products, limit heat styling, and follow salon-recommended treatments to extend longevity. Touch-ups are commonly needed for new growth.

Colored or bleached hair can be more vulnerable; we evaluate porosity and history before proceeding. A strand test and bond-repair treatments may be required to reduce risk. In some cases we recommend waiting or choosing gentler alternatives to preserve hair integrity.

Appointments usually take two to four hours depending on hair length, density, and previous treatments. The process includes consultation, application, processing, and styling. Arrive with clean, unproducted hair unless instructed otherwise to ensure accurate assessment and optimal results.

Wait 48–72 hours before washing or tying hair to allow bonds to set, if advised by stylist. Use sulfate-free shampoo, hydrating conditioner, and limit vigorous heat tools. Attend recommended trims and salon treatments to maintain smoothness and prolong results.

Yes, but timing matters. Wait at least two weeks after the straightening procedure before coloring to reduce overlapping chemical stress. Your stylist will recommend safe spacing, strand tests, and compatible color formulas or bond-repair treatments to protect hair health and preserve results.
