We typically recommend waiting 6 to 8 weeks between relaxer applications to maintain hair health and prevent over-processing. During consultation our stylists assess hair condition and may adjust timing based on growth rate, texture, and previous chemical history to ensure safety.

When performed by trained professionals using tailored formulas, retouches minimize damage. We evaluate porosity and strength, apply protective treatments, and avoid overlapping on previously relaxed lengths to reduce breakage and preserve hair integrity.

Appointments generally last 90 to 120 minutes depending on hair length, density, and any additional treatments. We include consultation, protective treatments, application, processing time, and a finishing service to ensure polished, long-lasting results.
