Yes — when performed by our trained stylists, the Virgin Relaxer is safe for most natural hair types. We assess hair condition, use gentle formulas, and follow timing protocols to minimize damage. A strand test may be recommended before full application.

Expect 2 to 3 hours depending on hair length, thickness, and any additional services like deep conditioning or precision trimming. We schedule time for consultation, careful application, processing, and post-treatment care to ensure safe, consistent results.

Yes. Chemical relaxers permanently alter the hair's structure; treated strands remain relaxed until new growth emerges. Regular touch-ups are required for the root area. We discuss long-term maintenance and alternatives during consultation to match your styling goals and hair health.

Arrive with clean, dry hair free of heavy oils and product buildup. Avoid chemical treatments for at least four weeks, and disclose recent coloring or damage. Follow our pre-service instructions so we can assess hair health and choose the best relaxer formula.

Use sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoos and rich conditioners. Avoid heat styling for at least a week, and apply leave-in treatments to maintain moisture. Schedule regular trims and protein treatments as recommended to protect relaxed hair and prevent breakage.

We generally advise spacing chemical services. Coloring during a relaxer can increase risk of damage. Tell us about recent dyes; we may recommend separate appointments or gentle color techniques after assessing hair porosity and condition to safeguard hair integrity.
