Answers to common questions about relaxers and keratin smoothing treatments.
Keratin treatments are designed to smooth and reinforce hair when applied correctly. Using professional formulas and proper aftercare minimizes damage. Overprocessing or incompatible chemical services can weaken strands, so consult our stylists for a strand test and tailored recommendations before proceeding.
Relaxer results typically last 6–12 weeks depending on hair growth, texture, and maintenance. New growth will appear at the roots requiring touch-ups. Proper home care, gentle products, and spacing between chemical services extend longevity and maintain hair health.
Yes, but timing matters. We generally recommend waiting at least two weeks after a keratin treatment before coloring, and longer if a relaxer was used. This reduces chemical interactions and protects hair integrity. Your stylist will advise the safest sequence and products.
After treatment, avoid washing for 48–72 hours for some keratin services; follow our recommended sulfate-free shampoos and heat protection. Use gentle detangling and minimal chemical processing. Regular deep-conditioning and trims help preserve results and hair health between appointments.
They can be, but caution is essential. Overlapping chemicals increases breakage risk. Our stylists perform consultations and strand tests to assess elasticity and porosity before proceeding. We may recommend alternatives or conditioning protocols to strengthen hair prior to relaxer application.
Relaxers permanently alter curl pattern for straighter hair, while keratin smoothing reduces frizz and softens texture without fully removing curls. Choice depends on desired straightness, hair health, and maintenance preferences. Book a consultation at Hiwot Studio to determine the best option.
