Expert’s advice on relaxing & retouching your hair

When retouching your hair, it is advisable to choose a hair relaxer that is gentle on your hair and scalp. Relaxers may come in regular or super strength. Understanding the texture, porosity and overall condition of your hair before choosing a relaxer will help you in selecting the proper relaxer strength for your hair.

What to know before relaxing your hair

• Read product direction before use.
• Do not use permanent hair color 2 weeks before and after relaxing your hair.>
• Wash and Deep Condition – This will help to improve the hair condition and optimally prepare the hair for healthy relaxer application service. Note: this should be done within one or two weeks prior to relaxing.
• Avoid scratching or irritating the scalp – Scratching the scalp can lead to sores and scalp abrasions which may cause scalp burns and severe irritation while relaxing.

Good to Know?

• Don’t apply to previously relaxed hair (Apply relaxer to new growth only in case of retouch).
• Ensure your stylist does a strand test. Ensure your stylist applies barrier crème to hairline, the nape area and any known sensitive area.
• Ensure your stylist part your hair into four equal sections.
• Ensure your stylist does not apply relaxer directly to the scalp.
• Ensure your stylist rinse hair thoroughly until hair is free from all traces of relaxer, then shampoo  with Natures Gentle Touch Silky Neutralizing Shampoo.

After Relaxing the Hair

• Shampoo and deep condition again 3-7 days after chemical application to help restore the hair to its optimal condition. Also moisturize  regularly  to prevent dryness.
• Do not fix or braid your hair for at least 2 weeks after chemical application. As your hair is still too fragile and cannot withstand tension caused by fixing or braids. Contrary to this may lead to hair breakage.
