Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Relaxer Touch Up.

Most clients schedule touch-ups every six to ten weeks depending on growth rate, hair texture, and desired sleekness. At Hair by Tiana your stylist will assess regrowth and recommend a personalized timeline to prevent over-processing and maintain healthy hair.

When performed by a trained stylist and timed correctly, a Relaxer Touch Up minimizes damage. We avoid overlapping relaxed hair, use professional products, and perform strand assessments to protect integrity, elasticity, and long-term health of your hair.

Coloring and relaxers both affect hair chemistry. We typically recommend scheduling color services two weeks before or after a Relaxer Touch Up, or conducting a consultation and strand test to determine safe timing and product choices to reduce risk of breakage or uneven processing.

A typical Relaxer Touch Up appointment takes about forty-five to ninety minutes depending on hair length, thickness, and any add-on services like deep conditioning or blowout. Your stylist will provide an estimated time during booking so you can plan accordingly.

Aftercare includes waiting forty-eight to seventy-two hours before washing, using sulfate-free shampoos, and deep conditioning weekly. Minimize heat styling, apply recommended oils or serums to lock in moisture, and book regular trims and touch-ups to maintain smooth, healthy hair.

Strand tests are recommended when clients have previous chemical services, unknown product history, or fragile hair. We perform a quick assessment and patch test as needed to choose the safest formula and processing time, reducing risk of damage or unexpected results.
