Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Permanent Straightening.
Results vary by hair type and care routine but generally last six to twelve months. New growth appears at the roots; we recommend touch-up appointments every four to six months to maintain uniform straightness and hair health.
Yes in most cases — but it depends on hair condition. We perform a thorough consultation and strand test to assess porosity and previous processing. If needed, we recommend strengthening treatments and adjusted formulas to protect integrity and achieve desired results.
Arrive with clean, dry hair free of heavy styling products. Avoid coloring, bleaching, or deep-conditioning treatments for at least two weeks prior. Bring notes on past chemical services; this helps your stylist choose the safest formula and timing for optimal results.
Avoid washing or tying hair for 48 to 72 hours. Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and hydrating conditioners. Limit heat styling; apply thermal protectant when needed. Schedule periodic moisturizing treatments and trims to preserve smoothness and prevent split ends.
Chemical straightening involves processing, which can cause damage if hair is compromised. At Lux Image Salon we assess condition, use professional formulas, and recommend rebuilding treatments when necessary. Proper aftercare and spacing between services significantly reduce long-term risk.
Appointments usually run two to four hours depending on hair length, thickness, and previous chemical history. Time includes consultation, application, processing, rinsing, neutralizing, and styling. Your stylist will provide a more accurate estimate during the consultation.
