Caring for relaxed hair

Relaxed hair needs steady care between salon visits.

  • Leave touch-ups to the new growth. Relaxer should only go on new growth. Putting it over hair that is already relaxed can cause breakage.
  • Follow the timings. Use the product exactly as the instructions say, and do the strand test first. A trained stylist is the safest choice.
  • Balance moisture and strength. Use a moisturising conditioner every wash, and a strengthening treatment as the pack directs.
  • Go easy on heat. Use a heat protector and the lowest setting that works.
  • Wrap at night. A satin scarf or bonnet keeps hair smooth and cuts down breakage.

Shop conditioners and bonnets and sleep caps.

Before you go

A quick checklist for salon and barber visits.

Salon or braider

  • Ask what hair to bring: brand, length, colour and number of packs.
  • Ask whether to arrive with hair washed, detangled and blow-dried.
  • Check the price, the deposit and how long it will take.
  • Say straight away if anything feels too tight.

Barber

  • Take a photo of the cut you want.
  • Keep hair and scalp moisturised between cuts.
  • If you get razor bumps, ask about a bump treatment.

Shop men's grooming.
