Get answers to common questions about Thermal Straightener.

Results usually last up to six full months on virgin hair, though durability depends on hair texture, maintenance, and chemical history. Regular trims and sulfate-free products extend longevity; touch-ups recommended when significant new growth appears.

Thermal straightening favors virgin hair but can be performed on colored or processed hair after a thorough consultation and strand test. We assess porosity and breakage risk, adjust formulas, and may recommend conditioning treatments to protect integrity before proceeding.

Appointments vary by hair length, density, and condition but typically take between two and four hours, including consultation, application, processing, rinsing, and styling. Longer or more damaged hair may require additional time for safe, effective results.

Avoid washing or tying hair for the first 48–72 hours, then use sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoos and conditioners. Deep-condition regularly, apply heat protectant for styling, and schedule touch-ups as needed. Protect hair from chlorine and excessive sun to preserve straightness.

Because Thermal Straightener works best on virgin hair, we recommend separating coloring and straightening appointments. Ideally wait at least two weeks between processes, or perform a professional consultation and strand test to sequence services safely and reduce damage risk.

Any chemical straightening carries risk of damage if improperly applied. Our stylists assess hair health, adjust formulas, and recommend treatments to minimize breakage. With proper application, professional care, and at-home maintenance, many clients achieve smooth results without significant long-term damage.
