Read the ingredient list on the bottle. Look for sulfates, parabens, or harsh alcohols. These dry out your ends. Ask if the brand matches your hair type. Curly hair needs moisture. Straight hair needs volume. Wrong ingredients cause frizz within 48 hours. Check for vegan or cruelty-free options too.
Fresh tint lasts 4 to 6 weeks before fading. Semi-permanent color washes out in 5 to 8 washes. Permanent tone requires reapplication every 4 to 6 weeks to cover roots. Your stylist explains pigment depth. Lighter shades fade faster. Ensure the product grade matches your goal. Budget for reapplication every 4 to 6 weeks.
If your hair snaps, cancel perms or bleaching now. Weak strands take years to grow back. Focus on conditioning first. Bond repair masks reduce future damage. Use them 2 times per week during recovery. You might notice improvement after 3 to 4 applications. Your stylist checks progress monthly. They adjust the formula based on elasticity tests you perform at home.
Some treatments increase oil production temporarily. This happens as the scalp adjusts. You might need to wash every 2 days instead of 3. Do not fear this. Use a clarifying shampoo once a week. This removes buildup. Keeping your scalp clean prevents clogged pores. Hygiene is critical here.
Root gap appears when regrowth is visible. Your stylist should color 3 mm of new growth. Too much product damages old strands. Overlapping causes brittleness. Your mid-lengths feel like straw. They snap under tension. Mention this during booking. Your stylist lowers the developer volume. This saves your cuticle layer and prevents breakage at the crown.
Ask about the heat plate settings. Most keratin smoothers work at 230 degrees Celsius. Too hot burns the cuticle. Too cold fails to lock the protein. You will see frizz return in 1 week. Request a test section first. Feel the plate temperature visually. Safe gear protects your cap.
Do not wash your hair 24 hours before coloring. Natural oils protect the scalp. Avoid product buildup for perms. Bring your brush if you cut at home. Wear dark clothing to protect fabric. Check for existing product mixes. Some serums react badly with ammonia. Mention oils used at home. This prevents foaming during application.
Ask if the treatment survives swimming or rain. Some bonds break upon water contact. Chlorine strips color and protein. If you swim, demand a waterproof sealant. Untreated hair fades faster in pools. You might need a rinse before entering the water. Skip this step and your scalp itches.
Perm rods use 9 to 12 size cylinders. Thinner rods mean 9 to 12 hour processing for weak hair. Stronger chemicals cure frizz but damage the inner shaft. Ask about neutralizer time. It should be 10 to 15 minutes. Too short means weak curls. Too long means dry brittle results. Your curtain hair should check mid-treatment.
Ask the stylist to check for itching, flaking, or redness before applying products. A sensitive scalp reacts to ammonia or peroxide quickly. You may feel burning within 5 minutes. Stop immediately if pain turns sharp. Healing takes 2 to 3 days. Ignore this and you risk infection or hair loss.
