Usually it is best to wait at least 14 days. Relaxing the hair is such a harsh chemical reaction that the hair is easily damaged. Waiting 14 days will help prevent breakage. It is also important to do a strand test each and every time you use a relaxer or a hair color, as Allergies can literally develop overnight. Typically do the strand test 2 days in advance to ensure that you aren't going to have immediate symptoms such as respiratory difficulty or symptoms over time such as a rash. Some hair colors and relaxers will vary. Check the insert that comes with home kits or check online for the product information that you plan on using.

How long should you wait to relax your hair after a relaxer that did not take?

I recommend waiting 45 to 60 days. This is so you won't overlap the relaxer. Try using a lesser strength. Such as mild or regular and use a professional recommended relaxer. Apply vaseline and or hair grease to your scalp this time.


Does a hair relaxer make your hair fall out?

Relaxers should not make your hair fall out if applied properly. Relaxing your hair should be a quick process and only applied to your new growth. After applying your relaxer you should proceed to shampoo your hair using a neutralizer that will lock your hair into it's straight shape. (Repeat until the water runs clear and your shampoo has no pink color to it. Condition your hair and make sure to keep your scalp moisturized.


Is it okay to color hair then relax?

Not if it is permanent. If you are using semipermanent it would be ok but you really dont want to use harsh chemicals after harsh chemicals and you deff dont want to bleach your hair right after you do a relaxer. Your hair will fall off if you do that. I have seen plenty of customers almost in tears because they tried to do this on theirselves at home and wanted me to fix it. Try not to process your hair too much. Make sure to use deep conditioning treatments after harsh chemical services.

Does regular shampoo work on your hair after a relaxer?

No. You need to purchase a neutralizing shampoo which are designed to stop the relaxer from processing. You also may need to consider using the same brand of neutralizing shampoo that was made by the relaxer manufacturer. If not any neutralizing shampoo should help but it is recommended that you use the same brand of products for chemical services.

How many days or months does it take to stop using relaxers until you have you natural hair back?

Your natural hair won't be considered your natural hair if you are constantly using a relaxer. As your hair grow with the non-use of a relaxer, your natural hair will start to grow. It can take months to maybe even years after you stop using the relaxer. You will notice the different, as it may be more kinky.

Can you use a relaxer on gel hair?

Yes you can apply relaxer to new growth if your hair has gel in it. If you used a hard gel normally your hair will be hard. Try parting your hair using your hands on four sections. Then apply the relaxer to new growth only, once the relaxer is applied it makes the gel in your hair softer by breaking it down. After applied evenly you can use a comb to smooth the rest of the relaxer process, going back through making sure you applied the relaxer evenly. Hair gel is also used as a base or can be used as a base as most hair gel such as ampro is protein.


Considering what a relaxer does and what WEN is supposed to do....is it okay to use the WEN haircare system without a relaxer ever being used on your hair again?

Yes. Wen works fine with natural or relaxed hair. My personal experience using the Organic Root Stimulator relaxer (at home) with Wen is that the straightening effect does not seem to last as long.
