Just wash out the chemicals, you should be fine. Just don't go swimming after the relaxer because it is bad for your hair.
it really does not matter,it all does the same damage no matter what
One to two days
Swimmers with long hair can protect and maintain their hair by wearing a swim cap, wetting their hair with clean water before swimming, using a leave-in conditioner, and rinsing their hair with fresh water after swimming. Additionally, it is important to avoid using harsh chemicals on the hair and to gently detangle it with a wide-tooth comb.
At least 3 days but just to be on the safe side I would wait 6-7 days
He likes to relax after a long hard day of swim.
If you have long hair, my best advice would be to pull your hair in a pony tail or a bun. That's what I do when I go swimming. Plus, you could always use a swimming cap. But those things like to pull hair when you take them off.
A silicone swim cap with extra room for long hair is the best option to keep it dry and protected while swimming.
Silicone or Lycra swim caps are the best options for long hair as they provide a snug fit, reduce drag, and protect hair from chlorine damage. Look for caps with extra room for long hair or those specifically designed for long hair to ensure comfort and effectiveness while swimming.
You should really color your hair AFTER getting a relaxer because if you color then relax the color will fade. You should wait 2 weeks before you color your hair after getting a relaxer so I assume this means you have to wait 2 weeks before you relax after coloring. Next time stick with sem-permanent so your hair won't get as damaged. Dark and lovely is a good brand to use to color your hair after a relaxer. You can even do it on the same day it lasts thru 12 washes and I doubt you wash your hair everyday since its relaxed so if you wash every other day then it should last you about a month. If you wash once a week then it should last you 3 months not only that its also semi-permanent. It has NO peroxide & ammonia. You can get it at walmart in the ehitic hair isle. Hope I helped.
If I were you I would wait at least 3-5 days.
they should relax after a long day and just get comfortable.
Long hair should be tied back when working in the laboratory
