If you love the sleek, polished look of relaxed hair, maintaining a healthy routine is key. One of the most common questions we get at Nadia Vassell Salon is: How often should I relax my hair?
How Often Should You Get a Relaxer?
We recommend getting a relaxer every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain your hair’s smooth texture while keeping it strong and healthy. However, some people prefer to stretch their relaxers to 10 to 12 weeks or longer, which is perfectly fine if your hair remains manageable and healthy in between treatments.
The timing largely depends on your hair’s growth rate, texture, and overall health. If you relax your hair too soon, you risk over-processing and weakening your strands. If you wait too long, excessive new growth can lead to breakage and make styling more difficult.
Why Professional Application Matters
Relaxers contain strong chemicals that break down the natural curl pattern of your hair, so they must be applied with precision and care. At Nadia Vassell Salon, we use the Affirm Fiberguard Relaxer, a high-quality formula designed to straighten while preserving the hair’s strength and elasticity. Our expert stylists ensure that your relaxer is applied only to new growth, preventing unnecessary damage to previously processed hair.
Signs It’s Time for a Relaxer Touch-Up
You have at least 1 to 2 inches of new growth.
Styling has become more challenging due to the difference in texture.
Your hair starts to tangle or break at the line of demarcation (where relaxed and natural hair meet).
You want a refreshed, sleek look with added manageability.
