FAQs
Is this product safe for all hair types?
The Lusters Shortlooks Color Relaxer is formulated as one strength for all hair types. However, results can vary, and a strand test is highly recommended to determine the correct processing time for your specific hair texture and condition.
Can I use this if my hair is already colored?
This product is not recommended for use on hair that is already colored, bleached, or chemically treated, as it may cause damage or unpredictable color results.
How long should I leave the product on my hair?
The processing time varies depending on your hair type and texture. Always perform a strand test according to the product instructions to determine the optimal time, typically between 5 to 15 minutes.
Does this product contain ammonia or peroxide?
No, this product is formulated without peroxide and ammonia, making it a gentler option for your hair and scalp.
Will this product stain my scalp?
No, the formula is designed specifically to avoid staining the scalp, ensuring a clean application and finish.
How often can I use this color relaxer?
It is generally recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks between relaxer applications to allow hair and scalp to recover. Over-application can lead to hair breakage and scalp damage.
What should I do after rinsing the relaxer?
After rinsing thoroughly, you must use a neutralizing shampoo to stop the relaxing process and restore the hair's natural pH. Follow with a deep conditioner to replenish moisture and add shine.
Troubleshooting
Hair not straight enough after application.
Ensure the product was left on for the recommended time determined by the strand test. Natural hair textures may require the maximum recommended processing time. Re-application is not advised without consulting a professional.
Uneven color application or patchy results.
This often occurs due to improper application technique. Ensure the product is applied evenly and quickly to all strands, working in small sections. Rinsing thoroughly and conditioning well post-application can also help.
Scalp irritation or burning sensation.
This can indicate a sensitivity to ingredients or over-processing. Rinse immediately with cool water and use a neutralizing shampoo. Avoid future use if irritation persists. Ensure scalp was protected and not scratched prior to application.
Hair feels overly dry or brittle after use.
Use a deep conditioning treatment immediately after rinsing and neutralizing. Regular deep conditioning treatments and avoiding heat styling for the first week will help restore moisture.
