The treatment fades out over a period of 10-12 weeks depending on lifestyle, maintenance and provided the client follows all after care instructions. Multiple treatments will impact the longevity and smoothness of the hair.
Should the hair be cut before or after the treatment?
We recommend that the hair be cut after the treatment, as the hair will elongate and the ends will be uneven.
