FAQ's
How is ‘QiQi Hair Relaxant’ different from other straightening/smoothing treatments?
QiQi Hair Relaxant’s proprietary formula uses an organic acid that penetrates the cortex of the hair, softening the disulfide bonds gently without damage unlike older thio-based straighteners and relaxers that break the disulfide bonds and create damage in the hair fiber, while keratin treatments put a temporary coating on the outside layer of the hair and do not affect the disulfide bond, creating a temporary effect.
Is ‘QiQi Hair Relaxant’ a permanent treatment?
Some QiQi Hair Relaxant services can create permanent changes to the structure of the hair. Clients can expect a soft line of demarcation from the regrowth. However, this is only if the hair is healthy enough to absorb the treatment and tolerate high temperatures. Hair that is excessively damaged and cannot tolerate high temperatures, may see results last up to 4 months.
Who is not a candidate for ‘QiQi Hair Relaxant’?
QiQi Hair Relaxant is safe for all hair types and chemically treated hair and will not cause additional damage. However, there are some instances where we do not advise using QiQi Hair Relaxant.
