Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Body Wave (Consultation Required) - Long Hair.

Your stylist will evaluate hair strength, porosity, previous chemical services, and styling goals. They'll discuss wave size, timing, and recommended pre- and post-care. The consultation determines if a body wave is safe and which approach will deliver the healthiest, best-looking results.

Typically results last three to six months depending on hair growth, porosity, and aftercare. Regular trims and recommended conditioning treatments extend tone and elasticity. We'll advise maintenance timing during consultation to match your hair's unique characteristics and lifestyle.

We assess existing chemical work during consultation; if hair is too compromised we'll recommend strengthening or alternative services first. When appropriate, we use gentle solutions, protective treatments, and careful timing to minimize damage while achieving beautiful waves.

Use sulfate-free shampoo, deep-condition weekly, and avoid daily heat styling. Sleep on a silk pillowcase and refresh waves with lightweight curl creams or mousse. We'll provide a customized homecare regimen and product recommendations during your appointment.

Timing between color and a body wave matters. We typically recommend spacing chemical color and perm services by at least two weeks, sometimes longer. Your consultation will establish a safe timeline and sequence to protect hair integrity and ensure optimal results.

Appointments vary from two to four hours depending on length, thickness, and the chosen wave pattern. Consultations and treatments like deep conditioning may extend time. We'll provide an accurate time estimate when we evaluate your hair and goals.
