What service is typically performed after a relaxer?

After a relaxer, a deep conditioning treatment is typically performed to restore moisture and manageability to the hair. Relaxers chemically alter the structure of the hair to make it straighter, which can leave the hair dry and vulnerable to damage. By following up with a deep conditioning treatment, the stylist helps nourish the hair, replenish lost moisture, and reduce the risk of breakage.

While other services like haircuts or color treatments might occur after a relaxer, they do not specifically address the immediate need for moisture and repair that arises from the chemical process. A scalp massage does provide relaxation and circulation benefits but does not directly treat the hair's condition post-relaxer. Therefore, deep conditioning is essential in ensuring the hair remains healthy and resilient following a relaxing service.
