Frequently asked questions

Questions & answers

What is an Afro relaxer?
An Afro relaxer is a chemical treatment that straightens Afro hair and very tightly curled hair. The result is sleek, straight and easy to style.
How long does an Afro relaxer last?
The treatment is permanent on the treated hair. As your hair grows, new growth at the roots is treated as it comes in, so the result stays even.
What's the difference between a relaxer and a keratin treatment?
A keratin treatment tames frizz and adds shine but doesn't straighten the hair, and it washes out over 3–6 months. An Afro relaxer straightens the hair and is permanent on the treated hair.
What's the difference between a relaxer and a texturizer?
A texturizer loosens and softens the curls but keeps the curl pattern. The relaxer straightens the hair completely.
Do you do relaxers on hair types other than Afro hair?
We do relaxers for Afro hair. If you want less frizz and easier styling in a different hair type, a keratin treatment is the right choice.
Why is only the new growth treated at the next treatment?
The hair that's already been treated is straight. Treating it again causes unnecessary wear, so at follow-up treatments we only work on the new growth at the roots.
How do I care for my hair after a relaxer?
Use a moisturising sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner, a hydrating mask regularly and heat protection when styling. Ideally sleep in a silk scarf or silk bonnet.
Can I combine a relaxer with extensions or a wig?
Yes. If you'd like more length or volume, our Yaki extensions match relaxed Afro hair. We'll help you find the right texture and colour.
Can I colour my hair after a relaxer?
We recommend not doing several chemical treatments at the same time. Let us know at the consultation if you're planning to colour, and we'll set up the right order.
Where do you do Afro relaxers?
At our salons at Norrtullsgatan 26A by Odenplan in Stockholm and Skolgatan 49 in Uppsala. Book directly online or start with a free consultation.

All about afro relaxers

An Afro relaxer is the treatment for you if you have Afro hair and want a sleek, straight and easy-to-manage result. The treatment straightens the hair chemically and is permanent on the treated hair. We do Afro relaxers at our salons in Stockholm by Odenplan and in Uppsala.

How an Afro relaxer works

A relaxer changes the structure of the hair so the curls are straightened. The treated hair stays straight. As your hair grows, only the new growth at the roots is treated – treating already straight hair again causes unnecessary wear. That way the result stays even over time without damaging the lengths.

Relaxer, texturizer or keratin?

If you want to keep your curls but make them softer and more manageable, a texturizer is a better fit. If you want less frizz and more shine without your hair becoming straight, a keratin treatment is the right choice – it washes out over 3–6 months and can also be done at home with Cocochoco, where Onyx is developed for dark and black hair. Keratin doesn't straighten the hair. See the full comparison of the treatments.

Before the treatment

We start by going through the condition of your hair and any previous treatments. If your hair has recently been coloured, bleached or chemically treated, we make a plan so it doesn't get too much at once. Your scalp should be healthy and free from irritation before the treatment.

Caring for relaxed Afro hair

After a relaxer your hair needs lots of moisture and protein. Use a moisturising sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner, apply a hydrating mask regularly and always use heat protection when styling. Oil the lengths for softness and protect your hair at night with a silk scarf or silk bonnet.

Extensions that match relaxed Afro hair

If you'd like more length or volume after your relaxer, we have Yaki extensions – a straight texture with body and a more matte shine that blends with relaxed Afro hair. We install them as a sew-in at both our salons.
