Washing before touch up advice..HELP!

[amber815]

I am getting a touch up Thursday afternoon. Would it be ok to wash my hair either tonight or tomorrow? My hair just looks yucky and my usual wash day is tomorrow. You guys think I will be ok with a good basing?

I always wait a minimum of 3 and maximum of 4 days before a relaxer to wash. So you should be fine tonight or tomorrow!

NOOOOO STOP RIGHT NOW!

Don't do it! you will end up with third degree burns if you do, it's best to always wait at least a week before relaxing. And don't scratch of brush your hair too much either this will also lead to burns on the scalp when you relax.

I have a fickle, sometimes sensitive scalp and I can relax after 2 days. I base really well, and have no problems. Just to be safe, if getting the touch-up at the salon try to arrive kind of early and ask to sit under a cool dryer for 10 minutes (closes the pores), and drink lots of water before you go (no coffee or soda). You shouldn't have any problems.

Depends on your scalp...mine canNOT be manipulated for at least a week prior to relaxing.
