question 25 of 100
which statement about relaxer retouch applications is true?
select the correct response:
relaxer retouch applications should be applied only to new hair growth.
relaxer retouch applications should be applied on the entire head, from the scalp to hair ends.
relaxer retouch applications can be applied to the scalp first if better results are desired.
relaxer retouch applications should be applied to the entire head, but not to the scalp.

Explanation:

Relaxer retouches target only the new, unprocessed hair growth at the roots. Applying relaxer to previously relaxed hair (lengths/ends) would cause over-processing, damage, and breakage. Applying directly to the scalp first can also cause irritation, so retouches focus solely on the new growth area.

Answer:

Relaxer retouch applications should be applied only to new hair growth.
