What should be done to the hair immediately following a chemical relaxing process?

After a chemical relaxing process, it is essential to deep condition the hair. This step is crucial because chemical relaxing can strip the hair of its natural moisture, leading to dryness and potential damage. Deep conditioning treatments help to replenish moisture, restore the hair's elasticity, and improve its overall health and manageability.

Additionally, the deep conditioning process allows for the infusion of nourishing ingredients that can help repair and strengthen the hair after the chemical treatment. It enhances the hair’s vitality and prepares it for further styling by ensuring that it retains moisture and looks shiny and healthy.

While coloring the hair may be considered, it is generally advisable to wait after a chemical relaxer to allow the hair to recover from the processing. Using a hairdryer or applying heat immediately may contribute to additional stress on the already chemically treated hair, which is why deep conditioning is the preferred option immediately following a chemical relaxing process.
