Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Wave nouveau curl retouch.

Appointments typically take 60 to 90 minutes depending on hair length, density, and curl complexity. We begin with consultation, gentle cleansing, and then perform the targeted retouch to renew wave pattern, finish with moisturizing products and styling to lock in results.

When performed by trained stylists using Wave Nouveau systems, retouches are gentle. Regular maintenance every six to twelve weeks minimizes stress. We assess hair health at each visit and recommend protective care to prevent cumulative damage and preserve curl integrity.

Avoid washing for 48 hours after the retouch to allow bonds to set and waves to form. Afterward use sulfate-free cleansers and diluted conditioners recommended by our stylists to protect the curl structure and prolong definition.

Wave Nouveau adapts to most curl types but results vary. Fine, fragile, or chemically treated hair require consultation and tailored formulations. Our stylists evaluate texture, porosity, and previous services to design a safe, effective retouch plan.

We recommend a sulfate-free shampoo, hydrating conditioner, and a lightweight curl cream or gel to define waves. Use a wide-tooth comb, diffuse on low heat, and sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and extend the style.

Most clients return every six to ten weeks depending on curl looseness and growth. Your stylist will recommend a personalized schedule based on hair condition, lifestyle, and desired fullness to keep waves consistently defined and frizz controlled.
