Generally yes — our gentle detox and steam are formulated to protect color when using appropriate products. Tell your stylist about recent coloring; they’ll select color-safe cleansers and adjust temperature to minimize fading while restoring scalp health and moisture.

We apply warm steam after shampooing to open hair cuticles and promote conditioner absorption. Steam increases moisture penetration, loosens trapped debris, and enhances circulation to the scalp, resulting in cleaner locs, softer texture, and improved overall hair health.

Keep locs moisturized with lightweight sprays or oils, avoid heavy products for at least a week, and rinse with lukewarm water. Sleep with a satin scarf, and schedule follow-up detoxes as recommended to maintain scalp clarity and prevent buildup.
