What the service includes
Our Virgin Relaxer service is applied root to ends, neutralized, then followed by a recovery shampoo treatment to rebalance the hair. If your scalp needs it, we use an apple cider charcoal scalp shampoo before the finishing moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. The service finishes with the style you request.
Neutralizing completes the chemical phase and allows us to begin recovery cleansing; we do not perform additional chemical processes during the same appointment. The shampoo sequence is designed to remove residue, care for the scalp, and return moisture before styling, helping manage texture for Bowie’s humid summers and your daily routine.
How the results are shaped
The starting condition of your natural hair — its curl pattern, porosity, and any previous chemical or color history — shapes how the relaxer performs. At Tiffany Pretty & Co. in Bowie we assess these factors during consultation so the application, neutralizing, and recovery steps match your hair’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all routine.
Seasonality matters: many Bowie clients choose this service in January for New Year transformations or in May and June to reduce frizz before high humidity. Those months are busiest, so plan appointments in advance — evenings and weekends are popular for commuters and families juggling after-school activities.
Aftercare and styling options
After the service we style as requested, using the moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to set the finish. A recovery shampoo after neutralizing plus the optional apple cider charcoal scalp treatment helps prepare the hair and scalp for heat styling or protective looks; we do not promise specific styling longevity, only the immediate finished result.
The Virgin Relaxer appointment is listed at $180 and lasts 60 MINUTES, which covers application, neutralization, recovery cleansing, and styling. Clients from Bowie, Glenn Dale, Seabrook, Lanham, Mitchellville, and Laurel often book around work schedules — ask about evening and weekend availability to fit family or commuter needs.
