Frequently Asked Questions
At The Color & Curl Co·Lab, we believe natural hair care should be simple and efficient. Styling your hair shouldn’t require an overwhelming number of products, and wash day shouldn’t take more than three hours. Detangling can be done quickly and effectively with the right techniques. We see products as tools to help manage and enhance your hair, not change your natural curl pattern. Regular cleansing is essential, and we recommend shampooing at least every two weeks. We value all types of stylers—foams, creams, and gels—for their specific purposes, but we avoid raw oils and butters. Instead, we focus on well-balanced, professionally formulated products that truly nourish and support healthy hair
At The Color & Curl Co·Lab, we offer an educational and transformative curl care experience focused on products, proper usage, and the WHY behind every step. Your first appointment includes a personalized consultation, hair detox, scalp scrub, and three restorative treatments (bond builders and proteins) with steam therapy. We’ll then gently detangle, trim, and style your hair to match your desired look—whether it’s finger coils, flexi rods, wash-and-gos, or twist-outs. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and tools to confidently care for and embrace your curls.
Our New Client Silk Press Service is a luxurious and personalized experience designed to leave your hair silky, healthy, and refreshed. This service includes a thorough consultation to discuss your hair history and goals, followed by a precise trim and customized treatments tailored to your hair’s needs—whether it’s pH balancing, protein strengthening, bond repair, or steam hydration. Throughout the service, your stylist will guide you on the best at-home care routine to maintain your results. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a rejuvenating experience crafted just for you.
At The Color & Co·Lab, we offer an Amino Acid Treatment designed to extend the longevity of silk presses and reduce excessive frizz when wearing your hair straight. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, so this treatment also works as a strengthening solution for your hair. Unlike relaxers, it does not alter your hair’s chemical structure. Instead, it acts like a protective raincoat, filling in cracks and gaps along the hair shaft to reinforce strength and guard against humidity.
Do you know the best part? You can still wear your hair curly or styled in a twist-out. Once you wash your hair, it will easily revert to its natural curly state with minimal frizz. Results typically last 4-6 months, and we recommend getting this treatment 2-3 times a year for optimal benefits.
I recommend trimming every 10-16 weeks depending on your growth pattern and lifestyle. If you know your hair begins to split at a certain time, get them cut sooner than later. No product revives dead.
We are brand agnostic which means we're not dedicated, or tied to one specific line. We use different shampoos, conditioners, and styling agents depending on your specific request and hair need.
