How long does rebonding last?
The hair that has been rebonded stays straight until it grows out or is cut off. What changes over time is the new hair growing from the roots, which comes in with your natural texture. At Amuse, Soft Relaxing / Rebonding starts from RM280.
Why the straightness stays
Rebonding uses a chemical process to reshape the hair, then the stylist straightens and sets it. The treated lengths keep that new shape, so they do not turn wavy again after washing.
When to touch up the regrowth
Hair grows roughly one centimetre a month. As the regrowth gets longer, the roots look more frizzy or wavy next to the straight lengths. Many people book a regrowth touch-up every four to six months; with very curly hair you may want it sooner. We only rebond the new growth, not the hair that is already straight, to avoid over-processing.
Aftercare for the first few days
- Follow your stylist’s advice on when to wash your hair for the first time.
- Keep your hair down and straight; avoid tying it up, clips and tucking it behind your ears at first.
- Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner, and blow-dry on a cool or warm setting.
- A regular treatment helps keep rebonded hair soft, for example a Moisture Treatment.

Quick answers
No. The rebonded lengths stay straight. Only the new hair growing from the roots has your natural texture.
Usually yes, but it is better to leave some time between chemical services. Tell us your plans and your hair’s history, and we will suggest the order and timing.
