FAQ - Tressa Recell (Reconstructor/Post-Chemical Treatment)

Q: What is Tressa Recell used for?
A: Tressa Recell is a professional hair reconstructor or reconditioning treatment used immediately after chemical services (such as perms, relaxers, or color). Its primary function is to restore the hair's natural pH balance, reconstruct the cuticle layer, and lock in the results of the chemical service. It is often the crucial final step in a Tressa perm system to ensure the hair returns to a healthy, low-alkaline state.

Q: When in a perm service do you apply Tressa Recell?
A: Tressa Recell is typically applied after the neutralizer has been rinsed out and before the final conditioning rinse. It works to remove residual chemical deposits from the cuticle, stop any remaining chemical action, and realign the hair bonds that were broken during the waving process. This ensures the wave or curl pattern is set firmly without over-processing the hair.

Q: What are the key benefits of using Tressa Recell?
A: The key benefits include pH balancing to prevent cuticle swelling, removal of harsh chemical residues and odors, reconstruction of the hair shaft to prevent breakage, and enhancement of shine and softness. It allows stylists to offer a premium "aftercare" service that improves the longevity of the perm or color.

Q: Is Tressa Recell a conditioner or a treatment?
A: It is a specialized post-chemical treatment, not a standard daily conditioner. While conditioners coat the hair, Recell works to reconstruct the internal structure of the hair. It prepares the hair to accept conditioning products by first sealing the cuticle and eliminating damage caused by alkalinity.

Q: Can Tressa Recell be used after hair color services?
A: Yes, if the product is formulated as a universal reconstructor, it is excellent for use after color services. It helps close the cuticle after the coloring process, which locks in color pigment, reduces fading, and leaves the hair feeling smooth rather than porous and rough.

Q: What is the texture and size of Tressa Recell?
A: Post-chemical treatments like Recell usually come in a liquid or thin, milky lotion form to allow for easy saturation of the hair while it is still wound on perm rods. The professional size is typically 32 oz (1 quart) or a 1 Liter bottle for backbar use
