  • Chemical relaxing — precise application, timing and scalp protection for sodium-hydroxide and no-lye systems on coarse, multi-textured and Afro-Caribbean hair
  • Permanent straightening — the chemical mechanics of thio-based thermal straightening for sleek, permanent results
  • Modern smoothing systems — permanent restructuring versus semi-permanent smoothing, and tailoring frizz control to every client
  • Elasticity and porosity testing, barrier placement, virgin applications and root retouching without overlap
  • Bond realignment, chemical stabilisation and restorative aftercare

Testing, scalp analysis, barrier placement, virgin applications and precise root retouching.

Hands-on work across different straighteners and relaxers — speed, tension control and neutralisation mapping, with the potential for a guest takeover day from a global texture brand.

Internal bond realignment and stabilisation in the morning; your official VTCT external theory exam in the afternoon.

Week 6 · Live assessments & graduation

A complete commercial relaxing or straightening service on a live model under VTCT assessor supervision.
