If you’re new to Take Khair or coming back for a refresh, here’s what to expect and how to prep. A little heads-up makes your appointment smoother, your hair easier to work with, and your results even better.

All our stylists are fully trained and educated to work with every hair type, from curly to kinky 4C. We understand textured hair and protective styles, so you’re in good hands no matter your curl pattern.

Cuts & Trims

Coily, Curly, Straight/Wavy, Kids

Cuts aren’t just for dry hair. Whether you’re curly, coily, wavy, or straight:

• Clean and detangled: Helps us see your natural shape and texture.
• Skip heavy products: Oils or creams can weigh hair down and affect the cut.
• Kids cuts: Feed and rest little ones for a smoother appointment.
• Reference photos: Bring or upload through the pre-appointment form for a clear starting point.

Pro tip: Talk through your goals during your consultation so your stylist can guide the cut to fit your everyday look.

 

Colouring

All Coloring Services

Healthy hair equals better colour. Prep tips:

• No fresh wash: Natural oils protect your scalp and help colour last longer.
  
• Light products only: Heavy creams or oils can block colour absorption.
  
• Bring visuals: Upload your inspiration so your stylist knows your exact vision.
  

Pro tips: Consider adding a K-18 Treatment with your colour. It repairs damage from heat, colour, and chemical treatments in just four minutes, leaving curls soft, strong, and shiny for longer. We highly recommend it for curly and textured hair to maintain health and manageability between colour appointments.

Avoid trying new chemical treatments the week before. Let your stylist know your hair history so we can protect and optimise results.

 

Wash & Style

A wash and style should leave your hair bouncy, smooth, and camera-ready:

• Detangled hair: Curly hair tangles easily, so smooth strands make styling faster and easier.
• Skip heavy oils: Your style will hold better without extra weight.
• Hydrated hair: Moisture responds better to heat and styling products.

 

Braids, Twists & Locs

Protective styles look best on healthy, prepped hair:

• Clean, detangled hair: Makes braiding comfortable and keeps the style lasting longer.
  Hydrated strands: Prevent breakage and reduce discomfort.

• Skip heavy products: Avoid build-up that slows braiding or loc maintenance.
  

• Time check: Some styles take hours, so schedule accordingly.
  

Optional add-on: If you don’t have time or want extra convenience, you can add a wash & blow or just a blow before your style.
