Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Rake N Shake.
Rake N Shake works best on wavy to coily textures that respond to finger definition. Fine or straight hair can use a light version. Our stylists assess porosity, density and curl pattern to adapt technique and product for optimal results.
Typically results last until your next wash, often two to five days depending on hair porosity, activity level and sleep habits. Refresh with a light mist, scrunch, or reapply a pea-sized amount of product to revive curl shape and volume.
Yes. The shaking motion lifts roots and separates curls to create natural body without blow-drying or backcombing. It enhances volume while keeping hair light and touchable—ideal for clients who prefer minimal heat and lightweight styling products.
Yes, with precautions. Color-treated and relaxed curls can benefit when stylists choose gentle products and adjust tension. A consultation is required to avoid over-manipulation; we tailor application to protect integrity and enhance curl shape without compromising previous treatments.
Sleep on a silk pillowcase or pineapple hair to preserve curls. Refresh with a water-based mist and gentle scrunching, apply a small amount of curl cream, and avoid brushing. Schedule regular trims and follow your stylist's product recommendations.
Absolutely. By defining individual clumps and encouraging elongated curl formation, the method reduces visible shrinkage while improving curl definition. Combined with the right products and stretch techniques, this delivers longer-looking, more uniform curls with better movement.
