For a woman wearing long hair, she gets her hair relaxed every 6-8 weeks. My friend tells me that every time she gets her hair done, (every two weeks), no matter who does it, she always gets it relaxed yet again. I fear that this may damage her hair completely. Any Black hair stylists out there??? Thanks!

She will be bald, burnt, and scabbed up in the next month or so if not sooner... That's just plain crazy.. It's bad enough to relax at all and risk damage..
6 - 8 weeks is the norm.. but every 2 weeks... i'm laughing.. Her stylist has her fooled into taking all her money.. it costs so much more to relax than to just wash/blow/curl.. She must be forking over 60 - 80 every 2 weeks..
The relaxer/touchup is for getting the new growth straight.. what new growth can she POSSIBLY have in 2 weeks.. Hair does not even grow that fast that she has new hair in 2 weeks that needs to be relaxed..
She's krazy...

Ive worn my hair short for more than 15 years. My hair is extremely healthy. I "spot perm" every 3-4 weeks. I have grown my hair out many times throughout the years but decided to return to my short cut 5 years ago. I think it depends on the person s hair texture and how fast it grows. I do not agree with a complete "virgin" relaxing every 2 weeks but spot perming (especially the back) is very necessary with very short hair.

Tell her don't do it. Her hair is bound to fall out. If her hair grows super fast and she needs a perm every two weeks then that is okay. Black hair is way different from white hair. Our hair can dry out at the drop of a pin. If she gets it permed every two weeks, she is not giving her hair enough time to grow. She is perming it at the first sign of new growth. I can understand not wanting new growth but just get a hair style that moves around your new growth. Like flat ironing it or pinning it up. Luck.

It's all merely a matter of personal preference. I have short hair and guys like it. And i prefer a person with short hair over a person with long hair because long curly hair tends to make guys look too girly.

no!!!!!!!!! dude her hair is gonna get major damage im not a stylists but im around people that do hair and they wouldnt advise it. but if ur friend is going to a shop to get it done then it might be okay cuz shops don't relax the hair all the way and they its okay every 2 weeks cuz thats how they get paid . but i would tell her to stop cuz its straining her hair way to much

They cut the old hair off to keep the short style so it's really like perming new hair each time and is safe
