I've always used a boxed perm before. My hair started to break off and my buddie told me to slow down on the relaxing. So i did. And now my hair is kinda get out of control. I haven't had one in for about 4 months now. I would also like to know how often i should clip my ends and how much should i take off?

Relaxing should be done every 6 to 8 weeks, depending on how fast your new growth comes in.
The best relaxer is a professionally dispensed one, like Affirm or Mizani, but not boxed perms. They dry your hair out the worst! But conditon, condition, condition!
There is also a lot of buzz about the Phytospecific perm, but I'm not sure if you want to put alot of $$$ into it ($60 for the perm, then pay someone to put it in). Plus there are so many different results, some good,some neutral, I wouldn't mess with it right now.
Trimming ends should happen every 6 to 8 weeks, prob. around the time you get a relaxer retouch. I usually wait until the first shampoo after the retouch.
How did you wait 4 months without a retouch- WOW!

OK... sista girl... it depends on what type of hair you have... See my moms is white.. daddy is black... and I have oil/dry/thick/wavy hair.... so I am in the middle and it all depends on the weather forreal. In the winter i get my relaxers 3-4 mos apart. In the summer 1-2mos apart, cause of the heat and humidity. It messy with me bad...
i get the short in of the stick. I only go to the salon to get relaxers.. that way I can get it treated at the same time... any other time I am at home.. rollin my own hair up. But if I have to use a relaxer at home.. I use proactive... (white bottle red/black lettering) or motions... these cannot be purchased in a box.. they have to be bought from hair store and they are in bottles.... make sure you get the shampoo that matches the perm.. otherwise you are in for a good burning. Also.... you are only suppose to relaxer your hair when you get new growth ( I am sure u know what that is... new hair growth....).. but anyway... about and 1in to an 1 1/2 in length.. depending on the texture of your hair... if you have true... ****** hair,you will do it at 1in... me I do it about 1 1/2 to 2 in.
Good luck......... happy styling!
