does anyone out know how often you should chemically relax the hair? i usually have mine processed every month

Question

some times every 3 weeks for that smooth sleek look but i'v been experiencing some minor breakage.also a few split ends,one more thing when applying a perm are you suppose to cover the ends of your hair too?

Answer 1

You should relax your hair every 6-8 weeks (5 weeks at the least). Also, when you're applying the relaxer, only apply the product to the new growth at the roots, not the entire strand. The only time you apply relaxer to the ends is when you're doing a virgin relaxer (hair that has never been processed). Moisture is the key with our hair, so remember to deep condition it too. If you have split ends, be sure to get those clipped. You hair will look healthly and will be easier to manage. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

You should always relax your hair every 10-12 weeks. I use john freida relax to stretch my relaxer. I also use La Bomba deep conditioner. You cant even tell I need a touch-up. NEVER apply the relaxer to your ends that will only overprocess them whicvh will leave you with a whole lot of split ends.

Answer 3

That is way too often! I relax about once every 3 months. Maybe you should change your relaxer brand if you have to retouch that often its not working.
Also its for your roots only not your ends! My god your hair is going to fall out with all those chemicals.
