Answer 2

Who relaxed your hair?

If you went to the salon, you need to ask the person that YOU trusted to relax it in the first place. They know the present condition of your hair and they know their track record for keeping the clients hair healthy after applying the chemical.

If you did it yourself, you need to find a professional that can deep condition it and trim it after you relax it; EVERY TIME.

Asking people that have never assessed the condition of your hair when it is wet or dry is always a bad idea.

I have been specializing in relaxed hair for 14 years. To give you good advice, I would have to know the density, elasticity and porosity of your hair. I would then PRESCRIBE products that will maintain or improve those conditions; that is the only way to achieve healthy hair.

The answers on this site leave alot ot be desired. The person that told you to use bath soap and stay away from color knows nothing about hair and the rest of them are just guessing. Color can be added and maintained as long as you preserve the density, elasticity and porosity of your hair.

Answer 3

...I use Motions because they have added moisturizers that leave my hair hydrated which ethnic hair needs...be sure to get products that are formulated for relaxed, ethnic hair...and deep condition every now and then as well i use Queen Helen's Cholesterol...girl that stuff is the BOMB...when you comb your hair comb from ends to root and use a wide tooth comb also when conditioning start with the ends and work up...the ends are the oldest hair and the most stressed part of the hair...be care full with buns and ponytails right after your relaxer because if they are too tight they will break the hair right off...and invest in a satin scarf to put on your head when you sleep to avoid hair being pulled out by your pillowcase...don't forget to get trims because once te hair splits it will eat all the way up your head and I'm sure you know to minimize heat usage...this is more info than you requested but these things will keep your hair healthy...

The best thing to do is ask your stylist to reccomend products. A lot of times they can get the professional stuff for you to use at home. The most important thing is to get a light oil to grease your scalp at least once a week depending on how dry your scalp is. Also, make sure you at least put oil sheen or some type of protectant on your hair before using heat. I like the Optimum line of daily hair care products. It's lightweight and really works.

Answer 5

Wash you hair ones a week, not with shampoo just with a simple bath soap, before this apply all over the hair coconut oil. Also if possible apply coconut oil regularly, and do not go for the colours, etc that are coming in market as they will spoil your hair, do not use very hot water for hair, nor towel / rub it very hard just do it lightly. Do not go out in a hot sun without a cover on the head. That is all I know.

Answer 6

Definitely use the Matrix Sleek Look line and the brand Proclaim. They work wonders. I have relaxed hair also.

Answer 7

Spray your hair with Isoplus Oil Sheen Hair Spray every day to keep moisture and shine to your hair.

Answer 8

Pantene for colored women's hair....it really works wonder's..It's about 6 for the conditioner, 8 for the shampoo and maybe 10 for the mostiurerizer.
