Answer 1

My wife goes to longhaircareforum.com. They have tons of information there. Her hair has always been very long and healthy. Right now it its, Armpit length and very thick. You can send me a message if you'd like pictures.
She says:
Relax with Motions relaxer
Deep condition your hair every week to 2weeks. She likes Lekair Cholesterol or Queen Helene Cholesterol which she leaves in for an hour before washing out.
She says she protein treats her hair every 2months. Make sure you deep condition after a protein treatment. For protein she uses Aphogee treatment or Motions CPR.

Try to limit heat use to once a week or less. You can rollerset the hair to keep it healthy instead of using heat. If you do use heat make sure you use a heat protectant (Redken heat glide or isoplus heat protectant spray). She washes her hair with Creme of Nature shampoo and conditions it with Suave or V05 conditioners (which ever one smells good. She only trims her hair every 6months, and only if she has split ends.

I permed my own hair with a Fabulaxer and it came out really good. I chose to use Pantene Pro-V Products to keep it healthy. Also I use Infusium 23 as a leave in conditioner at least once a week. My hair is very shiny and still lays down after four weeks with new growth.

Answer 3

It can be healthy if you get it professionally perm every time. Then, go for a protein treatment two wks after the perm. Get ends trimmed every two to three months. And in between salon time keep hair washed, conditioned, and moisturized.

Answer 4

i think of you're speaking some relaxer as adversarial to a perm which makes the hair curly. yet, no it won't merely fall our. yet comfortable hair desires maintenance. you will might desire to apply a sturdy shampoo and conditioner often. Moisturizing is extremely important. portion of the maintenance is getting the roots retouched everywhere from 4 weeks to eight weeks aside. maximum women human beings desire a retouch at 6 weeks. it particularly is extremely important because of the fact in case you wait too long, it particularly is what motives breakage. the hot boost is powerful hair, collectively as the comfortable section is weaker. yet another element is utilising too plenty warmth. in case you utilize curling irons well-known, this might reason harm to the hair. one greater element to evaluate is that no longer each physique's hair can tolerate a relaxer, yet of direction you will no longer be attentive to that till it particularly is accomplished. I even have worn a relaxer for 20 years, and my hair has no longer suffered in any respect. ultimately, at your age your mom will possibly no longer experience which you're up for the accountability of looking after your hair. At 13 I too had very long, thick, wavy hair and all I wore grew to become right into a ponytail!

Answer 5

Yes, if properly RELAXED (correct term)and maintained, African American hair can still be healthy. Conditioning and not using lots of heat on the hair can also keep it in shape. Keeping ends trimmed and sleeping on NON-cotton pillowcases or wearing a satin cap help also.

Answer 6

Yeah girl, I just got a perm in not to long ago, and it was pretty bad, it was dry damaged and really brittle. But once I put in this perm it got real relaxed and it shined to the perfect luster. It turned out to be real nice. it layed it down and it actually makes your hair grow faster. Just keep it trimmed every two weeks and wash it every three weeks. It will turn out beautiful! Good luck. Send me the results!

Answer 7

No, I don't perm my hair. I relax it with Olive Oil or T-Tree relaxers because you hair is soft and it makes it healthy. I just got a Olive Oil relaxer last week and my hair is nice, healthy, and smooth. Plus shiny, and it moves and you know us africa americans hair never moves.
