In 2004 I decided to become chemical free. In 2009 I wanted a weave but with some hair left out. Because I workout I could not decide if I just wanted her to press the hair that was left out or just do a texrelax. Well, I opt for the texrelax and 6 weeks later after taken the weave out, my hair underneath was damaged, but the hair left out was fine. I moisturized and seal almost every other day,wash and DC once a week etc.,so I didn't know what happen. So, I decided to do a full weave with no hair left out. I did this for 9 months and my hair grew out beautifully. (I did the same regimen as my first weave). Now, I had a reinstall in Feb. and decided to leave some hair out but this time I opt to just texrelax the part that was left out. After 3 weeks I washed my hair, DC, etc., and by the 4th week the hair that is left out was breaking on 1 side. So, I did everything possible DC once a week with ORS hair mayo, poo wash with keracare moisturizing DC and did a aphogee 2 min reconstruction treatment . I did flat iron on 250 (FHI) and put redkins heat serum on my hair. Still no improvement and now I'm noticing really thick roots(that will not straighten)and more breakage..
