girl, I can relate to your post. there are times when my hair just wouldn't take a relaxer. Even using bantu and revlon realistic, in three weeks, it seemed i needed a touch up. before i became more educated, i had to touch up every three weeks in order to comb it. my hair is in braids now and although my hair is very coarse and resistant i stopped using super and went to Motions Oil mild relaxer. There is a huge improvement. i only leave it on for 18 mins and i have learned my hair is healthier when it is not bone straight.i used to apply the relaxer and put a plastic cap on my head for 5 mins. to break down the curl faster and then smooth it out (old trick learned from cosmetologist).
I am still working on my vitamin regime, but my hair is not hard and dry. i use s-curl moisturizer mixed with motions oil moisturizer every day, even without the braids. i also use Wild Growth Oil and i just went back to glover's mane treatment. and when those roots start getting so that you can't see or feel your scalp, i use a really thick conditioner like ORS hair mayonnaise, or ION Effective Care Intensive Therapy Treatment(makes your hair wayyyyyy soft).
Sorry for the long post, but i can truly feel you and hope it helps.
