My hair type is 4z - on the extreme end of kinky & coarse. During this time of year I exercise a lot - Discovery's Nat'l Body Challenge/Oprah's Boot Camp. I use weaves to maintain my professional appearance, stretch my relaxers & protect my hair during gym time. I'm looking for a good relaxed weave brand. In the past I've used Beverly Johnson Yaky perm, but it's getting hard to find.
P.S. This forum is amazing. I had major breakage earlier this year & wore weaves to grow those areas out. Barry Fletcher is the best relaxer I've found after a lifetime of hair horror stories w/ hair salons & products that were not strong enough for my hair. In Oct. even that didn't take. I learned from this site that it was the overacidification from my workouts that was keeping the perm from taking and I had great results this week w/ my Barry Fletcher.
