Blasted New Growth

[CheerBear]

Whenever I get a substanstial amount of new growth, my hair responds by becoming extremely dry and brittle, no matter what products I do or don't use!!!! Any suggestions??

Distilled water sprayed on the hair and conditioner washing has helped me. I spray distilled water on the new growth at night, cover with my satin cap b4 bed and in the morning, I apply my leave in conditioner or s-curl mixed with ors carrot oil.
Experiment until you find what works for you.

does your hair go back to normal after you relax? if it does then i would go and relax again

I would say to keep it moist somehow. Maybe more conditioning washes and keeping it smooth and moist with a product like Healthy Hair Butter or ORS Olive Oil.

I dont know if it's going back to normal, but my hair grows about an inch per month so i just figured it was new growth, but it does start getting coarse again not long after relaxing...

Is it the one in the small container or the one that comes in a bottle (the less expensive one)?

ayeshia,

I have never used either olive oil but I've heard people use it in place of HHB. I suppose any lotiony, thick type product would work well.

My hair does the same thing about 6 weeks into a touch up. I spray some s-curl on the roots to soften and moisturize. It really does help.
