Do you use a chelating shampoo during the relaxing process? If so, when?

[SleepyJean]

Did not feel like working with that faulty search engine today. I just want to know do you use a chelating shampoo during the relaxing process? If so, when? Is it after, before, between?

The only time I've ever used Chelating Shampoo was when I was using Vitale Sensitive Scalp relaxers. This is the shampoo that was included in the kit. I used this after rinsing out the relaxer. I plan to buy some of this poo since I've heard good things about Chelating on this site.

Just did this last night.

After relaxer has been neutralized with neutralizing poo, then proceed to use the chelating poo. I used Kenra. Very happy with the results.

I had a lot of product build up. I don't know if I would need to do this after every Chemical unless my hair required it.

Hope this was helpful

I missed this thread!

I do use a chelating after touchups, too. I have to.

I was noticing that was hair was kinda feeling odd on the days between my relaxer and next wash. I always using my chelating shampoo on wash days but I was not using it on relaxer day.

So I started using a chelator and I can tell a difference. I really like those Crystal Clarifying packs from Sally Beauty on relaxer day. They are sulfate free and I feel that my hair does not need anything stripping on relaxer day. if I don't have any of those (I think the cost can be too much for what you get), I will use my tried and true Kenra Chelating shampoo and it does the job.

Hi Honewdew! :hi:

What is a chelator? Is it the same thing as a chelating shampoo? I may have to make another trip to Sallys.

The shampoo that came in the relaxer kit was a neutralizing poo that chelates.
