Fresh Relaxer Flatness? How do you handle?

[bajanplums1]

What do you do, esp. fine haired ladies to handle that flatness the sometimes come with a fresh relaxer?

A rollerset makes a great difference if you want more body to your hair.

My method is henna and time.

Or you could take advantage of the flatness and try some sleek styles, buns updos etc.

When I had layers, I would get a roller wrap. Once it was all one length and I wanted a flat wrap I would get my hair blowdried instead of sitting under the dryer. It made my fine hair look thicker/fuller.

hmm . . . when I used to blowdry my hair was fuller, but I don't want to go back to the heat. I'm going to rollerset tonight. I think I used too much oil and it made my hair too sleek.

I agree with all about the rollersetting. I airdry mine in a rollerset and it removes all relaxer flatness.

Yeah, I didn't mind it since I trusted my hair dresser. She was gentle. And it looked so much better. Whenever I washed my own hair I always airdried it. I started that out of laziness when I started washing my own hair in 8th grade. My mother used to yell at me for it though. But yeah, if you're staying away from heat try a roller wrap.

Yeah, rollersets will help, but make sure that you go easy on the products after a touch up. To much product will kill your curls and make your hair flat in a heartbeat.

Thank you for starting this thread!!!!!

I hate how FLAT my hair is looking right now. It's still 'swangin' but I hate the flatness. It's not time to wash it yet so I'm basically wearing it back and tucked behind my ears.

Do you think I could 'dry' rollerset it to get so umphff???

To avoid the flat head look, I always rollerset after a realxer using a foam like Keracare. This always gives me mucho volume & bounce. HTH
