I was on a site yesterday that belonged to a stylist that at one point in time was raved about here on LHCF. His name is Marvin located in NYC. He give 34 tips on his website. Here are just a few of them.
<ul type="square"> [*]Moisturize your hair with a conditioning cream every 3-4 days if your hair is relaxed.
[*]Try to shampoo and condition your hair at least once a week.
[*]Oil your scalp up with a castor oil based, hair oil 2 wks prior to your relaxer ever 2-3 days. This will lubricate your new growth, which will slow shedding and make the scalp less sentitive during relaxation.
[*]If you have to relax your own hair, apply some base on your scalp and ends slightly to protect them...
[*]If you need to use a dandruff or medicated shamepoo always shampoo twice and leave the second shampoo on for 10 min. to penetrate the scalp, then condition.
[*]Do you have an itchy scalp? Apply Sea Breeze to your scalp with a cotton swab before and after shampooing.
[/list]
He has many other tips some that have to do with hair coloring and other things some might find interested esp. us newbies. Marvin's Website It takes awhile to load. These and other tips are found under the heading of "Tips" of course. HTH!!!
