Ladies, this is not a complaint, but...my hair is where it was before I jacked it up. I truly believe that extending my relaxer, "little" heat useage, the right products, patience and care has helped me regain my healthy hair. My problem is I don't know how to take care of longer hair.
Please don't think this a silly question. As my hair grows - I'm finding as I get beyond 10 weeks post relaxer that I'm having challenges. I get mad tangles/knots after shampooing - I'm using a wide tooth comb, leave in's - beyond being gentle, are their any other tips I need to know.
Also, do any of you wear your own hair when you extend your relaxer without the help of braids, hair pieces, wigs or weaves? I wear my pinned up and found that during the last two weeks I've had to blow dry and wear for a week in order to manage. I'd rather not use the heat at all, but I'm looking rough. I guess I could braid to maintain and wear in a textured style. Any other suggestions?
Ladies, any other tips on maintaining beyond 10 weeks would be helpful.
All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance!!
