Help!! I've wanted long hair since I was a little girl. My new growth comes out very tight and dry and usually appear 2 weeks after a relaxer. If this sound s like you and you have still managed to grow long hair PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!

Well, at least you know your hair grows and it can grow long! you just need to retain the length. A great moisturizing deep conditioner and leave-in will help tame the new growth and help to make it softer and manageable. Also, everytime you use a leave-in moisturizer, seal it with an oil such as unrefined coconut oil or castor oil. it helps to lock in that moisture thereby combatting dryness.

I don't want to push PJism but some good dc's are SitriNillah conditioning mask(http://www.hairveda.net/), Joico has a good Kpak line or try the Moisture Recovery. I love them! Moisture is the key and protein as needed (I know relaxed heads need it more than naturals, it seems). Watch your heat usage, sleep on a satin pillowcase or with a silk scarf. Don't get scissor happy!

and patience... although I'm not the one to preach on that.

good luck and happy hair growing!
