I noticed my hair has become more resistant to relaxers

[Qualitee]

Is that a good or a bad thing?
Its taking longer and longer for my hair to relax, with normal and resistant relaxer creams.

are you taking a multivitamin???? Your hair could be growing in stronger

Yeah I take 1 day mulit vitamins I hope thats the reason

 

[SweetCaramel1]

so is mine. i normally use mild but my hair laughed at mild this time

Has your body gone through any major changes? My hair became more resistant to relaxers after I gave birth; so I assuming it was the result of my body's changes during pregnancy. My hair is still resistant in that it my hair does not stay straight as long as it used to.

I agree with you every since I have been regularly taking vitamins, chlorella & super green foods, I have noticed that my hair is more resistant to relaxers and even, heat. It just means your hair is getting healthier.

I think they are making relaxer creams weaker nowadays...just my theory.

I hope so

Ummmm, I’m not sure what to say here. I’ve used the same relaxer for 2 year, my hair has gotten thicker so I now use more cream but the processing time and relaxer strength is the same; I just use 2 applications instead of one (it could be cause I stretch longer now). Maybe your hair needs more relaxer, not necessarily more time.

Chances are it is healthier since you have been taking care of it. Unhealthy hair isn't very resistant, because it's already broken down and the relaxer doesn't have to do much to break it down. Healthy hair, on the other hand, is just the opposite. It is intact and the relaxer has to work to break down such intact hair.

I hope this is the case for me too, cause since I been on the board taking care of my hair differently, I haven't had a bone straight relaxer in AGES, no matter how thick the application or how long I keep it on.

My ends are texlexed....

 

[Mystic]

Hmmmm, have you clarified recently?

 

[takincareofme]

I had the same problem with my last few lye relaxers. I finally had to break down and start using no lye again with better results.

I just attributed it to my hair's love for protein; I dc with protein and moisture with every wash. My hair strands are thicker/coarser as well. I could be wrong of course just sounds good.

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Qualitee you got that "skrong" stuff I think it's good but that's just my opinion. Keep your hair moisturized if nothing else

 

[fashion87]

mine as well....its crazy i've used lye and no lye after i stopped transitioning after 10 months and my hair is still curly from my roots down to the middle of the shaft....so i figure its protein and i think i might as well just stop relaxing cuz CHILE IT AIN'T WORKIN

 

[Kellum]

That's why I consider myself texlaxed as well. It won't get bone straight at all. It will only straighten to a certain degree.

 

[Itllbeokbaby]

here's the thread that i mentioned from my above post....it mentions ph of relaxers, and the ph of scalp, and diet.
