moisturizing the new growth before touch up

[Brownie]

Does anyone put anything on their new growth after getting the hair ready for a touch up, or do you leave it dry---without anything on it. In case I'm not making sense, I'll restate my question: do you put anything on your new growth the week before your touch up? If so, what can you use that won't affect the touch up process?

Thanks in advance!

I just moisturize with my regular moisturizer. I do this right before my relaxers and I never have any problems.

thanks, stylepink. Maybe I'll slap some s-curl on it.

Castor oil on new growth is great for the week before touch ups

I second the castor oil.

So, castor oil doesn't affect the relaxing process? I know some people apply castor oil to the previously relaxed hair to protect it while relaxing.

yes castor and some s-curl works wonders

I've never "specifically" moisturized my new growth prior to a touch up. In fact, 2-3 days prior, I don't touch my hair

Thanks, Peachtree. I haven't been touching it too much. I just didn't want it to get too dry.
