I stretch relaxers for usually about 8 weeks. I'm right around 7 post right now give or take a few days. My new growth is wild and due to a big snafu with my last wash last night my hair was really tangled and dry.
What had happened was that after I did my regular pre poo dc then poo'd I lost my good comb.
So I had only marginally untangled hair and put it up best I could until I got a new comb yesterday. But by last night my hair was a dry tangled angry mess.
Here's what I did:
I use Freeman Papaya and Seaweed deep conditioner. Add a squeeze or two of Doogro oil (or if I have it jojoba oil), shake the tube.
Part your hair into a manageable section. I did my hair in six sections. Then I worked the mix of conditioner/oil and added a little Profectiv break free into the roots and new growth. I untangled with my fingers first, then with two combs until I got it tangle free. I then used a bigger dollop of the conditioner, with an extra squirt of oil, worked it through that section, made a mini bun with terry cloth elastics.
I did that all over my head, made sure I sealed the ends. Tied it up for the night I got up this morning it looked like I'd either relaxed or did a really good job with a straightner of some sort.
Bonus my hair is soft, shiny and silky.
However, if your hair is thin this would probably be too much for it. My hair is extremely thick and thirsty usually and this did a wonder. I was about in tears when I started combing my hair out last night because the new growth was so tangled and I was really afraid I was going to break out big chunks.
I'm putting this in my LCHF journal for reference so I don't forget.
