Hi all,
I've been away from these boards for a while, but back again and ready to begin my healthy hair journey. I haven't relaxed my hair in 8-9 months because I was pregnant... and have worn weaves pretty much back to back. I didn't really take much care of my hair -- I'd wash it every 2 or 3 weeks and spray infusium 23 between the tracks once or twice a week when I remembered. Just before I found out I was pregnant I cut my hair in a very short style, maybe 2-2.5" tops, and now I have a thick crazy fro that I just let my stylist braid up and weave. I have no clue how much new growth I've got.
So now I'm seriously ready to take care of my hair, but not sure where to start . I didn't intend on going natural, but still breastfeeding so would prefer to stay chemical free. I'm considering wearing weaves, braids, etc but taking better care of my hair underneath. Anyone take this route? Tips would be appreciated.
Also, how long should you wait to press your hair after you take down an intall? I know they recommend a week or 2 for a relaxer, but is it okay to take a weave out and press the same day??
