Ok, what now?

[Spicee1t]

Ok ladies, I was wondering what to to with my hair now. I had a touchup today and I would like to know what you all do to your hair the night that it has been relaxed, before wrapping it? I especially would like to know what I need to put on it, if anything, before I wrap it? Do you put something like Infusium or Giovanni Direct Stay-In or some type of moisturizer on it before wrapping or do you just put oil only on it then wrap? I'm afraid that if I put any type of moisturizer or cream on it (although I know that it's important to moisturize it, especially right after it's been relaxed)it will revert then I'll have to use my flat iron to straighten it the following morning. Can somebody please help me on this?

Thanks,
Tina

For my hair, I would put a dab of moisturizer on it (after I've wrapped it), and slap on a satin scarf.

For me, oils work best just after a touch up. I use a little coconut oil or WGO ad either wrap it, set it with soft rollers, or just pull it back in a bun w/ a satin scarf. I do use oil on my scalp after a perm, b/c my scalp always reacts poorly to the chemical and get dry and itchy.

Thanks ladies!

I recall reading in the book, Th Hair Rules, that it is a good idea to soothe the scalp with oils such as peppermint or tea tree, following a relaxer touch-up service.

I use oils on my hair right after relaxing. I also use the A and D Ontment on my scalp and new growth to soften and soothe my scalp.

I use mizani comfiderm scalp oil after a relaxer. It keeps my scalp from being so dry and it smells really great.

A little joboba oil throughout the hair just a dime sized amount. Tie it up and you are ready for bed!

I just had a touch-up on Tuesday. I usually just go ahead and wrap my hair, I dont put anything on it though, I have this complxe about putting any kind of hair moisturizer after my hair has dried. I love the light, clean feeling on my hair. Although when my hair is damp I'll put in a serum and leave-in so that seals in moisture.
