OMG...is there still relaxer in my hair???

[CheerBear]

My hair feels really funky....only on the growth that just got relaxed though..it feels chalky and rough, now, I dont know what is going on, it isnt breaking or shedding . I have been tryin to moisturize it and nothing is really helping right now..What the heck should I do????

Maybe you should try washing and neutralizing it again to be safe. How long ago did you get your relaxer? I hope everything works out.

Leave the neutralizer in for at least 5 minutes before washing out. It may take a while for your new growth to react to products --- hopefully it isn't overprocessed. I think at this point it might be better to focus on your scalp (because of the burning experience). It might be the reason why your newgrowth is so rough. Make sure to treat your burns with neosporin and the rest of your scalp with good moisturizers -- see if that makes a difference in your hair.

I agree with everyone else. It may have just been relaxed too much and is overly dry. Usually if it was left in your hair would be coming out. I had that happen to me and I was able to pull on my hair and it would just slide right on out
