Product to help underprocessed hair

[star]

I have a relaxer but some of my ends seem under processed or not straight. I am looking for mild product I can use in between relaxers that will help straighten my hair out. I have serums and gels that do work with flat ironing but I wish I could find a mild something I can use to help hair that is underprocess or unruly right now. I rather have the more permanent fixer to this problem then to use serums and flat irons every other day. Thanks

I'm wondering how your ends became underprocessed... Was this your first relaxer?

I have a similar problem. I think a while ago, I underprocessed several times between braids, so, in some places, I have hair that is underprocessed closer to the ends. It is all my fault because of the murder I used to do to my hair.

I have not done a corrective relaxer.

Long deep conditions with 10en1 have helped to soften those areas a bit and helped prevent reversion, but they are not totally straight.

The area used to revert bigtime when I would apply moisturizer creams and such. Now I don't have that problem so much.

I think the only way to remedy that is to get a corrective relaxer...that is what I had to do..before I did my ends were kinda a mess even after moisturizing real good and air drying my hair made it worse. My hair is way better now since the corrective relaxer.

Had it in a weave few years ago and started to get it relaxers hair dresser never pulled it through and she did really relax it good and thicker parts of hair suffer the most.

I had been putting in my own no lye relaxers for the last couple of years then in June/05 I relocated and decided to find a hairdresser and she put a lye relaxer on my hair..she had been saying that parts of my hair were different textures assuming due to the underprocessing I probably caused myself from the no lye relaxers. It wasn't until earler this month that she went on ahead and pulled the relaxer all the way down to the ends..she used Mizani but previously she had used Design Essentials...I like them both. My hair is way more manageable now and is not as dry as it use to be.

I used CurlAway (http://www.xenna.com/product_curlaway.html) to help control frizz when my hair was natural. It worked pretty well at smoothing the hair but it's temporary and you need to apply it several times to get any significant straightening. But I never noticed any damage from it.

Thanks ladies I think I am going to try Mizani hair relaxer and the curl away relaxer. I will try the curly away first then later put a lye relaxer back into my hair. I do think this my have come from no-lye box relaxers which only use 6 months last year from Affim just to change a little. Thanks again.!!!

Salerm 21 helps me detangle my underprocessed hair and NTM leave in helps to straighten it when I rollerset it.

How long should you wait after initial relaxer to get a corrective one?

I would say about a month.
