Hello beautiful ladies of LHCF,
I'm new to the forum and I just wanted to thank you all for changing the life of my hair. I never imagined that my hair could get anywhere near the length of any of yours but now I have hope, lol. Ive been reading and learning new things daily - barely getting anything done at work
but its so worth it. So my question is about moisturizing. I am relaxed, I usually relax every 5 or 6 weeks.. I am now at 6 weeks and plan to go another 6 weeks since i've been here
. Its so funny that I always thought I could absolutely never go 1 day over 6 weeks or I would be a HOT mess, but i've been deep conditioning my hair 2x or 3x a week, you cant even tell that i need a relaxer after I flat iron..I know the flat iron is bad for me but I need to use it sometimes, I havent made all the correct changes yet but i will get there slowly. so daily moisturizing and sealing with oil?? how do you do this without leaving your ends looking crazy?? I had flatironed hair, i moisturized the ends with neutrogena silky touch(recommended by lorraine) and seal with castor oil or olive oil, and wrap my hair.. The next morning my ends look crazy, like i need to flat iron again, but i dont want to bcuz thats too much heat. Im now wearing a half wig, which i love but I still want to know how you guys do this and wear your hair straight afterwards. So I don't know if im doing something wrong. I didnt use alot, but I know the hair has to get enough so it penetrates the shaft. so any advice, please school a newbie

I had the same problem w/ NTM but I now use AG Fastfood and when I do seal I use castor oil also. My hair/ends are always in good shape after using this. HTH
