Regime Question for Relaxed Ladies

[soaries]

Do you find that you have to change products according to how many weeks old your relaxer is?

 

[KinksnCurlz]

No, not me. I personally stick to what I know and like. I only change if it stops working and that hasn't happened in a while.

 

[Gldspoon]

No...from week one to week 12 I use the same products the same way and they work for me just the same everytime!

I use the same products for the first half of the relaxer (usually 4 weeks) and then I switch from the leave-in conditioner to deep conditioner and I use additional moisturizers to tame the new growth on the final week.

I need more oils to tame my new growth. Otherwise, regimen is the same.

I change my regime alot depending on how close I am to touch up time.

Conditioners with more slip and easy on the protein when there's lots of newgrowth.....the line of demarcation between the new growth and the straightened hair DEAMND moisture and slip...

I also tend to want more clarifying shampoos at this time to make sure my scalp (where the curlier hair is) gets clean - easier for build to collect in my curls than in freshly touched up roots.

I wear my hair curly more often than not when I need a touch up - so I use more styling products too - mousse, styling creme, serums, curl spray....

I've got no choice but to switch up. My hair is so coarse I have to change shampoos and maybe even certain conditioners closer to touch up time.

Ditto here! I also break out the Profectiv Root Health around week 4 and do more conditioner washes to soften the new growth.

 

[LondonDiva]

Now isn't that root health a god send. It softens up the new growth really well.

 

[JenJen2721]

Yes, it is a god send. And just think, I would not have tried this product had you not given it a

. Good looking out!!!

 

[LondonDiva]

Aww well you know if it's a profectiv product I gotta push it.

 

[adrienne0914]

no, i use the same products all the time. the only reason i switch up is because of curiosity about something new. i'm trying to get that under control because my hair pays the price when i experiment...

 

[CurlyCrly]

Nope.

 

[smooches]

<font color="orange">Yes, when it's closer to touch-up time I like to use the profectiv leave-in (purple tub) after every wash or rinse. I also moisturize with s-curl or care free curl gold and mango butter. </font>

 

[Allandra]

Nope, not me.

 

[soaries]

Thanks ladies! All my products work good when I get my touch up, but when my new growth starts coming in I have to switch.

 

[pebbles]

I don't find that I need to change my products either.
