Relaxed Hair Thread

I love my relaxed hair last week was long and bone straight this week I'm doing shoulder length braid outs and twist outs. I love I can easily get the style I want :)
 
The hair forum has gotten so much calmer. I remember a year or two ago a member asked for flat iron suggestions because her daughter wanted to wear her hair straight and someone came in the thread and said please don't relax her hair. Like wtf?

I can't believe I'm alittle over a month post. I'm starting to see NG in the front of my hair, but nothing really any where else. Hopefully I'll see something after this inversion thing.
 
I posted this in another thread, but since I am relaxed it should probably here.

A few months ago I used a demi-permanent color (blonde) on my hair in order to change my almost black hair into a light brown. I was told that rinses and demi's weren't harmful by a stylist because they weren't permanent. Long story short, that wasn't the case. I lost hair by the clumps and had to cut from grazing bsl to nl and I am still battling the damage.

Question: I want to use a Redken Demi in black on my hair but wanted to know if it would cause even more damage? Or if it was safe to use because it's dying the hair darker and not lighter?

Thanks in advance! I need to dye my hair black because my dark brown roots always make my hair appear dirty no matter how clean it is

Thanks!

Yep, every 4-6 weeks, depending on when I feel motivated/have time. No issues with over-processing, my hair just behaves better when I relax often! I also use super moisturizing conditioner/deep conditioner.

LaurenMechelle, just curious, what's your hair texture?

I feel like women who get away relaxing that often but have hair as long as yours must have hair that's 2c-3b.

My natural texture? I don't really know, my hair has been relaxed since I was a little girl... Here's a pic of a couple months' worth of growth pre-relaxer. If I can find a picture of my relaxed hair in a wash n go style, I'll edit & post.

ETA: Attached a pic of my relaxed hair air-dried

PlainJane, sorry ur hair is coming out. Honestly, I would wait until your hair is semi back to normal. Are you sure that ur stylist used a Demi-perm color? Is ur protein/moisture balanced?

I just used a semi-perm & I used a mild protein a week before dying, right after I dyed & a week after I dyed. That might be too much protein for some, it really helped my hair. Of course I followup with a protein free conditioner.

I hope this helps.

Did she not DC after neutralizing?

SuchaLady, it doesn't seem like she did, but she did wash her hair again the next day. And I noticed that she leaves her relaxer in for 40min. I thought I was the only one that did that. I try to aim for 20-30, but my last texturizer I left on almost 40min:spinning:
