Relaxed Hair Thread

Gabrielle.A
The brown could be a sign of porosity issue or the sun turning your hair brown. I confirmed this theory with my stylist. There was a thread on it. I will see if I can find it.

I had several brown patches before my recent haircut. I have another patch remaining. I will eventually chop it too. The brown hair has poor porosity and is always drier than the rest.
 
Thank you for bumping that red hair thread. I think I've figured out what's turning my hair brown. Someone wrote this:

Relaxers make my hair a reddish color and ACV rinses made it even worse. When I stopped them it got a lot better.

I don't think my hair is overprocessed and my hair is very non-porous but I do spend a lot of time in the sun.

This would make sense. I don't believe my hair turned brown before I started using ACV. It may also be the sun. I don't believe I'm overprocessed.

ETA: Or it could be due to the heat from my hood dryer (I rollerset weekly) or a porosity issue.

Did this last year on hair that was probably a little above APL and I used two jars.

I would definitely purchase two jars or a big tub for future use. I relaxed below shoulder length hair, above APL, and used what looked like more than ur average jar ( I bought a tub).

Has anyone ever relaxed the day after washing or cowashing?

lamaria211. When my hair is loose I'm a daily cowasher. As long as the hair is not damp you should be fine.

Mines doesn't be as straight as I ant it either, and if I wear a ponytail I still gave to use some type of control paste, jam or gel and that's the spot I get the relaxer put on first

Me to!! whether I was trying to get bone straight or texlaxed I still end up with this big poof of hair in the back where its supposed to be straight. Its like my hair is resistant to relaxers back there.
