I relaxed my hair today for the first time after 5 years.
I am now making a list of what to add for my regimen. I watched Dolce Dawn’s video and so far I have decided to get olapex #3 for protein treatments.
Any suggestions for what to use for daily moisturizer?
Okay perfect thank you! I will check out the other thread as well.Congratulations!
I feel hair board old school when I say this but I use cheapie moisturizing condish as a daily moisturizer (Suave, Tresemme, etc.).
Usually it's condish+water/tea in a spray bottle or as a creamier mix in a bottle.
You'll probably also get more suggestions in the Relaxed Hair Thread:

For detangling: Purology Color Fanatic saved my hair. I thought I was going to have to shave it off at one point. I've heard so many good things about this leave in and I've had it in my basket for a long time. Finally bought it and yes it is lovely, the hydration is evident. I sprayed it...longhaircareforum.com
HI! Naturalpride is right I no longer relax, but I used to use ORS no lye box relaxer. That was my go to. The photo in my siggy is from my relaxed days!what relaxer did you use?
Your hair looks beautiful!HI! Naturalpride is right I no longer relax, but I used to use ORS no lye box relaxer. That was my go to. The photo in my siggy is from my relaxed days!
Thanks!Your hair looks beautiful!
When did you stop relaxing and how long has it been?
Yup, I've decided to do a yearly or at the very least 6 month contract with relaxing. Every 6 months to a year is when I decide if I want to renew my relaxer contract@secretdiamond

That sounds frustrating.
Six months is a really good stretch though! You could join me in the Rare Relaxers section.![]()
I relax 1-3 times a year, depending on the year. I think I've already recruited my hair cousin @ItsMeLilLucky
Using heat to stretch is a great technique! ANDDD, if your length is relaxed, you'll have to worry less about reversion and you can use a lower heat setting. I debated long and hard last year about becoming a heat loving natural and that's what did me in. All of the work that has to be done to get my hair styled or straightened, only for it to poof up the minute I step out of the house.
Right now, my hair is short so I completely relate to the feeling when the new growth seems to easily overpower the relaxed portion. lol
Plan to relax in the next week or so. Will do a hard protein to prep my hair for it.Sometime Mid August

@LushLoxI'm doing a K18 treatment course, I know that this hasn't worked for some of us but I like K18 and my hair has a very immediate and positive reaction to it.
@LushLox....
Lush - what do you like about K18 and what positive reactions (benefits) do you feel your Hair is experiencing? I have 'thought' about buying/trying this at some point.
ETA: What all are you using? The Mask, Leave-In, Mist?
@LushLox
When/If I do decide to buy-try, maybe I'll just start off with the Leave-In as well.
So do you "Condition" before applying the L-I?
The directions say, Shampoo - Do Not Condition and apply L-I. Is the L-I in place of a Conditioner? I found that to be interesting?
I'm not sure I can skip Conditioning/Deep-Conditioning?At least a R/O
Okay...so I read up on it a little bit. So you apply it and wait at least 4 minutes before applying your other products correct?
