Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up
Lord help me, I am 9 weeks post this Sunday and my hair is acting up! Since I used the last of my Paul Mitchell products last week, I thought I could save myself some dough and I broke out the shampoo and deep conditioner from Shea Moisture's Raw Shea Butter line and see if my hair likes it...and it doesn't! Big time!
Fortunately I'm not shedding, but for the first time in months I am seeing little broken hairs everywhere and it is freaking me out! I suspect that it was the masque/deep conditioner that's the culprit; my hair felt fine after the shampoo, but when I applied the deep conditioner and sat under the dryer, that's when the problems began. Instead of feeling soft and moisturized like it does with my regular DC, it felt rough, like I baked in some flour or something. Detangling was a NIGHTMARE; thank God I'm patient and I have my detangling routine down pat, or else I would have lost a cat-sized ball of hair in the process. M&S was a mess; my hair kept drinking the moisturizer up and spitting out dry, crunchy roots, no matter how much I applied. It was the worst wash I have had in two years. I will not be purchasing that DC again. And I was so disappointed, since the restorative elixir from that line works so well as a sealer for me.
Oh well, thank goodness I had only purchased the transition kit (on sale no less), so I used up all of the DC and most of the shampoo; next wash I will use up the rest of the shampoo and the regular conditioner (hopefully it will be better than the DC!) and on payday I will trudge back to the JCP salon to pick up some more Paul Mitchell product. I can't risk any setbacks in the 3 weeks before I relax, as I am flying to New York at the end of the month and I want a cute fresh relaxer for my trip.

, your hair doesn't look bad but your experience sounds horrible, i don't know why they use those terrible rat teeth combs
and the checkout clerk tried to tell my butt she had problems too.
