RELAXER QUESTION -NEED HELP!

[peacelove]

Hi ladies -

I have a problem. I need a relaxer asap. I have major breakage in the front of my hair where I have lots of new growth. The problem is I have been moisturizing my hair a LOT with a PCA, carrot oil and water mix. My concern is that my hair has too much product in it and the perm may not take. What have been your experiences with this? I could wash my hair and wait another week, but I really don't want to wait another day because of the level of new growth. I am going to break off more hair the more I wait.

What do you all think? TIA!

I say if you are that concerned then do it...relax it. I'm sure it'll take. It's not like you can wait any longer right? Maybe some others will chime in.

No I really can't wait, but if my hair is underprocessed it will be for the second time. I would rather wash it if I know it won't relax because of all the product in my hair.

So weigh your options... Deal with 1 week of breakage or deal with underprocessing which will lead to even more breakage in the long run... I think youre better off waiting a week.

Maybe I should clarify - I guess my question is has anyone relaxed successfully after using daily moisture for several days like a mango butter, scurl or something like that. That would help me decide which way to go.

Yeah maybe you should just clarify and deep condition and wait another week if possible. I am concerned about your breakage. If your hair is already breaking then a chemical may make it worse.

That is so funny - when I said clarify, I actually meant clarify my question - LOL! But thank you for the feedback. I am gonna have to do the perm. The lack of perming is the cause of the breakage - no doubt about it.

I think I am just going to wait a day more and not put any product on my hair.
