Relaxer Question..

[Curlybeauty]

So my sew-in needs to come out because I am going to get a relaxer on saturday. However, I need to do a protein treatment...bad. My uestion for you is, should I Take my weave out NOW and wash and do the aphogee 2 step..OR..should I just wait to get my relaxer and do the 2 step on my next wash?

I'm going back to relaxers after 6 yrs, so this will be a "virgin" perm. I'm not sure if I should be washing my hair so close to getting a perm or not. But my hair needs to be cleaned bad..and detangked too. And with natural hair...that can't be done on dry hair. Or atleast not for me.

Suggestions please.

Hi Curly...I would recommend doing it before the relaxer but you are cutting it close (timewise)...try not to manipulate your scalp too much (use the balls of your fingers - gently versus your nails) - especially with the protein treatment and the fact that you getting a virgin relaxer...

HTH...

I thought that you were supposed to wait a week or two after removing a weave to get a relaxer? You should definitely scroll though the threads for this info.

Can't you reschedule your appointment since you'll be cutting it so close? Your hair will be somewhat weaker after a sew in so I wold definitely wait at least a week before relaxing and before that a protein treatment is a must. My mum didn't do that at her touchup and her hair suffered for that.

Yeah she said that she is hesitant about doing it so close...and now I will be seeing her on monday to do it....so no i'm off to the store to get my aphogee! Thanks..

Please be careful. Your hair has been weaved up a long time. You may be asking for trouble without waiting and allowing your hair to rest. I don't want to see you lose 6 years of progress.

Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Be sure to detangle thoroughly before washing to avoid severe matting. You will have a lot of shed hair that needs to come out depending on how long you've had the weave.

better safe than sorry. you should let your hair rest for a while before applying your relaxer.i'd deff do a protein treatment before you relax your hair. Something very light, like an aphogee 2min re- constructor . then wait and relax your hair. id wait 2 weeks.
