So your hair should NOT revert if you are relaxed

right? even with humidity, rain ?

If you are relaxed bone straight, probably not. But texlaxed people like me, humidity and water can make it poofy.

I agree. Moisture will just expose any remaining kink and curl in your hair. Just like if you are natural and have your hair pressed straight.

It depends on how straight you hair is. My hair is about 70%, and it could puff up if I expose it to humidity. But ever since I found my Aveda anti-humectant, I haven't had to worry about that!

No matter what I did when I had a relaxer, my hair was never straight. I had to blow dry, hot comb and use a curling iron for my hair to stay straight. I still don't understand how I kept a head full of thick, shoulder length hair. I went natural in 98 and never looked back. Much easier and have much more hair.

I switch to lye relaxer and it did not agree with my hair. Im now underprocessed and it is difficult to have a silky hair do. It reverts in no time. I am going to try Aveda or just switch to nolye and relax the full head. I know it is a nono but as a corrective??

same here. my hair always had a crinkle in it and would frizz up in humidity no matter how strong the relaxer was and how long it stayed on.

My relaxed hair has always reverted in humidity. It would be easy for me to have a nice afro puff.

The Aveda Anti-Humectant does help as well as the Aveda Brilliant serum (with frizz).

Thanks Lala for the reminder. I would love to try this to see how much better it works. Can one buy it in a store, or just online?

ETA: I just checked at www.sabinohair.com. It looks like they changed the name to Sabino's Moisture Manager and it must be ordered online. Interesting information there.

I just fully relaxed my virgin hair July 3rd with the beloved Phyto (left in for 30 minutes, index II) and have washed it once since and I noticed it starting to curl back up on the ends.....and I have always had this problem.....So I guess some peoples hair is just like that

Ditto. I relaxed my hair HARD and regardless, it would poof up and laugh at me.

Luckily for me, it's sold at the salon where my Mom works. If your stylist can't order it for you, I'd try to buy it online.

Thank you. I'll probably order online.

Me too. When I was relaxed my hair was still curly and it reverted in humidity, rain, everything, so I figured what's the point of relaxing,
