I don't know if I'm telling everyone something they already know.
I have 6 weeks of new growth and I usally would relax by now but I'm trying something new here. In experimenting to find ways to soften my mostly 4b growth I have discovered that if I part my hair in rows (like when you get a touch up) and apply a little of the UBH mosturizer to the new growth only it flattens it out and just like that my "First lady poufy helmet hair is gone! I use the end of a rat tail comb to part and I smooth with my fingers. It really makes a difference.
I don't know if it will work with any other mosturizer creams or on different hair types but if it works for you good luck. I think this will really help me stretch to at least week 8 if not longer and my breakage is minimal though I will definitely have to wash by day 3.
