Last November my hair was underprocessed. I babied it at first to prevent breakage. Eventually,I went back to my normal habits, which were actually pretty good. Then, I decided to stretch my relaxer from the usual 12 weeks to 6 months.
The first thing that I told the stylist was that she had underprocessed my hair previously - especially in the right side. Her response was that she would begin on the right to make sure it was nice and straight. She did a nice job with all the new growth....but I still have a problem.
My hair is now straight for 3 inches near the roots, then textured where it is underprocessed , and then straight again. I'm wondering if I should try to straighten the underprocessed section. I worry that the texture change will lead to breakage. I'm also concerned that trying to do a corrective will cause breakage.
She used Affirm relaxer ,which I have been using for years. I just realized that I can buy some from amazon. I don't have any experience doing relaxers, but I think that this would only need a quick touch up.
