It is not recommended to relax damaged hair because it will cause further damage. You can however cellophane your hair because most cellophane treatments contain protein and make your hair healthier.
It shouldn't be needed, but you can; however, do not do it shortly after as the hair is already somewhat damaged from being relaxed.
YES! I've had three different stylist decide without telling me to use cellophane on my hair with the same result. SEVERE breakage! I am Black and do not use relaxer at all. After the cellophane treatment, it looks as though it has been relaxed with waves instead of curls. My hair then breaks and the only thing that can be done is cutting it off and allowing new hair to grow. The first hair dresser denied that it could be the cellophane but maybe hormones. The second and third said the same thing. But why does my hair grow back and does well until the cellophane treatment is applied?
No relaxed hair cannot become texturized. Once the hair is relaxed is permanently damaged and cannot be reverted back to a curlier or kinkier texture.
I have been a hairdresser for 13 years and I have seen that cellophane doesn't cause damage in fact it gives shine to hair. It is also used as a way treat damaged hair. Most cellophane products contain protein. The hairdresser is definitely correct. Cellophane coats the outside of the hair, causing no damage and is a great conditioning agent. It is not like dye in the sense that dye actually goes to the inside of the hair shaft.
You really cant make relaxed hair curly, you have to have natural curly hair. Don't try anything you can damaged your hair really badly putting to many chemicals in it, trust me I have tried
Can cellophane hair treatment treats burn hair from coloring hair
Anything you can do as you would with your natural hair, but MUCH more carefully as your hair is already somewhat damaged from relaxing it in the first place.
A cellophane hair treatment is meant to last about 8 to 12 weeks, so it can be repeated about every two months. It actually uses no cellophane, but utilizes a temporary hair color that provides shine and fullness.
You can straighten your hair whether or not it is relaxed.
No
Keratin treatments will not work on already relaxed hair. Applying this treatment to relaxed hair could result in breakage and damage to your hair.
The answer is yes & no. No matter if you have natural hair or relaxed hair if you don't take the time to properly care for it will be unhealthy. There are benefits to natural hair and relaxed hair but it really depends on your preference. Choose the option that best for you.
