A deep conditioning treatment can help with damage, but the best and most effective thing to do is to get a haircut. Even a slight trim will help.
When your hair is relaxed and overprocessed.
You can straighten your hair whether or not it is relaxed.
The term "fried hair" usually refers to hair that has been overprocessed with the use of heated styling tools, hair dye, hair bleach, or other chemical hair treatments. It basically means severely damaged hair.
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.
You have two options. To grow it out or cut off the relaxed hair.
That depends on how frequently you do it. You hair does not become "un-relaxed" after time. You have to touch-up the newgrowth & if you want your hair "out," you have to cut your hair.
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.
I also have relaxed hair and I make extra sure I stay away from anything with alcohol or sulfates. Relaxed hair NEEDS sulfate free shampoos so it can stay smooth and not dry out!
yes
Not necessarily; there are people with natural hair who simply have slow growth & it is actually very possible to have healthy relaxed hair. Growth has to do with genetics, vitamins, & hair care.
It better to use 20 vol or less on relaxed hair. Anything higher might be too strong, and can cause damage to hair.
