A hairdresser burnt some of my hair off in a small spot about 6 months ago now whenever I get my relaxer touched up it is sensitive and loses hair easily in that spot. Is there a product I can use to encourage the hair to grow back there stronger?

I mean she burnt it with the relaxer so it's bald in that spot.

Well, you can take a break from relaxers until it grow back. That will be a fragile area and you will need to take good care of it. I don't know of any products that will work, but it should grow back. Sorry. Did you pay her? I would find another stylist, one that is concerned about the health of your hair, as well.

I did pay her. I didn't notice the spot until I came home. It was really tiny.

Organic Root Stimulator Hair Serum it's in a small brown w/ yellow bottle. It runs about $8.99+ though but it really works for bald and thinning areas.

I've heard that Nexxus Biotin Creme works wonders. It is alittle pricey for a small jar (11.00), but I think you can find it at ebay for cheaper. You may want ot try some essential oils like rosemary and peppermint. They are both very stimulating. Doing daily massages to your scalp will help alot and help heal that area.
