Date Posted: December 28 2002 at 11:47am Hello.. I`m new to posting anything on this particular website... I have been coming by and reviewing posts.. My question is... I know african-american hair is supposed to be washed once a week... Now once doing that it starts to get alot of new-growth going on the second week of washing.. How are you able to style hair once this starts happening... What do you recommend me to do until my next retouch? ------------- See things for what they really are not what they appear to be... Replies: Posted By: Bridgette Date Posted: January 02 2003 at 8:43am Hey, Just replying to your question. I too experience new growth when i wash my hair the second or third week after my relaxer. I`m really not sure what tools you can use. I try to apply as little heat to my hair. I just keep my roots moisterized with Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil hair moisterizer. That way i can still keep my hair soft until my next relaxer. I know I wasn`t able to answer your question to the fullest but hopefully this will get others who are more knowledgeable about post-relaxer care to respond. :) ------------- Posted By: Mahogani Date Posted: January 07 2003 at 8:09pm Hi i`m new to this board too i wash my hair once a week with that i believe in conditioning the hair so i shampoo my hair 2x sometimes 3x then i use a deep conditioner by st. ives hair repair intensive conditoner it`s bontanical and it tingles your scalp feeling fresh and clean i put a plasic cap on and sit under a dryer for 45 min then i wash it out and apply a condioner that goes with the shampoo that you used . then i use thermal silk conditoner with thermal beads keep that on for 5 min wash out. then i use infusium 23 leave in conditoner proceed to roller set my hair . oil my scalp then wrap my hair. to summerize the key is condiontioning to keep your scalp soft and managable and keep away from thos curling irons. ------------- mahogani
