| My daughter last had a relaxer touch up in March, she thought about growing it out, but she wants me to start back with the relaxing. Should I just give her a touch up or give her a full relaxer? |

You only want to give her a touch up on the new growth. A full relaxer will damage her ends that would still have relaxer on them. You would only give her a full relaxer if you plan on cutting off the permed ends she has now. ------------- Life is a journey, Enjoy the ride. |

I totally agree with Yolligirl, I would only do a touch-up. Otherwise a full application will cause damage, breakage, etc. ------------- ThAbAdDeStBaBy http://public.fotki.com/ThAbAdDeStBaBy3 - http://public.fotki.com/ThAbAdDeStBaBy3 Hair Goal: BSL by late 2007-early 2008 Hair now: net weave w/EP-RT |

Definitely only retouch her newgrowth. Even though the hair was last permed in March, any hair after the demarcation line is still relaxed and retouching the entire length will cause damage and breakage for sure. ------------- ~~  LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~
