okay i just got a touchup 7 days ago and I'm ready to wash my hair. My hair is very fine and neck length. The only products I've been putting on my hair since my touchup has been daily moisturizing cremes (sheamoisture shea butter) and my sealing oil. I've also baggied once this week w/ (QP mango butter).

So my question: Is there a real need to clarify for the first wash after a new touchup? Or should I just go straight to my moisturizing shampoo? What do some of you relaxed girls do when it's time to wash ur hair after a new touchup?

When I had a relaxer and I got it from a professional stylists, I washed my hair as soon as I came home. For many reasons:
 
Some of the drying spritz that they spray on your hair
To remove the chemical aroma from the salon
Also, to do the style I wanted, instead of the style they tried to do.
 
I always used Motions Lavishing shampoo for my hair, it moisturizes very well.  Umm lets see, I clarified then followed with a moisturizer.
