I posted this on another section of Hair Talk, but I decided to post it again, cause I really want some solutions if any.  Here's my dilemma.  I get relaxers approximately 4 times per year and everytime I get them I usually go through the same problem.  My hair is already fine/thin, but normally has lots of body. BUT after a fresh perm it looks extremely thin and limp  and lays nearly flat to my head on top and no matter how hard I try to avoid it, it tends to want to part on its on in weird areas.   I've been washing daily in hopes of getting my fine little http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=61764# - hair strands out of their current state of confusion from the freshly applied relaxer.  And still here I am...3 days after the relaxer and my hair is still laying thin and flat.   Eventually, it becomes much more cooperative (time frame varies) as the relaxer gets a bit "older" and I am able to work with it better and acheive better body, but is there anything to prompt this along? I have a trip planned in a few days. IF anyone has experienced this problems or knows what the problem is, could you please suggest a solution? Thanks alot.

maybe you should try stretching for a longer period to time and try and get relaxers only twice a year. Seems like you hair is overprocessed and needs a break.
