What Are Some Hair Masks For Relaxed Hair That Makes Your Hair Grow And Some Other Tips Besides

Why can't you go swimming with relaxed hair?

My daughter-in-law straightens her hair because it is curly but it tends to weaken the effects of the relaxer you have used if you get your hair wet in chlorinated water too fast. Chlorine probably interacts with the relaxer and when you get out of the
water and your hair starts drying, it may start curling again.

What my daughter-in-law does is use a good shampoo for chemically treated hair, follows up with a good daily type of conditioner (leave it in for about 3-5 minutes) and then she uses a big round brush while she is blow drying to straighten her hair back out again. I wouldn't think you would need a Chi iron in order to straighten your hair again. Remember that you also need to use a really good deep conditioning type of treatment on your hair anywhere from once a week to every ten days. Conditioner tends to relax straightened hair.

If this doesn't work as well as you would like, ask a salon professional how you can go swimming and keep your hair relaxed afterwards. I'm sure they can tell you exactly what to do to keep your relaxed hair straight after taking a dip in the pool.

And lastly, once your hair has been straightened, wait about three or four days to make sure the relaxer is doing what it is supposed to do and make sure it's 'set' before you go swim. It's like getting a perm...stylists tell you to wait a few days before getting your hair wet. This is supposed to allow the products to 'completely set.'

If you get your hair wet before the suggested amount of waiting time has elapsed, then it can weaken the chemical processing tremendously.

I hope that this has been of some help to you! Good luck! ☺

Does DAX help african hair growth??

No, DAX does not help african hair grow at all. There greases, no one should use grease by the way just oils, are to thick and clog the scalp preventing the normal secretions(sebum) that are suppose to condition and strengthen your hair.
I answered a question like this a few weeks ago I believe and I will just repost the answer.

assuming that you have relaxed hair, shampoo and deep condition with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Alternate weekly between a protein and a moisturizing conditioner, protein treatments help repair, strenghten, and fix damaged hair. Moisturizing conditioners add the needed moisture to black hair. Air dry your hair as often as possible to lock in moisture and prevent breakage, then apply a light scalp oil to your scalp and a moisturizer to your strands. On the days your not washing either spray with a light leave in conditioner every other day or apply a light moisturizer every day. Try not to comb so often also, that aids in the snapping of hair.
you should also wear your hair in protective styles, any style that needs little to no combing or brushing and keeps the ends of your hair off of your clothes.
You don't have to clip your ends every month if its healthy, that will just make your shorter, hair only grows about 1/2 an inch per month, and if you cut it every month then it results in negative hair growth. Your hair will be shoulder length forever. If you keep up with your hair and get it healthy you only have to cut it once every 3 months, sometimes i only cut twice a year, and my hair is just fine. Stay away from heat accessories as well; blow-dryers, flat-irons, and curlers really suck up the moisture in black hair which is natural already dry. Try not to do to many back to back protein treatments because that can actually break the hair off.

My hair doesn't grow, why?

I do not suppose it's particularly viable to make your hair develop quicker, however you might make it develop fitter. I have lengthy hair, and at a specific factor, it begins getting dangerous. Of direction, trims are imperative to hold your hair healthful, however be certain that you simply are not trimming your hair greater than it grows. You can constantly ask your stylist to only trim essentially the most minimum quantity whilst you pass in. For me, that is commonly simply part an inch. I additionally not often type my hair making use of a blow dryer or warmth. The extra you utilize the blow dryer and warmth along with your hair, the extra on the whole you need to get trims, and the slower it'll take to your hair to develop. I additionally wash my hair within the early night so it has time to dry at night time earlier than I need to be anyplace. I wash my hair each and every different day, on account that washing too on the whole will dry hair out. For the times I do not wash my hair, I simply clip it up within the bathe. Some new matters that I am making an attempt: Combing my rainy hair with a choose as a substitute of a broom on account that hair is extra fragile while it's rainy and the comb breaks hair less difficult. Good success!

My hair breaks off at the ends, and it feels fake in some parts. Is there anything I can do to fix that?

I am a hairdresser and I have a few suggestions. If your hair is breaking off then it is either dry and/or damaged. Here are a few tips:

1.Step up the quality of the products you are using. There really is a difference between salon grade shampoo and conditioners and Wal-mart brands. Salon brands are more expensive but you don't have to use as much so they last longer...therefore you come out even in the end.

2. Watch out for how tight you are wearing your ponytails or barrettes. Be care full they aren't breaking your hair. Never sleep in anything but a scrunchy.

3. Check your hair brushes to make the bristles aren't snagged on the ends. If they are the hair could get caught and cause breakage.

4. Do get a good TRIM every 3 months even if you are letting your hair grow. This keeps your hair healthy. Avoid at home coloring. Don't put anything in your hair that will dry it out like lemon juice ...peroxide etc.

5. Watch what you eat. Everything you eat becomes part of your hair including vitamins and minerals. Take a at least a daily multi vitamin to improve hair quality. Fruits and veggies are always good for skin and hair and so is lots of water!
