To prep for my relaxer touch-up I did the following:
- Pre-pooed with a Brazilian keratin conditioner for 30 minutes
- Clarified hair with SheaMoisture African Black Soap Deep Cleansing Shampoo
- Conditioned with Design Essentials Stimulations Super Moisturizing Conditioner
- T-shirt dried for 30 minutes
- Put on my leave-ins Eden BodyWorks Coconut Shea Leave-In Conditioner mixed with an argan oil serum
- Dried under my hooded dryer for 40 minutes
- My hair was still damp (the downside of thick hair) so I cross-wrapped it and went to bed
- Throughout the rest of the week, I used the Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioner and the argan oil serum to moisturize and seal. I also used tea tree oil on any spots on my scalp that started to itch.
To get my touch-up I went to the salon, this is the second time I've been there. There were a few things they did this time I wasn't too happy about - using a small tooth comb, blowing out my hair (the stylist didn't have her rollers with her), and flat ironing.
This was the first time in a while a stylist hasn't told me my hair felt dry so I must have done a good job moisturizing my hair over the last eight weeks. Despite the few things they did that I didn't like I do plan to go back again, only because I like the stylists, they listen to my concerns, and the first time I went I didn't have any issues with any of the tools used.
In addition to the touch-up I got a trim, but won't be able to do a length check until my next wash because my hair wasn't flat ironed straight.
My next relaxer touch-up will be in 12 weeks.
How was your most recent relaxer touch-up?
