MANE MAINTENANCE
First of all, if you’ve been applying your own relaxers at home…stop! Only have your stylist do this, or you risk leaving the formula on your hair too long, or unevenly, and inflicting serious damage on your hair – even causing it to fall out. Also, since relaxed hair is usually dry and brittle, nourish thirsty tresses with tons of moisture. Use a bi-monthly deep conditioning treatment, and apply a dime-sized amount of oil throughout hair every day. Also, try to skip flatirons. Instead, towel-squeeze hair until it’s fifty-percent dry, blowdry, and then wrap your hair to create a sleek, straight look.
