when you use relaxer on hair.. it really does a number... chemical relaxer is "sodium hydroxide" drying out and creating breakage happens... the best way to keep you hair in good condition is to protect it... once a week you should use a deep conditioner. the best deep conditioners are ones you use with heat.. Matrix is a brand i have used on clients and its wonderful!!! not too expensive.. I'm sure you blow dry you hair and in addition with the chemical relaxer you probably use a straightener..

*before you blow dry use a wet heat protector

*before you use an iron use hair gloss... when you use these protects it burns the product not your hair

last you should buy good shampoo and conditioner, not form a retail store but a beauty store

good companies is Paul Mitchael, i use his products they are wonderful... a little expensive but its worth it!!!

Well, your hair would be much easier to style if you sleep on something made of silk. Like a silk pillow case and such. I just use a silk scarf and wrap it around my pillow. This technique really works, and is used by celebrities.

I wash and condition my hair every night. And that works out well for me. And by the way, what type is your hair? Is it straight, wavy, curly, or afro?
