It's been about 2 years since I recieved my first relaxer. I can remember the day. I was so nervous, yet excited to see the results. And it turned out great! It was down to my shoulder-blades, shiny, and a dark brown.
Now, these 2 years later, my hair has broken off to about my shoulders. The back is long somewhat but it is nothing like the condition it was before.
Of course I know relaxers are damaging and this is part of the inevitable tear of damaged hair... (and for those to whom this does not apply, what is your secret?!) But now, I am on the road to recovery. I have seen my errors, changed my ways, and am now traveling to that light- of healthy hair.
To aid in my travel, I recently bought Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Hair Lotion. I read that hair oil is too harsh on relaxed hair and it clogs the follicles (because I did love me some Magic Sheen...) but I'm hoping this will help take the place and add moisture. So far, my hair has improved in moisture. Though after I first apply it, my hair is a little...thick, I've noticed a great decrease in breakage. Or maybe that's just because I actually applied something to it...
Well, I'll see how it goes...It's been about a week since I've started using the lotion...
