Damaging effects of relaxed hair

Damaging effects of relaxed hair

Rekeisha from Tampa, Fl asked: How do I know if my hair is damaged or not? What are the damaging effects of relaxed hair?

Rekeisha, this is a typical inquiry that many black women with relaxed hair have. There are a few red flags that should warn you that your relaxed hair is in trouble. First, split and dry ends result from chemical processing. If your ends are split, get them trimmed immediately, as they will continue to travel and cause more damage. Another warning sign is brittle hair. Over processed hair is typically dry and brittle. Brittle hair needs to be deep conditioned and nurtured in order to bring it back to life. Breakage or shedding is an obvious yet often overlooked sign of damaged hair. When you are losing more than usual, then it is time to assess your regimen. You will need a hard core protein treatment, and then a follow up with a moisturizing conditioner. This will need to take place consistently over several weeks. Take care of your relaxed hair as it is very delicate. Keep your hair moisturized and conditioned, and you can avoid the damaging effects of chemical treatments
