Re: ~~~The LHCF Guide to Healthy Relaxed Hair~~~
I don't wear a swim cap so I coat my hair with conditioner to reduce the amount of chlorine it is exposed to.

@ afrochique
Thank you! When you go swimming do you have you hair styled a certain way? (Bun, braided up) Also do you add conditioner the day of the swim class?

I wear either a bun or one braid. I put the conditioner right before I leave the house to go swimming.

Thanks!
Here's a pic of what I use. Ion has a leave in specifically for swimmers that I sprayed before and after I swam.
I drenched hair with a cheapie conditioner & let it dry out. Then I sprayed with swimmers spray. Then I put in a loose bun toward back center of my head. Then I placed the wave cap on. Then the blue silicon cap over it! Worked like a charm. Removed when I got home sprayed hair down then shampooed with ion swimmers shampoo then added a cheapie conditioner to leave in until I start again.

Any recommendations for a moisturizing DC after neutralizing a relaxer?
I used to use replenishing pak but it weighs my hair down.

@ karenjoe -  welcome!
Thanks for checking out my album and the compliments!
I relax every 15-16 weeks right now. I'm ending this relaxer stretch on Friday. Can't wait!

Re: ~~~The LHCF Guide to Healthy Relaxed Hair~~~
@ karenjoe - I'm currently on my longest stretch right now. I originally planned to relax Saturday right at the 16 week mark, but I have something to do, so I moved it to Friday.
I need to get off this computer and go do a dc, but I don't feel like it. Ugh! I guess I need to get to it.

@ karenjoe - I like to dc right before relaxing because it loosens up my newgrowth to allow for better relaxer application. Tonight I clarified (Suave Daily), moisture shampooed (Nexxus Therappe), and now I'm dc'ing (Nexxus Humectress).
I'm lucky because my scalp doesn't irritate easily, so I can get away with more stuff.

@ karenjoe - Yep, I do!
I usually shampoo 3 days before and cowash the night before to loosen up my newgrowth. Never had any problems.

Re: ~~~The LHCF Guide to Healthy Relaxed Hair~~~
I thought if you scalp was too clean relaxer would burn....
I scratched my scalp in a small spot 1 week before a relaxer. relaxer burned me & left a scar there for yrs.... 
... I'm normally not sensitive to relaxers,
do u use a no lye relaxer?
I use olive oil no lye & that never burn me
