Hi Ladies,
I'm trying to revamp my regimine for 2007. Last year, I got two relaxers during the year, but that meant using a blowdryer to get my roots straight. I can stretch with no problem (and minimal heat for 4 months). After that, I find that I need to use heat more often.
I was thinking of getting three relaxers a year instead of two (that would be stretching for 4 months at a time). I think this could be healthier because I wouldn't be using heat much at all, which I feel might aid in overall length retention.
The only reason I'm hesitant is because my hair is fine, I texturize, and I'd hate to risk overprocessing. Also, I've been stretching for a minimum of 5 months for the past two years, and I've never had hair this thick since I've been relaxed.
What do you think I should do?
