Coating the entire head for Touchups.

[MissMeWithThatIsh]

Hello

I am heavily considering the idea if possibly texturizing... posters on this board with beautiful hair like Sareca's are tempting me...

However, I wanted to know if any of you ladies ever completely coated all of your hair with vaseline or any other base to protect the hair while processing? I remember Beyonce advised to do this when touching up the roots, and I've done it on "old growth?" before.

Do you think this would be effective?

I cant speak on the Vaseline idea, but I alway coat my hair with a cream moisturizer and a moisturizing conditioner before a touch up.

Thanks. Do you cover your entire head, including new growth?

I already add oil to the relaxer, but I still had a few straight parts. So after reading about JFM texture softener, I decided to try coating my hair in a thin oil before relaxing.

I've coated all of my hair before with vaseline, but now I'm finding that it's unnecessary.

I am curious about this too. bump,bump,bump!

I part my hair in quarters (think four ponytails)

Then base my scalp with vaseline, petroleum jelly or the base cream in the stores... whatever I have at the time.

After basing, I put conditioner in my hands and spread it on the hair in each section... just the strands, not the roots. That's it!

Thanks for the responses.
Perhaps coating the hair with a light oil as Sareca suggested would be nice.
