Thank you for this post. I ran out this weekend and bought the shampoo and the conditioner to use post relaxer. It really helped. I decided to return to doing my own relaxers because my hair was healthier. I'm not sure what the stylist is doing, but something has gone wrong. So, I'm going to take care of my own tresses for a minute.
Thank goodness I read the post on Porosity Control BEFORE I relaxed. My hais is much softer. It's shiny and it just feels nice to touch. I didn't flat iron or use rollers, just returned it to a bun. I'm thinking about adding a few curls tomorrow.
So, with PC and my upcoming delivery of BT, I may be on the way to regrowing the inches that I've lost over the last few months. Here I was making progress to BSL and now I am grazing the shoulder, which EVERYONE knows is the hardest to move past. :
