As black women some of us believe that (if you use relaxers for your hair) your hair is breaking or shedding because you need a relaxer. Well you're wrong if your hair is shedding or breaking it is not wise to apply a relaxer to your hair. Your hair will shed and break faster if you do relax your hair. My suggestion is to first het it cut even and avoid relaxers until your hair is strong and healthy enough to handle a relaxer. I suggest that you do a daily regiment whether it's greasing your scalp twice a week and find a good shampoo. Find out what works for you!!! I suggest ology at Walgreen for $5.99 each for the shampoo and conditioner. So if your hair is breaking STOP RELAXING! Until next time...
