Fine, Relaxed, Long Hair? Is it possible?

[Ramir4ik]

Looking for a rollcall of ladies who have fine, relaxed, long (APL or longer) hair. I have fine hair and recently relaxed. I know it is harder to retain when your hair is fine and relaxed, but is it possible?

If you are a fine haired relaxed lady with long hair, please state your regimen and what helps you retain.

Thank you! 🙂

It just usually needs gentler handling because fine strands physically tolerate less stress. The people I’ve seen succeed long-term with it are usually very consistent with low manipulation, protein-moisture balance, satin protection at night, & being careful with overlapping relaxer applications. Heavy oils/butters can also weigh fine hair down surprisingly fast!
