Damaged Relaxed Hair

[NiseMarie]

Hey guys! I recently cut, bleached, colored and stripped my hair while following with a recolor and relaxer. All within 2 weeks, I know it sounds crazy but I tend to do this very often and when my hair gets too bad I shave it all off and regrow. My hair grows extremely fast and in a year and a half it’ll be back down my back but I’m not looking forward to another big chop. I’m wondering if there’s any hair products that would help bring my tight curls back or something close to how my hair was.

No. The answer is NO. You cannot reverse a relaxer especially if it was LYE based which I’m going to assume it was. That was an incredible amount of damage to do to your hair in a very short period of time, frankly I’m surprised your hair didn’t melt off.

I had straighten my hair sooooo much with flat irons I lost my curls, I had to baby step cutting my hair. I cut an inch or more off every 2 weeks and it made a difference my hair got healthy and it helped my hair grow. Its no way around it you will need to cut the perm off.

There is noting you can do to bring your curls back after relaxing it. You will just have to chop it off and start over.

If you're thinking about a treatment, I love olaplex for my curls. Also love the kerastase serum. Styling products are a totally different game!!

Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector Pre-Shampoo Hair Repair Treatment 8.5 oz / 250 mL

KéRASTASE - Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum

Also honorable mention for some new brands we just launched this year that specialize in nourishment and repair. I have not tried yet, but just ordered the mousse from mizani.
