Applying relaxers to previously processed hair or leaving chemicals on for too long are two of the most common mistakes made when it comes to straightening, it will lead to damage, breakage and possible permanent hair loss. While home kits are easier and cheaper to use, they also make it easy to overprocess the hair. Not waiting the recommended time frame between touch-ups is another risky move to make, even if you must apply your own relaxers (and we don’t know why you would), have a trusted friend help you with back sections of the hair whenever possible. Better yet, though, save those pennies and see a stylist for the task. It’ll ultimately save you money because you won’t need as many treatments to rehabilitate your hair back to health.
To help combat overprocessed hair, use a protein treatment, followed by an intensely moisturizing conditioner.
