Shampoo and conditioner, create your basic wash routine
It’s best to have a routine that caters to your hair when you are taking care of your relaxed hair at home. Finding a routine aka regimen for my hair hasn’t been an easy road, but the outcome to sticking to a routine did wonders. I mean, before my hair journey my new growth was soft & stiff and know I’m able to stretch my hair for 20+ weeks.

July; retouching my new growth with ORS No-Lye Relaxer
It’s time for the creamy crack! I’m fighting with myself when I’m styling my hair. Being 20 weeks post relaxer is getting exhausting. With my next stretch I’m going back to 16 weeks of stretching. As always for retouching my new growth I used ORS No-Lye Relaxer.

Clarifying wash treatment for relaxed hair!
clarifying wash treatment
We have entered a new month, so it’s time for a clarifying wash treatment. I like to use an clarifying shampoo once a month to get rid of all the build-up and dirt from the environment. This time I skipped using a scrub to detox my scalp, because I didn’t had much time.
