Retouching your new growth at 20 weeks post relaxer
I have been waiting for this day. My new growth was ready for a touch up. Stretching for 20 weeks was enough, because my new growth needed to be laid. Step 1 | protect the scalp When I was done with detangling my hair and sectioned it in four parts, I based my scalp with DAX Vegetable Oils Pomade for a protecting layer.

Wash day | July 23!
Wash routine relaxed hair aka texlaxed hair Since my relaxer I noticed more hair falling out than normal – shedding & breakage – .

Pre-poo treatment Before washing my hair I started with an oil treatment. I made a mix of Coconut oil with 1 tps. Olive oil. The oil was applied all over my hair and scalp. I love using an oil for my pre-poos. I did this treatment more than 2 hours.
