Even if you are a professional hairdresser, some of the various chemical treatments used to alter the texture of curly or wavy hair can be confusing. Although I have taken several classes in both chemical relaxing and straightening, I still continue to learn more tips every single day. When you chemicallly relax your hair i have found that it is very important to take care of your hair..Not everyone will use the same kind of products. Depending upon your hair type and style, you’ll need to use either a spray leave-in conditioner or a creamy leave-in conditioner. These will just re-inforce the moisture in your hair that will allow you to go through the rest of the week with moisturized hair. Remember to seal in this moisture with a little bit of serum when you’re styling your hair.
for FINE hair i suggest using Redken Smooth Down detangling cream, for a leave-in product use outshine and glass mixed together then blow dry and smooth with flat iron.
for MEDIUM hair I suggest using Mizani butter treat..for a leave in product and styling aid use
Redken Sleek Obidence. Its great to smoothing ends inbetween shampoos!
for COURSE hair I suggest using Mizani Coconut Souffle ..also Mizsani Silkening and Curling Wax is a great leave stying aid for extra smoothing on edges and in betweeen shampooing(also excellent for hair that is color treated)
for extra hold - any of Redken sprays of Mizani hairsprays are good for keeping your style in place.
Mizani Shyne- is an awesome bodifying sheen spray for extra moisture in between shampooing..
Finally, remember to keep your hair trimmed regularly. Healthy hair and split ends do not work together. It may be painful to start trimming your hair regularly as it may seem as though you are losing length but I promise you that if you keep it up, you’ll actually will have more length in the long term.
