4a/4bs transitioning or stretching relaxers...

I think I've found my MIRACLE PRODUCT!!! My daughter's hair just go relaxed after being 4 months post relaxer. Her roots were MAD thick. This is a good thing, but can be a potential problem for breakage at the demarcation line. My mother was combing her hair for church and complained that she couldn't get the comb through her hair because it's so thick and tangled and how she was gonna lose hair. She smoothed the surface and put it in a bun for church. This was frightening to me as I didn't want my child's hair efforts going down the drain. Then, I had an epiphany!!!!
What if I use the Better Braids UnBraid spray on her roots as a detangler and comb it out? WHAT!!! That worked like a charm. Not only was her hair detangled, but it soft as silk! I kid you not. You must try this. It will give you a very moisturized feel to your hair. This is NOT for those who wear their hair down. Then again, I'm sure if you've gone a long period of time without a relaxer, you probably won't be wearing it down, but in a protective style, right?
Last night as I was taking down my braids, I was able to get a comb through my 4 months of new growth without a hitch! (No pun intended
) My hair felt like silken cords. This will be of my product staples for sure... especially when I've gone long periods of time with no relaxer. Give it a try, you may be pleasantly surprised.
This is what it looks like ( I hope you can see the pic!)

I use this on my hair as I take my braids out but never thought to use this on my new growth. Will give this some serious thought when my daughter comes out of her braids.

You don't even have to wait until you're taking out braids. It works for those times when you can't get a comb through your hair due to all the new growth.

Doing it my way
Thanks for the heads up! I think I've seen this product on the shelf. My poor daughter would seriously appreciate this product. Her last touch-up was Easter. I've been doing well with stretching her relaxer, but right now she's at the point where she literally clinches her teeth before the comb even touches her head. I shall give it a try! Maybe even see how it works on my comb-outs in the shower.

That sounded like my daughter... as gingerly as I would comb her hair. This was a real lifesaver. Tangles slip right out!

I did use that stuff a long time ago when I wore braids. It was nice for detangling. Hmmm, I told myself I wouldnt try to go past 8 weeks for a relaxer bc last time I went to 10.5 and my hair was snapping at the demarcation line. I have some breakage at the crown thats a little over an inch long
but I wonder if I used this stuff if it would help?

See how your new growth feels after using it. That'll help you make your decision.

Thanks so much for the tip! I think I'll give this a try. I was thinking of trying S-Curl to help with new growth, is it better than that?
