Hi Ladies, I'm new here and I have already learned so much from this forum!!! Praise the Lord for this website!!!!

my last relaxer was on August 3rd and I'll be relaxing my hair again at the end of December or begining of January(this is the longest I've gone without a relaxer) and I'd like to know if I should use a protein conditioner right after the relaxer. I've been relaxing my own hair for a while, but always using the no-lye kits and now I'm going to try a lye relaxer(motions).
Should I use a protein treatment right after a relaxer, or should I wait a few days or weeks before doing it?

Thanks a lot

I'm happy to be a part of this forum

WELCOME.

I do a protein treatment one week before and one to two weeks after my relaxer.

Welcome

After my no lye, I would use a light protein conditioner (Motions Silk Protein) 3 days later. I used the kit conditioners during the touch ups.

Thank you for the tips. I thought that I had to do a protein treatment right after the relaxer. I had a hairdreser that applied the affirm 5 in 1 as an after relaxer treatment, but then ai was using affirm no-lye.

Let us know how it goes. Best wishes
