Post Relaxer Regimen

With my day off from work, I've decided to apply my post-relaxer hair regimen, using the Joico K-Pak Line:

- I shampooed my hair with the Joico Reconstruct Shampoo

- I followed it with the Joico's Deep Penetrating Reconstructor; I applied the contents to my wet hair combed through with a wide-tooth comb and placed a plastic cap over it.  The next, I sat under a pre-heat dryer for ten minutes, and later rinsed out.

- I then applied the Joico's K-Pak Moisture Intense Hydrator with plastic cap and left it in for ten minutes.

- After rinsing, applied the following leave-in:

- Kenra's Daily Provision

- Joico's K-Pak Reconstruct Leave-In

- Salerm Silk Protein Leave-In

 

I comb through my hair and sit under the hooded dryer for an hour and allow my hair to air dry afterwards.

Relaxer Update

After relaxer touch up and conditioning, here are unedited photos as how my hair now looks after a five month stretch.

Relaxer Touchup

 As of Saturday, October 5, 2013, I have given my hair a relaxer touch up after a five month stretch. I originally planned to touch up my relaxer in November, but due to change of plans; I decided to relax my hair today.  Following my relaxer touch and neutralizing, I applied the Dudley's DRC 28 Hair Treatment And Fortifier; to restore the protein to my hair. I later follow it with Kenra Mango Butter moisturizing conditioner for five minutes and rinsed out.  I then applied the Giovanni's Moisturizer Leave-in along with the Joico's K-Pak Reconstruct Protectant and sealed it with the Elucence's Silk Hydrating Elixir.  I smoothed out my hair, pinned it up and sat under the hair dryer for one full hour under cool settings.  Now I'm letting my hair air dry so I can comb out and style.  Happy Hair Journey!
