How To Grow Your Relaxed Hair Faster (Step-by-Step Routine)
As a hair therapist, I’ve seen many clients struggle with maintaining their relaxed hair. They often come in frustrated, wondering why their hair isn’t growing as quickly as they’d like. The truth is, many are simply getting their hair care routine wrong. With the right approach, you can achieve healthy, faster-growing relaxed hair. Here are my top recommendations for a relaxed hair routine that promotes growth.
1. Wash Every 2-3 Weeks
Washing your hair every 2-3 weeks keeps your scalp clean and your hair free from product buildup without stripping it of its natural oils. Over-washing can lead to dryness and breakage, so a balanced schedule is key.
2. Retouch Only When Due, Focusing on Necessary Areas
Over-processing is a common mistake. Only retouch your new growth when it’s due, typically every 8-12 weeks. Focus on the roots and avoid overlapping the previously relaxed hair to prevent damage.
3. Use a Neutralizing Shampoo Like Moringa Shampoo
After a retouch, it’s essential to use a neutralizing shampoo to restore your hair’s pH balance. Moringa Shampoo is an excellent choice as it neutralizes the relaxer, removes chemical residue, and nourishes your hair.
4. Deep Condition a Week After Retouching
A week after your retouch, deep condition your hair to replenish moisture and strengthen your strands. This helps to repair any damage from the chemical process and keeps your hair resilient.
5. Moisturize Every 3 Days with a Water-Based Stimulating Cream
Moisturizing regularly is crucial. Use a water-based stimulating cream every three days to keep your hair hydrated and promote growth. Water-based products penetrate the hair shaft more effectively than oil-based ones.
6. Incorporate a Keratin Treatment 3-4 Times a Year
Keratin treatments help rebuild your hair’s structure, making it stronger and more resilient. Incorporate a keratin treatment into your routine 3-4 times a year to maintain healthy hair.
7. Avoid Small Braids and Over-Manipulation
Small braids can cause tension and breakage. Opt for larger braids or protective styles that don’t stress your hair. Additionally, minimize over-manipulation to prevent unnecessary damage.
8. Protect Your Hair with Silk or Satin While Sleeping
Using silk or satin scarves, bonnets, or pillowcases while sleeping reduces friction, which can cause breakage. This simple step helps maintain your hair’s moisture and overall health.
Remember, consistency is crucial when it comes to hair care routines. Stick to these tips, and you’ll see a significant improvement in the health and growth of your relaxed hair.
Your journey to healthier, faster-growing relaxed hair starts with the right routine. Stay consistent, be patient, and watch your hair flourish!
