[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to have my hair straightened in a salon twice a year. It lasted a long time. I would, of course, have to straighten the new growth but it was doable until I had another straightening treatment.

I’m questioning why women are posting needing to have the treatment every 6 to 8 weeks.

Can one use a relaxer on color treated hair? How well do relaxers work on gray/white hair?[/quote]

Breakage is more likely the longer you stretch a relaxer. In high school, my mom couldn’t afford every 6-8 weeks and made me wait 3 months. Between freshman and sophomore year, I lost 6 inches. Once I started working, I could go more often and my hair broke off less. 4a/b thick, coarse hair.[/quote]
This makes no sense. More harsh chemicals more frequently resulted in less breakage? [/quote]

“As you stretch your relaxer, the line of demarcation (that point where your relaxed hair meets your newgrowth) will become increasingly fragile which means doing your hair everyday or playing in it can lead to breakage.” https://blackhairinformation.com/by-type/relaxed-hair/stretching-relaxers-dos-dont/

If you have very fast growing hair, you hit that point more quickly. The kinkier your new growth, the more likely you will put tension on the line of demarcation while styling. [/quote]
Thank you PP for explaining why there is more breakage with less treatments. [/quote]
