[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]

If your hair grows quickly, 6-8 weeks is long enough to reveal visible hair growth. I’m sure you can imagine that an inch or so of curly textured hair at the roots of a very straight hairstyle might not be the look that someone is aiming for. Also, as others have said, the hair is fragile at the point where it shifts from natural to relaxed, and breakage might be even more likely when people try various methods to manage the new growth with heat and multiple products.

One way around this is to do a texturizer  — which leaves some curl in the hair, so the difference in the textures is not as abrupt.  [/quote]
