How to Grow Out Natural Hair From Relaxers

If you wish to grow out natural hair from relaxers, work with a stylist so you can get a hairstyle that looks good and reduces stress on the hair.  Also, shampoo hair once or twice a week and use a good conditioner to moisturize hair.  Use a detangler as well, to make combing easy and reduce hair breakage.

• Have your hair styled in a way that reduces stress on the hair.  Choose braids and weaves to provide this.  This makes hair look good while you grow it out, as well. Work with a professional stylist for the best look and health of your hair.  This makes it easier to grow hair out because you will be happy with the way it looks.


• Shampoo hair once or twice a week.  This allows for healthy hair by keeping natural oils on the scalp.  Use a mild shampoo so hair does not dry out.  Consult with your hair stylist in you are unsure which shampoos are mild.


• Use conditioner on the hair with good moisturizers.  This is best for hair that is brittle and dry from relaxers.  Look for a brand that is formulated for dry hair.  This can be found at your hair salon or local grocery store.  Use conditioner every time you shampoo your hair making sure to leave it on for five or ten minutes before rinsing.


• Use a detangler to comb through hair.  Spray it on wet hair after showering.  This reduces hair breakage by making tangles easy to comb out.  Comb tangles from the bottom first and move up to the scalp.  Spray extra detangler on areas that are difficult to comb.
