On behalf of tvlesson.com, this is Liz Muller from Liz’s Hair Design in Hollywood Florida.

So, let’s talk a little bit about relaxed hair. Relaxed hair needs a lot of hair care because it’s been
processed and the hair that’s been processed relax, so what it does is it needs that moisture and
that extra health.

What I do is when I use products like Affirm and that’s the relaxer I tend to use. I use Affirm
Fiberguard. It actually helps the hair because it has a conditioning treatment in there and it keeps
the hair moist and looking really nice and shinny. I also use Mizani Butter Blend and that’s
another great relaxer to use on the hair. They have different types of relaxers but that’s just my
preference.

Now, I would tell you, when you are taking care of relaxed hair, you want to keep conditioning
that hair using really good products. There are different kinds of mask out there but again, I’m
going to promote the Moroccan oil mask. I like the hydrating mask specifically for the relaxed
hair.

I also will use the afro puff conditioners. They have really good conditioners for the hair and
actually, the conditioner that I use for the afro puff is a mask that they have. It is a really thick
mask and it’s wonderful to use in the hair. I will mix this with actually a little bit of Moroccan oil
mask sometimes to give an intense treatment. Leaving them for the client for 15 to 20 minutes
and it really leaves a nice shine and moisture to the hair.

I will do this about maybe once a week and recommend that the client also buy conditioners like
that in the house if they don’t come to the beautician often because this is important. If you do
have relaxed hair, to maintain that hair, to keep it well treated, roller set once a week. I don’t
believe in drying, blow drying the hair because it tends to pull that hair and stretch out that
cuticle. So, you want to maybe roller set to keep it nice.
