This month I decided to remove them. I wanted to relax my hair as soon as possible but my hairstylist would not let me. I had to wait a few days to wash and condition (ORS Mayonnaise). Then a week later she relaxed with motions. Prior to my relaxer I greased my hair every other day with Sahara Bible Rosemary pomade because my scalp was too dry. She said that my hair did not relax all over because the grease created a barrier and could not penetrate the scalp is this true? This is the first time I've used motions, and the crown of my hair is a little thicker because of this. How can I rectify the problem or begin a daily hair care routine. As I've had my hair braided for so long I'm clueless. Please help! $:\$

But if there is grease on your new growth, the relaxer has to break that down before it breaks down the bonds in your hair, so a relaxer left on for the proper amount of time won't be able to do its work.

The grease fiorms a barrier and makes it harder for your hair to retouch. The result can be uneven results where some parts of your hair are thoroughly relaxed or chemically treated, it's much better to add a little oil (a teaspoonful) such as Aphogee Essential Fatty Acids Oil (EFA) to the relaxer and this helps you to achieve a better result as the oil is mixed in with the relaxer and penetrates into your hair. But as for greasing up the hair, it just makes it harder for the chemical process to work.

You should do conditioning treatments and wait atleast a 1 week. This is b/c of the stress that braids put on your hair and especially your scalp. Hair tends to be very vulnerable to breakage after braids. I don't do brainds anymore Anyways it is true. But you can still grease your scalp to keep it from getting dry. I think a heavy grease would intefere alot more than a light grease. What did you base your scalp with RIGHT BEFORE you used the relaxer? When you base your scalp you should NEVER use hair grease you shold use a base specifically made for alkaline chemicals such as relaxers. Did your stylist make a comment to you before she did the relaxer? I mean if she noticed that your hair was a little greasy isnt' there a way she could've rubbed some of it out?

The grease has to get through the oil, and then it can begin to work on your, that's if it takes at all. Also you shouldn't oil your hair for a few days before your hair appointment. Even if it's just for a wash and deep condition. The oil hinders lathering and teands to bead up. So you end up having to wash twice.

But we are all different!
