After have the hair relaxed about 6 months, when should we do it again?

Hair grows at a rate of about 1/2" per month. For example, you had your hair relaxed about 6 months, that means you only have about 3 inches of new growth. It is not recommended that you do it, because the formulas always overlap a little, and that could result in damage and breakage. So you have two choices: You can wait until your hair gets longer, cut off the previously relaxed hair, and may be get a medium length bob (which is what I did) and then there is no risk of the formulas over-lap. While you wait for the hair to grow, you can follow the straightening regimen that I posted on "the fight against humidity" and since you have just wavy hair, I promised you it will be super straight. It is a little more work but you only have to do it twice a week. You can do it more if you like, but my hair stays straight the whole time, so I only do it twice a week to keep my hair healthy.

If you simply can not wait, or just refuse to cut your hair, then you have to go with a non thio relaxer. Just make sure you get a good one. Paul Mitchell The Relaxer (that is what is called) is actually pretty good and very gentle. Or you can go with Phytospecific hair relaxer, which is made of natural ingredients, and it is compatible with the non thio relaxers. It is considered to be the best relaxer ever. And if done right will give you optimal results. However the price is out of this world. It is $60 a kit, and the application takes a long time.

Whatever decision you make, remember to use protein treatments, and to always deep condition after the protein treatments. Otherwise your hair will fell like straw.
