Relaxed hair can be very fun and manageable as long as you take care of it and take certain precautions , since it is chemically straight.. her are some tips ;

1. Relax your hair every 8 to 16 weeks depending on your hair is. Do not relax your hair every time new growth appears, because  relaxing can cause major damage to the hair and scalp. For one week following your relaxer, use a Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. You should also get hot oil treatments to moisturize your scalp.

2. Wash and condition your hair every once or twice a week. Try to use mild and gentle shampoo and a very moisturizing conditioner made for relaxed/permed hair.Relaxes/Permed hair must always be treated with a leave-in conditioner after every wash. Comb the damp hair with a wide tooth comb or shower/detangling comb with a very slippy conditioner in it as wet hair is in its most vulnerable state and is more likely to break

3. Don't brush your hair with harsh bristles. it can cause breakage and the ends of your hair can break off .

4. It is best to avoid using heat to dry your hair, especially if the relaxed hair is somewhat damaged. Hair should be left to air dry  before using a blow dryer on a low to medium temperature setting. However, if your hair is healthy and you want to use heat, you can either blow dry the hair on medium heat or use a hood dryer. The hair should be completely dry before you use a curling or flat iron on it. Make sure to use a heat protection product prior to any heat use.
