In reply to Layla. Hi Layla! Yes - every six weeks is too often. It should be done every 8 weeks or more. You don't want to overprices your already relaxed hair! You need to grow the natural hair out enough to have enough to relax without overlapping onto already relaxed hair. As for the "hay hair" problem, try clarifying your hair with a clarifying shampoo to strip out any product. Then deep condition with a thick hair mask. Leave that in for 15-20 minutes. Want to boost the deep conditioning? Get yourself a heat cap from Amazon or your beauty supply store, wrap your conditioner-covered hair in a plastic bag and then put on the heat cap. Leave that on for 15-20 minutes, and then rinse out the mask. Spray leave-in conditioner into your hair and then add some hair oil or almond oil to your hair. Put your hair up in a heatless style like a bun. Moisturize your hair every other day until wash day...and repeat. The key hair is keeping heat off your hair to give it a break. Try that...but I would really need to know what your daily haircare routine is. I hope this helps!
