Taking care of your hair after a blow-out relaxer

Salon employee Lusanda Tyawana sat down with the Briefly News team to give insight into caring for hair after relaxing it.

"After relaxing an afro, a person should be aware that the product may or may not work for their hair as some products are too strong"

"If the product is not harsh for your hair, steps to ensure that it stays healthy should be followed to prevent it from breaking."

"That means using a good shampoo and moisturiser and treating your it with hair mayonnaise every second to third week."
