I have African American hair and it seems to have so much new growth in the 3rd week.?

Can I perm my hair that soon? It gets so nappy, and hard to maintain, so I get frustrated. What can i do to make the perm last longer. I'm on a budget and can't always go to the salon. I have short hair and i'm trying to grow it out long.

my hair is the same way. typically i have found that a few things work during that time:



a wig-depends on how comfortable you feel with this option. not everyone likes them



get your hair braided-not in small braids but normal size so that your hair can rest



wear a pony tail-the bigger the better lol as the new growth will hide under it.



wear a bun-prices range from $3-50 and you can find any style that you want



get rods and curl your hair. i spray my hair with hawaiian silky dry look moisturizer, let it dry and then curl my hair. the style will last for weeks and you shouldnt have to comb it.



During this time I always use my favorite spray oil- i love Kemi Oyl, African Pride and Soft %26amp; Beautiful Botanticals to keep my scalp hydrated using only my fingers.



hopefully one of these will appeal to you but be careful with the braids-for some people their hair is not strong enough to handle it and the breakage can be fierce if you dont keep your hair moisturized.

Dont retouch it yet its too soon and its going to weaken your hair. Your over processing it. Get a good trim thats the key to a HEALTHY lookn head of hair. dont be one of those trying to grow it people but god wisps of weak hair. You might just be better of wearing a more natural style and growing out ur perm.

I would use another brand of relaxer. It sounds like your hair is underprocessed. And this time, try using a lye relaxer instead of a no-lye relaxer. My hair seems to revert faster when I use no-lye.
