How to get the relaxed hair look this summer

For a summer-lovin’ relaxed curl look, try out these tips from Revlon Realistic:

1. Be patient, don’t rush! Make sure to wait the suggested time before relaxing your hair again. Too soon and you could damage your hair and cause unnecessary breakage.
2. Slow down on the washing. Your scalp needs time to create enough natural lubricant to protect itself before the relaxer is applied. Stop washing your hair about 4 days before you plan to relax it.
3. Trust the product. Go for a reputable brand that will help your hair retain moisture to make it more manageable after it’s been relaxed.
4. Follow the instructions. Make sure to apply the relaxer to the newly grown hair only and set a timer to check that you leave it on for the prescribed amount of time.
5. Invest in aftercare products. Looking after relaxed hair properly will make all the difference in the look and feel of your hairstyle. Relaxing hair can cause dryness, so choose a neutralising shampoo that will stop the relaxer and return your hair’s normal pH level. Revlon Realistic’s neutralising shampoo has a colour signal to indicate when all traces of the relaxer have been removed.
