I had a relaxer done professionally on December 9,2011. I been going to the salon to wash my hair ever since then. Because I've always felt no matter what I do I can't get my hair to look at soft and manage to stretch my roots while blow drying like the salon does.
I sometimes wait a gap of 2-3 weeks to wash my hair since I can't always go to the salon.
It was all going well... But, I felt my hair so dirty and decided to wash my hair at home. It's not exactly the washing, it's the drying that I fail at. I bought a good blow dryer and flat iron but my hair STILL doesn't look the same.
I want to learn that method and technique. Because it looks so simple at the salon. I am now thinking the difference is probably the roller set and I'm about to by a dryer and retry this again. I've seen many girls on youtube achieve that soft look.
Instead, when I do my own hair at home it looks like I haven't had a relaxer in so long.
I want to save money,do my own hair care for it myself at least when I'm washing it.. but I fail. should I try flat ironing the roots? Any advice, product recommendation etc please?
This is how my hair looks after a wash,rollerset and blowdry at the salon:
I had some new growth but now it just went wild after I washed and dry it myself..
(I washed with Hellohydration for the first time then air dry a little then applied olive oil moisturizer and blow dried. This is how it looks like when I wash and blowdry it myself. It is worse in person -_____- :
