How We Stretch Our Washes & Relaxers | Hair Routine 

Haha aww thanks!

Haha so true!

Plus the one on the right has a small gap and a beauty mark above her lip.... 😉

+Shannon Bax That's awesome. I agree, everyone's hair is different, and they may not be able to stretch for that long, but you seem to be doing a great job with your hair :) Keep it up girl!

yes, you are right. Everyone's hair is different, and may not be able to stretch for that long. My hair texture is very soft and curly. Thank you for saying that seeming to be doing a great job with my hair! :) Oh yes girl! Yall keep yall's hair up as well! Yall's hair is soooo gorgeous!

salsareginaclemente We like deep condition/moisture and protein treatments to keep our new growth and rest of hair maintainable while stretching..oh and wide tooth combs too! However, it shouldn't really break too much unless it's super dry/brittle. End the stretch if it's breaking..hope this helps :)

That's a great idea! We will talk to our hairdresser and ask if it's ok for us to film in the salon :)

We use Jamaican Black Castor Oil for our scalp massages and we (even our hairdresser) noticed how fast our hair has grown. We love it in our hair routine :)

Thanks! We use a jvc everio hd camera..the model is GZ-HM30AU :)

Nice! How do you like it so far?

Not if they dont sweat a lot on their scalp. I go up to 2 weeks between washes...but I don't perspire in my scalp...I use natural oils and essential oils and a. 100% silk Charmeuse scarf so my hair and scalp can breathe. My hair never has a scent or bad odor. I have stretched my washes 10-14 days for years because I have long, thick hair (hip length) and I use few products aside from water, coconut oil, or jojoba oil a few times a week (which are very light oils). I find manipulating my hair less is better for avoiding breakage. By all means, wash more frequently when needed. If my hair is drier in winter due to indoor heating, I definitely will co-wash once or twice a week and shampoo as needed...if you workout then you will not be able to stretch your washes, of course. People wear weaves for weeks ahd months and don't wash their hair...

Hey girl! We increase the intensity of our fitness routines when it gets closer to washing our hair (Check out our Fitness Hair Routine Video listed above). Anytime we work out, we use a moisture wicking headband, and our work out routines in the first couple weeks of getting our hair washed aren't producing that much sweat,(Pilates, brisk walking) then as the weeks pass, that's when I go all in on my workouts because my hair will be getting washed soon . You can spritz the Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla leave in conditioner spray in your roots and hair to refresh it like we do OR use a dry shampoo to get rid of the excess oiliness, which I'm going to try this summer cuz it gets so hot here! Wrapping our hair does not make us sweat, especially when wrapping with a satin scarf. It keeps your hair in place so that you won't have to be messing with it too much when it's time to comb it down in the morning. Same thing with a shower cap. Get one with a lining on it like we explained in the video. The package specifically says the lining on the shower cap keeps out steam that would mess up your style. I shower with hot water but never to the point where it's steaming like a sauna. But yea, the Black Vanilla leave in spray is a really good refresher, and I'll keep you posted on whether dry shampoo will work with my hair this summer. Hope this helps! Everyone's hair and sweat levels are different, so these are pretty much what works for our hair and hopefully, anyone watching will be able to take away a few tips to try. Sorry for the long response, but I didn't want to cut you short on an explanation..lol

Love the name rekaxed and loving it. That's my motto for sure.

kimberly route aww, thank you 😄 Yes, its quite a nice positive motto to live by.

my hair smells stale if i go longer than two weeks ..............

+sweetfm2008 lol yes that was us :) :)

+DyDy xoxo Aww thank you!!

True! If your scalp produces a lot of oil and you sweat a lot, then 4 weeks can be an issue. We do sweat in our scalp, but not as bad, even when we work out.
