My hair is pressed and I want to put a relaxer in it. Is it okay or should I wash it first?

dont relax it now, that would be very bad depending on your hair type.


you can but dont leave it in for a long time or use the organic relaxer or olive oil relaxer. it dosent burn when you use it.My hair is pressed and I want to put a relaxer in it. Is it okay or should I wash it first?

no joke hope this helps (x)My hair is pressed and I want to put a relaxer in it. Is it okay or should I wash it first?
Well if you get a relaxer get it in about a week don't wash your hair first. If you have really thick coarse hair. Use a super no-lye relaxer (african pride, fabolaxer, soft and beautiful) or a coarse lye relaxer (such as motions).
Are you doing a touch-up?





If it's a relaxer for virgin hair, consider that a relaxer will weaken your hair and make it more prone to damage from combing, the elements, ect.





If for a touch up, do it WITHOUT washing your hair. The natural oils and products already in your hair and on your scalp, though maybe small amounts, will actually provide some protection, though little, from the active chemical ingredients that relax your curl pattern.





That may not sound like a big enough deal to not wash, but it might keep you from chemical burns, that will turn into sores and scabs on your scalp within days.

Hey. You should wait at least a week before relaxing it. But if you got it pressed within the last couple weeks I would wait 3 or 4 weeks before relaxing it. You shouldn't put too much on your hair in such a short amount of time. If you are waiting for the 3 or 4 weeks to do the relaxer then yes, go ahead %26amp; wash your hair %26amp; condition it now. But if you plan on relaxing in the next week then no do not wash it.





And what type of relaxer you get depends on what type hair you have. If you have fine hair then a box perm will work fine for you. But if you have thick hair then you should go to a hairdresser %26amp; get a professional perm done. Which I recommend going to a professional for your perms anyway.
its better to keep it press that way when u relax it, it would be straight already.
my hair is natural and on occasion i flat iron it. i have went from relaxed to natural 3 times in the past 15 years and this time i sticking to my natural hair. our hair is beautiful and there is so much you can do with it. yes a relaxer is easier but natural you have more versatility; but to answer your question you don't have to unless you plan on relaxing it 24hrs or more after washing. why? because after washing your pores are open and it will burn immediately.
I would not wash my hair first. When you wash your hair this will cause your scalp to become irritated, may cause your relaxer to burn your scalp. This is caused a chemical burn. When you put the relaxer in be sure you take it to the very end of your hair. if time or money allows the first time you should let a professional do it!!
i think u should wash it and wear it natural for about 7 days before u get i relaxed
