Some Worth Reading Tips by Nadeem -
"Don'ts"
Don't apply chemicals to your hair without a consultation from a professional stylist.
Don't brush, scratch or shampoo hair and scalp before any chemical service.
Never apply relaxer and tint on the same day or week.
Allow a six month interval between application of a relaxer and permanent wave or three inches of new growth.
Don't reapply a relaxer before six weeks has elapsed... don't reapply permanent wave before eight to twelve weeks have elapsed.
Don't use the so called "No Lye" Relaxers...they will in the long term, damage your hair and your child's hair too!!
Don't press and curl chemically treated hair... stop allowing "Blow and Go" salons to use irons on your hair.
Never blow dry wet hair... towel dry your hair first... apply setting lotion or leave in conditioner then sit under a dryer until all moisture is absorbed.... allowing hair cuticle to close... then you can blow dry your hair on a medium setting.
Never use sponge rollers - they will absorb all the moisture and Conditioners from your hair.
When sleeping, don't place rollers where your head will touch the pillow... stress cause by the roller will tear and weaken the hair... set the top of your head... wrap your hair around your head or pin clip your hair. Always wrap your hair with the pretty satin wraps sold only at Olive's.
