Relaxed Hair

Because summer is almost here and I am sure you are all just as excited as i am, a lot of people will probably give their hair a rest from the braids. I am gonna try relaxing my hair this summer and hopefully seeing how long i can be able to last with my hair exposed to the newfoundland weather. a couple of tips i am gonna give to the ladies and to myself about the upkeep of relaxed hair.
1 keep your hair moisturized as much as possible
2 avoid getting it wet unnecessarily
3 if you do wash it make sure you oil treat it with cholesterol or hair mayonnaise.
4 do not shower or sleep with your head uncovered.

If there are a couple of tips I left out or ways you guys think might be able to help with the upkeep of relaxed hair please feel free to post them. In the world of hair you learn new things everyday, and I would love to learn new things from you guys:)
