Can you use ordinary shampoo if you used optimum hair relaxer?

Answer 1

Hi, I used Optimum Relaxer regularly on my hair for the last half of my life (ages 14-27). Though I recently (6 months ago) switched from Optimum relaxer to a texturizer, I have continued to use the same ordinary conditioning shampoo I have used for most of the last 10 years. It is "Cream of Nature Detangling Conditioning Shampoo". Out of scores of shampoos I have tried over my teens and through my twenties, Cream of Nature Detangling Conditioning Shampoo is the BEST shampoo for relaxed hair, texturized hair, color treated, or just super dry/damaged hair. It basically has some conditioner built into it, and when you rinse it out, it leaves your hair feeling as if it has been deep conditioned. You can even run a fine tooth comb through your hair with little or no hair coming off because the shampoo has detangled and conditioned it so well. The Cream of Nature Detangling Conditioning Shampoo comes in normal (red bottle), ultra moisturizing (green bottle- my favourite), and fine hair (blue bottle). And it is super affordable at less than US$6 for a big bottle (check any drugstore). Cheers, O
