Shop Hair Breakage Treatment After Relaxer Nigeria
Hair relaxers are a part of everyday life for millions of Nigerian women. When used correctly, they keep hair smooth and manageable. But when the hair is over-processed, when relaxers are applied too soon, or when the right aftercare is skipped, breakage follows.
Breakage from relaxers is not a reason to stop relaxing. It is a signal that your hair needs a stronger repair routine. The right products can stop the breakage, restore strength, and get your hair growing again.
At Lush Hair Africa, we stock a full range of hair breakage treatment products for relaxed hair in Nigeria. Shop online and get delivery across Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and all states in Nigeria.
Why Relaxers Cause Hair Breakage
A relaxer works by breaking down the bonds inside the hair shaft that give it its natural curl. This process makes the hair permanently straight. However, it also leaves the hair weaker than it was before. The more times you relax, the more the structure of your hair changes.
Here are the most common reasons relaxed hair breaks:
- Relaxing too often. Going shorter than 8 weeks between applications does not give the new growth enough time to come in before the next chemical process.
- Overlapping the relaxer onto previously relaxed hair. This double-processes the hair, making it very fragile.
- Leaving the relaxer on for too long. Even a few extra minutes beyond the recommended time can cause serious damage.
- Skipping protein treatments. Relaxed hair loses protein during the chemical process. Without regular protein treatment, the hair becomes limp and snaps easily.
- Not deep conditioning regularly. Moisture keeps relaxed hair flexible. Without it, the hair becomes dry and brittle.
- Heat damage on top of relaxer damage. Using high heat on already weakened hair accelerates breakage.
Understanding which of these applies to you will help you choose the right treatment and adjust your routine.
Our Hair Breakage Treatment Products for Relaxed Hair
Every product in this collection is chosen to help repair, strengthen, and protect relaxed hair. Here is what each product does and when to use it.
Deep Conditioner
The Lush Deep Conditioner is the most important product for relaxed hair that is breaking. Deep conditioning replaces moisture lost during the relaxer process and makes the hair more flexible, which means it bends instead of snapping. Use it every wash day, once a week. Apply generously from root to tip, cover with a plastic cap, and leave on for 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing. Available in 250g and 500g.
If your hair is very weak and breaks with minimal tension, use the Deep Conditioner as a pre-poo treatment as well. Apply it to dry hair before shampooing to protect the hair during washing.
Leave-In Treatment
The Leave-In Treatment is applied after washing and left in without rinsing. It adds a layer of moisture and protein that keeps the hair strong throughout the week. It also makes detangling easier, which reduces the mechanical breakage that happens when combing through tangled relaxed hair. Apply to damp hair after washing. Available in standard and 500g sizes.
Indian Herb Hair Growth Treatment
When breakage has caused thinning or bald patches, the scalp needs targeted treatment to support regrowth. The Indian Herb Hair Growth Treatment nourishes the scalp, stimulates circulation to the follicles, and helps create the right environment for new hair to grow. Apply directly to the scalp 2 to 3 times per week. Available in 250ml and 500ml.
Ultra Nourishing Hair Food
The Ultra Nourishing Hair Food is a rich treatment that feeds both the scalp and the hair strand. It is particularly useful for relaxed hair that has become very dry and brittle. Dry hair breaks far more easily than moisturised hair, so keeping moisture levels up is a key part of any breakage repair routine. Available in 500ml.
Wash and Steam
The Wash and Steam treatment is a deep penetrating product designed to be used with heat for maximum moisture delivery. It works by opening the hair cuticle so the treatment can get deep into the hair shaft. For over-processed relaxed hair that is severely damaged, a steam treatment once every 2 weeks can make a significant difference in texture and strength.
No Burn Treatment Combo and No Burn Treatment Classic
If your breakage is happening because the relaxer is burning and irritating your scalp before processing is complete, the No Burn Treatment Combo and No Burn Treatment Classic are what you need. These products are applied to the scalp before relaxing to protect it from burning while still allowing the relaxer to straighten the hair properly. Scalp burns damage the follicles and cause the hair to break right at the root.
Wash Day Hair Treatment Combo
The Wash Day Hair Treatment Combo brings together key wash day products in one package. It is a convenient option for women who want a complete wash day repair routine without having to build it product by product.
How to Repair Hair Breakage From Relaxers
Repairing relaxer damage takes time and consistency. Here is a simple repair routine you can follow:
- Week 1 to 2: Stop all heat styling. Give the hair a break from flat irons, blow dryers, and curling wands. Heat on damaged hair causes more breakage.
- Wash day: Shampoo gently. Deep condition for at least 20 to 30 minutes every single wash day without fail.
- Between wash days: Apply the Leave-In Treatment to keep moisture levels up. Use the Indian Herb Hair Growth Treatment on your scalp 2 to 3 times per week.
- Monthly: Use the Wash and Steam treatment for a deep penetrating treatment that gets moisture into the most damaged parts of the hair.
- Next relaxer: Wait a full 10 to 12 weeks before your next application if your hair is severely damaged. Use the No Burn Treatment base to protect your scalp during the process.
Most women see a clear reduction in breakage within 4 to 6 weeks of following a consistent repair routine. Length retention and thickness improve over 3 to 6 months.
How to Prevent Breakage After Relaxing
Repairing breakage is important, but preventing it from happening again is just as important. These steps will help protect your hair with each future relaxer application:
- Always wait at least 8 to 10 weeks between relaxer applications. 12 weeks is even better if your hair is fragile.
- Never overlap the relaxer onto previously relaxed hair. Apply only to the new growth section.
- Time your relaxer carefully. Follow the instructions and do not leave it on longer than recommended.
- Use the No Burn Treatment base before every relaxer application to protect your scalp.
- Deep condition the week before relaxing and the day after relaxing without fail.
- Do not use heat for at least 2 weeks after relaxing to give the hair time to recover.
Relaxer Breakage vs Normal Shedding
Not all hair loss is breakage. It helps to know the difference:
- Normal shedding: Hair that falls out with a white bulb at the root. This is the hair completing its natural growth cycle. Shedding 50 to 100 strands per day is normal.
- Breakage: Short hair pieces with no bulb at the end. The strand has snapped rather than shed. If you are seeing lots of short pieces when you comb, that is breakage.
If your breakage has also led to overall hair thinning or slow growth, you may also benefit from our hair loss treatment collection which covers regrowth and scalp nourishment in more detail.
Scalp Health After a Relaxer
Relaxers can disrupt the scalp's natural balance and sometimes trigger dandruff or scalp irritation. If you are experiencing a flaky or itchy scalp alongside your breakage, treating the scalp is also part of the repair process. Browse our dandruff treatment products to get the scalp back to a healthy state.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Breakage Treatment After Relaxer Nigeria
Hair breakage after a relaxer is usually caused by one of these reasons: the relaxer was left on too long, it was applied over previously relaxed hair, there was not enough aftercare like deep conditioning and protein treatment, or heat was used on the hair too soon after processing. Identifying which applies to you will help you fix the problem at its root.
The most important steps are: stop using heat, deep condition every single wash day, use a leave-in treatment between washes, and give your hair more time between relaxer applications. Products like the Lush Deep Conditioner and Leave-In Treatment give your hair the moisture it needs to become flexible and stop snapping. Apply the Indian Herb Hair Growth Treatment to your scalp to support regrowth in areas that have thinned.
You can expect to see less breakage within 4 to 6 weeks of a consistent repair routine. Significant improvement in thickness and length retention usually takes 3 to 6 months. Full recovery from severe over-processing can take 12 months or more, especially if the hair needs to grow out significantly. Patience and consistency are the most important factors.
Yes. If the follicles are still healthy, the hair will grow back. Most breakage from relaxers affects the hair shaft, not the follicle itself. This means the root is still alive and capable of producing new hair. A good scalp treatment like the Indian Herb Hair Growth Treatment supports the follicles while the repair products restore the condition of the existing hair.
Deep conditioning is the most important single step, but it works best as part of a full routine. Deep conditioning alone rebuilds moisture. But relaxed hair that is breaking also needs leave-in treatment to maintain that moisture between wash days and scalp treatment to support regrowth. The combination of the Lush Deep Conditioner, Leave-In Treatment, and Indian Herb Hair Growth Treatment covers all three needs.
Every week without exception. If your hair is severely damaged, you can deep condition twice a week, once as a pre-poo on dry hair before washing and once as your standard deep conditioning step after shampooing. More frequent deep conditioning is one of the fastest ways to reduce breakage in over-processed relaxed hair.
You can continue to relax your hair, but you need to be more careful about timing and technique. Wait at least 10 to 12 weeks between applications. Use the No Burn Treatment base to protect your scalp. Apply the relaxer only to the new growth. Deep condition before and after. Avoiding relaxers altogether while you repair is an option but not a requirement. The key is better technique and stronger aftercare.
