The Chief Executive Officer of My Hair Grow Butter, Dr. Mary Baaba Boamah, has urged women to relax their hair no more than two times a year to prevent damage and excessive hair loss.
Speaking on Vibes Central on Bullet TV hosted by Melody Abena Pessey and Eugene Evans Arthur, she warned that frequent use of hair relaxers can strip the hair of its natural moisture, leaving it dry, weak, and prone to breakage.
Dr. Boamah explained that many people relax their hair too often, sometimes every month, which harms the scalp and affects healthy hair growth. She advised that waiting at least four to six months between relaxers allows the hair to recover and remain strong.
She added that while some hair loss is normal, excessive shedding is often linked to poor hair care practices, including over-processing, lack of moisture, and improper use of products.
According to her, maintaining a simple routine such as regular washing, moisturizing, and proper scalp care can help protect hair and support healthy growth.
“You cannot bring back lost hair, but you can protect the new growth by caring for it well,” she said.
