Hey all. I went ahead and relaxed last week. Well my mom applied the relaxed. Relaxed with Mizani Butter Blends sensitive scalp no lye. After rinsing I applied Aphoghee 2 minute then did what felt like a million washes to get the relaxed out. I did a deep condition with Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk, used the Wheat Germ conditioner from Silk Dreams as a leave in and sealed with grapeseed oil.

Since it was virgin hair I'm gonna have to do a corrective on the top on the ends- the back is ok. May do that at the 4 week mark. My plan is to relax every 12 weeks but I will definitely be watching to see what my hair does.

Kim0105 How did you like the Butter Blend Sensitive Scalp? I am leaning towards this one.

I'm so darn upset right now. So I wake up and start on my regular morning routine and as I go to turn "off" the coffee pot (left on) before I pour the water, my finger touches the hot, hot, hot surface and gives me a 2nd degree burn, ugh! The blister is forming now but here is why I'm pissed. I did an overnight DC and I have DC in my hair right now :-(. I have to get this stuff out of my hair without damaging the blister or my hair because I put a bandage on it. This aught to be interesting.

Kim0105 why the corrective?
 
mschristine and @hnntrr How's your week going? Today is my regular wash day. I clarified with ORS Creamy Aloe, did a HOT (avocado, olive, JBCO, grapseed oils), washed with Roux PC Control Shampoo, DC with ORS Replenishing & Beautiful Textures Rapid Repair Deep conditioner. For my leave ins I sprayed a little Aphogee Keratin and Green Tea leave in and a small amount of Chi Straight Guard. I used diluted Lottabody to rollerset. Hair feels really good! I'm sitting under the dryer expecting good results from my rollerset.

I'm good! Feeling a little dry yesterday so I did a dry DC with Nexxus Humectress with heat and then air dried overnight. My hair is feeling so much better:-)

ETA: we have a new buddy joining us Mande30

I am doing okay! I went swimming on Monday night and it jacked my hair up (even though I did conditioner before I got in), so I got some clarifying shampoo and since today is a wash night I plan on doing my monthly shampoo tonight and then co washing with some tea tree oil conditioner i bought. I'll just make sure to do a good long DP on sunday.

Not noticing any major new growth yet...but I am only 3 weeks post (then again I cant really tell cause I texlaxed lighter this past relaxer than I have so I dont know which is new growth and which is just the lightly texed part of my hair. But my curls look so much better with texed hair. Bantu knots lasted a good two days (way longer than the curl formers did).
 
Toy, we are in this together. I will hang in there for 12 weeks. Your hair is beautiful. Your journey is motivational and just gave me life. You go girl!!

My last relaxer was Dec,22 2012. I usually can stretch for 12-16 weeks. I need some encouragement, because this new growth about to start kicking my Butt! Lol
 
I'll still post before I get one, hope its okay with yall?
This Aussie 3 min is really helping with moisturizing and softening my new growth, I def think its a keeper. It works really well as leave in.
 
^^ looks like a bunch of us will be relaxng at the same time! Sounds clique-ish to me :nono: lol! I might try 18 weeks instead of 16... I just know I can't do over 20 anymore.

:lachen: It seems that way sometimes, but in reality our relaxer days are all over the place.
 
haha..I really do want to try and go the distance ... I've been doing scalp massages daily and I've totally increased my water intake so these couple tweaks will make a difference I'm sure. 16-18 weeks sounds very promising..although I can feel my ng already:look:
 
I'm new here I want a relaxer buddy too :(

my last relaxer was october 31st.12 I'm trying to stretch till March which will make it 16 weeks this is my second time stretching my relaxer this long
 
I want a buddy.. I would like a buddy with long hair APL or longer if possible.
I am 3 months post.
I will be stretching until 4 months.
I am taking the braids in my siggy out in 2 weeks.
 
:bouncy: Thanks girls. I can prob can stretch to 18 weeks, The furthest I stretch has been 16 though. ( and that was :catfight:), Lol. But after using this Aussie 3 min and loc method I might can go that long. We will See! :grin:

How's the finger, girl? It's rough trying to do anything with a sore finger. It's awful to have a hangnail, I can't imagine a burn. 2nd degree! Did you have it treated by the doc?

Cool! We can all make it to 18 weeks together. Stretching that long wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
