You're welcome! You know you gonna be my KomazaCare buddy! I just went to the bss store to pick up another bottle of Califia Moisturizing Spray and Aloe my Hair Moisturizing Spray. :grin:

I'll be relaxing right before Thanksgiving as well. I definitely enjoy all the advice and tips on LHCF. :yep: I definitely need it to get my hair growing again after I did the BC last year.

FelaShrine I do notice my hair is kind of dry with the Optimum. I'm not sure if it's dye to the brand itself or no-lye formulas in general.

shortdub78 Yayy!! What's your regimen like these days?

No-lye is easier on the scalp and harder on the hair because of the deposits left on the hair. A good clarifying from time to time will help.
 
I'm trying to make it until August. That is not going to be easy at all. That will be 16 weeks if I can hold out that long.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together

Hi buddies! I just wanted to give a warm welcome to @EnExitStageLeft! So glad you're hanging out with us.:grin:

So can we get an approximate date of everyone's next touch up? I'll be relaxing sometime in August. I'm stretching 13 weeks this time. Relaxing on August 8.

Hey xu93texas ! I planned to relax around July 10th at 12 weeks but I'm going to see if I can go longer now that I am seeing the beauty in using S Curl No Drip moisturizer. I'm going to play it by ear so anywhere between 12-16 weeks...7/10-8/7.

either the end of June or the first weekend of July. it's hard to have new growth with all of this shedding going on.

i wash and dc twice a week. i air dry and bun. i finger detangle, but now i have to use a comb to remove the shed hairs out. i am going through postpartum shedding right now.

i just started using jbco on my scalp and ends a few times a week. i m&s daily.

i would love to wear my hair down this summer, but i had so much knotting and tangles, i had to cut some of chunks of my hair out.

Don't forget porosity control...it will help with the slickness for the knotting and tangles.
 
Mande30 klsjackson how are you ladies doing? I'm still holding on at 11 weeks post. I don't think I'm going to relax until the end of June or first of July. I've gotten my detangling and moisturizing issues under control. I just have to do both in sections to prevent any matting or dryness. I've gone all through May without using so I'm proud of myself for that. Still not relaxing the back of my hair till next year. It really needs a break from chemicals since its just so damaged and unhealthy. I cut it down to an inch a few weeks ago and it seems to be doing a lot better

So far, so good. I am one week post and hair is doing well. I have slacked on taking my vitamins and I can tell. My hair is shedding a little. I'm happy with my relaxer results, but I plan to stretch a little longer this time. I can't seem to get my hair as moisturized as I would like, especially during a stretch. I used Kera Care dry itchy scalp conditioner and my hair felt so soft afterwards. I'm going to keep using it for awhile to see if it's the difference maker. It just did not detangle as well I would like.

Hi ladies! I made six weeks post today and I'm happy with my NG so far. Washing and detangling is still a breeze thanks to my very moisturizing regimen. I recently added S Curl No Drip to the mix to keep my NG in check and protect my line of demarcation. This is probably one of my cheapest yet effective regimen additions. I did my first wash since using it and my shedding/breakage has significantly decreased. Th lost hairs rather broken or shed were so minimal I was actually examining my head for trapped hair. I'm now looking forward to the next six weeks and possibly beyond (fingers crossed).

sounds like everything is working in your favor. how are you detangling your hair? i still haven't gotten that Scurl yet. i might just get some Hawaiian Silky 14n1 again. i am about 5 weeks post. i think i will just do another 5 weeks. i am going to give that stylist a call to make an appt, but i wonder if i will need to see her beforehand? i am really trying to get my hair stronger/healthy before i see a stylist.

i think i am going to bite the bullet and order some Silk Dreams. if it doesn't work on me, i know it will work for my DD. i will just order one thing.

You should at least do an over the phone consultation so she will know what to expect and what your needs and desires are. OR so you get a feel as to whether or not you can trust her. She has used Nairobi Pamper relaxer since we met but this last relaxer she changed up on me. I was like whollup, where is Nairobi? She said she switch every few years because the hair becomes resistant over time. I can't remember the brand she used but if you don't bring your own, ask about it so you can research it.
