I'll be in that situation real soon

@rileypak
I don't even look out there. I did pull that Claudie Khave from out there.

I have to be very, very careful how I open the door......

ETA: You put your bottles in there, I put my 16oz Jars in mine.

On the inside of the door, I have a bunch of flat top jars stacked in there.

@rileypak I used the Mielle Organics DC with what I had left of Bekura's YAM ( so glad I bought a backup) after henna and so far I like it. I feel some strength but softness as well.

My hair feels good right now. I still need to straighten and trim, but I might end up doing that tommorow... It's been a long day already lol.

Wishing you the best on your Challenge. Go For It!

@IDareT'sHair, girl you know it's gonna be tough, but it's something I have to do. I really need to work on reducing my stash and repurchasing only my staples. There's just sooooo much products out there that I wish I could try but I have to remember I only have one head of hair and there is only so much I can do to it to keep it. besides, the less I do to it, the better it is for my hair. Case in point, here's a pic of my hair from doing a whole lot less than I used to when I first started:

 

[Aggie]

When I first made the transition to texlax, I had to big chop 3 times because of major setbacks, the last of which was June 2014. When i started doing less to it, it grew back. I thank God for that

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Aggie
Your BC did well. Your Hair looks fabulous, and very healthy. Are you still Texlaxing?

@Aggie

You were posting the answer to my questions.

What types of things were you doing to cause setbacks?

 

[Aggie]

@Aggie

@IDareT'sHair, yes but only once or twice a year now depending on how fast it's growing. Sometimes, it gets unbelievably thick, that i have to texlax and it is only then that I would gently soften it to manage it a little better. I do this to prevent crazy breakage of course.

@IDareT'sHair, DCing twice a week, MN, Megatek, Sulfur oils, you name it. They were just not working like I had hoped.

@shawnyblazes

If I can pick up a couple Creamy Oils (and actually receive them this time) I'll be good.

Got it!

Glad you were able to pinpoint and correct what you were doing wrong.

@Aggie
It looks extremely Lush, Thick and Healthy. Looks like you've found your rhythm.

 

[Aggie]

Now I am DCing only once a week and moisturizing my hair and ends one to two times a week, using mostly sprays because I'm lazy. I have a home made hairdrenalin potion that I use maybe 3 times a week. I use 2 shampoo scalp brushes to massage my scalp through my big celies then do my inversions for a week a month. I wear wigs 90% of the time right now but when my hair reaches it's full potential or full BSL/MBL, then I plan to wear it out as an eye candy about 50% of the time.

Yes I believe I have @IDareT'sHair. Finally!!!

Claudies I Personally Like:
3n1 Cowash/Cleansing
Avocado Intense DC'ing
Satin or Frappe Moisturizers

You didn't ask about these
Protein: Renew or Reconstructor
Hair Tea (Spritz)

*if I were giving out suggestions

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Aggie
I remember your Hair as a Relaxed Head,

I think it came back very nicely as a Texlaxed Head considering x3 Big Chops and a series of setbacks.

Thanks lady!
Protein suggestions too.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@BrownBetty
I normally get all my stuff in "Unscented" too. The Proteins are wonderful.

 

[Aggie]

I'll be using up some of my Redken Time Reset line, shampoo, conditioner and treatment next until finished. This line has been discontinued so I'll replace it with Kerastase Age Recharge and Reken All Soft and Redken Smooth Lock lines, but not until the Time Reset line is all done.

@Aggie
What year did you do your first BC?

 

[flyygirlll2]

Your hair looks beautiful and healthy @Aggie
What you've been doing definitely shows in your hair.

@Aggie

My first big chop was in 2011, the second one in 2012 and the third one in 2014. It just wasn't going right for all that time because I was trying to do the same things to it as if I was still fully relaxed. I learned that my texlaxed hair should be handled more like natural hair, especially if it's virtually left on the hair for only 7 minutes or less with a lot of conditioner and oils mixed in with the relaxer. For some reason it worked best for me this way.

ETA: I was natural the first year of my big chop, but the second year, I texlaxed.

Thank you @flyygirlll2. It's a constant work in progress.

Damn, I will have to get in and out the shower today. I hate that. I'll only have to do it once a month, I guess I'll survive.
