Olaplex dupes:

ION Color Brilliance Absolute Perfection Booster No. 1 and Color Sealer No. 2

Schwarzkopf Fibre Plex no.1 and no. 2

Ultra Bond Seal

And dangit...there was another system I saw recently and can't remember the name to Google it. It was in a white bottle with red writing and there were several ones for home use and salon. I thought one of them was the "Rorexx" or something like that. If anybody knows, could you please tell me?

I promised myself I would not put chemicals in my hair until I finished EVERY idea on my checklist.

Sigh.

I forgot about that checklist. I just told hubby, "That's it! I'm done!!! I'm texlaxing, and I don't care if it ends up causing a setback or not. I've got to try it. I'm DONE!!!"

Hubby gently guides me upstairs and pulls me over to my unopened bag of henna and says, "You can't. I'm not going to let you. You haven't tried everything on your checklist, including this henna stuff, right? So tonight I'll look after the little ones. You make a date with your natural hair. Meet up in the shower and y'all just reconnect. Because you're just frustrated right now. This is not a suggestion, this is a command."

Sigh.

AWWWW. He's a sweet husband. But henna is the debil if you like to experiment with chemical color ....:hide:

It's called Continuum Ro Maxx Quantum Creator. It seems like there are several products...? I'm unclear on that.

Thanks for the support and encouragement, ladies. I called the hair salon to start asking questions about texlaxing, and the lady talked me down from a texlaxer. She doesn't recommend that I do something so permanent and chemical-based, since chemicals were eating up my hair in the past.

Where's the emoticon for walking over to your bed, crawling in, and throwing the covers over your head?

I'm going to sleep on it and taking everyone's advice to proceed cautiously and wait until I'm less emotional before doing anything too new. I'll DC with Bekura Y.A.M. and put it out of my mind for the day.

Thanks again.

:cry4:

Hair! :look:

Good choice @YvetteWithJoy. I know how to do mine well so I continue only when my hair is acting crazy. As long as she's acting right, I don't touch the creamy crack:nono:.

:lol: :rofl: That's too funny. I only think it is now myself but that's only because it is not coloring my more textured hair like it did my fully relaxed hair.

Sigh! Good times!
 
Coming up on week 2 of my personal HYH/PS challenge! My lazy cornrows are still doing well. Had to actually go out in public today to drop of little man's lunch, he left on the counter. I just put the cornrows in a bun and went into the school without a wig. I think my crooked parts aren't as visible thanks to the daily rinsing/cowashing.
 
Thanks for posting the Olaplex dupes. My stylist used something similar I think the last time I went to see her and I asked her what it was and she said it was like Olaplex. I'm waiting for my package to come. I would like to get it in time to use for this Sat but that might not happen. I've been using it consistently since January. Dammn, that's a while. I especially need it now since my hair is flat ironed. Come to think of it, my conditioners are streamlined, I stick with Olaplex, my beloved Giovanni in the purple bottle and Darcy's pumpkinseed. All three keep me good! Now if I can find a good heat regimen or styles that I like and can do easily I'm good!

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's it. Let me go online now. It's also a two-step which I think most of them are. Going to dye my hair but feeling under the weather. looking busted with this bleach cap hair. Oh, forgot to say that stylists love the ION brand but it's VERY SMALL. You buy it a vial and a little tiny pak at a time. Ultra Bond Seal is quite a bit less expensive than Olaplex.
 
The longer my hair gets, the less I want to do anything to it. I'm down to cowashing once a week and shampooing once a week with a DC. I really want to roller set but I keep looking at my dryer and not wanting to spend 45 minutes rolling my hair. Yikes. Hopefully I get my MOJO back. If not, I'm cutting back to waist length.
 
Ladies, where are we buying wigs from these days? Any suggestions?

I went to Hairsisters but the site seemed different - kinda sparse.
I wear synthetic either kinky/curly or short Halle-type styles. I'm looking to buy longer straight styles but shorter than my hair (MBL).

I'm not interested in lace fronts as I don't know how to do them justice. LOL

@toaster how long is your hair?

@GettingKinky I'm not sure. It was grazing butt Crack length in June but I trimmed about 2 inches then. It seems as though those inches are back. I'm contemplating a blow out in about 2 weeks so I should get more confirmation then.

I know the length feels less intimidating when it's stretched. That's why I love roller sets. I just need to get back in the setting mood.
