So today I just got my hair relaxed after a 10 week stretch. I decided to go to 10 weeks as opposed to 12 because I figure hell what's 2 weeks, plus I was seeing a little more shedding than normal and my roots were screaming for a touch up.
First off, I really love my stylist! She's so amazing! I was SO GLAD to see that by complete coincidence I use the same products that she does. She did the following:
ciao guys!

First off, I really love my stylist! She's so amazing! I was SO GLAD to see that by complete coincidence I use the same products that she does. She did the following:
- Based my scalp and left it on for a few mins
- Applied Designer Touch Relaxer to roots - and DIDNT comb to the ends
(that's my girl!) - Smoothed out just the roots with a comb
- washed out w/ neutralizer 2x and then followed with a regular poo. We were talking about self relaxing and how one should follow with 2 neutralizing rinses then another 1-2 rinses w/ regular poo to ensure the relaxer is completely out. I never thought of that, would only do the neutralizer, but that's her technique. Works for me.
- here's the best part... I asked for a deep condition treatment... Her method... Nexxus Emergencie DC for 15 mins w/ heat FOLLOWED BY Nexxus Humectress DC for 15 mins w/ heat!!! Humectress is my staple moisturizing DC, and I was thinking about using Emergencie, now I WILL!
- apply leave-in... MY OTHER STAPLE Salerm 21 B5!!!
- Dried under hooded dryer to 80% dry then blew out the rest w/ med setting hand dryer
- Flat iron w/ electric ceramic/tourmaline iron
- APPLIED ELASTA QP MANGO BUTTER!! Another of my staples
- Gave me a little bump w/ marcel iron
. But she knows how to use them and was quick so I'm not alarmed.
ciao guys!

Thanks so much guys. Honestly I cant remember my hair even being this length in sooo long.... I've been with my stylist for 3 years now - she even LEFT her old salon 2 weeks ago, I hadnt seen her since Nov 07 so I didnt know. Luckily I had her cell number because I found out yesterday when I called the salon, but was able to come to her new place (she's been really busy and didnt get to call me). In any case, I had a natural short fro when I first began seeing her and had weaves for 2 years through her, before that I had gorgeous locs that were about as long as my hair is now. My relaxed hair was never this healthy, I didnt know how to care for it. I dont really trust anyone to do my hair but her (my life will be hell when I move to LA this summer, lol).
