Finally Stylist Free! DH helped w/texlax & trim (PICS)

[Buttercreme]

I got so tired of asking around about "good" stylists. If they can do one thing, they can't do another.
I read all thru the self-relax stickie and decided to do it myself. DH said he was willing to help. I "briefed him and coached him" thru it. (He is such a good sport, because currently he's on crutches). He texlaxed the 2 back sections while I did the 2 in front. It was a total of 18 min from first application to smoothing. My hair still has wave, which I love.
I rollerset and flat-ironed my roots (only for trimming purposes). Meanwhile he ran to walgreens to buy shears.

I am so trim-aphobic! But I needed it! Next time we texlax, he will trim more

When we were all done, I said to DH "You know what, I am stylist free". He said " Yeah, I guess you are"

ETA: All pics were taken last night. Gradually getting rid of those bone-straight ends. I began my journey @ touching shoulder length.

Lucky you! Are your pics taken from over a time-period or all in the same day? The last pic looks great.

I like him...do you lease him out for cuts(maybe he can show my dh)? I'm in Florida You're hair is beautiful. He did a great job.

 

[Newtogrow]

Looks good!

 

[Buttercreme]

Your hubby did a great job trimming.

What happened to the middle section?

Not sure
Probably a combo of things such as prior heat usage, stylists not properly rinsing/neutralizing, not enough moisture.

But all these things have been eliminated, so I just gotta let time be on my side now, to gradually trim them off

It took me almost 8 yrs. to get him where I want him!
I can't lease him out now!

For sure.... Simply beautiful.
