Sour Cream and Lemon For Natural Texturizing

I was asking the very same thing a few posts back. I wonder if something like this would be a no-no for relaxed heads considering the fact that the hair is already straightened by another process. Are the results permanent? What are the long term results with this process? I think it would be great to help with NG but what would happen when you got a touch up? :ohwell:

Good question, bumping this thread.
 
No problem! Glad it was worth the read.:grin:



I tried the coconut/lime mixture on relaxed and texlaxed hair with no problems -or results. This works on the same chemistry. It's just stronger. As long as you DC afterward as I mention in the review you should be fine. Your hair stays loose afterwards like the other mixtures depending on your texture.



I do! Thank you for asking this! I edited the directions to state this implicitly for others!!



I hope it works for you! Let us all know! :yep:



It was for me. No promises.:lachen:




As stated above I did this with lime/coconut on relaxed and texlaxed hair with no problems. Or results. Same chemistry with this, stronger mix. At most it may make dry relaxed hair TEMPORARILY drier, IF YOU DON'T DC immediately after, which I state in all caps in my review.

The benefit with this is you don't have to wait for anything to sour and for me, gave noticible results in fewer applications. You just mix it, put it on, rinse it off, DC and go.


Hope that answers your questions, ladies!

-From my mane to yours.

No doubt you gave an excellent review but when I say long term- I'm talking months and years not a one time use. It's like relaxer damage- I don't know about anyone else but it took a good year of overprocessing and overlap to see damage.
 
Okay I tried it today, but I added baking soda to it (I ain't scurred). I applied it to my edges to see if I could get them to lay down and cooperate. Kept it on for about two hours. My edges ARE lying down in the front and the buckshots in the back are playing nice for once--they don't even lay down when I put relaxer in, so I'm impressed. I forgot to DC like you told me too, though, so I'm doing that before bed. Thanks a million for the tip:drunk:

How much baking soda did you add?
 
i want to try it too.

i (or someone else on here who isnt quite so lazy) should make a notebook of all the recipes and their substitutes
 
I tried this after reading the first post. I don't have a steamer (yet), so wrapped my hair in a plastic bag, then I just put a small towel in some hot water, put the towel on my head while it was steamy (w/o touching my face!), and put another bag on it. The bag filled up with steam, so I had a huge bubble head. :0) My mini-roommate, a 4-year-old, probably thought I was crazy.
