KiWiStyle The directions for Roux Porosity state it should be used after a "chemical service" to restore proper porosity. A lot of LHCF ladies use it before and after a relaxer but some natural ladies use it too to bring the hair back into balance. So I don't know if it's bad to use it regularly or why that may be. I just use it once in a while, usually in the weeks right after a relaxer, the results are always great and the shampoo is gentle. If I can find an excuse justify using it more I will

I'm with you! I think the longest I will ever go is 9 weeks.
@Cattypus1 I haven't actually read Hair Care Rehab though I have the book (Kindle version). Audrey inspires me so I got excited about buying her books but haven't studied them thoroughly. I like the idea of recipes so I gotta read HCR.

I'm really enjoying the thickness of my underprocessed hair right now, lol. I'm only two weeks post but my roots are thick like I'm 5+ weeks post, but they're still processed to be wavy instead of coily at this point.
Adding Roux Porosity control shampoo and condish to my wash day always makes my hair feel awesome (is Roux really only for sometime use?). I used both this morning followed by Vanilla Silk Cream Moisture Dream and my hair was sooo moisturized
I wanted to try Qhemet products to nourish my hair/new growth during a stretch but decided to try Shea Moisture instead since it's a little cheaper and more accessible. I'm going to buy Qhemet for my cousin and her children who are really struggling with their 4b/c hair. I bought Kinky Curly KT and Shea Moisture Shea Butter Restorative Condish to use as leave-ins. Deeper into my stretch I plan to layer the KCKT under the Shea Moisture condish. I rubbed some of the SM condish today through my hair and scalp and was pleased with the results. It's heavier and greasier than my usual leave-ins so a little goes a long way, I'm assuming I have to be sparing with this or it will build up quick, shea butter isnt' a game. I still love my Claudie's Isha cream as a great moisturizer that takes a while to build-up.
erplexed Some days I dont even bother to comb. I just spritz, scrape the outer hair into a nice looking bun. But if you try to dig into the center of that bun, your fingers will find a nice beehive in there...LOL! 
Doing wihatever works 'til relaxer day. Not experiencing any excessive shedding or breaking, so leaving it alone is working out.

I'm trying out a new liquid moisturizer-DevaCurl Set it Free Moisture Lock. I purchased a trial size bottle from Ulta today. It really made my ng very soft. I parted my hair in 4 sections and sprayed the ng only and massaged it in. I followed up with DB Transitioning Creme and sealed with grapeseed oil/ayurvedic oils. I put my hair in 4 plaits, put on a plastic bag, my silk scarf and satin bonnet. I'll be doing my wash/DC tomorrow.
I haven't scheduled my appointment, yet. I hope I can get through the next 2 weeks. I'm trying to hold out.
