We r 2wks post!!! YAY!
Any weekend plans?
This weekend will be the 1st time me washing my hair since relaxing 2wks ago. I plan on spraying my scalp w/ rose water and appying some walnut oil on my ends (like a pre-poo). Next I will DC on dry hair for a couple of hours & then shampoo w/ Joico K-Pak reconstructor and then apply Ahogee(sp) 2min and then co-rinse w/ some Herbal Essence.
As far as style, I think I will either due a WnG or a braid out in the front of my hair and a french roll in the back.

Girl...this winter cold is driving me crazy. Extra, Extra moisturizing and baggying is the only thing keeping my hair from drying out in the cold. Plus keeping my head covered almost all the time is helping too. I feel some ng pushing thru, and I'm bracing for this next long strecth. Also trying to diversify my protective styles. The buns are getting old and stuffy. Slapped in two cornbraids today, and then put the rest back in a bun.
Can't wait to DC tomorrow. I'll be doing an overnight hot oil treatment too.

Hello buddies!! GhanaGirl klsjackson hnntrr Mande30 I've been super busy this week at work and its been raining all day everyday this week and my hair is a frizzy mess! I have a well deserves three day weekend so I'm gonna treat my hair to nice long prepoo with some castor/coconut and grapeseed oil and then cowash with Giovanni 50/50 or smooth as silk.

You should see me rolling down the x-way finger combing so that I don't look like A bush woman by the time I get to work, sometimes "all crazy" is as good as it gets! I'm not winning any beauty contests but I'm clean. LOL I'll be all cute again next week, though.
7 days...bye, bye bush woman!
We definitely temporarily sacrifice beauty for the better good of thick, long and healthy hair. I must admit, my hair is almost always neat and presentable. This is my most recent braid a few days ago, I won't take it down until tomorrow.
Bye, Bye Bush Lady, LOL!!

Hey!!!! mschristine
I am looking forward to this three day weekend also. Got a little extra sleep this morning. We had a little snow yesterday and ice this morning, delayed work/school day.
I am planning for a little more TLC for my hair as well. Of course I will practice my self relaxing. I plan to set up some mirrors since I scratched my dear Mother. And DH is giving me fits. He will not practice. So I have come to the conclusion that I am doing this alone.

I used to use mizani BB no lye & I would get lots of shedding & sum breakage afterwards.
I have changed a couple of things, & I think this is why I have less shedding & next to no breakage.
1. I changed relaxer brands.
2. I became a self relaxer
3. I changed from no lye to lye
4. I added the protein step prior to neutralizing.
I like the linange better than the mizani cause it didn't burn & it didn't get my hair straight. With the linange I still have sum curl but less frizz & no courseness.
There's a thread called(I think), alter ego shea butter relaxer. That was really helpful to me & ultimately helped me w/ the decision to self relax & switch relaxers.
I hope this helps
let me know if u have anymore questions.Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch Q using LHCF

I don't have any help when I self relax either. Keep practicing with conditioner and by the time it's time to relax, it will be super easy

Hi all!! mschristine; GhanaGirl; hnntrr; Mande30:
I too have been busy this week, but I kept my weekly wash day, which was last night. I did my usual routine (I posted last week). Hair turned out lovely!! I actually got a few mentions and compliments about it at work today. I'm in the no buy challenge, but I ordered some Avocado oil from Amazon.com. I used the last of it during my wash day last week. Other than that everything so far is smooth sailing.

irisak, so I just relaxed at 12 weeks post on tomorrow and not much shedding during the relaxer process, but some shedding more than my stylist liked during the rollerset. With that said, we both agreed to 8 to 10 weeks max! So back to every 2 1/2 months and I'm okay with that as long as hair health is optimal. I trust him though, so no setbacks to MBL this year!
How are you and the hair hun?

Glad we're all doing good. I've been bunning and I love how my ends stay moist all day. I know it looks like a boring style, but my goal is to MBL by Christmas and bunning is the fastest way to get there for me.
I've been cowashing with Wen Spring Gardenia every other day. I think I'll dc with Nexxus Humectress tonight for a good moisture boost.
I'm noticing a couple bumps of newgrowth.

I got it on, ladies! I'm pretty sure I got it straighter than I wanted but this was my first time adding anything(EVOO) to the relaxer...totally scared of the Franken-hair result. Anyway, I'm relaxed/ Texlaxed, conditioned(pre-shampoo neutralized), neutralized and under heat cap with a combo of Roux PC and Mizani Kerafuse. I saw some pretty nice length but I also noticed a "bit" of lost hair in the shower. Pics to come.
