That's a whollotta hair on your head so I can see why you aren't feeling hair lazy.

My plans are to just CW and wig it. That's it and I'm loving it.

Your roller sets are gorgeous, so I know you can postpone your TU and still look fab!

Today, I CW and did a tea rinse under DC. I'm debating on what to do with my hair. I'm thinking about box braids for 6 weeks. I'm ready for a new look.

The one really good thing about stretching...is that if I have to itch my head I don't need to be concerned about burning

I know I'll wash my hair and maybe do another hot oil or tea rinse. But as far as styling goes I'm so lost I think I want to be heat free until my next relaxer....we'll see

I had the protein treatment all ready to go and threw it back into the drawer and got my AO GPB lol. This stretch is doing me right so far, so I'll ride it out to 14 or 15 weeks.

Thank you girl! I'm still trying to figure the whole rollersetting thing out. Its coming along though.

@klsjackson @Mande30 hey ladies!! I have recently incorporated a few new products in my regimen and I am in love! Why haven't I used these products before!! They are chi silk infusion and the Neutrogena triple moisture silken touch leave in cream...I have seen these two products all over the hair boards and YouTube but I've never tried them....I have been doing my hair an injustice..I use the Neutrogena as a lightweight moisturizer because depending on what I'm doing with my hair (which isn't much) sometimes the olive oil and mango butter is a little too heavy. Anyway, how are you ladies doing? Still relaxing in August?

mschristine
I love the Neutrogena. I use it as the C in my LOCO routine, after shampoos. I have not tried the CHI. How do you use it and what is it for? If it even has a hint of protein my hair will rebel.

Yes, I still plan to relax in August, at 12 weeks. I have 4 more weeks to go. Some days its a struggle and some days it is a breeze(Still trying to perfect my detangling method). I learned, by accident, that the LOC (O) method really does work. I did not do it after my wash last weekend. I had to remoisturize my hair everyday. It usually lasts at least 3 days when I do what I am supposed to do.

Altruisticoam I didn't realize you we're waiting for pics, lol. My apologies.

These pics were taken after being out in high humidity so some of my feathers have fallen completely flat. I had to go out and buy holding spray because of it which only gives a very, very light natural hold. Also, please excuse my skin too, I'm 39 and have suffered from acne at least 30 of those years. I don't wear foundation because it'll only make things worse so...







I can't stand hair in my eyes and struggled to keep the hair up so yesterday I cut the one side to just under my eyebrows. It made a huge
difference.

ETA: y'll please pay no attention to my bathroom. It's the only room in the house that we have not renovated yet. It's the ugliest antiquated mess I've ever seen. It's been 7 years and every year we say "next year"

It's a serum that helps with frizz and shine. I partially air dried and hair hair was so smooth. It was still big but smooth. I think it does have protein in it but I love it!

Hi buddies! I'm loving my hair right now. Working on keeping my regi simple and using the right products for my hair. I plan to go back to the salon in late August, like the 28th 29th for my next touch up. Since I got the trim during my last relaxed, it has been much easier to deal with my hair. I just have one small section that is under processed and that will be handled in August. Happy hair journey buddies!!

KiWiStyle, I like the wig! It definitely suits you. So how are you feeling about wigs now ? Way back when you wouldn't dare where a wig!

Thank you so much for posting . I think it looks cute and very appropriate for the summer. I can't wait to get another one but I'll probably wait till winter.

I am a wig convert for life!! Before, I had two other synthetic wigs that were basic bobs and no feathers, just straight. My family talked about me so bad, lol! Now everyone is saying how natural it looks, I get lots of compliments. I plan to wig it through the year so I'll be buying a few more but longer!

i will be in my ghetto little rat tail bun for the rest of the week. i am about 6 weeks post and my new growth is just starting to come in. i am too lazy to do anything else to my hair. last weekend was date night, so i used a lot of heat. the blow dryer and flat iron to curl my hair.

i have been using the app on my phone and i can't see my mentions. plus, i have to quote someone to post. i don't care for the app. oh and i cracked my screen. ya'll know i just got that phone right.... i called one place to fix it and they want $130..yeah ok... so my brother has a guy that can fix it for $35. i still gotta get a case.

I am glad that you went back to the salon and found a gem. You seem so much more happy about your hair, IMO.

Okay so y'all know I've been in a fight and my jar of Linange tipped the scale in my favor...temporarily. Yesterday, I was still ready to shave my head. I decided that I needed a haircut but if I went to the guy who normally cuts my hair I would wearing a bob or shorter! Tried to do it myself using Feye's method...bad move! Ended up with an inverted "u"...LOL! Good thing I'm fairly flexible...I took off about an inch and it feels pretty good now.

I'm glad everything came out ok. Are you liking your new length? Blunt ends make me swoon lol.

You look foxy with the wig girl! Its looks so natural. Do you have a system for making it look like that? Or is the wig just that bomb?

Thanks @EnExitStageLeft! It comes really nice right out the box but I bump it with my Sedu to give it more bounce to the ounce...ok, I'm telling my age, LOL! I'm thinking i might shampoo and DC her today. Yesterday I decided I'd like a middle bang so I butchered her. I love it!! Now I don't have to deal with hair falling in my face and wondering if I look "wigged" out, no pun intended. Take a look:




I think I am too cute these days. I still need to get my sparse eyebrows shaped...I only trust one person to do them and every time I go they are piled in there like the public aid office. She is really good so she has her very own waiting area. I have no patience but The Lord is working on me in that area.

Well I'll be a pigs butt, YOU MADE IT CUTER! I love bangs and it goes quite nicely with your face shape!! And I naturally have bush man brows and have to wax them. I do them myself and I know how to thread, but that joint HURTS! Waxing is about as painful as it can get for me lol.
