Hey buds! I'm chillin' at 14 weeks post. I'm in the no heat challenge, so all my dc's are done cold. I just leave it on for an hour or so.
Another thing keeping my ng in check is my weekly honey treatments. Would you believe that I'm still able to wet-detangle without using my beloved Mane n Tail detangling spray??? I can't believe it myself! They honey has kept my ng so soft and tangle-free. Going 20 weeks will be a breeze at this rate!
Luprisi, I never do a hard protein treatment. The light protein in Motions CPR is all my hair needs.

@Luprisi, congrats on finding a great technique that works. I have low porosity so I stay away from avj. ETA: I don't do hard protein treatments. I stick with gentle products like Ion Effective Care. In addition to low porosity, I'm also protein sensitive. I go weeks/months without using protein. Matter fact, I can use a moisturizer with hydrolized wheat protein and it give my hair strength as though I've completed a protein treatment.
sunnieb,
that's impressive. How often are you using honey? I used it last night. I need to get back in the habit of using it.

Luprisi I do Aphogee 2 Step a week before I relax. After this relaxer (in 4 weeks, which will be 20 weeks post), I will incorporate them every 6 weeks and relax either on the 13th or 19th week (which will always be one week after the treatment). I've used the 2 Step twice and love it. Some use Nexxus Emergencee with favorable results. HTH

Alright buddies - I'mwondering if any of you have tried DesignEssentials relaxer. I've been using Mizani Butter Blends for close to 5 years now. I'm thinking to try something new with this next relaxer. Perhaps Affirm, or DesignEssentials. Any other recommendations?
I don't use box-relaxers. There's never enough in one box to cover 4months worth of new growth for me,so I would have to buy multiple boxes. Cant bother with that. And I prefer to use the Professional Lye, rather than the No-Lye...its less drying for me. So,come on ladies - lets hear what you're using to relax. I'm looking for really smooth relaxer, not bone-straight, but a bit more relaxed than texlaxed. After 5 years, Mizani Butter Blends MILD is doing nothing anymore...

baddison... Linage Lye just is the business. Leaves enough texture for thickness and body! A few ladies in this thread live by DE Relaxer... I just know Linange is amazing as well.

I wish you were using it soon! My hair is Fine but I use regular. I would like to know will it get my hair straight? I have low porosity and I dont need much protein. So I wonder would it take?

I'm going to do a test patch to determine how many minutes to have my sister leave it on. The instruction says 8-13 minutes max for fine hair but up to a max of 20 minutes for medium and very course hair. I have fine hair too but want to texlax so I probably won't go beyond 10 minutes in my most course areas.
My old stylist used it over the last two years and it has gotten me straight until I decided I no longer wanted to be bonelaxed.
I have this huge 4lbs tub and if you want I can let you sample it on shed hair to see if it gets you straight enough.

I hope I tagged everyone!
So I received a bottle of Hair trigger growth elixir with vanilla pound cake scent and applied to my scalp last night. Let me te you, the smell was bothering me quite a bit at first but today I love the way it smells on my hair! I guess I was smelling a lot of garlic and onion at first but the vanilla scent lingers after that and it's just lovely. I will continue to use it but I will apply it just at night! I was using liquid gold but because I gave myself permission to end my stretch anytime after week 20 I stopped using it now.

yeah... most of the growth oils and elixirs take getting used to. but then, after a while, you don't even smell it...
The results are totally worth it. I am using NJOY's concoction, and am seeing amazing results just after one month of consistent, faithful applications.

SunySydeofLyfe when you relax with Nairobi, do you do a mid-step protein treatment? If yes, which Nairobi product do you use?

This last TU is used Affirm 5n1 trying to use it up. The Nairobi directions suggest the Humecta-sil. I am thinking of trying procta-sil. then again I am trying to use up some stuff so who knows.
What do you use??

I thought for sure you had a Nairobi line-up on relaxer day as the Nairobi Queen around here, lol! I'm thinking of buying the Stimu-Sil because its highly recommended after relaxers. However...I normally use Aphogee 2-step in my pre-relaxer wash. My stylist always used her DC but I'm not going to her this time so I have to decide which DC to use. I don't think Stimu-Sil is a DC, I'll probably just mix my regular concoction; humecta-sil, EVOO, sesame oil, ROUX PC and QB OHHB. I'm not sure if I need to do a pre-relaxer protein treatment If I do the Mid-step one. I need to pull out my science of black hair book.

I loooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeee that video! It's one of my favorites. I had to show my hubby as well. That is my ultimate goal to have long, healthy straight natural hair. However, I won't be transitioning until I reach a length between SL and APL. I really like my 4A curls. No more BC's!
