Hey ladies! I did my first post relaxer wash yesterday and it went very well. I didn't pre-poo because it was very impromptu, my dad had an out patient surgery so I decided to come home and shampoo while I waited.
I washed with my Nairobi Pamperlizer (neutralizer) shampoo and followed that with Paul Mitchell Awapuhi wild ginger moisturizing shampoo. I then steam DC for about 30 minutes with my usual mix of:
Nairobi Humecta-Sil
QB Olive & Honey Hydrating Balm
EVOO
Sesame seed oil
ROUX PC conditioner
AVJ.
LORD HAVE MERCY!! I cannot get enough of this power mix! After that I applied kimmytube leave-in conditioner and air dried using the scarf method. My hair felt unbelievable afterwards even without M&S. I am thoroughly texlaxed at my nape and front/middle hairline the rest could use less processing. My air dried pony is much thicker, the diameter feels nice finally!! I just now moisturized and sealed using the LOC method with QB BRBC & my ceramide oil mix...my hair is still full even with product in it!! Because I've been using Roux PC conditioner I am extremely low porosity now so I whole head baggied to be sure the moisture sinks all the way into my strands.
BTW, my chemical burn and scalp is healed for the most part. I don't know if I lost any hair but I'm not going to look to find out. I'm having a good hair moment and I ain't going to ruin it. Thanks again to ALL who offered suggestions.

Lady...pissed is the nice of how i feel. He insisted on getting a vip table 2 weeks ago. Called her Thursday and tells this bs story about the lady telling him if your sitting at a RKelly concert then your not having fun. I was like bs there is no way she tried to talk him out of getting a 200 dollar table to 25 dollar tickets. I had my white ready!!! His *** waited til the last minute or decided he wasn't that invested (1 month in)....i don't know but i told her i never want to meet him. Be a man of your word or tell the truth..that simple

Dude was tryna' impress but his dolla' just wouldn't stretch that far
.
He came back with more redemption...offered to buy us all 25 dollar tickets. I didn't want to stand. I'll wait for him when he comes to the Fox.
On another note, i did a prepoo last night with emergencia mixed with oils, sat under the dryer. My eyes didn't burn but one spot on the top of my head did....i despise the dryer. Airdried and my hair is nice and fluffy. May do a quick cowash later so i can add a leave in.

Personally (since I'm such a stickler...) I have mapped out my year (Lord willing...) to relax using this schedule
1st Relaxer (17weeks after Dec 22nd) = April 20th
2nd Relaxer (18weesk after April 27th) = August 24th
3rd Relaxer (17weeks after Aug. 24th) = December 21st
Holla back..!!

OK.....buddies...
, sadly, I need to stick to my original relaxer schedule for 2013. I thought I could modify the schedule to stretch longer with some of you, but circumstances prevent it. I am traveling extensively all the way to mid-September. So, I'll be relaxing on the 24th of August, according to my original plan....and will relax again 17weeks after that to complete my 3 relaxers for the 2013 year. Will come back to post progress pics as soon as I can. GO! - GO! - GO! - team 17/18 weeks!!!

baddison, I will be ending my stretch soon. I can't deal with this mess. Not even gonna lie.
SunySydeofLyfe, sorry you can't go. DH and I were going until we found out it's all white. I'm not in the mood to be being all white for the event and never really where it again. I don't do white typically because it dirties too quickly. Or another way to say it, I'm too careless.

You know baddison, because I want a fresh relaxer near the end of the year AND I've been thinking that 16 weeks is sufficient a stretch I too may stick to relaxing early to mid September BUT then relax again at the end of the year which would be about 16 weeks post. I now know that I can stretch and do so easily, I just feel like I enjoy my hair more outside of the deep stretch. I am ok with a relaxer every 4 months for a total of about 3 relaxers a year

Hey Y'ALL! So... I will be 19 weeks post this Saturday and you know what that means... Time to 2 Step (SunySydeofLyfe - No pun intended). I will relax next weekend at 20 weeks post!!! Right on schedule.
Quick question: Anyone ever do a hard protein and henna in the same day? If so, what was your process?

Normally, I do my henna the week BEFORE the relaxer, and the intense protein treatment the week AFTER the relaxer. This way, I know the hair is protected from both ends...

I will be doing my two step protein Tx on Monday and hopefully get relaxed the following Friday. Ive never done the 2 step one so im a bit anxious. Also, are you doing a mid step protein before neutrizing? I'm afraid it might be too much protein for me.

How do u like your dryer? Did the roller set work? Sorry responding so late. I have been going through some things! Lol my edges are starting to fill back in. I will post some pics when I can get on my laptop. For those of us that havent relaxed yet how many weeks post are u? I haven't been able to go this long in such a long time.I give credit to Nairobi relaxer and not being under processed.

Luprisi I always 2 Step and mid-step. My hair loves protein, so it's not too much for me. I also use Aphogee for both. 2 Step for the hardcore, 2 min for the mid-step.

I love the dryer...I just hate sitting underneath it...LOL. Sorry you've been going through some things, I hope things are getting better. Nice work on the edges, I know that was a pain. I have an edge problem too--evil gray hair! My first stab at a roller set in 5 or 6 years was respectable but nothing picture worthy. How many weeks post are you?

I will try that as well. I'm excited to see how much length I gained.

Thanks for the edge support! Lol I will be 11 weeks post. I hate sitting with my hands under the dryer. I get antsy and just walk out! I take my own polish with me for smudges. Anyway, I've had issue after issue. I got bit in the eye by a spider, minor surgical procedure, etc. Just can't get right! Lol I just washed my hair today. I didn't get to put the color in.
