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.

I'm glad the Nairobi relaxer is working for you and that your edges are growing back. It'll only get better as you continue to not stress about them.

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 did a rollerset today too and though its not picture worthy either, it's still a nice change. I had to flat iron my roots because I'm texlaxed now in most areas. How long do you have to sit under your dryer? I do about 30-40 minutes on med/hot and then cool for another 10-15 minutes, usually about 40...45 minutes max.

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.

Oh you poor thing :-(. If it ain't one thing it's another.

It's at least an hour with rollers and clips. If I don't go at least an hour then the spot under each roller where it sits on my head never ever gets dry. I've always had a problem getting my hair dry. The hotter the dryer the worse it is because I sweat like a pig. I'm going to try the pony set ala EnExitStageLeft and hope that makes it better. We'll see.
 
I got a touchup yesterday and I felt super guilty only because so many of my girlfriends were cheering me on when I said I was transitioning to natural. Now what do I tell them? :( they will see me as a quitter and addict for the "creamy crack" :(

That said, it's so nice to comb through my hair :D I actually had my first SSK when taking out my braids and I had to cut it out to remove it :O Insane. I can't even imagine having to go through that on a regular basis.
 
Hey Everybody!!

Im very proud of my self, I will be 10 weeks post on Sunday, I CAN.NOT believe it, lol
I actually think I can go longer :)

What I have figured out is that if I flat iron my hair I can go waaaay longer than I thought .

That is just me of course, Im a heat user always will be , If I could ever have the tolerance to dry a rollerset I may try again, my hair dryer broke so Id have to air dry and that aint happening up in hea!

ahaha Loving how is it going buddy!?!?
 
KhandiB that's great. I tried stretching to 10 weeks once and I regretted it. 9 weeks is my maximum!

I'll be 6 weeks post on Saturday and belive me...I could get a T/U then with all this NG. My hair is soft and manageable though so I can go to 8 weeks without any issue.
 
Loving - I have a lot of new growth, When I scratch the top of my head, man, its like a jungle up in there, LOL!!!
But I did receive a nice compliment the other day at the grocery store, a lady walked up behind me and said my hair was so thick and beautiful, I was like what? I dont even consider my hair thick, lol, she said it was nice to see someone wearing their real hair in Baltimore, ahahah. then told me she was a hair dresser (her hair was hooked) said to call her if I ever wanted to get my hair done.. I dont know! HA!!
I might relax this weekend , depending on how long it takes me to get my son ready for school!

Oh an hour is too bad...candy crush saga and responding to posts here usually speed up time for me. I almost always NEVER sit under the dryer without my phone in hand. The ponytail set may take longer to dry where the holder sits, just something to think about.

Hey Buds! I'm hanging in there and my hair is doing pretty good.

Luprisi said:
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.
Click to expand...

I do a protein treatment the last wash before the relaxer, as a mid-step and then a protein the first wash after relaxing and my hair loves it! But I also do a moisturizing dc after neutralizing.

baddison said:
Yup, ApHogee 2min Reconstructor is a great relaxer mid-step protein!!:grin:

naija24 - never feel guilty about a decision YOU make about your hair. You can always transition again if you decide to. :yep:
