2014 Relaxed Hair Buddy Thread

[naija24]

so it's two weeks and now i know that the curlies are starting to pop out. i want to stretch for 8-10 weeks, which puts me at the second week of April to relax. But since I stretched previously to 16 weeks through using braids, I sometimes wonder if it is worth it. Even though I retain a lot more hair, I end up having to trim 1 inch anyway. Not sure if the end result justifies the cost on my hair and wallet.

Thank you so much! If I could I would! I just got out the hospital today. That is why I had to make sure my hair was done. I knew I would be down for awhile. I had my gallbladder removed.

Your twists came out great!! I need to come to your house so you can do mine.

Get well soon!!

Thank you lady! Oh then you can do it! I practiced, doing several twists before I got started. You are a pro if you can self braid.

Hey guys I'm reaching 10 weeks post right now! I want to wash my hair first before I relax it next week. What are some techniques you advices me to take. Should I do a DC or protein Cond???
Thank you

The week before a relaxer I always clarify and do a protein treatment. I would wash in braids to prevent unnecessary tangles. I also try not to irritate the scalp that week and minimal manipulation. Some ladies flat iron the hair for easier sectioning and application time

I flat iron. It makes it much easier and causes less breakage.

cassie712 sorry you are having shedding issues. It could be seasonal, hormonal, diet related, etc. Any idea what is causing it? We also have some great remedies to try to help like tea rinsing and fenugreek pastes.

Vitamin D level is the reason, I take 50.000 units a week

I'm supposed to relax next week too but I was lazy and didn't do my protein treatment this weekend. I think I'm going to do the protein treatment this coming Saturday and push the relaxer back one week. My new growth really isn't that crazy yet anyway.

You can relax today if you want or correct it by cowashing or DC with moisture and relax this Thursday.

My hair didn't like that mayo protein treatment either but it would've definitely helped to DC after. The key is to find out which one works for you through trial and error. I love most protein treatments with hydrolyzed wheat protein in them and keratin but I always follow with moisture dc unless its a balanced condish like ORS replenishing or Nexxus Keraphix.

 

[cassie712]

I'm good Now. I will try again and DC with my ORS
