Ok im using this post to attach everyone's mame! Here are my senegalese twists i installed myself. I got a lot of hair on my head!
Very Nice and the color looks really good !

it seriously depends on your hair. o have heard many say its suppose to be hard protein but it left their hair really soft and behaved more like a light or mediun protein
emada, Hi. I am at 12 weeks so I have 4 more to go. My new growth has been manageable. I just finished cowashing and my hair feels really good. I am getting better at handling my new growth. I will relax 3 times this year (April 11th, August 15th, and December 19th). Trying to get to 2 times a year but that will take a lot of patience and practice. For now 16 is good for me. I go to the salon for my relaxers. I tried self-relaxing one time and it was an under processed mess. never again for me.
Hi Buddies...where y'all at?
What's going on Saludable84? How are you and the baby?
Saludable84 I stop applying oil to my scalp and every since I made this decision my hair is singing so many praises!
So I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this in, but I'm posting it here anyway.
I am considering relaxing my hair. I am currently natural but I am sick and tired of the tangles and not being able to really enjoy my hair.
What advice can you give to help me prepare for the relaxer and daily care after I apply the relaxer? (specifically, what type of relaxer to use, regimens that work for fine hair; etc)
TIA
Good. Still waiting to get my energy back and dealing with pregnancy brain while having the appetite of a teenage boy. I wanted to ask if that eluence acidifying can be used as a clarifier. Your really the only source out there.
I don't know how helpful I can be but I'll try . I would suggest blowdrying your hair or doing some style that stretches it out depending on how much natural hair you have, and depending on how relaxed you want to go. Also, clarify and DC your hair at least several days before, and make sure to base your scalp (don't end up with a dry scalp like I did ).So I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this in, but I'm posting it here anyway.

HA!! I am soooo style challenged!! I'm not creative like a lot of online ladies and I'm lazy. Not a dang thing about that changed once I relaxed . Honestly, I find relaxed hair to take longer for me and requires more attention on wash day. But my natural hair was hard to tangle, while my relaxed hair velcros together erplexed. I relaxed because my hatred of shrinkage blinded me to the ease of my hair .LOL!! I know re:regretting getting it relaxed. I've been going back and forth for about a year now. I remember why I cut to begin with:ridiculous stylists who had no respect for my time; thinning hair, etc. but since going natural my hair has grown longer than it has ever in all my life and I think it's because I know much more about its care and do more than just stick it in a bun, or put in braids when I get bored. I'm hoping those healthy hair practices will carry into relaxed? I don't know. I'm just at a loss for styling ideas. I went to work today in two corn row braids, looking like a 12 year old. I don't like to wear it out because it's such a pain to detangle at the end of the day. Wearing it straight is not feasible because I work out like 5 times a week.
I'll check out optimum, although I'm going to a stylist to get it done.
