Hi everyone..been a long time. Been swamped with nursing school and work.
Hope everyone is doing well. My hair is doing fantastic.did a texlax/texturizer touch up after a 4 months stretch.... I am about an inch past APL now......courtesy of protective styling in wigs. I forgot to take pictures. My camera is damaged so I havent had a chance to take any new pics..I 'll take some in august after my next touch up.

How many weeks post will you be in June? Did you retain a lot of growth with the twists?

I agree yoli184, it's been pretty busy and we've all kinda lost touch over the months. I can't wait to see pics when you can get one.

Hope ya'll are having a great hair week. I'm still trying to find a good balance with my M/S routine. I like that castor oil seals my ends well and doesn't feel weighed down. It's surprising because it feels so heavy, but my hair loves it.
I'm still hanging strong with taking my vitamins daily and I'm hoping to see some good growth when I relax in July.
Newgrowth is in full effect, so I've got to find time to shampoo/dc tonight with Nexxus. We'll see how that goes....

I do it LCO but the LOC way causes me buildup. I actually moisturize less if I do LCO since everything gets trapped.

Hi buddies. Well I self relaxed for the first time. I think it went well. I am pretty sure I overlapped the relaxer onto previously relaxed hair in the back. I think about an inch past my new growth got relaxer on it. Any ideas of what I should do to prevent a setback in that area and how I can avoid that in the future?

Guess I do the LCO method as well. Works best for my ends.

Hey! Can't wait to see pics? Did you cover your pre-relaxed hair with anything? Oil, Vaseline, CHI silk infusion? You have to just over nurture that area. M/s more than usual and light protein every wash. No stress or extra tension on that area. That's what I did but in my case I severely overprocessed so it thinned out pretty bad.

Hi Everyone!
I used to be on these forums all the time but serious protective styling put me in a blogging slump. Well - I'm back!
Dunno if anyone remembers me :/
I'm currently 22 weeks on a 32 weeks stretch because I am insane.
My avi is last week's braidout and my siggy is my last length check done in November 2013 - hoping for MBL this July but who knows....

U have the old formula. But I don't think I'm going to be repurchasing. I don't like how difficult it is to use with it's consistency. I'm think of trying Nexxus Emergencee. Anyone used it?

cassie712 Glad your DH is better!
Rozlewis Hope the newly relaxed hair is treating you well!
I washed and henna'd yesterday. I don't think I got much color release but the package I used was quite old! My hair feels nice though, much better than the first time I tried a few years ago (hair was super hard for weeks)

Hey buddies - Glad all is well.
cassie712 - I am sure you hair is doing well. We all go through that. I usually cowash in the middle of the week but my husband is on 2nd shift (3 - 11) so I am doing mommy duty all alone. With work, sinner, and homework my hair has to wait. I hate these weeks.
emada - I did a henna treatment last week. I done one at the end of every month. I love how it makes my hair feel too. I use Jamilia BAQ henna buy once I run out I think I will try another brand. What brand do you use?

I didn't put anything on the relaxed hair. I know I should have but when I was practicing with conditioner, I tried putting oil and Roux porosity control on the relaxed hair. Both made it difficult for me to part the sections. It made my relaxed hair difficult to separate. So, I decided in order to apply the relaxer in a timely manner, I wouldn't put anything on my relaxed hair. So far, I am not getting any breakage or thinning. I am really going to baby that hair. I applied the relaxer to the back last so it didn't stay on that long. Hopefully, it isn't too damaged. So far, so good.
I'm tech illiterate. If I can figure out how to get pictures from my phone to the computer, I will post them.
