2014 Relaxed Hair Buddy Thread

I think you may have gotten the wrong one. The conditioning balm is suppose to compare to the Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm.

Thanks! Back to sallys I go...I say that one and said no it this one. ..listen to your first mind! !!

Not to be intrusive. Where are you on the west coast? I know a few good stylist in the bay area.

I did that drive from Atlanta to san Jose, ca....hated it and drove back lol. I hope you love wherever you've moved the weather change should be nice!

Suny

Thank so much, yes I am glad to get away from the snow. I'm in Las Vegas now

Yeah texlax is a gift and curse for me. Texlaxed hair is fuller than bonelaxed but I seem to have so many problems. I wish I knew a solution...I'd bottle it up and sell it! !! Lol. Honestly being on lhcf has also been a gift and curse I care so much about retaining not using heat not doing this or that...that I dont find any enjoyment with my hair. I use to keep a do...now not so much for fear of a setback....how to find the best of both worlds is the wl hair question! ?!? Hope it gets better for you! !

Girl I went out of the house with a scarf on and ran into an old friend. I wanted to die! I was trying to escape from him, but he was following me with his cart, asking questions! I was looking busted, my kids were looking busted, etc...it was a mess! I was just trying to get some ingredients to make some biscuits!

You have to always think your fly even when your not. I would have stood up there like i was in a prom dress!! Lol...exude confidece at all times. Woman rule #1.

This sahm life has me all kinds of too relaxed. I got a new lipstick today and put it on...went to pic up 12 yo dd and she looked at me all kinds of sideways!

We need a challenge or join the that girl challenge! Whats up?

One thing I do do is get the baby dressed every morning. Feed her, wash her up, clothe and do her hair....now me on the other hand I wash up and live in my sleep cap and old maternity dresses. ..shame....lol...

Yes, what EnExitStageLeft days. If it's in fact comparable to biolage, then it's some good stuff!

Hi ladies! My apologies for my absence, I'm in a serious hair funk and I can't snap out of it. I wonder if it has to do with me being texlaxed now and having to be super gentle and having to deal with dryer and more rough hair.

I'm getting my texlax next Saturday at 12 weeks post and contemplating doing a two-step on Monday. I haven't done a henndigo treatment in months but I don't plan to do one until after my relaxer as to prevent unnecessary tangles and breakage.

I'm really considering going back to bonelaxed with slight texture like before, my hair looked healthier and retained better then.

I know that it may be frustrating now, but once you get it down to a science it'll be easy breezy. Texlaxed hair was awesome for my fine strands. I highly suggest you stick to it. Your hair looks so luscious. Please don't give in just yet.

My hair looks like a rat's nest. It is dry and matted. I washed it last week and left it to dry, undetangled in clips. So I am working on removing tangles and shed hairs with some oil. Going to give myself a hot oil treatment. Yeah I'm just not feeling my hair right now, but I better do something before I don't have any to complain about!

Texlax hair is a beast I don't think I can tame.

May hair would be the exact same way . Tangly hair sucks, but unfortunately it's what we're blessed with. *SADNESS* and for moral supportment. Like riley (Mochakid on Youtube) "I DON'T LIKE DETANGLING!" *Makes a pout face....

Hello ladies and welcome @lamaria211 @317537 @nappytherapy @kukaberry

I know I have been MIA. So much has happened in the last month... Moved all the way to the west coast and still trying to get settled.

Today I'm exactly 9 weeks post. I have no idea when I'll relax next...I don't really know any stylist is the area and I haven't started work yet so I'm hesitant to shell out $70-100....

I'm the mean time I've been doing lots of co-washes while traveling (we drove here from the east coast). But now that I have my stuff unpacked I've been deep conditioning under my hooded dryer.

I'm so glad our group is growing because I need all the support I can get to reach my goal of full APL and beyond this year!

HEY GIRL! I was wondering where you were. Are you still setting every once in a while? Your sets always look so nice.

I got what @EnExitStageLeft recommended and the silk elements. I had a love affair with silk elements. ..maybe I need to go back to my beloved nairobi. ..these issues have to be user error. ...

Suny

I got it but it compares to nexxus my hair didnt respond well...I still bought it to try cause I trust your judgement! !! Worst case ill mix it with some fenugreek which I still haven't tried! !!

Did you ever get the right one? If so, prepare to weep in delight. That stuff is my jammy . I was at Sally's today to get a foam head to hang my wig on. I was sooooooooooo mad it was on sale. I already have like 8 bottles. I didn't need more. I wanted it though

KiWiStyle

It is indeed awesome. At one point it was my HG. Cheap and melted my hair like butter. Especially with heat, added oils and honey....LAWD! My sheds are slipping out just thinking about it .

I still got conditioner in my hair from yesterday with the plastic cap on. I was just so tired. Now my kids are up, so I gotta wait for the little guy to take a nap to rinse it out. Oh I decided I'm not stretching nothing. I'm going to have my mom or my girl relax this crap in the next 5 days. I can stretch better during the warmer months, but this tangle mess is for the birds.

So january 7 I did my highlights over at the hair salon.
This salon added a color instead of just using bleach. Which was much healthier for my hair. I also added long layers. I tried to take a picture. Sorry if its blurry.

ok crew, i have decided i am going to cut my hair again. just thinking about what Suny said about using to her hair being styled, i need a change. i want a hairstyle, plus it will give me a reason to cut some more of this hair off to start from scratch this year. i want to get an short asymmetrical bob. so i may cut it down neck and ear length. hopefully, i can get it done this week. i don't plan on stretching either. i will go 6-8 weeks at the most. even when this style starts to grow out, i will still have a style.

I use Motions CPR as my protein dc. It's a light protein and my hair responds to it. I mix in a small amount of honey and EVOO too.

Why 12...have you stretched longer. Forgive me if you've already answered. Im so tempted...12 weeks for me would be in 2.... I think my hair would appreciate me more if I did.

I have stretched up to 17 weeks but I didn't see any real benefits to stretching beyond 12 weeks. Especially now that I'm texlaxed, my hair rebels like the teenager from hell and I get lazy because I don't want to be bothered and because I don't want to see broken hairs all over my bath floor.
My tightly coiled 4b-something hair is nothing to play with.
