Really think I need to start processing my relaxer longer. I'm not liking my poofy hair. This last relaxer, I did the half and half method and processed each section like 17 minutes. The time before that I processed each section 13 minutes and it was like not a drop of creamy crack had touched my hair. Before I started this journey, I would self relax my whole head and process my hair until God know's when and parts of my hair would still come out under processed smh... what am I doing wrong???
It could be a number of things:
1.Maybe your relaxer isn't strong enough for your hair type
2. Maybe you are pre basing too much
3. Maybe your smoothing time and technique should be modified according to your hair type
I have found that even though my hair is fine and is easily relaxed, if the smoothing and processing time aren't accurate, the stylist has just wasted my time because my hair will not process correctly.
I had been fully natural for a little over a year when I decided to relax again. I told the stylist not to over process my hair and I would be timing herHer smoothing technique sucked and while my hair looked straight, when the relaxer was rinsed out, it was anything but straight. I was so under processed that I still looked natural.
Boo that.
Cant wait til I'm apl... Actually I just cant wait to be back in familiar territory really. From bald to apl is all brand new for me and I've just kind of being rolling with the punches as I go. Once I hit apl then bsb shouldnt be that far behind and then its easy street for me because I've been there before and know exactly what to expect. But this whole waiting game is killing me lol
Does anyone else feel like this journey to apl has been a struggle? I swear it has been so frustrating. I have had a few set backs that have made this journey soooo long.
So sorry for the long post ladies, you really don't know how hard l have been working to retain length. But now l know its growing.

I so identify with you! My current length (CBL in back/ CL in front and sides) is the longest my hair has ever been. Currently my edges are struggling. The hair there is so fragile. I'm trying to figure out a way to maintain growth and repair breakage there. I'm currently wearing twists but detangling is killing it. Still discovering what will work.
Congrats on your success!
My hair is doing well here is a pic.of my hairstyles over the last 2 weeks
All my bun lovers. I found this video on a twisted side bun that's cute and easy. Looks like a good way to change up the plain old bun. I'll probably try it out next week. Here's the link.
