Great shine @BronxJazzy! How was it using the maxiglide?

I've watched the infomercials last year and was wondering if they really work well on a first pass through?

I love the maxiglide. It gets my hair straight without getting it too straight.

Yes it did get my hair straight in one pass and I only had it on 5 out of 10.

Mjon912 my last relaxer was September 2009 and believe it or not, I still have some relaxed ends lol. My hair was in one of those short tapered cuts.

Sounds like your plan is good. I guess the moisture thing you can kinda play by how it feels too.

Goodness, that really is a long transition... I've always been interested in my natural hair but I already know a BC isn't going to work for me (or my bf) and I don't have the patience to transition for that long, I 'transitioned' to Textlaxed at the beginningod my journey and thought I was going to die because of the hassle...

I've never been big on moisturizing my hair mid wash so we will see how this works out

 

[Mjon912]

Can anybody help out with some reviews??

What are you looking for reviews of

 

[NikkiQ]

Random: My hair has really thickened up... If only I could get some length **wishful thinking**

Also have any ladies tried both the hairveda whipped ends & the darcy's botanical transitioning creme? Any reviews or if you tried both which do you prefer? I want to keep stretching to preserve thickness but I know I have to ensure that my NG is nice and moist!

These are the reviews I was asking for. To help lovebug10 out

Same here ladies for safety sake lets just say I work for a State office. Policy says unless employees are wearing an "assistive medical device" for handicapped or disabled purposes removable "devices" are not prohibited. One of my staff required a letter from her doctor for the carpal tunnel in her wrists.

Unfortunately without it I could not order her an ergonomic platform or lower her keyboard to extend her arms and I actually head the IT department

They literally count every dollar spent. I think they believe we'll try to leave the building with a hard drive or floppy disk tucked in our hair

 

[NikkiQ]

This whole situation is just confusing to me so I'm just gonna keep on truckin

I really don't feel like shampooing my hair again before my install so I'm just gonna do a good conditioner cleanse and coat my hair with moisturizer after detangling.

i was suppose to wash my hair today. i guess i will do it tomorrow. so that means i will need to get up at 4:30-5am to do my hair Saturday before work. if that doesn't happen, i got my wig to save me. i guess i should wash that bad boy soon and don't wait until the last minute.

 

[PinkPeony]

Got my beloved Shea Moisture Deep Condi ( in the tub) I'll probably slap some on tomorow , seal and call it a day.

My maxi glide broke only had it for one year. Blessing in disguise.

It was okay

Pook how long do you think you'll leave these twists in?

I always leave my twists in for a week. Sometimes a week and a couple days. I'm on day 4.

[longhairdreaming]

Hey ladies! Checking back in...it's only been a few days but feels like forever. Got a lot to catching up to do. As to my hair I'm doing an overnight pre-poo with Argan oil and henna tomorrow after work with my Caca Mama Noir from Lush.

 

[longhairdreaming]

@coolsista-paris, yup your problem sounds similar to my sister's except the Ritz does allow wigs so long as they're realistic...no dreads or twists allowed though and they frown on braids.
