On a happy hair journey
I used sulfur for a short while. I used the regular Sulfur 8 grease almost daily. I can't say it effected my growth rate since I didn't use it for an extended period of time but it seemed to help grow in my edges. Castor oil did the same thing though so maybe it was from the daily massaging of that area and not necassarily the product applied. Anyway, it did stop my scalp from itching which was the main reason I started to use it and I didn't stink of sulfur but I was cooler at the time I was originally using it, plus, I don't sweat from the scalp much unless it's hot or I'm working out.
I applied some of the sulfur grease this weekend and since it has been super hot my hair did stink of sulfur so it has been shampooed out and I will wait for winter in order to finish the container.
I hope that answered something lol, sorry, for the ramble.

YES it did help! I'll definitely add to my MN mix now since it helps relieve itching.

Yeah, the texture softener sucks. I just cowshed and my hair seems like I'm 10 weeks post. Y'all I'm stuck for real. The good thing about the texture softener is it does soften the new growth. The bad is is did not solve my issue. My hair was already thick now it's times two. Im technically one week post and my next relaxer is in sept (16 weeks).
When I wet bun I feel like I have two humps on each side of my head, from my texlax hair.
I wash and dc once a week
Protein reconsructor w/Affirm every 4 weeks
M&S every Other day
I use the scarf method as well. I just wish my texture was a liitle straighter.
Now I cowash one a week with suave or infusuim 23
No major breakage or shedding
Suggestions please.

Light straighten my new growth, by using jFm texture instead of using a relaxer.
I'm having of flashback of using motions moisturizing relaxer. OMGosh that left me with all my texture. Like now.

NaturalfienD this look here is great on you!!!Hello All,
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Here are the pix (as promised) of my straight wig. I used about 2.5 packs of hair: 8 inch, 10 inch, and 12 inch ... word to the wise, never cut the hair while on the mannequin head because her head is smaller than yours.

@TheNDofUO how about maybe a plait braid out like the one I did this weekend! You can also do twists too or wear a cute wig for the dance with your hair underneath in a protective style!!!

The Princess there's great info I've read here @ LHCF on protein treatments! A protein reconstructor followed by a deep conditioning could work yet I'd wait to see what the other ladies recommend first they are experts when it comes to best treatments.
I am one product newbie Organic Coconut Oil (OCO) 4EVER!!! ....ah ok maybe not exactly forever but at least until my 6month HHJ Anniversary

I cut my hair again, lol, and I have been having good hair days all memorial week end. Pictures will be loaded as soon as I get my computer fixed. I love my new hair cut. I am feeling myself. My hair is like a normal thickness now. So happy with it.
I did a protein treatment, and my hair started shining, it is deflecting light and did I say I am feeling myself? Because I am, lol. Moisturized with SD vanilla silk, and set my hair with SD aliah's, and Miss Jessie's pudding. Still have some thin parts, going for thick hair by December.

The Princess I am not sure what your problem is but I will try to answer.
If you want to texlax with all your texture left, it seems like you have achieved that.
On the other hand if you want to lightly texlax, a normal relaxer with olive oil added works well. A lot of people (including myself) do this.
Now if you are not happy with your touch up and the amount of texture left, there are two things you can do:
1. You can choose not to stretch and relax again at 6-8 weeks time to correct the "bad" one.
2. You can do the relaxer application process again this week (on the new growth only!) to straighten your hair further before attempting to stretch.
Personally, I will go for (1) and relax in 6 weeks.

I feel the same pookaloo83. As you can tell my March length check pic and my September length check pic look pretty much the same.
Maybe our hair just took a break for the winter/spring and it will pick up for the summer. At least that's what I'm hoping.
