Some ladies keep it really simple and use shea butter and EVOO. My braidouts are always a result from wearing my Celies for a week or more. I use a leave in condish and them either SM Deep Treatment Masque, Curl Enhancing Smoothie, or Curl Milk. I've used a wee bit of gel before, but I ended up with flakes when I took the braids down. Not a hot look on freshly dyed red hair.

thanks! NikkiQ I'm hoping to be able to claim it soon! I want to be close to BSL if possible by May which is my graduation from law school. I wanna swing my hair across the stage!! haha
Thanks. I'm going to try to keep it simple too. Do you remember what kind of gel you used before? I want to make sure I stay away from it.

My boyfriend and I have been "discussing" my hair for the last little while.
I was desperate for a bob, he wanted me to continue to grow it out.
We met in the middle.
I had it cut and relaxed yesterday, feels so nice to have it short again, it's so easy!
Stretching with longer hair was not working for me.
We went swimming on Tuesday, and I saturated my hair with conditioner before braiding it in French braids to keep it safe.
Wouldn't you know that the middle of my head still matted up so badly that the stylist had to cut some pieces out.
So I think I might start relaxing between 8--12 weeks, no more stretching.
I'm going to enjoy my hair until my next relaxer, then I'm going to work hard to get back to apl by December!
I think I need another couple inches.
