I used to do the same thing when i was relaxed.... hated that relaxer smell and pin straight look.... maybe not the same day, but definitely by the 3rd day I would wash my hair.

Once I found LHCF and started texlaxing and doing my own hair I didnt have that issue.

Thankfully I don't get the relaxer smell.

Ok here's my fur baby...Macy Lavender (yes she has a middle name)

Close up:

In action:

Don't know how she will act when I have kids!

I love the middle name! My fur baby's name is Rilee Martin (my oldest kids last name), lol. He has my last name. I'll introduce him later.

I think I have a sickness. I just got my relaxer yesterday, paid $80, put in a bun when I got home, hot oil treatment and shampoo/DC today. I don't like my hair down much and my hair don't feel very moisturized leaving the shop even after m&s twice. I need to put my own goodness back in my hair because it doesn't have that "cool" feeling to let you know it's really moisturized. I do this after every relaxer but I think this is a record for me. Do you'll do this? Or is it just me?

I never really cared for the way my hair felt when I was going to the shop. I always felt like I just needed to let them do what I couldn't do and I could straighten it out later. Once I made the leap for relaxing the only thing left was cutting. That, I do not do but that is the only thing.
 
Girl i started all the way over...22,20,11 and 3 months....

You talk about tired. All i can say is love can make you foolish!!!

Uh uh! My kids were 5 and 8 when I met the love of my life. By then I had been down the same road as KIWI ( burnt, tied, chopped, etc.). Thank the Lawd! I would have lost my mind and had more :). Aren't grands the best...I can always tell them "go witcha Mama" LOL!

growbaby Spencer has me speechless!!!:lachen:

It's a cold and snowy weekend, so I guess it's time to cowash these twists and restyle. Sorry ladies, it's probably going to be a boring style. I'm 3 weeks in; I think I can make it until Valetine's day as long as I come up with a cute style.:yep:

Lol sometimes it's good to talk about something else for a day. Helps take our mind off of hair for a bit.

Sent from my Android...Boom.

shortdub78 thanks! It's going well so far! I can say that I've really noticeed a change in my hair, how about you...I'm having a boy!!! What are you having

Lurkee welcome, when ever I curl my hair it drops before I get to my car, never fails, idk what's up with my hair =\ it's always been like this, my hair was the healthiest and longest back in HS since I went to the Dominicans every week and still never held a curl without a spray or something and I was BSL back then...thanks tho, I keep waiting for a major growth spurt, I haven't seen one yet =\

NikkiQ thanks and congrats on almost hitting 2years, I can't imagine, I bet it probably feels like 'dang did I really make it'...I can't wait to have that feeling!!!
 
Hey ladies, all is well. I been working on a new regimen that I will be sticking to until at least June. I am shampooing once a week and then DC once I airdry I will put my hair into braids and wear my wig throughout the week. After 3 or 4 days with the braids still in I will co wash and airdry the braids. I will continue to wear my wig then do it all over again starting with a shampoo and DC on the 6th or 7th day. While my hair is in braids I will use a spray moisturizer and then seal with an oil 2x per day. Pretty simple and I starting to love it. Just cant wait to see if I get any better results doing this. Its also great for protecting my hair and low manipulation.
 
SimJam....awww that's unfortunate. John Legend was NOT gonna miss me. No ma'am!

Me and a close gf of mine are hitting up the Frenchmen VIP lounge. Can't wait!
 
Currently baggying my whole head in preparation for wash day.

Using almond oil (from the drug store, but it's supposed to be pure). Never used almond oil, but I suspect since I'm washing it tomorrow my hair will be fine.

Now I just need to figure out how I want to style my hair next.
 
Relaxed my hair today and tried to do a corrective but no luck.
Had to wash the front half out a little early cause it started to burn. Major fail hopefully not a set back tho.
Here is a length check (this is not how I wear my usual bra btw). so I'm about the same it feels.
Idk oh wells

And my left side is wayy shorter than my right :$

ETA: I air dried until 50% dry and then blow dried. And quickly flat ironed some poofy parts.

Your hair looks very nice UGQueen even IF you are wearing your bra a little higher, you are definitely almost there!

Looking at old pics now since my 2 year nappiversary is slowly creeping up. Can't believe how long it has been already!

Heeeeeeeey, I remember my 2-year nappiversary, I made APL, it was the best. Hope you've got a good style planned for that day :grin:

I still don't believe it @KiWiStyle :nono:

:yep:
19, 15 and 10......lol
I'll be 40 this year!:lachen::lachen:

Ok since everyones bragging about their kids

I have a 9 year old and twin 9 month olds :grin:

OMG SimJam that cat? He looks like a handful and the cutest thing EVER

Sounds like a good plan mami2010

Hey ladies, I have a few pics to add today, so the first one is the wig I bought recently, it is Outre Quick Weave "Brie" in 1B. I cut it and styled it an I like it, but it is definitely a short-term wig: the bottom is tangling something crazy and the shedding? It's enough to make me holler!

And my fur baby, Harley, he's a 3-year old Maltese and he's super crazy and I love him :grin:

I'm still going strong with the cornrows (For $35, what choice do I have? LOL) and using my sulphur. Lately, I've been getting the itch to wear my hair straight, or just anyway to show that I have length now, you know? I feel like I am doing all of this for NOTHING b/c nobody (not even me) ever gets to see my hair. Oh well, I'm really going to have to re-evaluate my plans when I make it to BSL
 
All this baby talk just reminded me that I have to pick up my BC from the pharmacy this afternoon. :look:

I'm deep conditioning on unwashed hair right now. Some of you say it works well, so we shall see.
 
I self relaxed yesterday, but I didn't straighten since I just used heat last week. This is a first for me. I figure I have a good idea of the progress that I made this time. I air dried and plan to bun this week. I've missed bunning!
 
I finally ordered all of my vitamins but I haven't started taking them yet:look:
Liquid Multi
Fish oil
biotin
Kelp
B50

BTW I dc with the Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque again today. I've seen some not so favorable reviews but my hair is loving it so far. The first time I tried it I liked it, I wasn't wow'd by it but I liked it. Today I added a tsp of olive oil and dc for 45mins. I loved the results. My hair was soft but strong, also when I comb through my hair I didn't have a single strand of hair in my shower comb, which I always do. Now I need to keep my fingers out of my hair.

I bought this on a whim and I really liked it. And it makes your hair smell good afterward. :yep:
