addaboutmyhair and exubah, thanks for the responses! I have been wary about protein because I kept reading natural hair rarely needs it. Off to research now.
 
So I'm texlaxed and have BKT. My roots have gorwn out and I need a touch up. I really cjust want to throw in some tists with extensions. Can I wait until after my twists are out to do a touch up? Has anybody done this. I'm not trying to break my hair but it seems a waste to do a touch up and go straight into twists...
 
Hello everyone,I'm sort of a newbie. Ok, after reading some responses I'm coming out of my shell!LOL I've been a member since Feb '09 but it was just today that I added some pics to my profile and decided to reply to a post:blush:. It was only today that I found this thread. This site is some what of intimidating:perplexedor confusing with all of the abbr's. But really, I have just been stalking trying to come up with a regi for myself and educating myself as much as possible. But now I feel I am ready for communication with those who wish to communicate with me. I have never been good at making friends:nono:. So I hope to gain some valuable advise from the hair guru's on here. Thanks in advance

At the end of May I attempted to relax with a mild CON at 7 weeks post. My hair was like 'Gurl please was that a deep con or somethin?' Anyways, I have been flat ironing every weeks on wash day because my roller sets suck. I know that its a lot of heat but I didnt know what else to do. I have fallen deeply in love with Cantu Shea Butter Leave In in the last 2 weeks and have noticed a difference in managibility. I did a roller set 2 days ago and it came out great. I will try to DC and rollerset 2x /wk. we'll see how it goes.
