My last relaxer was 8/2009 and I big chopped 6/26/2010. So I was 10mnth post relaxer when I chopped.
I planned on doing the BC 2 years post relaxer but things don't go as planned sometimes. I was going on vacation tothe west indies so I got a weave done by Toya's stylist Lil waynes ex-wife and my weave WAS BUSTED. When I left the salon I was ok as the day went on my head started KILLING me. It was SO tight so I went back to have her adjust it and the weave was literally falling out. Thread and tracks was showing. I never had a weave look so bad. I was leaving for vaca the next day so I sucked it up and purchased a few head bands. I couldn't take it anymore and didn't want to damage my hair so I took it out 1 day into my vacation. My hair felt weird and my egdes looked thin. I had no products here so I just chopped I guess out of frustration.
My afro has no shape so don't laugh.
I literally just started chpping with plain ol scissors. When I was done. I was like OOOKAY what now. I went to the beach and laid there thinking what to do. i met a local West Indian girl who does hair and made an immediate appt. So the pics you're viewing are post beach and right before going to get my weave reinstalled. She did a great job by the way.
I am def. 4b so any suggestions on creamy moist DC and leave ins will be great! I also need a great daily moisturizer for my 4beezie tresses.
With out further ranting here are my pics. I am also able to make a little pony tail I was happy about that!
ETA Regi:
I don't have a special regi I cornrowed under a wig for months washed in cornrow and DC in cornrows. I took braids down 1x a month and did protein treatment (drc-28) I don't comb my hair i use my fingers and I blow dried 1x a month using tension mentod. Then rebraided. I used BT as well as a growth aid and took GNC hair vitamins. I work out 4x a week and drink protein shakes. There were no special tricks I just left it alone while braided under my wigs. Applied growth aids (BT) daily, moist & seal.
HTH anymore questions I will be happy to answer. I just can't think of anything else right now.
