I JUST PERMED MY HAIR!!!

[Sade7]

THE LAST PERM THAT I HAD WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF FEB., I'D BEEN TRYIN' TO TRANSITION BUT IT JUST WASN'T WORKING. I DECIDED THIS MORNING THAT I WOULD JUST RELAX, SO I DID! I'M SITTING UNDER THE HEATING CAP NOW WITH A CONDITIONER (ELASTA QP DPR) WITH SOME PURE PROTEIN ADDED. I'LL POST A PIC AND THE RESULTS ONCE I'M DONE. ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Well, you have to do what's right for you, don't let anyone tell you different. I guess maintain your perm correctly if you don't know already, and keep your hair and scalp conditioned and ends protected. You should be fine if you do all three. Oh, and I'm sure your hair looks great!

Thanks 19sweetie, I'm just a little nervous... you know? I think I did everything right but we'll know for sure in about an hour. I've been doing my own relaxers since I was 15 or 16..... I'm now 33, but ever since coming to this board I've become much more cognizant of how I handle my hair. I now know the importance of putting relaxer ONLY on the new growth and to pay close attention to the processing time. Before, I used to just put the perm all the way to the ends of my hair and then I would just forget about it... maybe go watch tv or something for the next 30 minutes or so (it's a wonder I have hair huh). Anyway thanks for the advice, it was much appreciated

Sade,

Congrats on your decision to relax. Remember to neutralize (im sure u did already) and deep condition w/ a moisturizing condit after your protein one (sure u did this too!!!). Good luck and tell us how long and beautiful your hair looks!!!!

Thanks Lunalight7, I made sure to conditioned well, my hair turned out well. I always airdry, but this time I decided to blow dry so that it would be easier to get an accurate measurement of any length that I may have accumulated......boy was I surprised (pleasantly so), my hair was actually touching my bra strap!!!
