What did you learn about your Hair during your 8 month Stretch?

Leave it to you to post such an insightful question when I am not prepared to answer! :lol:

1. I am a slow grower.
2. I can stretch about 26 weeks without a problem. Beyond about 30 weeks, I need to have a different set of products geared towards transitioning or natural hair.
3. I have 2 different textures - from the forehead to the crown is looser than the crown to the nape.
4. I cannot do a braid out beyond about 15 weeks.
5. Most important - My hair is my hair! No amount of pre-pooing, conditioning, dcing or supplements is going to give me unicorn hair. However, those things can help me to have the healthiest hair I possibly can...

I am sure your Hair is Super Healthy. :grin:

How did your Relaxer go?

Did you have to do anything different during the Relaxing Process that you normally wouldn't have had to do?

Yes, it is healthy. I am thankful that I didn't experience any noticeable line of demarcation breakage. When I did my blow dry, there were very few hairs on the floor.

:nono: at detangling!:nono: That was a rough process even with me detangling gently the night before.

I have a relaxer checklist posted in my bathroom that I follow carefully. I had two deviations - I mixed two different DCs (normally use only one) and allowing the relaxer to "sit" longer than I normally do. I still have some texture in my hair, which I am cool with.
 
Pre-shampoo treated with: My grapeseed avocado oil mix

Shampooed with: CON Argan oil

Deep conditioned with: Macadamia oil deep treatment masque

Left in: Matrix Biolage Smootherapie

When hair dried I took down the eight plaits and used Qhemet Biologics AOHC to moisturize then sealed with my grapeseed avocado mix and murumuru butter for my bun.

Ordered it. For some reason, I would have never thought it would have proteins I like and use. I also like the preserves. Im really trying to take the next few months to just concentrate on making staples.

I like it. I really like it on Dry Hair though. It says: "Apply Generously"

And Girl....You know I'm heavy-handed...so um..yeah..I followed that directive fully.:lol:

I've always wanted to try "Bolded" How is that? Sounds like it would be good.:lick:

Keep us posted as you find your Staples. Komaza Protein Rx gets really Great Reviews.

I tried the 'older' version. Haven't tried the 'newer' formula.

What other Proteins have you added to your Arsenal?
 
EnExitStageLeft what does your fenugreek/methi powder smell like? Curry powder or maple syrup? If it smells like maple syrup, where did you buy it and what is the brand? The powder I bought smelled like pungent curry powder, I couldn't bring myself to use it :nono:

You know you can always convo her for a mini-consult.

You can tell her about your Lo-Po and your Preservative issues and she can make suggestions/adjustments.

You should do it. She is very good about that.

IDareT'sHair - I haven't used it in awhile, just found it in the stash again :look: But I don't think I was too impressed. I doubt I'll repurchase. It's a little messy, its a cream, but turns to oil once emulsified and i think small chunks :perplexed. I'll let you know if my feelings change tomorrow.
 
@Golden75

Mine (this Jar) is completely/totally smooth & creamy.:lick:

I didn't have any chunks at all.

Hmpf.:blush: I have another jar though.

I like it.:yep:

G - Just gone & use it up.:lol:
 
Finally washed and detangled. I will deep condition overnight and straighten tomorrow.
It's time for my yearly progress pics.
 
Prepoo'd overnight w/ coconut oil
Poo'd this morning w/ Everyday Coconut shampoo
DC'd w/ NaturelleGrow Herbal Grow
Will do a braid out and airdry
