Naturally Flexible Support Thread

OMG!!!!! I almost relaxed my hair on accident. I purchased what i thought was the Motions Oil Moisturizer Silk Protein Conditioner but what i actually got was the oil moisturizer relaxer in super!! All i saw in the store was oil moisturizer on the jar and bought it. OMG!!! I was about to pre poo my hair with it and scooped some out was about to put it on my hair when I looked at the jar and saw what it said SMH. If i did not look at the jar my hair would be relaxed and i would have been looking crazy when i washed it out and did not have any curls left. Then I was planning on leaving it on for a half hour, all my hair would have fell out. Thank God I looked at the jar before i put it on my hair.
 
Ladies, my curls came back! :Happydance:

I flat ironed my hair silk straight on the 20th. I don't have a good track record of surviving the flat iron without heat damage :nono:

I ended up dry DCing, on previously pre- pooed hair with New Era Moisturizer for Dry and Brittle Hair. The third ingredient is hydrolyzed animal protein.

After cleansing with Joico Clarifying Poo, I did a medium protein treatment with SSI Okra Winfrey, under the heat cap for 45 minutes.

Then I DCed again with Claudie's Revitalizer Avocado Intense DC, under the heat cap for 45 minutes.

These are my curls following all that:

Do you see that big ole triangle in the middle of my crown? :lol:

After I recuperate, I'll have to try and fix it.

ETA: Hopefully, the 32 twists will last for 10-14 days without looking like a frizzy HAM!

ETA2: DS just told me that I don't have an eye for scale due the varying sizes of twists.

Take that 'aspiring' off your siggy. :lachen::lachen:

I say A plusses all around! :reddancer:

:love: the hair!
 
MileHighDiva :drool: I want my hair to be like yours when it grows up. I know I've said that before. It looks a little similar to mine in texture and density. I can't wait! *gets giddy*

Those twists are so juicy. Forget about parts. I just throw it up into a bun or some type of updo anyway. I'm sure that would look so good on your hair.

Yay finally found something that gives me great twist outs!! I was really getting ready to throw in the towel, then I picked up Eden's Bodyworks Curl Define Creme! I will not be straying away from this nope!

If it's anything like yours....DEAR JESUS ALLOW MY HEAD NOT TO BE THE SIZE OF CALIFORNIA! Because I'm going to think I'm alla' that a bag of chips and a pitcher of Koolaid(the red kind) on the side :lachen:.
 
I flat ironed my hair and trimmed the length maybe a 1/2 inch.

I need to step up my retention game and hide my ends more etc. but I don't want to. LOL. I MAINLY wear wash n go ponytails. Oh well...

I deep conditioned earlier this week with hairveda strinillah.

So this morning I detangled with hairveda jardin oil.

Then washed with tresemme deep cleansing shampoo to remove oil.

Lightly conditioned with vo5 clarifying conditioner.

Applied a dab of Garnier fructis cream leave in conditioner. (A dime size for my whole head).

Blow dried.

Then applied a nickel size amount of kerastace olio relax serum to each half of my head.

Flat ironed on 395.

Used castor oil hair grease on my edges ONLY and used the Edge Stick to hit the edges.

You always get silky straight results! :gorgeous: as usual!

In the summer, you'll want that hair off your neck, so you'll put it away then, :yep: That coupled with the normal spring/summer growth spurt everyone experiences...Nobody, will be able to you nothin' in the fall, regarding retention.

Thanks, Chica. ;)

You're right. I should plan to put my hair away all summer. Wear buns until fall.

Went to the salon today and got my hair hot combed. I also got my ends clipped and some bangs cut as well!

Just removed 32 two strand twists. I'm not good with selfies and/or hair pix without an helper. Ran CR Almond Jai Twisting Butter along each twist, before removing each twist.

The CR doesn't bring the bling like SD CDLS. To be fair, I haven't sealed with GSO yet. I'm trying get an accurate feel for this product. CDLS is bling-y on its own :yep:

I straightened my hair and my ends are so bushy they won't straighten for nothing. I am going to get a trim but I don't know what happened between my last trim and now.

I do one every 6 weeks. if my ends are over moisturized and have no structural Support they will be frizzy and won't straighten well.

You may want to do a strong protein, especially on the ends once every 2-3 months and see if that helps.
