Oh.
LOL

I was like, "Well....gotdamn!" I wish I was 15 months post relaxer!
Well my ends are straight as well but my hair tends to 'obey me'...it all blends fairly well.
I don't really get my weird hair but....I'm, just happy that it is the way it is.

...and I dunno about you but I'm trying to knock out some of this trial and error issue right now! I wish I could cut these ends off right now. When I wash my hair I just hate the way the relaxed ends look against my natural hair. So ugly...

Baby Buttercreme? Hmm...I'll look into that.

Ooh--you know if you go on MissJessies website there's a tutorial about coil-outs and shingles and such:
http://missjessies.com/coil-out101.htm

ALSO while doing hair research I ran across a coupla cool sites that you may find useful FINDINGME.
Oh---to other noobs, the websites aren't geared towards relaxed heads this is true. However, they DO provide valuable information on products and black hair care. You can never have too many resources, y'know?
...and you'll find that many basic methods preached there (oils, no grease, cowashing, limit heat, etc...) are also preached on LCHF.

I like this blog: There is some pretty useful information in here
http://www.nappydelphia.com/

This is a nice forum. Check out their product review section!

Have you heard of this board called NAPPTUROLOGY 101. I found it while screwing around on Nappturality (because I had no idea what a cnapp was) and found it.
It's an entertaining. Good source of info:

Welcome aboard! That sounds like a really good regimin. I like KeraCare dry & itchy too. I'm trying to regrow hair that I've lost from scratching and overstretching a relaxer. My hair broke off in the crown (see siggy).

How long did you stretch? How do you know you are stretching too long? I am at 8weeks this week but I still don't have an inch all over of NG just in some areas. I thought I read somewhere you should wait until you have an inch all over before you relax hair.....

I have a friend who takes garlic supplements and has used the garlic shampoos occasionally for shedding, but she hasn't seen much difference in the amt shed:ohwell:
 
Hey slim_thick, ChelzBoo, rhon2993, Healthybodynhair, NaturalBeauty87 and KurleeK5!

How ya'll derrin...?
:wavey:

@NaturalBeauty...Have you tried a denman brush? I've heard that it's pretty affective at getting out knots and tangles. I see many natural heads sanging praises to it. They sell them for like $4 or $5 at sally's

@Slim....Naw never used it. I just kinda suffer through my shedding. ...and I'm not scheduled to shed until the winter so I imagine I'll be crushing cloves all winter. LOL
Even still...I'm not so certain garlic treatments automatically STOP shedding. Might just slow it down, y'know? But I'm not sure.
Garlic and EVOO...?
Well it's mos def cheaper than paying 24 dollars for a small container...

@Kurleek...Your puff is so cute.

Hey Slim!!!!!! I've never used any garlic treatments for shedding, but i know many women on the board that do. A lot of women like Alter Ego, a dominican product that is supposed to work great for shedding. Also, Nutrine, if you want something cheaper but does a good job.

Check this thread out for some recipes that help in combating shedding. HTH. ;)
