Relaxed Hair Thread

I'm getting my summer spurt now...I think that's why my stylist finally evened out my hair. I'm three weeks post maybe four and there is a mass of new growth on my head. I'm trying to remember to take my vits daily so I can make the most of it.

I'm normally lazy and just let my stylist do my hair but I'm nor sure if its the new highlights Or the new girl in my shop my hair was hard. So I took over care to get it soft and moist again. (It wasn't responding to my weekly mositurizer even)

I love being relaxed.

Regime was my hair every 2 weeks.
DC with a mixture of: silk amino acids, honey, VO5 cond. Alter Ego, honey, ORS Replenishing Cond., & a mixture of oils (coconut, castor, almond, peppermint, rosemary,& tea tree)
- I DC on dry hair for a least 3 hours, sometimes overnight
- roller set hair & let it dry on low heat.
-then flat iron my new growth only.
-trim ends 2x a year.
I'm looking forward to making full Waist length by Christmas 2011uploadfromtaptalk1308592416022.jpg

Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

I think I'm going to schedule an appointment for my relaxer next friday, that will make me 9 wks post. I'm just waiting for my hydrathermal naturals products to arrive so I can try them. Depending on how my hair feels, I may wait another week or so.

HELP! Any recommendations for a good drugstore brand hair color? I know, I know.. I had highlights thAt have turned orange and brassy. With my work, I can't let this stand and can't afford to have them professionally done like I usually do (unexpected car issues + other expenses). I know it's not ideal. I would really appreciate any feedback.

To self-correct color on previously treated I would recommend a rinse. Only because additional permanent color is (or like) triple processing the hair. I'm about to have my hair colored next week and have did it at home and at the salon before, so I know how anxious you're feeling:perplexed.

I'd also research corrective color, and which colors and/or methods will cancel or correct brassiness. I hope this helps:grin:.
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

Relaxed head checking in :). Current length 1 inch past APL, aiming for BSL this December.

Im actually going to try something new...maybe I can hear the other relaxed ladies input.

Regime

1. I will only wash my hair once a month for the next 3 months :O
2. light protien and DC once a month
3. I will blow dry monthly to keep my hair stretched
4. Will keep my hair in cornrowed braids
5. will oil every other day- grapseed, emu, coconut, (and castor weekly)
6. will spray once a week with a moisturising water based spray.

I actually came accross this by accident, after being lazy under a wig, I blow dried and cornrowed my hair (with extensions), left it for two weeks no oil, water.. nada, I was very worried that my hair was going to be dry and awful, but I took them down...my hair was amazingly soft supple and super shiny :O

Hopefully I have the same results again, and hopefully 2 inches of retention..

what do y'all think???
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

I am going to be relaxing on July 1, getting a corrective.

I am not liking that when I exercise I wipe up and my hair is so dry at the edges :(
Just put some Vatika oil on it.

I am going to have to wash it 2-3 times a week. I will start off with 2. I am going to have to air Dry one of the two times because I am not putting heat on it twice a week. :nono:
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

Just relaxed my hair today @ 14wks post. I really want to do a length check, but I'm on a personal no heat challenge until August. Hurry up August!
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

I now finger detangle as my hair is air drying (rather than detangling before and in the shower) this has made a drastic difference in the amount of hair coming out of my head. I kinda thought finger detangling was for the naturals primarily. Its amazing as my hair dries it almost detangles on it's own.
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

I got my hair relaxed on Saturday, July 9th and I reached my short term goal of SL! Really excited! :D APL here I come!
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

I love this thread. Congrats on your successful stretches ladies!

I am almost 12 weeks post and this is usually when I relax. I will be going 13 weeks only because I need to wash my hair one more time. Who was the genius that decided to do one last braidout at 11 weeks post? :rolleyes:
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

i'm really about keeping it simple, plus i work out daily.

Products/Regiman
- Relax 3 times a year
- Wash with Wen or a sulfate free shampoo (1-2x/week)
- Moisturize with Mizani butterrich hairdress and seal with Hot 6 Oil or MoroccanOil (brand treatment)
- Deep condition with Nexxus Humectress Conditioner + Oil
- Protein or moisturizing treatment every 3-6 months (basically whenever I feel like it, ha).

Treatment:
- Egg + EVOO (protein)
- Honey, EVOO, Conditioner, Jojoba Oil, & MoroccanOil (moisturizing)

Styling:
I usually either wet it and wear it up during the week
or air dry or dry under my hooded dryer & then go over it on cool/low with my blow dryer

I occasionally curl or flat iron it if I'm going out

I haven't done twistouts in months.
 
Idk what in the world is going on. But I got my relaxer touch up June 22 and I'm already getting some serious ng. Is this the notorious summer spurt? Cuz I should not be this far gone yet! Shrinkage is making all styles look like a HAM and you can only tell I had a relaxer if you look at the back. This poof is a killer and I'm not due to go to the salon for another week (personal direct heat pass cuz I'm in a wedding).

Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

I just relaxed yesterday and I love my hair right now. It's still not bra strap length however, it is CLEARLY BSB and I am happy with my progress.

Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

I really am tempted to cut my hair. I see that it's thinned out some and I feel thats due to relaxing every 10 wks with a no-lye relaxer the past few years and as a result my hair has thinned out some. But I also like the length of my hair so I'm not sure what to do. I like that I can bun it and wear it back. I'm thinking the next time I get a touch up I'll prob just have the hairdresser cut off a good 1-2 inches and then slowly from there dust the ends.
