Relaxed Hair Thread

[hnntrr]

did u use the red raj? i'm planning on purchasing as soon as it is back in stock

Ill have to ask my mom in the morning what the hell she mixed. I know for sure it was Henna Sooq, and it was the Henna, Indigo, Aloe Vera and another something that she mixed in. I was going for more of a black tone, but it ended up red (which I dont mind either). Its a really deep burgundy, and where my hair is still blonde (from normal dying earlier this year) it is a really rich nice red.

Ill find out tomorrow what we mixed and give you an update as well as pictures soon as it dries and i flat iron it. (hopefully you will be able to see the color). It was really nice though, I let it set for about 5 hours and it came out way more poignant than I expected.

Really want to wear a braidout tomorrow, but my braids are so loose with this super straight freshly relaxed hair. I hope they last the night!

So nice and thick root to tip!
Spritz them with a little water for some added "kink"??
Can't wait to see the braidout

Not quite a braidout fail, but not what I was looking for. I'll try again tonight.

Anyone who purchased Linange relaxers: I just got mine this morning. Should there be a plastic (non-tampering) film on top when you remove the cover? The AE conditioners I ordered have one, but the relaxer does not.

Oh no! I know there was some debate about whether or not there should be a seal on it on the Alter EGO thread. lilmama, her relaxer, I think, didnt have a seal and the product looked tampered w/, so she sent it back. Does it look tampered with? They say that the jar should be very full if it's lye.

Soooo as I washed and detangled my approximately 36ish week post relaxer hair this thread came to mind. Looks like I will be here forever.

[Lissa0821]

I had a full jar of the Linange relaxer and it did not have w protective seal on it like the netrualizing conditioner.

Good growth!!!

Okay. The two conditioners I bought have a seal. The neutralizing conditioner does not and neither does the relaxer. The jar is full, but looks like someone put relaxer in it from another container. I say that because the rim of the jar has relaxer caked around it. What so you guys think? Am I being paranoid?

Correction: the neutralizing shampoo had one; it was just stuck in the top of the cap.

Go with your gut instinct. Take it back.

I just sent the merchant on Amazon a message about getting a proper replacement.

I relaxed. After reading some of the posts about tampered products, I decided I was being paranoid...plus I really wanted to relax my hair with my shiny new products.

So far...I love this relaxer! My hair feels good right now. I'll update once I dry it.

I used Linange relaxer. Once I rinsed it out, I used KeraPro Restorative for my mid-step protein. Then I followed the directions on the Linange neutralizing conditioner (5 min., rinse, 3 min., rinse). I followed that with Mizani BB neutralizing shampoo. Then I used Alter Ego Energizing & Rebalancing Cream for an hour under my heating cap.

Rinsed and used Wen Fig as my leave in and sealed with Organix Coconut Anti-Breakage serum ( or whatever it's called).

Air drying now and will deal with styling tomorrow.

I'm 55 weeks post and missing my relaxed hair like crazy. Until I can self relax, I'll continue to stretch. I refuse to go to another stylist who will do nothing more than further damage my hair by not following my instructions.

Only way to learn is to just do it. Do you have a friend or family member you trust that can do it for you?

Unfortunately no. My fam isn't close and my friends are in a natural hair cult so they would never help me relax my hair. I've been researching and reading like crazy but I'm still not confident. I've been practicing with conditioner but I have so much new growth that I doubt that I could relax my hair in a single session my first time.

Im biting the bullet & relaxing myself for the 1st time. Im expecting sum mistakes but I'm hoping that by the end of next year ill have it mastered. I think my prob will be ill be underprocessed. But I rather be underprocessed than a burned scalp.

Let me know how it goes! I really want to relax by Feb so I can get a much needed trim.

 

[quirkydimples]

pelohello

I burned a very little considering how much I scratched my head that day. Nothing that caused burns though and only in spots where I had scratched a bit intensely before remembering that I was going to relax. It was a "duh" moment.

Don't worry. I fell back into my wigs. Its my safe place. Lol

 

[back2relaxed]

Got my relaxer last nite and my hair feels like heaven!!

 

[back2relaxed]

I also got my hair cut. I've been just letting it grow however as I was protective styling. My first goal in growing out my pixie was to achieve a bob, and I'm finally here!!

 

[beloved1bx]

I'm going go to a stylist to relax tomorrow and i can't wait! I'm about 9 weeks post. I tried self-relaxing in early Nov after stretching 12 weeks and underprocessed my hair (not on purpose). I had thought about going the texlax route but i see that's not the life for me. My underprocessed hair clumps and mats just like my new growth. It's a bit of a jungle in there and i can't wait for it to be tamed. I think I'm going to lightly flat iron my roots in preparation.
