I think it's just too much for my hair. It's the only new thing I started putting on my scalp so it has to be the culprit
 
Nix08 I mean there was the fear of God in me about using protein. My hair was rebelling something fierce, breaking, shedding, crying hair tears....a long over due protein treatment and we back in business. The 2 step is a monster in and of itself but the results are so worth the hassle!!! Yep!!! Went to Sally's today and got me some 2 min, I am going to do a quick dc weekly!!!
 
SunySydeofLyfe yes like you I was afraid of protein now I use protein a couple times a week! I never got the mushy feel from over moisturized hair it just felt soft and feathery:look: now I know better:yep:

Nix08 I can almost see my hair tolerating protein twice a week. I read the back of the bottles of most my 'deep' conditioners and they ALL have wheat protein?!?!!? I was thinking I was getting enough, my hair seems to know otherwise.

Can I ask what protein products you are using? I love to peek at other peoples regimens, but find that most of the rave about products my hair hates!!!! :perplexed
 
SunySydeofLyfe my favorite ones are Millcreek biotin conditioner and the keratin one. As well as aubrey organics gpb, blue camomille and island naturals. I don't use any hard protein treatments.
 
Too Funny, at least to me. Last night I went out with Hubby. I was looking right, with my short, "fit like a glove" dress and boots. Well, I went to the restroom. This white woman was in their waiting on her little daughter. I walked past her and went into one of the stalls. I could see her staring at me. When I walked back past her to wash my hands she was still looking at me. Before I left she proceeded to come over to the sink, let her long hair down and started to bend over and whip it back and forth. I guess that was supposed to make me envious? :ohwell: I just thought it was funny as hayell.

See, me, I'm a clown. I would've thrown on some beyonce on my phone and both of us could've been in there whipping our hair and complimented her! Lol... no need for her to feel intimidated...

LOL, I can see myself now, trying to whip my shoulder length hair. I would have broken my neck.....

Nairobi hydrating poo is a winner every use. Quick dc with the stimu-sil which I'm loving for the tingle. Trying to decide if i want to steam in the humecto-sil. I wonder sometimes why i stray when Nairobi is the smack!!!

Quick question ladies. Do yall relax when needed or on a schedule?

Based on my schedule, I am due for a relaxer in April (3mths post), but I havent notice alot of NG & my hair is still manageable, so I am considering waiting an additional month or two.

-Thanks Ladies:drunk:
 
i relax when needed. if i can handle the new growth, without breakage and matting, it's all good. and i'm not a long stretcher. if i have enough new growth where i am not overlapping, i'm good. i don't see the benefit for me to stretch for a long time. it's not like i'm going to gain more length and i am retaining pretty good.

I relaxed based on schedule. I relax every other month. Except for this month since its a short month.

Excuse the typos but i'm on my iPod touch
 
Im so friggin ready to relax. Im landing on 19 weeks post this week and my new growth feels like a jungle. Im ready to rush this week so that i can hurry and see my straight flowing hair again!

If its still manageable, keep going. ;)
 
So, I realized even more so that I have different growth rates throughout my hair. The crown/middle has the most. My back and the perimeter (1.5in all around) (nape and edges) barely has any but is always the longest :perplexed: anywho, this makes me glad I stretch so those areas won't be overprocessed... but man do I feel it now at 9 wks post...

I used to relax on a schedule until I landed on this forum which inspired me to stretch. Before that it was between 6 and 7 weeks. It was really because I had no real idea how to take care of my hair and the unruly new growth would get the best of me. My last stretch (6 months) showed the the error of my ways and helped me find the keys to a successful stretch. My current plan is 12-16 weeks - I was looking too raggedy by the end of the 6 months. If my hair and I can make nice it'll be all good.
 
I relaxed Friday after about 5 months (19 weeks) I feel proud of myself this stretch got rough but my hair feels way thicker and stronger and I love it. I use mizani butter blends lye for fine/color treated hair (my hair is not fine or color treated)

I'm a little over 14 weeks post and dealing with it rather well. Keeping my hair soft and hidden is definitely the way to go for me!
