Relaxed Hair Thread

[SuchaLady]

My hair is underprocessed I'm more than likely just going to leave it. Doing a corrective is probably more damaging than dealing with it. What do you all suggest?

 

[Jewell]

Ok I think it's time to end my stretch, and texlax on Saturday the 23rd. I will have made it to 2 days shy of 21 weeks. I could go longer, but I'm just ready to TU and see about this length.

I would suggest that you leave it. My hair is textlaxed and it started not being on purpose and I've thought about doing a corrective several times but I'm very afraid of then overprocessing than I am of having underprocessed hair. You can always start cutting ends once you reach your goal and then maintain your length. And as I rollerset on magnetic rollers my hair comes out smooth and you can't really see the difference.

Man my overprocessed hair from my last relaxer is extremely thin. I hope this henna will thicken it up because I won't be cutting my hair for a while. Any other ideas on how to thicken my strands? My NG is fine...

danysedai I am going to leave it. All except the back. That looks like relaxer didn't even touch it so I doubt it will get overprocessed. I have to do something with that. Here is picture of what I'm dealing with. Thank you for your help. I was so mad at first then I got over it. Crazy how hair makes you irrational sometimes

 

[freckledface]

That's exactly what I did just the back good luck I'm sure your hair will he fine. Also that's A LOT of growth girl!!!

 

[Lymegreen]

I washed my hair this morning and decided to take a pic.

This is towel dried 4c relaxed hair (I actually use a tee shirt to dry my hair) with leave-ins applied. My hair is very damp. I'll be 1 week post on Thurs

 

[growbaby]

growbaby, my nape is still shorter than the rest of my hair. I ask my stylist to apply relaxer on that area last, just a few minutes before washing the hair to ensure it doesn't get over processed. I'm even thinking of forgoing relaxing that area altogether for about six months to a year to see if that makes a difference.

Hey! So it's been 2 months since u gave me this advice and I thought I'd update u! I decided to cut my dry brittle 5in nape down to 3 inches in jan at 4 months post. I moisturized that area heavily following sistawithrealhair's method by drowning it in conditioner and oil and wrapping it in plastic wrap. I did that for about 4 weeks then relaxed at 5 months post. I BARELY texlaxed my nape (left the relaxer on for less than 5 mins then cut another inch of the nape. It is now 4inches long and thriving! How is ur nape doing?

I used it at the beginning of my hair journey for about 7 months but ran into monetary issues which prevented me from buying for a while. But i just purchased a six month supply as well and will be finished with the first bottle friday or saturday. Im hoping for great results as well! Good luck!

Excuse the typos but i'm on my iPod touch

 

[sunnieb]

Brittster - lovely results! You're making me itch for my relaxer date!

 

[Raspberry]

Ugh. My hair has been thru since the beginning of the year. I had to come to terms with the fact that my new stylist was overcharging me and over processing my hair. I had severe breakage on one side, combined with a family crisis and stress it wasn't a good look. I had the stylist cut my hair from full APL to full SL in early Feb. and was also under processed (my own fault).

I've decided to divorce the stylist. I went with her because of a coworker recommendation but I should've tried the one an LHCF member recommended first. I'm considering relaxing at 8 weeks because I'm over processed and will go to the new stylist then.

Good news is my hair is growing faster because I've been exercising more.. I should get back to APL in no time if I keep it up.

Thanks I just got them in the mail yesterday mail man charged me a 26.22 customs charge like I was so mad I paid 152 in total and ontop of that a 26.22 customs charge being canadian sucks lol really hope these pills work combined with my hair regimen

LOOOOOOOOOOVE your results Brittster! Keep it up!

Deep conditioning on 2 weeks post hair is soooooo different than DCing on 10 weeks post hair

 

[danysedai]

I self relaxed last week and, keeping with my unintentionally textlaxed theme, my hair is underprocessed. I learned that I cannot go beyond 8-10 weeks, that I need to find a daily moisturizer ASAP and protective style more.

I think I can make it to my goal of full U shaped MBL hair by the end of the year if I keep it simple, keep on DC and rollersetting, never forget to wear my scarf and/or satin pillowcase (I've forgotten to do so a LOT and I'm paying for that with breakage on my edges) and find a way to do my loose buns without slicking down my edges with a brush (I will be using the scarf method). As my lead hairs are at MBL or thereabouts I will be trimming the V slowly and wait til the rest of the hair catches up. The

second picture shows where I want my hair to be.

This is my hair flat ironed after a rollerset, I don't like to flat iron anymore as I find my hair thrives with rollersetting but I did it gauge length and see where I'm I still do not know if I want to transition to natural in the future but for now I'll stay relaxed.

I DC with Kerastase Chronologiste and Alter Ego garlic mask on the NG, added a dominican hot oil treatment. After I used Kerastase Ciment Thermique and a bit of Silicon Mix leave in conditioner. Flat ironed with Dolce Milano Shock Me Straight that I found on sale at the BSS( will be buing some more) and Biosilk serum. Hair is veeerrrry silky (too much I think) and moisturized.
