hey ladies that use wigs as protective style how do you take care of your edges under your weaves ? and do you buy it from the store or make it and if you do what cap do u use ?
Click to expand...

when i wear my wig, i have a satin spandex cap that i use. i turn it inside out so the smooth shiny part is on my hair. there are satin/silk caps that you can purchase online. i got my cap from the beauty supply store.

i had to sleep pretty last night. i am going to touch my curls up with my hot rollers.

i will be doing a protein treatment this coming tuesday. i am going to use the Aphogee 2 step. my hair isover processed and i need to strengthen it back up. i think from my last relaxer, i left it in too long, but i had way too much oil in it. i'm going back to lye too.

Anyone not get a blow out after they come from under the dryer? - the Dominicans love to do a blow out.

I didn't get a blow out this past Wednesday when I went to the salon, and I really don't see the difference. I think I'm going to stop getting them from now on.

I use to tell them blow the roots or just tell then to wrap it.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
 
Going to shampoo only twice a month. I need to more disciplined with my M&S twice a day. Since I cut my hair so short in the back I need to make sure I keep it conditioned and moisturized so it can grow back thicker and stronger

I also wear a satin spandex wrap underneath my wig. I moisturize and seal before putting on my wig. I also rub in some type of pomade or jbco onto my edges and nape every morning and evening.

Relaxed on Saturday and now Im feeling my hair and it's so silky. Took a few days but it feels nice. There a bit of length too surprisingly. I guess everything has settled. Now to get my hair to full apl by Sept.
 
Even though I had to cut a few inches in January due to a setback, my hair has been growing like a weed since then, to the point where others comment on it. I think God answered my prayer to increase my hair growth since I was so depressed about having to cut in the first place :lol:

It's been a 1.5 years since I decided to relax my hair again and I still don't regret it, I'm enjoying my relaxed hair and plan to grow it as long as possible :yep:
 
Saludable84 / Babygrowth, I apply my moisturizer and then follow up with about a quarter's worth of serum to my entire head. I like Chi Silk Infusion, Alfaparf Cristalli Liquidi Illuminating Serum‎ (my fav but cost too much) and Sally's GVP Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum (my 2nd fav).

SunySydeofLyfe, do you have a lot of ng and have been manipulating your hair excessively? A sore scalp can come from over manipulating.
 
It's been December 2012 since my last relaxer and I don't "need" to relax. This Silk Dreams stuff I am using is great, :lol: I haven't broken a comb yet. No hair breakage or super shedding.

I deep condition 2x and also flat iron my new growth. It isn't too difficult to comb through. I am actually surprised. I may not relax or color my hair (henna, indigo) until June. Wow... I haven't stretched this long in years!
 
Now that I've changed the order of how I do my wash session, every session has been great! I'm not transitioning but I am in no real rush to relax... so I guess its time for a protective style for 2 months then I should really have that itch...
 
Question

I roll the ends of my twists with black satin pillow rollers. A couple of mornings I noticed that my satin scarf/bonnet had black stains on it. This came from the dye on the rollers. If this is getting on the scarf, I know that it is colleting on my hair. Has this happened to anyone and do you all think that this will affect my ends?

I washed the rollers by hand when I got them. But I guess this was not enough.
 
I should really look into silk dreams products,im not a product junkie, I've just been hearing so much great things about it....

those things jacked my pillows up! but i have a black rinse in my hair, so i couldn't tell if it was staining my hair.
 
I cut about 2 inches of bone straight relaxed ends, I still have about 3 more to go. My ends look so much better, my goal is to slowly get rid of the V until the sides catch up to form a U shape which is my favourite. I'm right back at BSL and loving it.

It's only been 8 weeks since my last relaxer but I'm in no hurry to relax. I've been reading more and more about transitioning and thinking about it. Meanwhile I'm upping my protein treatments for some weeks as my hair has moisture overload. I have breakage on my side edges and I've been nurturing those and loosely bunning my hair.
 
Ladies who wash in sectionsddo you braid or twist? How do you keep it from unraveling? Since I've been textlaxing my hair has gotten thick to where I can't get to my scalp right. Any other suggestions welcome. Um really too lazy to do sections.

I twist each section, then untwist each section as I wash it. I do not wash all the hair at the same time. Then, I retwist the section when Im done.

freckledface along with washing in sections you can also get the root only applicator bottle from sally's. It allows the product to get exactly to the root, I just had my SO pick one up to day and I applied coconut oil for a overnight poo and it really does get your roots. So I would wash in section whether you braid or twist or simple detangle before washing and use four clips to keep hair from tangling and ad water and shampoo in the rot only applicator bottle and rub in and clip and do the other sections, that's what I will be doing tomorrow and then rinsing out and applying my conditioner. Its 6 dollars at sallys in case your interested
 
i am going to get some JBCO, Nexxus Emergencee, and some Humect. i will get some accessories too. i want to start using the JBCO to see the benefits. i always wanted to try it. also i really want to try the Nexxus Emergencee and just keep the Aphogee for my DD. i wonder if the JBCO is lighter than regular castor oil? i will keep using the regular on my DD.

i would really like to get a a place where i can comb my hair wet, but i don't think that is possible with fine hair. that is the main reason why i am too scared to go to a hairdresser. i don't want someone ripping my hair out trying to detangle it. i like bonelaxed hair, but i think that is the cause? if i have more texture, my hair won't web or tangle when wet?
 
This moisturizing spritz has my hair so soft and manageable. 9 weeks post and and I can detangle without losing a bunch of hair

Nexxus Emergencee is no joke. I still have a bottle from like a year ago. That stuff HEALS but you really don't need a lot and a small bottle will last you a WHILE.

JBCO is heavier that castor oil. It is thicker, but to me there is not much of a difference. Some disagree, but since both did nothing for me, they were equally the same.

My hair is texlaxed. My hair does not really tangle when wet nor does it break, but I use a fair amount of silk protein and I use seamless combs and that has helped tremendously.
 
Maybe I should invest in that Nexxus Ermergencee. Aphogee was never strong enough for me and I'm not doing that two step treatment. Too extra for me.
