Welcome to the forum!!!!!!!! Your hair is BSL and you are new to having a hair care journey???? Well, you must have been doing something right.....IMO. I know that people can hang on to dead ends, but a person has to have, at least, a healhty APL or beyond to even have straggly ends to bra strap...I would think. Again, welcome. You will get a lot of good advice here.
 
I used a hot comb for the first time today. Never again. The smoke (from the lowest setting) turned me off.

So I deep conditioned for 4 hours and omg, my hair has never felt better. Super happy about it. I think I'll DC with my cowash every other day. I have a full 1/2 inch of new growth as well, so my hair growth rate is 3/4 an inch per month. Praying I'm neck length soon!
 
I just met this wonderful salon lady who I overheard talking to another lady about healthy hair care practices. I immediately attacked, I mean introduced myself to her. We had a 30 min conversation about hair. I decided to let her do a rollerset on me when I come back from Vegas. If all goes well, she may be my offcial stylist & I can finally minimize my wig-wearing. ;)
 
Relaxer Friday!! 13 weeks post and for the first time I am not in a state of emergency. Usually this occurs at week ten. Thank God for olive oil and proper conditioner.

Nyah22 I love Beautiful Textures moisture butter. It's geared towards naturals but it leaves my hair so soft and moisturized. If you normally wear your hair straight or down then its not for you lol

Ah man! Lol I only wear it straight and hardly do ponytails (don't like feeling confined). I've recently started bunning so perhaps I could use it for those occasion. Thanks
 
Relaxed my hair today! Regimen:

1. Based scalp with vaseline. Applied it over ears, nape, neck and hairline. Applied Suave conditioner on previously relaxed hair.

2. Applied Linange Shea Butter relaxer over new growth and smoothed. Total time 25 mins.

3. Used Linange Shea Butter Neutralizing Conditioner 2 times. Used Proclaim Neutralizing Shampoo.

4. Moisturizing Conditioner - Silk Dreams "Razzberry Coconut Affair Conditioner" for 30 minutes. (about to rinse it out now and will use additional conditioner as a leave-in). I'll probably air dry because I want to use henna tomorrow.

@Raspberry, Hey lady! Where have you been? Why aren't you posting in the Relaxer Hair Buddy thread? Come and hang out with us or maybe I need to hang out more here.:yep:

I'm glad you're enjoying your relaxed hair. I'm enjoying my newly relaxed hair as well, even though its under wigs 5-6 days per week.

Hey xu93texas! I decided to take a major break from LHCF because I was using it to procrastinate too much. I didn't want to be an inconsistent hair buddy so I thought it best to fall back from that thread..

Looks like more relaxed heads are posting so I'll check into the hair forum a little more often. Glad you're enjoying your hair, I wish I could wig it.. I tend to sweat from my head though.
 
My head is in a twist out right now. 7 weeks crept by so quick. It will probably stay air dried until I give up trying to comb it. Now, I'm deciding if I should relax in 5 weeks or 9 weeks.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
 
Brittster I know u didn't ask me but I'm 10 wks post. Just last night my hair was giving it to me. Thought I may need to relax early (last time I went 14 wks.) I took my time over a hour detangled very little sections at a. time and used the loco method. My hair is so smooth new growth is soo soo soft. I made sure I focused on my ng and ends. My cream was aussie 3MM. HTH.

I pretty much roller set and that makes my NG easier, but when I air dry, I typically try to detangle all my NG, keep it moisturized, even if that mean literally putting moisturizer on my NG only and not touching out or rather combing it after its dry unless I need too. I also do twist outs or styles like it because it is easier for me to moisturize as much of the NG as possible.

I do the LCO method and that help me keep my NG manageable and moist. I've gotten less demarcation breakage with it.

What is this LCO or LOCO method you ladies are referring too? I would like to try it as well.

Its twisted versions of LOC Method. Liquid, Oil, Cream. I do Liquid, Cream, Oil because I have low po hair and it holds moisture better and less buildup that way.

The aussie doesn't leave your hair hard. It left mine super hard. How do you use it?
