Thats exactly whats been happening to me!! This is the third looong detangling session Ive had in the last few weeks. Its probably wreaking havoc on my ends.

I gotta remember to cowash for moisture when Im deep in a stretch (past 6 weeks). But I don't seem to have much ng.

The good thing is I finally git it detangled, soft and moisturized so I can get through the ng. I might do it sunday...or try doing cornrows with extensions on my own

I have come to the conclusion that I suck at taking pics of my hair. Anyway, here are the results:
Freshly relaxed, flat ironed hair before the cut:








Two days after I got it cut..this was after it had been wrapped all day and I was about to go out with my boo:

Dear Lord,

Please help me not to respond to some of the comments in these other threads.

Amen.

Lol. There is one thread I'm like really......really.....really....please delete it yourself. Lol. I remember when i got serious about my hair i wanted to start a thread about everything that came to mind. I opted for the search feature instead.

Lololoo They're mostly general comments to no one in particular but its usually some form of natural vs relaxed statement. I tend to ignore them but sheesh!

You know most of them still hate themselves. It doesn't matter how much they think "natural, new me" they are still the same rachet girls they were before the went natural. I hate to sound so mean, but talk is cheap; no one ever really changes.

Not all of them are like that. I lurk too. But there are those few that kinda get the blood boiling.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together

YAS! I cannot agree more. A change in hair texture does NOT signify a change in character. I seriously wish some of them would stop puttin' on, sit down and humble themselves because at the end of the day its just hair...Natural, Relaxed, Texlaxed, Texturized....WHATEVER!

2 washes, 1 day… Not Cool…

I need to detangle my hair & polish my nails for the week but I can't seem to move from in front of the TV. I love horror movies & AMC is on it!!

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

Has anyone tried the silk elements leave in?

Yes I have. Nothing miraculous about it to me. Just a normal leave in.

Girl you better get to it, you can polish and watch tv or deep condition while watching tv, washing doesn't take long, the deep conditioning is the the most time consuming, well styling is as well so that's the only let down lol

PRE_mediacalruz freckledface have yal tried komaza coconut milk leave in. I had got a sample and paid just for shipping 1.70 something and I got 2oz and it makes your hair so soft and gives it slip. Just ordered the 8 oz bottle for twelve. This my first time using a leave in, I usually just use a regular moisturizer and seal but i like the leave in, it makes detangling better and soooo soft

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

Haven't heard about it but I don't use leave-ins either. I tried the silk elements once out of curiousity.

Really need to wash my hair...but since its raining all week, I'm gonna wait till Thursday

My mother said after all this time, she is "goin back to the crack!" I couldnt even bother with my usual sarcastic, makes you want to punch me in my mouth remarks. The natural nazi turned into a Jew for Jesus. All sorts of wrong on so many levels this post is going, but she made me feel like crap when I kept my individuality to stay relaxed. Like I was sinning or Killing peoples puppies and serving then with a side of egg fried rice. It's my hair and I can fry it if I want to. I respected her decision, but she turned her face up at mine.

I'm willing to help, because that's who I am. A sarcastic girl with a kind heart. I know the questions will come. I just want to tell God TIA for the patience he gives me to deal.

That is all.

What do u use to color ur hair?

 

[Evolving78]

my hair is M&S, and wrapped for the night. it feels good! i may wash my hair tomorrow or thursday. since getting my relaxer, i think i will be able to stretch at least 10-12 weeks since i have no underprocessed parts. my hair strands are consistently straight. plus, the relaxer system that was used on my hair didn't dry it out, left a lot of shine, softness and bounce. i can't see myself using another relaxer. i finally found something that really works for my fine strands and gives me the results i am looking for.

 

[mschristine]

Couldn't wait till Thursday. My scalp was super dirty and my hair looked terrible. I came home went to straight to the shower to wash and deep condition...currently air drying and catching up on True Blood

 

[Saludable84]

Im about to start my research now on a half wig now. That s-curl made my ng a dream to work with, but typical LP hair wants to build-up, so I had to wash. It had me thinking though that during the winter, which is when I want to invest in a half-3/4 wig, I could air dry and exclusively s-curl my fakeness of the funk for 6 months. My plan is to stretch from december to june and hide my hur under wigs. I never thought I'd be this excited about wigs….
