Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

Ladies if you haven't tried pincurls (especially those that you roll then turn and pin flat against your head)....you don't know what you're missing:yep: I'm just saying.....

This stuff GOES. It's light and packs a huge punch for my coarse areas. It's the next best thing to plain water.

I've seen this and I am going to look into it soon.
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

Hi ladies, as you can see I'm more of a lurker :perplexed However, today I decided to share by results from using curlformers. I love these things. I've been trying to find a way to use less heat and this will definitely become a part of my regimen. Hope you enjoy :grin:

I'm going to have to try this. My hair needs a good moisturizer.
I just re-bought some Cantu Shea Butter leave-in. I love it for when I roll my hair nightly on flexi rods.

Nix08 - I pin curl every night when I roller set and desire to retain the curly look. You're pin curling nightly these days?

Your Cheeziness - I was just at Walmart, dang. I will check next time I'm there. My Walmart sucks but hopefully they carry it. Is this product found in the hair care section? Is it in the Ethnic section?
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

Well, I'll be textlaxing the first week of September. I really love my hair but I'm pretty sick of the single and double strand knots. :ohwell: I'll be going with phyto I instead of II though the first go round will be with II since thats what I have on hand currently.

divachyk I was on a mini mission to figure out how I could co wash as often as I like and have a style other than a bun when I go to work. So the last 2 nights I've co washed then as I sat watching a little Tell-lie-vision I pincurled (about 10 in total) and voila the next morning I'm giddy, checking out every mirror I pass:look: I'm putting it up tomorrow though...I'm a little too extra with my hair like this...chatting up random people and stuff:drunk: I'm going to be impossible when my hair gets longer geez:rolleyes:

Arcadian are you natural now? If so, welcome:yep:
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

Nix08 I am.:yep: I was cutting back in March my hair and :look:and well...you know how it sometimes goes.

I had been on a really long stretch so I had to either go ahead and relax or just get rid of them.


My hair has been ridiculously easy to care for which I really like...except the knotting issue. Can't win them all!

Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

Welcome I'm giving in and relaxing this week, not sure how far post I am anything between 10-12 weeks
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

Hi Relaxed Ladies,

I am 17 weeks post and plan to relax Sunday. I really wanted to stretch another 7-8 weeks but I'm losing too much hair from tangles and matting. I luv my new growth and hate to see it go but I am also ready to see my relaxed hair again too :)
 
LADIES!!! I'm feeling like idk. I feel good. I got a compliment on my hair today and I feel amazing. I've been massaging my scalp with castor oil and getting my hair wet through cowashing, DCing, or just water spritzes. My hair is growing! Today I had a braidout and a lady at ulta told me how much she loved it. She thought I was natural. Which is the look I was going for lol. I loved it. We shared some info and she said she would mention me in her blog! Of course I mentioned LHCF and told her how much I love you guys. I'm happy :)

I hear you on those mats. My hair matted in ways I didn't think was possible towards the end of my 15 week stretch. Like Nix said make sure you post pics! :)

I think I'm about 9-10 weeks post, I'm doing a cassia treatment this weekend, then I'm going to relax about 13/14 weeks I may do it earlier if I have problems.

I really want to do my colour but I guess I have to wait till after the relaxer:ohwell:
Click to expand...

What color will you use? I really want to color too, but i'm weary of being double processed :nono:

Part of me wants to color now and wait it out on this relaxer until October or so...still doing some soul searching on this one. Hell, i'm still torn between chocolate or red :lol:

As the official crappest updater I will say I'll "try" have to use my phone camera a friend borrowed my nixon so crap pix galore:lol: but can't wait plus I have plans to colour and highlight in two weeks so have to get the relaxer out the way before I cut my hair in frustration
 
I had to end my stretch because it was doing more harm then good. But i must say i missed the look of freshly relaxed hair. Today i put it in my first ever set of two strand flat twists in the front, with a sputhern tease bun in the back inspired by Mrs. TheBronx. Thanks a whole lot for the tips ladies! I'll post pics when I go to lunch!
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

I'm a lurker, but here is my relaxer from March. I plan to relax again September 1st. In this picture I used ORS Lye Normal, but I plan to go back to using Silk Elements Lye Mild.
