I've had heat damage before, and my hair was exactly as you described yours. Sadly I couldn't find any product that would reverse it so I ended up having to just snip it all off.

I agree completely. My flat iron developed a hot spot, so every swipe left about a 4th of that section burned to a crisp. I tried everything to save it, but the burned hair broke off over time. I'm so sorry that happened to the both of you as well.
 
So it's been raining for a few days straight. Today I wore a braidout that got wet and began to lose its kinked up look. In other words, it began to straighten. I had a student at my job tell me I looked like I was having a bad hair day. Kids. Hilarious. Although my braidout does look like it's sliding off my head. Icant wait to relax in a few weeks :)

Ugh, same here! Usually my braidouts last a week. But because of this crazy weather, this one only lasted two days :nono:. Looks like I'll be in buns and ponytails until the rain dries up.
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

AryaStarr258 & AlkalineSteam -

Thank you both for your responses. I am going to get a relaxer at the end of the month by some I really trust and I will go from there. I acutally woke up last night about 1 AM and my hair felt dry. I got out of the bed and put some Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose cond. and sealed. When I got up this morning it felt softer then it had in days. Tonight I plan on DC on my dry hair with some heat so we will see.

Thanks again :)

Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

Okay relaxed ladies, I have a question. I plan to relax my hair next week. I relax every 7 to 8 weeks. Is it okay to use the Alphogee 2 minute protein after I relax?

Relentless - do you mean right after you rinse the relaxer and after the neutralizing process, or a few days later?
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

Curl junkie smoothing lotion is my new wash n go and braidout best friend. Hardly had to use eco gel to control frizz

I've used the 2 minute with no problem. Its like back in the old days when I used a box relaxer; they always came with a reconstructor packet. Its the same thing IMO.

Hi Ladies,

I was never really down with the whole Vaseline thing but last night I spritzed with water and applied Vaseline liberally and my hair feels softer and moisturized. I hope I've found the answer to my dry behind hair because for some reason my sealing has not been working.

The Vatika Oil darkened my hair. It made hair black hair appear blacker, which I loved because I love for my hair to be the blackest black :grin:. Only reason I stopped using it was because I couldn't leave it on my scalp for a long period of time, it would irritate me.
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

My favorite relaxed head of all time, Macherieamour, is transitioning to natural hair! She's 9 months post and you can't even tell, she really knows how to care for her hair.

Her hair was straight in the video, looked like she flat ironed or roller set it straight then did like some beachy waves.

Definitively, my hair is freshly relaxed, it get dirtier faster because all the hair is straight so all the oil and stuff can travel down faster versus natural or lots of new growth where it has to travel through curls/kinks/waves to get to the hair strands.
 
Re: Relaxed Hair THREAD!!

I tried it out last night I am not loving the smell...to me it smells like a old corner store! LOL but it made my hair soft...but then again I use so many products I can never really tell. I know for sure the ORS pak softened it up big time I am 5 weeks post nad the roots are crunchy! So the pak really helps...I can say the Vatika stretched my new growth into more of a wave and I am 4a...so thats a GREAT thing!
