My old stylist is hitting me up hard for me to come in. I got a lot of new growth going on and I don't trust anyone with it until I get a touch up.

Lol if that's the case then save your relaxer when you're ready & throw your hair in a classic bun & call it a day. Lol

Lol that's EXACTLY how I feel. Maybe I can add a bang or something. I'll okay around and see what u cab come up with tonight.
yoleee Oh no! What happened?My salon wish today just made me decide to go back to being a DIYER. Ugh, she committed every hair sin in the book!!!
The better question would be what didn't she do. Lets see, she washed my hair twice,dced me, and then washed me again. Then she proceeded to brush my wet hair.
Then she blow dried my hair with no heat protectant, combed it out with a fine tooth comb, and flat ironed it and then curled it. Ughhh I felt violated!

Why would she wash it after deep conditioning, that's when I would of at least said something what was the point of conditioning it?!
Agreed. That's when I would've asked for someone else or gotten out of that salon.
She is the owner and only black stylist in the salon. I wish I had said something. My hair is dry and crunchy and my left edges are extremely thin!

I just wanna make a point. Some relaxed heads (like me) need to PS for healthy (no breakage) retention. Without protecting my ends there will be no progress for me to show. But ppl keep telling me that I dont need the wigs to get my length. So, I tried it. I went 20 weeks with no wigs. Wore my hair out or an occassional pin-up for 20 weeks then got a relaxer. Not only did my retention suck but I also received breakage at the nape that gives the thinning look. Now I have to cut 2 inches and start again. Smh With that said, lemme throw my wigs back on & do what I've always known that worked for ME.

I want to use henna on my hair but I'm so scared
erplexed
Mahsiah did henna for the first time a couple weeks ago and like you I was so scared. I kept it simple and it truly was painless. . In fact I'm going to do it again this weekend
I only left it on for 2 hours that first time do the color change was barely noticeable
I will leave it for 3 this time.

All loced up...
Don't be afraid unless you have gray in the front like me. Henna without some help from indigo or Amla will turn gray a red-orange that is not cute. I'm still working on my color but I love the thickness of my strands. Go for it!I want to use henna on my hair but I'm so scared

Waking up the morning after relaxing, I always do the same thing.
Sleepily sit up, slide off my scarf, have a "what the....." moment because there's NO newgrowth!
I love meeting my scalp again!
Or deep conditioning and feeling my hair in the plastic cap feeling bald lol sunnieb

Lilmama1011 you are so right! It takes a few washes for me to get used to feeling my scalp.

pre_medicalrulz I think this was an awesome stretch! My ends look fab and I know it's from all the bunning. I'm going to swang my hair around this week and bun heavily until February.

Reconstructors vs Hard Protien
I've used reconstructors at every wash but now that Im wearing my hair out more frequently, Im thinking of incorporating hard protein treatments. However Im still weighing if its necessary. Any opinions?

I use the ours pack weekly, I think that's a light protein . I have never used a heavy one.
I wear my hair out 5 days a week and I don't experience any breakage
