Relaxed Hair Thread

[Saludable84]

Bantu knots.

I use to do this years ago but y'all got a sister revisiting her high school days.... Do you ladies let the hair air dry completely then the knots or put in the knots after you detangle when the knots are still wet. When I shed to do it, my hair would be completely dried.

Getting my winter regimen together. Plan on doing 2strand twist throughout my whole head and hide all but the first 3 twist to make a faux bang and cover the rest with a silk bonnet then a hat.

Please excuse my iPhone

I've only done mines on dry hair. I've never tried to do it with wet or damp hair. I moisturize then knot them at night. Wake up and take them dwn

@JudithO Yesssss! I feel the same way about the thinnest parts of my bone straight ends. Just used it and really helped my 13 weeks post relaxer.

Do you plan on mixing SAA with the Kanechom Ceramidas? Just thinking about mixing SAA and panthenol with it has me excited.

Aw yay, if I do I'll be excited I'm not alone!

Yep!!!! Should be yummy!!

I let my hair air dry to 60 or 70%. Then use my leave ins, then seal and two strand twist up into the knots. It dries softer when the hair is mostly dry before you start.

I LOVE this HHJ!!

I currently have natural bra strap length hair but I wish it was relaxed but I'm scared that my hair will break off if I get it relaxed and all of my hard work will be over but you ladies have gorgeous hair

When I first tried I had looked a hot mess. Then I tried it again and they were lovely. Keep trying. You will get it.

I'll keep trying. Thanks.

When I used to try to air dry in bantu knots, it took 4 days to dry. Now I wait until its 90% air dried before applying.

What do you use on ur ends to keep the braid in? I currently use rubber bands but they are a hassle to get off when my hair is dry. BTW, your braidout is gorge!!!!

Full & Thick

medium perm rod, they are purple, as thick as an index finger and thanks!


Suave Almond and Shea butter conditioner is a new staple. I was suffering from a small protein overload and it instantly moisturized and turned my hair to silk.

Only you know whats best for your hair. If it ain't broke - dont fix it.

[Guinan]

Relaxer day!!

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

pelohello

They're not mine but they might be pomeranians. Lol I think...

 

[brownb83]

I have been looking at braided updos all day.

I'm obsessed!

 

[Saludable84]

Im gonna clarify today. I want to do bantu knots or a braid out now, either with diffused hair (diffusers are the best thing for air dried hair), but my hair is not thanking me for being in an air dried state for so long. Back to roller sets for a while…

 

[Mahsiah]

When I look at youtube girls who are relaxed and flat iron their hair, I drool at their SWANG.

I don't use heat, so if I want straight hair I have to do a rollerset. I never get that kind of swang..

@Mahsiah What products do you use when rollersetting? I don't use any product on my hair other than leave-in, saving the moisturizer, etc. for after I take the rollers out and my hair swings fairly nicely. Not as nice as if I'd used direct heat, but it's pretty good.

Also, even though I know that's not her real hair, I am so jealous of Beyonce in your siggy.

Saludable84 Do you mean diffusers like the blowdryer attachment? How do you use it?

I use lottabody setting lotion and moisture. I mean my hair has nice body to it, but it's nothing like flat iron swang.

lol right @ bey

Yes. I just detangle with my leave-in and oil as usual but I have the diffuser (dryer) on and blowing in the direction I am detangling in from about a 1' difference. Once I am fully done, I just hold the drier and try to dry my hair in wetter areas by putting the diffuser closer, but not too close. Like 6" away. My hair never fully dries with it, but it dries it faster than just using the t-shirt method. Its great, just be prepared to deal with thicker hair.
