:lachen::lachen::lachen:I feel the same way about my hair.

I even used a Lye relaxer thinking my hair will have no choice but to straightened. NOPE!!

But the good thing is no more SSKs!

I came to terms with my rebellious hair years ago. I had to *cough* my screen name is TamedTresses. :lol:

Lucky you on the SSKs. I cut a few out earlier this week! :spinning:

Posting this is definitely going to jinx it, but...

I guess my hair hasn't realized that Sunday is touch-up day. I haven't felt a single itch yet.
 
pelohello

Since I relaxed on Sept. 26, I've been wearing my hair out. I decided not to do twist outs everyday because it's too much manipulation for my fine hair. So I've been air drying 90% or so and then applying a serum before blowdrying on medium. Since I just relaxed my hair it's straight and skipping the flat iron ensures that my hair doesn't look too flat. My hair has been really soft and moisturized. At night I put grapeseed oil on my ends and cross wrap. I relax every 10-12 weeks, so I'll see at the next relaxer how this goes. I decided to try it out because I want to see if I can gain/retain length without wearing a bun all the time. Plus, I think bunning might be hurting my ends.
 
Did an Emgergencee treatment today; love the results! No hair when rinsed, no broken pieces when detangled,and none when blowdrying!
 
So... :look:.... around 8wks post, I started shampooing my hair once a week, and not just regular shampoo, the chelating kind. :look:

I did it because, everytime I reach 8 wks, I start getting crazy breakage... which naturally led me to believe I just *couldn't* stretch. This time I tried something new. Under the logic that not chelating and using no lye can result in mineral deposits, I made a point to keep my hair CLEAN (says the former cw'ing fiend, lol) in order to see if my strands accepted moisture and stopped breaking. It worked! :up: Like I said above, I'm at 12 wks, longest stretch ever, and planning to do at least 2 more wks.

Question: I'm trynna get my pre-perm supplies together, but I'm feeling funny about my protein situation. Is Emergencee still considered a hard protein (since they changed ingredients and instructions)? Or should I go for the Aloxxi Polymedic Recon (also by Nexxus)? I also have Dudley's drc-28. I'm asking because I haven't used protein in forever, but I have beenn adding a generous squirt of Neutral Protein Filler to my dc's and od'ing on ceramides. (not to say that replaces real protein, just filling in the picture)

pre_medicalrulz, I know you swear by Nexxus. What do you think?
 
How do yall feel about wet wrapping hair? After you detangle your wet hair, you wrap it as if you rollerset it?

I've only used the Polymedic by Nexxus. It doesn't get my hair hard when I put on a conditioning cap. I like it & it does the job. Hmmm, if you try either let us know how it went.

Emergencee is hard. I still had a bottle in my shower. It doesn't get hard but it is a heavy protein. When I used to use it, it was great before relaxing and my hair was still strong afterwards. Unless your hair is not holding moisture badly, you have moisture overload or your hair is breaking or shredding by just looking at it, you might not need it. Polymedic is medium/hard in my opinion as I used to let it get hard when I felt like it, but for the most part didn't and I never god overload. That is my best protein to date. Collagen is a great protein, but my hair is stush and only wants to be friends with keratin.

Yeah. The one I had specify to use it once a month. At first I was using it biweekly then once a month then six weeks. Now I just use mediums. But it depends on the Emergencee. That small bottle that was $20 would be lasting me 4 months, idk! Lol. But if there are no broken hairs that's a good thing. Your hair needed it and by not breaking, it's thanking you now :)

I hope so too. I went to her after Coming back from doing some errands, so a lady saw me from the across street, and told me that she went some where real quick.

I decided to go home, and grab a bite to eat. 1 hour later, and she still was not there at her shop. Good thing I live walking distance to her, but I was annoyed.

Don't know if I joined or not but .. I'm jumping in lol. I have been bad about not m&s'ing and my ends are suffering . Tonight I decided to braid my hair and m&s the first time and literally like .. A few weeks !
 
I used Hair One last night..not a fan. I really want to find a cleansing conditioner that works but I think that using the shea moisture retention shampoo will work just as good. It leaves my hair clean but soft, it doesn't tangle my hair and I comb my hair out afterwards before I put in my conditioner with no issues

Cleansing conditioners take some getting used to. They leave my hair thicker and more moisturized, but I get more buildup at the same time. Sometimes, nothing beats a shampoo.

I wish they did that for me..they make my hair so tangly and stripped..I'll stick with my Shea moisture
 
Ive had a good couple of hair weeks. Im learning more and more about what my hair needs. I have been going strong on ayurvedic treatments for the past month and recently added ceramide oils to my regimen. Hair is high porosity and prone to tangles so the safflower oil and henna have really helped. I went back and read the benefits of ceramides in the challenge thread and it was just what I needed. My texturized strands have been so much easier to manage. I will watch closely during this month to see if I get more growth and retention than usual.

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
This is the BEST hair anything I have point blank period! It's a soft bonnet you connect to a blow dryer. I love it! I don't have to pull out the big dryer for me DC and best of all I'm comfortable. I got my 1st one at Wal-Mart but I found my new one at the BSS for 10$
