Just did a self touch up using DE sensitive scalp
Results are pretty good but I'm too tired to roller set tonight.

Air dry and moisturize and in the AM, set with some flexi rods a couple of hours before you leave out. Quickest roller set ever
 
So aside from the part where I accidentally got relaxer in my eye when I rinsed it out (OUCH!), I think this was my most successful self-relax attempt yet. Such a huge difference from my first abysmal attempt two years ago.

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

mschristine, Asian Coconut Cleansing is good but I prefer HairVeda Amala Cream Rinse. I'm not a fan of Hair One.

mochalocks, CON is great but causes buildup for me which defeats the purpose since it impacts my hair's ability to accept moisture.

Hope you're ok and congrats NaiyaAi

NaiyaAi, OMG that's my biggest fear!!! I'm glad ur ok.
 
My hair was so dry and tangled this morning..I used my moisturizing spritz and let it sit a few minutes and then i gently detangled..then i used a lil olive oil and mango butter moisturizer and my sealing oil. Only lost a little bit of hair:-) I'm seeing wonderful long lasting results from 2 step treatment I did a week and a half ago

I have recently learned that my hair is ceramide deprived. I went back and read the first page of the challenge thread. It does a good job of explaining why they work well for high porosity hair like mine. Every time I would wash, I would just m&s on damp hair without detangling bc I would lose too much hair. I would just air dry using the scarf method and then most of the tangles would fall out on their own.

When I started using ceramide oils to seal, my hair instantly softened due to the cuticles laying down nicely from the oil. For me, safflower oil works the best and has a neutral smell. The wheat germ oil is good but it STINKS SO BAD!!

I LOVE this HHJ!!

That almost happened to me once and I just kept my eye under the water for IDK how many minutes. That is the only thing I miss about professional treatments.

Saludable84, hope u like it. Don't forget to post pics:yep: do you have the lye or no lye? I use the lye texturizer.

I bought the lye relaxer though the texturizer has the same ingredients. So far I really like it. And I will post pictures. I think I am going to keep using this relaxer if I like my roller set results.
 
Both vids have gorgeous results!! I noticed that they both did each twist toward the front going toward the face. I think this is important to getting the right results

I LOVE this HHJ!!
