Relaxed Hair Thread

Jewell said:
Relaxed my hair yesterday, clarified & chelated, and did a long Ayurvedic herb mask (2 hrs), plus a long DC (2 hrs). I was 15 weeks post, and intended to wait until Nov. 3, but I was just sick of the tangling. Hair is shiny, smooth, and happy.

I gave her the works yesterday, but I was happy to see I only had to shampoo with neutralizing shampoo 3 good times...by letting it sit on my hair for at least 5 mins, the suds turned white 2 shampoos faster than it usually does if I keep the EQP Stop-Action Neutralizing shampoo just 2 mins. Oh, and I trimmed 1-1.25" off this month, just to clean up the racer hairs that are growing longer and faster than the others. Unlikely to trim for another year or more.

Gonna henndigo this weekend if I'm home. Then, I'll leave it be (except for washing, air-drying, and bunning weekly) until next month when I henna again. Ordered me some fenugreek powder for my hair (have taken it in capsule form for a long time), so I will do a treatment after my 24-48 oxidation time for henna/indigo (I wait 24-48 hrs to shampoo so the color will stay; I just rinse and apply oil as many Indian ladies advise to do after the initial application--if you don't want the color to bleed).

Ok enough rambling. Gudnight y'all...SuchaLady gave us a new group name: "The Relaxed Boos." I love it! :yep:

Thanks for posting that beautiful bun that Saludable84 is sporting. It is rather lovely! I was just saying to myself this week that I want to try other elegant buns and updos, those my hair is finally long enough to look really full in. I'm on a mission to learn Medieval, Edwardian, and Victorian hair styles. When I watch "Bleak House" and other period shows, I really love the styles the actresses wear.:lick: Please keep us posted on your transition, lady!

Thank you ladies. I see a lot of girls in the city with that style and I am really tired of bunning. I need more straight hair challenges. Y'all inspired me to wash tonight and roller set because a sista was about to put this hair in the evil dookie twists and go to work with a hat on :look::look::look:
 
Is anyone using ayurvedic oils? If so, how? I received my fenugreek oil as well as an alma brahmi mix and plan to use it on my 10 weeks post new growth.

This cooler weather is killing my airdrying time! It's been an hour and my hair is STILL wet!:(

Same here. I even skipped wash day because I didn't want to get sick walking around with a wet head all day. I may have to roller set again instead of airdrying & flexi rods. Boohoo!
 
ElegantElephant In the last 2 months I've been using ayurvedic products and loving it. I made my own bhringaraj, hibiscus, shikaki and tulsi oil and it's yummy:yep: I also infused fenugreek seeds in rice bran oil. Both oils I find to be non greasy which I love and the first mix decreases shedding for me too:yep:
 
Did a flat wrap last night for the first time. I like it.

I had to hurry and do a aphogee protein treatment because after my relaxer i was having shedding and breakage like crazy :no:
 
Im only 8 or 9 weeks post but I dont have time for this. If Im going to spend all night washing & straightening just for a cut then I mind as well do all of this on a fresh relaxer soooooo relaxer tonight it is!

So freaking excited!

Starting fresh at WL. ;)
 
I got so many compliements on my hair yesterday at a family members church.

What amazed me was the fact since my hair is healthy every person assumed I didn't relax my hair.

Your too boss status for me. At 8-9 weeks, in still considering my relaxer fresh smh
 
Augh! My mom fell asleep so I had to cut it myself. I cut while in 2 ponytails then I cut in 8 sections; 4 on each side. Then I tried to cut with it all in one ponytail but that didn't work cause my hair is not flat ironed so it couldn't fit in one ponytail. Sigh... I did ok but Im sure I need to get a lot more. But its 1am & Im seeing double so will try again tmr night. Maybe I will flat iron to get a better picture of what Im doing.....
 
That moment when you wash your hair a week after a relaxer only to find out you paid $90 to be severely under processed...AGAIN!

*heads to self relaxing thread*
 
Thinking of switching from ors to affirm or phyto. ors leaves me underprocessed no matter how much smoothing I do *le sigh*
