Relaxed Hair Thread

question ???? I'm a newbie to a texturized healthy hair journey ... i was natural for yrs 5 yrs with lot of failures (my hair never grew past my shoulders) and now this texturizer thing has my hair soooo straight:perplexed because i wanted texture i think the stylist left it in my hair to long or something because it burned the back of my scalp:sad:(ppl say linage never burned them) and my hair is thin thin... how can i thicken up my hair??? and how long will it be before i see new growth ? i texturized for the first time oct 25 2013. also i want to know about the protein 2 step treatment how would i know if my hair can stand that heavy protein treatment. i plan on doing the 2 step after every touch up and doing the the lighter one (i forgot what that aphogee protein treatment is called) every 3 weeks ,,, (what you all think is that a good idea?) any other tips thx in advance:yep:

I've come to the conclusion that edge controls don't work for me. Until recently I've been a die-hard afroveda pur whipped hair gelly fan. THE STUFF IS THE TRUTH! It is still my HG gel, but then I tried the Pink ECO styler gel and ive been in love since. I've been using it exclusively for 2 1/2 weeks now and my edges are laid daily. It gives a nice hold w/o the hard crunchy feeling! i seriously love it. Here is my hair today.....

Since your hair is already processed, the only way to make that hair a little thicker is a protein treatment and henna treatment which is also a protein treatment as well because the protein fills in the hair this making it stronger. People know there hair is protein treatment because their hair gets extremely hard and tangled when using protein. I had a thread on here about people not really being protein sensitive and that's it's because the use leave ins and different styling products that have different types of protein so when they actually do a protein treatment they be protein overload. So make sure your styling products are only moisture based. To thicken up your hair you can use castor oil (since you hair is thin go lightly on it when applying when your hair is out so not to thin it out even further or apply when wearing a bun or any other slick back styles). You can also take biotin but some people start getting breakouts after taking it a certain period of time and you have to drink a lot of water with that. Dshsjh4ever and most of all, if you go back to get another texturizing, keep stressing that you want texture so she will get it through her head or go to someone else or do it yourself if you can...

I'm gonna cosign with Lilmama1011

I would also recommend some protein treatments on a regular basis with keratin or silk. Stay away from collagen unless the hair is typically breaking in large amounts.

Hot oil treatment with wheat germ oil or castor oil work wonders an if your hair can handle coconut oil, go for that too.

Also, a texturizer shouldn't be getting your hair too straight. Would you mind posting a picture? If that's the case, you have to speak up with your hair dresser, or as my mom likes to say, go to YouTube university and take a couple of classes there. That's how I learned to do my own relaxers.

Linange did burn me a little, but that's because the way I apply my relaxer, it touched that area of the scalp twice otherwise, it didn't bother me and it typically shouldn't burn. I time my relaxers, so for the future, you my need to do that. And for added texture, after applying the relaxer, don't smooth more than once.

Last, give your hair about a week or two for the actual texture to come out. After I texlaxed, my hair was straighter than I thought and a week later, the texture came back. Here it is 3 weeks later and I have the texture I aimed for so you really have to wait it out.

I ran out of honey, AOHSR, Rooibos tea...Gotta go to Whole Foods tomorrow. I thought I could get away with just using the bare minimum cheap stuff, but nooooo, my spoiled hair has to have the good stuff.
 
How often after henna can you co wash your hair? I want to henna but I co wash so much, I don't want it to be useless.

So I went to Whole Foods to get some AOHSR and of course they are out of the condish. The lady said that they may stop orderin it because of the vendors minimum order quantity. So sad! I purchased the Rosa Mosqueta and the Camomile Luxurious conditioners though. Does anyone use either of those two and can compare it to the HSR?

Vita cost doesn't sell it?

Also, some natural wholesome places sell them.

. I will check vita cost to order on line. I just really want something I can get readily on the ground that is as good as HSR. I may have to go back to Joico. Have you tried the Rosa Masqeuta or Chamomile?

Can anyone please tell me how long a mixed perm lasts? Also, how long do the perms last that you can buy already mixed? Having short hair and relaxing the sides/back more often I should probably look into that.
