Yay we are often forgotten.
I have a super keep it simple regimen: Moisture morning and night with glycerin based product and oil, braid at night in 2 plaits or just bun & tie down with a scarf, wash/condition/detangle every weekend.
If my hair is feeling dry and I have alot of product already in my hair, I will run water through my hair, put in my bun or do a braidout if I decide to detangle.

I know we're kind of talkin' about reggies, but since all the relaxed heads are in one place I have a question for everybody.
How do you guys style your hair the week after a relaxer when it's thin and limp? My hair was really dry and, I fear, damaged after my trip to the salon, so all I really wanna do is protective style and do hairstyles with low manipulation, but my hair is so thin right now. If I wanted to wear my hair down and straight I would love it, but I don't. I tried a braidout last night, but that was a big flop. My braidouts look SOOOOO much better a month or two after a relaxer.
So what tips do you guys have?
I wear my hair straight-straight for about a week, but after that I will rollerset to get more volume. My braidouts look better after about 3 weeks and I go back to them. I also fluff my braidouts out a bit to make them look fuller until I get more new growth.
Hey, ladies - one of my favorite relaxed youtubers, Frogan just relaxed her hair after a 15-month stretch! It looks so healthy. YouTube - Relaxed!!- 15 Month Stretch Ended
You can skip to minute 16 if you just want to see her straight hair.
Thanks for the tips and the link!!!!
I've been rocking this air dryed bun for the past few days, because I didn't feel like setting it. But I don't like how my ends feel or look. In my mind rough/jagged= in need of a trim. BUT I just got one smh
Is there a trick to keeping the ends smooth?
I'm relaxed 4B. I will be relaxing this weekend and I will be APL (finally!!).
My regimen is very simple:
-I wash and deep condition twice per week
-Protein treatment once per month
-Bun religiously
-Limited heat usage
-Relax every 4 months (previously every 6 months)
My products:
-Hair One Tea Tree
-Nexxus Humectress
-Nexxus Keraphix
-Nexxus Emergencee
-Redken Extreme Anti Snap
-Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Castor Oil
-Relax with Phyto II
I had been stretching my relaxers every 6 months but my hair has gotten so thick (which is good) that I can no longer handle it myself. I self relax. I am currently 15 weeks post and it is so thick that I am relaxing this weekend. There's too much breakage at this point. My goal is to be BSL by the end of the year, so I'm keeping my regimen and products consistent and simple.
