Relaxed Hair Thread

:lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen:

I had such a hard time finding a poo and SLS-free poos do not get along with my hair. :arguing: Im not trying to deal with the constant battles anymore.

I definitely know this struggle. Shampoo wrecked havoc on my hair 2 years ago. I never would've believed a shampoo would have caused damage though.
SN: I dont care if they are giving away Proclaim shampoo and conditioner, do not pick it up! Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

I haven't touched proclaim in over a decade.

Yeah, poo was a hard challenge and since I found a good clarifier and weekly poo at the same time by accident, I just stopped looking. Deep conditioner, Idc I don't need to be faithful to just one but my shampoos are HG's and they haven't caused me a setback yet, only healthy things to say about them.
 
Joico Moisture Recovery shampoo and Joico Chelating and Clarifying shampoo have been very good to me. So have Avalon Organics Rosemary and Matrix Biolage hydratherapie shampoos. Cant complain on the hair products front. After all these years I know what works for my she diva and what doesnt. I'm actually downsizing dramatically. After I use up my stash, I will keep the Joico and Redken stuff, but the rest of the products will be vegan/natural/organic only. I like the gentleness of those products.
 
I had a dream I asked my mama to touch up my edges and leaveout for a sew in :look: and she relaxed the entire thing. I was so hurt. Lol I was like atleast give me the chance to decide.

Jewell I can't see your hair pics in the second album

I know, im sorry but Fotki is transferring data to Eastonia from NYC, according to the bulletin in yellow highlight at the very top of the page, so they say 20% of our photos will not be available until data transfer is complete. I went to the albums just now like wtf thinking sme1 hacked in and deleted the files, but i see they are there, just not able to be viewed. Supposedly, after 11/15 data transfer will be finished. I hope they don't screw up or lose my files. Those are not backed up. I will back em all up once they are viewable again.

I'm excited for the spring. Im treating my hair to 3 rollersets a week until then and I'm on my way back to my normal fit self.

I didba jazzing clear rinse and it was ok but I wanna try a more expensive clear rinse.
 
I decided to Henna my hair with Godjur Mahur 9 blends. I just put some oil and water in it, and let it release for a couple of hours, before applying it to my hair.

I slept with the henna in my hair for about 5 hours. Needless to say, 80% of my hair has a coppererish (red/orange) tone in it. It looks a little purple in the light.

I like it, I wish I could post a pic.

My hair almost always clumped after shampooing. I thought it was normal truth be told. Until I happened to read something on justgrowalready's blog. She did a product review and was annoyed that a shampoo made her hair clump. She took before and after pictures and it was like looking at a picture of my own hair.

I began giving my shampoos a strong side eye after this. I happened across Redken's curvaceous curls shampoo (blue bottle) and if I lather my hair with that(no skimping haha) and gently finger comb in the shower, I am unbelievably tangle free with minimal combing post shower. If you can get a sample of the stuff, perhaps try it. The curvaceous curls conditioner makes my hair clump haha but the shampoo is divine. I use it with one and only argon oil deep condish when I wash my hair. HTH
 
lustrous thank you. I will look that up. If it contains protein, I can't use it. My hair is protein sensitive. I will focus my efforts on ph testing to see which ph levels are best for my low porosity, protein sensitive hair. I've never consistently tested ph so that alone may be eye opening.
 
I might be relaxed but I don't like wearing straight hair :look:

I only prefer my hair straight because its less time consuming in the morning and easier to maintain. I also hate the shedding on wash days as a result of air drying. Otherwise, I do not prefer my hair straight either. :look:
 
I did this Jeanette Jenkins workout… My edges and nape are done… Thank goodness for friends and giving me some Curl Junkie Pattern Pusha Gel… But it can't take this small bit of reversion away.
