Relaxed Hair Thread

Time to start wearing hats now. I hate wearing them because it will mess up my hair, but its starting to get really cold out there.

Vita cost doesn't sell it? Also, some natural wholesome places sell them.

I just placed my order of 6 bottles and it was more than HALF LESS than what I would typically pay WITH FREE SHIPPING! I really need to open my mind up more to online shopping. And I ordered some Monoi Tajoi something something vanilla and coconut oil. Looking forward to my package. THANKS Saludable84 !!!!!!!!!!!

Saludable84 How you deal with all that cold? I'd go insane. I hate being hot, but I don't think I'd enjoy it being -4 degree's either :lachen:.

I've lived here all my life; you don't get used to it you just prepare for it. Also, I've never experienced ~4 degrees, you'd have to find someone in buffalo or Syracuse to answer that for you. Thanks to "global warming" it barely gets in the 20's anymore and thats a huge "barely" because 34-42 is usually a normal.

Your probably like "WHAT!" Yes girl. Our winters are pretty stable, like summer, for the most part. My mother lives I Georgia and she told me how ya shut the city over a half inch of snow lmao! I was like "week need 2 feet to get shut down!" Nothing stops the day going up here.

No problem. I'm glad it worked well for you. I bought my Nubian body washes from them. I bought the five I like and 2 bar soaps with free shipping for less than the amount I would have paid if I went to the store, with tax and traveling to get them. My friend put me on to them and now I'm spreading the word.

Hi ladies, what does it mean if your hair becomes extremely fragile when it's wet? I have no major problems when my hair is dry, but every wash day I lose SO much hair. Just touching it causes clumps of long strands to come out as if it just melts off of my head.

That sounds like moisture overload...I think you need some protein.

Y'all sho need to stop with that talk about the S word! I'm in the Ville (KY) and we have a mixed bag. We can have 70 degrees one day and 30 the next and and ice storm that will break all the branches off the trees. I'm trying to enjoy the fall colors if you please.

LOL. They started it!!! No, I feel your pain, but your inland :sad: Come closer to the coast, the water is nice :yep:
 
I went to college in Grambling, La. When it snowed the snow came to the top of your shoes. They closed the place down. I was the only person that went to class that day. We need a lot of snow to close companies and schools.

I love the coast...I'm so sad that the closest we come to a shoreline is that nasty looking Ohio river! I'm going to live on the coast in my next life. :)

I saw this video on tv and I had to pick my mouth up. Between the 40 minutes processing time and possible overlapping, lets just say this is unicorn hair at its best! Lilmama1011 would enjoy this.

And she doesn't use expensive products either. People always in the comments telling her to trim and she always say she doesn't have a problem and her hair isn't breaking so she will leave it. I think she does need a small trim by whatever it's her hair and she is retaining length so

PlainJane, could also mean protein overload. Does the hair snap easily (too much protein) or stretch then snap (too much moisture)?
 
I have a lot of grape seed oil I need to use up. Can I prepoo with just that and a plastic cap? I've never prepoo'd in life but I'm cleaning out my cabinets!

-4 degrees is nothing to mess with!...that cold will have you crying. I'm not from Upstate NY, but am from downstate NY(NYC) and we sometimes experience -2, -4, etc those type of degrees. :nono:

I don't even want to think about it...let me enjoy this fall weather.

I'm in downstate too and the coolest I ever experienced is 15 degrees in high school. My friend and I are talking about sledding!!!!

I'm trying to enjoy the fall weather too, but the fall weather needs to decide what temp it likes... Sometimes I wear flats and I freeze and other times I wear boots and I sweat. But my hair be tight... For now.

Thanks for your response! I did do the aphogee two step protein treatment when it first began and it helped immediately until two wash days later. So I did another one...and the same thing happened. :( I started to incorporate protein in a daily moisturizer too but every now and then my hair goes back to just melting away in my hands and comb when it's wet.
Maybe I need to find another hardcore protein treatment. Any recs?

Wow maybe it's that because it doesn't stretch at all. It's so odd though because after a protein treatment there's almost zero breakage but around two weeks after my hair goes back to breaking off in clumps. Every time I use a comb to pass through a small section of my hair when detangling it, there's at least 20 strands in the comb.

Extremely frustrating. What have you tried to fix it? It's gotten to the point where every single wash day ends in tears and my SO picking up the hair so I don't have to look at how much it is. Another thing that's weird is the broken strands can range from as short as eyelash length to the length of my longest strands.

You may benefit from a hair analysis.

I almost never do a hard protein. I've done one this year. I try to incorporate some protein in my deep conditioning sessions. I think that keeps my hair from swinging from one extreme to the other. What conditioner do you use on a normal wash day?
 
It's gonna be my hair and a protein treatment on my next wash day. I had to use 2 forms of direct heat to straighten my hair last week (was pressed for time) and my hair does not like it.
