I found it! Thanks! I went to WallyWorld and they had 4 piece sets for $9.88!! Winning!!! I bought 2....:grin: I am also loving the nutrient spray, I am very heavy handed and need to lighten up but I am so happy you shared this!!!!!

ZOMG jealous!!! That's an incredible deal!! And yeah - nutrient spray is awesome!

I secretly hoard because I'm always paranoid they'll change the formula :look:
 
Okay, I think my problem may be protein overload. I googled the two moisturizers I had been using daily and they both have protein. Also, so does the new conditioner I had been using every now and then. I just clarified and am DCing overnight with keracare moisturizing conditioner. I applied it relaxer style so I'm hoping for the best in the morning!! Thanks ladies for all your help!

I replied back in that thread but it does work well. The runoff causes less damage in the long run.

tapioca_pudding I'm so excited for you! I love that you are doing plenty of research beforehand! :yep:

I do a light protein dc 3 days prior to relaxing and I also do the mid-relaxer protein step. Then my first dc after a fresh relaxer is light protein again. From there I alternate between protein and moisturizing dc's.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I think what Im going to do is spray my hair with SAAs before relaxing, let it air dry, relax and then do a mid protein step. I dont want to risk being underprocessed but I definitely want that added strength. I just have to decide which day Im going to relax.. hell I might do it tonight lol.
 
If high buns are your favorite style but breakage scares you flip your head upside down! I let gravity do all the work for me. I actually have to brush and smooth more for a low bun than I do for high.

I used CHI silk infusion as my SAA and although my hair was a little underprocessed, I will use It every time. I will just have to modify my technique. Go for it!

Babygrowth - I went home on my lunch break and misted my hair with SAA. :look: :lol: Im okay if its a bit underprocessed this go round, Ill jus know how to tweak it for next time like you mentioned. Thank you for responding!
 
I love baggying overnight. But I'm someone who does very regular protein treatments. I don't think it's a good idea if you're not sure you're getting enough protein.

I use the CHI every relaxer and the crisco traps it in. it still works pretty good.

Anyone used affirm fiberguard or naked relaxer with success or unfortunately, failure.

I used the Affirm. It leaves a lot of texture. Its good, but I wouldn't recommend it since I don't see myself using it in the future.

For you ladies who do the ghe method, what has it done for your relaxed hair?

It left my hair wet, then a tad moist. I had to use protein more often.
 
I think my hair retains moisture well from my conditioner because any of the methods mentioned to boost moisture levels (ex. Cowashing, baggying, GHE) leave my hair greasy and nasty.

I only baggy for a couple of hours and its mostly when I do bantu knots or apply a product intended for growth. It maintains my moisture level and helps all products really sink in. My highly porous hair Can't take more than 3 hours. By the way I love your hair! :drool:
 
Someone come talk to my edges because the gels gave up!

So I was trying to wait until the week of my birthday to relax (Dec 17) but I want to look cute for the holiday!!!! I'm tired of my bun and I think a blow out right now would be a disaster....hmmmmmmmm maybe a bantu knot out.
