Got a much needed and wonderful trim yesterday. Some pearls would be clutched at her trimming method though. I'm was like when I heard the scissors but :grins: when I saw my hair. That underprocessed area in the back was a lot of it had to go. I think I'm still grazing BSL atleast but I don't care

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

pre_medicalrulz did you say you were going back to wigs?

I would like to but not at the moment. I am preparing for a sew-in. Going to try something new.

 

[coolsista-paris]

coolistaparis, I went 2 the salon when I went back 2 relaxed. I paid about 100.00. Are the cost of things higher in paris? Is seems like she's charging u atleast fifty bucks more. But honestly, I would pay that much for a TRUSTED hairdressor.

Anyone ever tried a braidout on their air dried hair? I may just have to add it to the list of things to try out.

I just did. Last night. I didn't like the way mines came out so I ended up putting it in a bun

This is the only way I will do a braid out at this point. I mist my ends with water though.

I prefer mine on air dried hair. They come out bigger and fluffier. When I do it on wet hair it looks too "done"

GettingKinky doing it on dry hair makes it look smoother because I'm able to smooth the hair really well before braiding or twisting.

 

[Theresamonet]

I'm thinking about taking my hair a bit straighter. More towards fully relaxed. Decisions, decisions...

 

[Theresamonet]

Any ladies who are fully relaxed or at least 90-95% straight? How is your hair doing?

 

[RoundEyedGirl504]

Any ladies who are fully relaxed or at least 90-95% straight? How is your hair doing?

Mine is about90%. No issues so far. I do moderate protein about once a month.

I've never seen a stylist individually price a relaxer. Relax, shampoo, deep condition, trim and style seem like they go hand in hand. Cant be mad if she thinks thats her worth the break down she can keep. Ummm no!

[Mahsiah]

Theresamonet it's doing well.

I just realized UloveMegz is my hair twin during her earlier vids when she was fully relaxed, she's texlaxed now. We both have fine hair and even when we were natural, our hair was still really fine which makes it look thin (when straight).

Don't you ever leave us again. I will e-fight you.

Doing great. Retained every inch this yr. will be WL by Dec.

 

[Theresamonet]

It's kinda... Kinky straight? I'm not sure how I should describe it or what percentage I would assign it. The majority of my hair is straight, but textured and not smooth. The nape (where I have a looser curl pattern) is about a 3a wave, but cottony. It tangles often.

I want to be able to comb and brush through my hair and get the sheds out on a regular basis. Still too kinky for that. I'm thinking about going silky.

Too expensive.. If I were you, I'd do it myself. Practice several times with a thick conditioner to get comfortable. I relaxed my virgin hair in a salon and my results werent great.

Look at the video below for self relaxing virgin hair.

That's fantastic! Did you go right from relaxed to fully natural, or did you veer off into texlaxed territory for a while?

Thank Was never texlaxed. Went from natural straight to relaxed 2 years ago. No problems at all since I started self relaxing. Stylists usually overprocessed me.

 

[Theresamonet]

My primary fear of going straighter is thinning my hair out too much.

yup seems everything is higer here except loreal and garnier products.

the thing is i dont know any of the stylists at these salons... and you know that most expensive one had a black stylist with a stupid attitude i dont like! the type of black that treat other blacks like ****.... she was so nice to the caucasian clients though..... pfff idiot

im gonna keep looking this week and find my old stylist...

hey thanks . if i dont find my old stylist ( 6 years ago) i will do it myself. i will then just go to a salon for a cut.
i plan after that to do things myself.
when i was explaining to the stylist yesterday that i dont want bone straight she looked at me like " what does this girl mean".. i explained and explained its not a texturizer i want its just a relaxer at like 90% .... seems difficult to understand, for that price of 186$

why stylist always over processing????? some times i wonder what they learn in beauty school ....

how long do u leave on the relaxer?

 

[JudithO]

I rinse as soon as I'm done smoothing... Max 25 minutes but nowadays I'm at 21 minutes... If the weather is warmer hair processes quicker too. I use the optimum relaxer in the red box if that helps. I think stylist leave it too long and always always overlap my previously relaxed hair... I think that's my main problem... Overlapping .... I use porosity control on my previously relaxed ends and use a sprush to apply.... No more issues.
