i just finished my hair ( pre poo, shampoo and dc) and this is 1 week post virgin relaxer.

i thought id have no texture in my hair as it was bone straight last week but i am air drying and it jas texture. cool. i guess it was the blow dry+ flat irôn last Week.
the stylist had used dark and lovely amla relaxer. no lye, it was fine.
i just dc with the amla moisturizing conditioner (dark and lovely + a little shea butter) hair came out like silk!!!!!!!! so soft.
air drying is leaving more volume.
that conditioner i used smells yummy!

happy for the blunt cut she did

EnExitStageLeft, relaxer: Naked. I was using Design Essentials previously. Shampoo/Condition: Pureology vs. whatever the other salon used (Dudley's, I think). All other factors remain equal. I always get a hood dry / blow dry / trim. My hair does have more volume for some reason.

What do you think it is?

It could be the relaxer. Naked is a awesome line. I use to use their conditioner back in the back,back days. It was like $30 though :perplexed. So i quickly let it go :lachen:.
 
divachyk looking good! How does your hair feel compared to last touch-up? I've never heard of that brand relaxer, is it a new line? Does the Naked relaxer have a mid-protein step?

EnExitStageLeft, it very well may. I just finished writing my blog post and didn't even get a chance to discuss the relaxer. I'll have to post that on another day to compare Naked vs. DE.

MileHighDiva, it feels healthier. No breakage when I run fingers through or comb (not yet anyway). I had never heard of Naked until a few months ago. I'm glad EnExitStageLeft heard of it. Naked seems to be the new thing around here and I'm starting to see it offered by a variety of salons. It's called Naked by Essations. She did a mid-step protein (not sure from what brand/product line) and it hardened the hair like aphogee 2 step. I had asked her so many other questions before getting to the protein step, I didn't ask the brand/name of the mid-step. I know I can get the answer at any time if I find I'm having issues though. SN: The other stylist didn't use a protein that hardened.

How Long did she leave the mid step protein treatment on? Did she put you under the dryer?

Got a relaxer yesterday and my edges seem so thin! I think I got some chemical breakage from the way the stylist applied the relaxer.

I need another stylist.

But, I'm full shoulder length - about 1 inch lower than collarbone which is nice. :)
