It Always Been About Hair!
My hair is in box braids now. Hopefully I can rock these bad boys for 12 weeks.

Officially twelve weeks post! When I began this stretch, I decided to switch from long term stretching to trying out 10-12 weeks; however, I am currently in Senegalese twists that I am enjoying and might be open to doing these long term. And what's the point of relaxing just to be braided up? So, we shall see.

It went great! I love my hair! I can wear wash and go's, do better looking "natural" hair styles, and still wear rollersets and wear straight.
I'm going to Cancun in a few weeks, and I was considering options for my trip. I think I'll just wear it curly, or do a fro-hawk or something.
Thanks, ladies!

Did my weekly wash last night with Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Shampoo - my new favorite shampoo, and Aphrogee 2 Minute Protein treatment.
Though I'm 10 weeks post, I don't feel the huge need to TU. My NG seems to be softer than previously; it could be from the MSM I recently started taking again for my joints. Hopefully I will be able to stretch longer than last time...

I'm bone straight & I'm said. My hair doesn't like it at all. I did a Design Essentials reconstructive treatment 3 weeks in a row after my relaxer. It did strengthen my hair up to the point that it's breaking less & shedding less but it's soooo fragile.
I feel like I have an entire head of hair that's useless & that I'm definitely going to have to keep cutting this bone straight hair until it's gone. Then I'm scared if I start texlaxing now, my texlaxed hair is going to be too strong for the bone straight ends & that'll mean more damage.
LE SIGH...

If you texlax thicker and thicker gradually and stick with your regimen, it will be fine.
I had to texlax slowly to keep the demarcation line as strong as possible. If you texlax too thick, your hair will break.

PureSilver - I don't know what type of phone you have but I purchased one of those cradles that people put on their windshield when they're using their phone as a GPS. I stick it to my bathroom mirror & that has made the world of difference as far as taking hair selfies & doing vids even. HTH...

Used creme of nature argan oil from Morocco intensive conditioning treatment. It says sit under hooded dryer. Is it ok if I just shower cap for an hour?

It should be. Might not yield the same results, but I usually wrap a towel over the shower cap.

I'm not really sure what to do with my hair at this point. My hair didn't process at all, I mean not even a little bit. My hair still looks like it's 6 months post relaxer smh.
My hair is pretty resistant but this was my first time self relaxing and I was afraid of over processing so I only left it on for 18 minutes and smoothed twice. I'm just not happy with the way my hair turned out at all. I've never had a corrective and I'm afraid of messing things up even further.

If you decide to get a corrective wait about 6-8 weeks or how ever many you want to wait and get it done by a professional.

The only professional I trust is my mother, but she lives out of state. She's coming up here next week to visit but that's too early to do a corrective and she'll only be here for a few days, don't know the next time I will see her again. When I have gone to professionals, they have messed up my hair so that's why I'm a bit reluctant. I was actually trying to textlax, not have this mess on my head.
