I couldn't get consistent results with Butter Blends. I relaxed 3 times using the same steps and received different results each time. I used the same strength(mild) and applied it for the same amount of time.
 
I stopped using Mizani since late last year. It was leaving me under processed. I now use Affirm and I'm loving it so far.
 
I tried to do a (2) ponytail roller set but my hair looks HAM. I couldn't get my hair over the magnetic rollers smooth enough to give me the result I was looking for. I may have t-shirt dried it too much before putting them in.

Last week I used sponge rollers over dry hair so I will try that again tonight.

Combing through the hair should smooth it out. And make sure you stretch it if you have growth that you want smooth.
 
It's been 4 weeks since my last relaxer, about 6 weeks of Aphogee 2 minute weekly and my hair is doing GREAT!!! Finally!!!!!! I think I will prepoo with some Vatika oil, ORS aloe shampoo, follow with my boo-thang SM Yucca Boabab shampoo, protein, DC with Aubrey HSR and roller set and wrap. Hoping for silky, bouncy curls today. Fingers crossed! It seems the longer my hair gets, the better it is. Who would have thought keeping the scissors away and regular protein would do the trick...
 
bored with my hair. have only been relaxed since March or April after years of being natural and stuck at apl. but right now I'm in a style rut..don't have the money for weave or braids. The styles I try never turn out right..guess I just gotta experiment since I'm not used to relaxed hair..

Are you comfortable with doing your own hair?
 
^ The only thing I know how to do on my own is braidouts and I think I've outgrown that now because they aren't as defined as they used to be. I tried straightening my own hair with no luck what so ever it would revert as soon as I take the flat iron off.

If you blow dry your hair on cool or medium, or even with the diffuser attachment, the hair can come out a little fuller to give the Braidout more definition.

I'm still getting the hanged flat ironing so no advice there. Lol
 
^ I'll try doing it that way now. I usually just wait til my hair is semi dry after washing braid it up and just let it air dry overnight and it would come out beautifully. But now when I do it its just flat so now I'm transitioning into wash and gos.

I sweat in my head and my hair is so dry in the back because of it.

brownb83, I sweat a lot also. I use to wash 1x weekly and struggled with dryness and breakage. I now wash 2x weekly and that has made a huge difference. Is that an option for you? I shampoo the first wash day and co-cleanse midweek.
 
I got a T/U on Saturday and got a trim. I think I lost all my growth I made for the year. All because I got hair lazy in the past 2 months. Sigh....

Back to the basics I go.
