Relaxed Hair Thread

[flyygirlll2]

flyygirlll2, we are harder on ourselves than others. Are you able to visit mom a few times to let her get your hair back on track? I don't mind you thinking out loud. I've had a run in with split ends before but it was definitely mechanical damage -- denman and tangle teezer. It took a good year to resolve that damage. I trimmed and chopped and trimmed and chopped until all splits were gone.

I wanted to go visit her for Christmas but doesn't look like that's going to happen. She will be coming up to visit around March or April of next year cause my SIL is due to have her baby around that time. All I've done this year is trim but the mandatory positive here is that my hair grows well and sometimes quickly so growth is not an issue. My husband thinks I should go back to the salon... I had to side eye him cause that could only make things worse and I'm not about to let just anyone touch my hair.

flyygirlll2 I'm sad that it was a rough year for you and your hair suffered. I'm here with you and for you. All we can do is take it one day at a time. At least you recognized your hair is suffering. And this is one of the best places to think out loud. These ladies have some knowledge AND encouraging words. This isn't Allstate, but you're in good hands

That's very sweet of you, thank you. Yeah this year I've had enough setbacks. I'm over it.

 

[Babygrowth]

Saludable84, I def agree.

Babygrowth, I'm so impressed that your hair doesn't loc or matte at the line of demarcation.

shortdub78, I take my braids down every few days, finger detangle/de-shed, moisturize and rebraid.

I know. This is new for me so I will be monitoring a lot. My line of demarcation doesn't give me a lot of trouble because my texlaxed hair and ng are very similar.

I just used dry shampoo for the first time ever, and I LOVE IT! As the can promised, it really did refresh and revive my hair. Who knew? (Apparently, everyone but me.)

You're welcome dear. You and I both are done with this year.

 

[iLurk]

Where do you find dry shampoo at?

and a really dumb question, you just put it on your hair right?

You are not the only one.

 

[flyygirlll2]

You are not the only one.

Just waiting until next year and praying things will be onward and upward from there.

[mochalocks]

Wrong thread. Sorry

 

[iLurk]

ookay finally got my wig I am on the fence about the color. Its not as subtle as i like and its on chaka khan's level of thickness. i like big hair but i gotta thin this out

 

[mochalocks]

Got my first sew in weave yesterday. I feel weird with it.

 

[missyrayne19]

that sounds good!

 

[missyrayne19]

It WAS good. Totally worth the laziness I felt earlier. I'll be up half the night doing my hair, but hey, what else is new?

 

[missyrayne19]

So I clarified my hair today. Skipped my usual pre-poo and jumped right into shampooing. Did that twice before doing a hard protein with the Aphogee 2 step. I feel like some sort of anomaly sometimes y'all when it comes to my hair's love affair with protein. When I rinsed out the treatment, my hair was like BUTTA. I mean, soooo soft yet strong at the same time. It was almost like I had given myself a moisturizing deep condition session instead, that's how good it felt!

I'm currently deep conditioning now, but I gotta ask, is anyone else's hair like this?? Or am I the odd one out

 

[flyygirlll2]

Today is my birthday and I was supposed to do my hair yesterday but I had a migraine so I will just do my hair today. Debating whether I should do a color rinse. I have blue black and ruby red from Adore.

msrayne19 Nope not just you. In fact my hair feels its best after an Aphogee 2 step treatment. If I wasn't scared of a setback I would try not using a moisturizing DC afterwards.

 

[divachyk]

Oooooooooh that's what's up shortdub78!!! I'm loving your progress. Keep doing what you're doing girlfriend.
