I got straight from Eden relaxer sitting around. I am going to just use castor oil to base when the time comes.

Me too!What did you use on your hair?
Nothing special. I did it on stretched hair, dry hair. I just sprayed each section lightly with my leave in spray and verrrry lightly sealed It with olive oil before braiding. I made sure to spray and coat my ends with extra spray and olive oil before rolling them to ensure a good set. I let it air dry for a couple of hours before taking it down.

I've never tried it on dry hair, only damp. I will try that next time; hopefully it will cut down on the frizz.

Idk if anyone else has this problem but my nape is APL while the rest of my hair is close to WL. It's so annoying. The rest of my hair grows like weeds and my nape is just sitting on the short bus. That's actually one of the reasons why I don't wear my hair out, In conscious of it a little too much.

That's the reason why it's probably short. Too much tension on it with wearing a ponytail and brushing the edges constantly

I'm style challenged unfortunately which is why I live in buns. I don't wear ponytails, I mainly have my hair in a low bun or twist that I clip up and it's typically worn loosely to avoid tension. I think also it's always been the first place to get relaxed and left on for a long time since it's one of the coarsest areas of my hair. I'm just going to focus more on that area now,

My hair feels nice! Washed with my garlic shampoo. I just like the feel and smell of it.
I dc'ed with silicon mix Bambu. I used creme of nature straight from Eden leave in spray, Bambu leave in and Eden oil. Once my hair was almost dry, I used kckt, some grapeseed/avocado oil and qhemet twisting butter on my ends and new growth. I was very light with applying product. I had no problem with detangling.

Will do!
My nape is shorter too and I'm style challenged as well! I do wear buns but they are very loose, and I rarely use a brush on my edges and nape. I will focus more on that area in 2015...

Perhaps my styling products arent working the same.I definitely see why so many girls are susceptible to overprocessed hair. My hair was stick straight when the relaxer was on it and when I rinsed. A few weeks later and it is almost as wavy as it was beforehand. No one has even realized/asked if I relaxed my hair

Girl.
now, this was the biggest learning curve as a new texlaxer; that's why my time has jumped from 7 minutes during my Virginia texlax to 12-14 minutes. And still, all the reversion. Lol

greenandchic I rarely use a brush on my edges or nape either. My edges and nape are like a 4C and I gave up a verrrrrry long time ago on having laid edges cause even if Jesus came through and commanded for them to lay down they would not lol.

I'm a bit annoyed with my NG. I've been on this journey for 3 years now and I STILL have yet to find a moisturizer that my NG won't laugh at 
it's really annoying. Dry new growth is also part of the reason why I can't go beyond 12 weeks without getting a touch up. My hair starts breaking at the line of demarcation because it's dry, dry, dry! I'm feeling a bit frustrated right now honestly.

I need to stop being lazy with m&s the correct way... I just did it right this morning and my hair feels hydrated! It just takes so long. The products I having been using has my hair smelling so good! KCKT, straight from Eden leave in, and my oil mix. May just wait until tomorrow to wash.

do you use a moisturizing spray on your new growth first? That works for me! And carry with you and spray throughout the day if needed.I'm a bit annoyed with my NG. I've been on this journey for 3 years now and I STILL have yet to find a moisturizer that my NG won't laugh at

greenandchic girl your edges and bun look good. I wish mine looked half as decent. I'm about 8 weeks post but look like I'm 6 months post due to the under processed roots from the last touch up. I have some shrinkage.

it really moisturized my hair! They changed the formula too! It used to have aloe in it. Now it's mango something. The leave in spray smells so good too! It is light and won't leave your hair wet!

shortdub78 girl I don't even know lol. I'm trying to get the shedding and splits I have been getting under control before I even think about a touch up.
I've been SD/trimming every other week so my ends are getting better at least. I've cut a lot this year but it grew back quickly at least. I usually stretch for 5-6 months the most mainly cause I don't want to be bothered with my hair lol but then I end up regretting it due to tangles.

Thanks! I use a thick leave in and a scarf to tame them. They are pretty fuzzy by the end of the day though. I was using edge tamer but it made my hair too slick looking.
I'm going to end the stretch next week at 16.5 weeks; I'm going to start prepping my hair today. About 1/2" of that is from a previous under processed session. The front of my hair is a very lose 4a/3c but the back is tighter. I'm having a difficult time dealing with the NG at this point...
