Heading out for my relaxer in about an hour. I just based my scalp with JBCO and emu oil, sprayed all my hair with a mix of water and silk amino acids, and put some conditioner through the previously relaxed hair. I think I've been a bit heavy handed; my hair is semi-damp. The stylist is going to think I've gone nuts...!

I'm finding it harder and harder to buy my beloved Motions CPR protein treatment. Sally's doesn't carry it anymore.
I looked online and saw it at Walmart. Went to my local Walmart and there it was! But, they had them pushed in the back with clearance stickers.
I picked up 3 today and will go back for more. Looks like I have to find a new light protein dc.

@MzSwift IKR! I've used this since 2007 or so. I wasn't even on LHCF yet. It's only been in recent months that Sally's hasn't had it. Then I'm relieved to find some at walmart, but in the clearance aisle.
I'm trying to be nice, but I'm tempted to go back tomorrow and buy all they have in stock.

@SuchaLady is that considered a light protein?
Hmmm I think it may be medium. I use it twice a month with no problem. Breakage is minimal.

Guess I should have learned more than one way to tie my hair up overnight during the past few weeks - my freshly relaxed hair is laughing at the idea of staying in two flat twists!

@MzSwift This post just made me go smell my bottle. I wouldve never called that banana but I can see (smell) it now

I relaxed last week after a 15 weeks stretch. I am very pleased with my length but two things went wrong,
I am under processed and I think I left the milky reconstructor on for too long. I' chelate and DC'ed a few days after the relaxer to correct the protein overload and would be co-washing next wash. I'm making sure my hair is well moisturizer in the meantime. I'm experiencing some breakage/shedding due to these but I'm on course to correct.
I'm not upset about being under processed but I'm thinking of putting my hair in box braids for a few weeks to avoid too much manipulation till my next relaxer when I go back to Phyto Index 2. I like the results better.
Tips on how to care for braids would be much appreciated. I've been trying to get more info on the Crown and Glory method but all the links to the creator's site are dead.

Does anyone else's hair stop shedding completely after a relaxer?

The last time that relaxed, I suffered major breakage because of relaxer runoff. I was devastated. This was only my third time self relaxing, and the first time that this happened. I have a large swatch that is about two inches long now.
I was devastated when I realized what happened. The first thing that I did was swear that I would not self relax again. After three weeks of living with this breakage, I'm debating that because I don't want to get a lot of hair cut off by a stylist. I may try doing it again myself this time, and have a stylist relax the next time when I have some hair growth. I have four weeks before my next relaxer.
In the meantime, I am using my growth oil and massaging regularly to try to jumpstart my growth. Fortunately, the breakage is in the center, and can be covered by my hair.

Mines does. I wonder why too...
Mine does too. For about a week after a touchup, I have absolutely no shedding.
Got results from my hair analysis and learned I may have to dump everything I'm using cause nothing is working my hair is very dry and lacking protein despite me doing protein treatments, dcing, moisturizing etc. 
Kinda weird cause my hair felt soft and moisturised too. Gotta see what she says on tuesday

Yep! Once I relax, my hair stops shedding completely for a while.

@Pennefeather, I am sorry this breakage happened. You can always say to the stylist that you understand your hair is damaged and broken but you do not want a haircut right now should you decide to salon relax.
