How is it? Does it process bone straight or leave a great deal of texture? How long have you been using it?

I always process bone straight for the full 20 minutes. Never tried leaving texture, but would probably be good as texturizer if used for shorter time.

I never burn and my hair is always bouncy afterwards. I've been using this for about 8 years now since my old stylist switched to it. My hair didn't seem so "processed".

If this goes off the market, I'll be forced to go natural. Yeah, it's THAT serious! :lol:

What relaxers are y'all currently using? Please share!

Ive been using Soft & Beautiful Just For Me texture softener for all 3 years of my HHJ and I love it. I pour the entire 4 oz of sunflower oil into the relaxer cream. But I think any relaxer will give texturized results if I add this much oil.

ETA: I checked and its not 4oz of oil its 1 oz. the instructions say to only pour in half and use the other to coat the hair strands. But I just coat mine with protein conditioner.

So mad, there's a photo making the rounds of hair groups on Facebook that shows a woman with what is apparently natural hair and on the mirror is the same woman with relaxed hair or weave (straight hair in any case) with a NOOSE around her neck, wtf SMH
 
Have any of you experienced a situation where there's a patch of hair that is SUPER resistant to being relaxed? Like, I have a small area on the left hand nape of my head that barely processes when I relax. It wasn't a big deal at first, but when the rest of my hair is smooth and laid and that small patch is still coarse and curly regardless of smoothing in during the relaxer process, it's a pain.

I have a patch like that, on the crown to the right. Extremely resistant to relaxers, I usually have to leave the relaxer there for longer.My mom says it's always been like this and the hair on that patch was always shorter than the rest and that I inherited it from my aunt.

Alter Ego Hot Oil Treatment w/ Garlic
I'm hoping for good things from this product. My shedding is horrendous & noticeable.

What a coincidence! My cousin is having shedding after a keratin treatment and yesterday I gave her the last of my AE garlic mask jar. I want to buy her a new one. I also gave her my castor oil.
 
I texlaxed today. I'm the same length I was in April. Kinda bummed :(

I'm still in MBL-land. Fortunately, Fall is when I get my growth spurt. I'm hoping to get back on the wagon. I'm planning to go back to 90% PSing to maximize my retention. grrr
 
Ladies, need a favor. I try not to mix forum and blog but Reniece (yes, the awesome Reniece) visits my blog here and there. Today she asked a question of relaxed ladies and I'd love it if you could go over to my blog and reply to her if you're interested. A snippet of her question: Hi everyone! I have some questions. I would like to know of some of the challenges that any of you ladies deal with regarding home hair care with relaxed hair..... her question is in the comments section of my blog post -->here.
 
Sally's thought it would be a good idea to discontinue my GVP version of Joico Kpak:rolleyes: I need to do a protein treatment so I guess I will do what I never do anymore. Experiment with new products :lol:

I hate when I go into Sally's the employees automatically direct me to their small *** line of ethnic products. Excuse me but I'm in here for the polish! Get lost!
 
I really need to wash my hair my scalp is itching bad. I think i'll prepoo with some coconut oil and then do my normal wash.
 
I've been so busy working that my hair has been up in a clip for about 10 days. Since I'm finally off I'm giving it a spa treatment. Spritz with water for detangleing and removing shed hair. Cassia treatment for a hour, shampoo and deep condition with joico moisture balm for another hour. I might flat iron it later too
