Relaxed Hair Thread

I used the Macadamia Professional light leave-in spray to moisturize. I may use Scurl on my roots since it’s very humid out. I really don’t care about frizz and puffiness.
 
I've been watching a UTuber Latoya Jones, she is a stylist but a complete advocate for stretching. She stretches for six months. She says she won't relax a client unless they have two inches of new growth. I'm sure there are probably stylists like that over here but where lol. I would love to go to a stylist who was THAT focused upon the health of your hair.

@Wenbev how long are you going to stretch for this time round?
 
I haven't checked how long its been since my last retouch but I am preparing to for the next. My hair is telling me it is time

I really want to get it done before my next wash because my hair is already straightened. Doing a wash before means dealing with detangles and having to reuse heat.
 
Ok ladies, so I used it. It worked really well. Made my hair feel strong. It’s like a gel, or thick clear liquid. As soon as you apply it, it starts working right away. Do not leave it on longer than the recommended time!!! You have to use Step 2. It will soften the hair, but you will still need to follow up with a moisturizing dc. The directions don’t call for it, but I’m not a fool!

I used my dc, then used my rinse out conditioner. My hair feels very soft. I dried my hair under my hooded dryer on cool.
 
I am glad you achieved the desired result @shortdub78 The 2 step was too strong for me. I prefer Emergencee and the Polydemic better for strong protein treatment.

On another note, I went and retouched yesterday. I can honestly say it is one of the horrible touch-ups I've done since I started self relaxing. I managed to burn my scalp and still came out with some under processed areas. I blame Mizani. I am going back to my faithful Lineage.

I have scabs. I still hurts.:cry3:

I was looking to buy this but those dinky tubes look so small. There must be what, three treatments in there?

I'm assuming it doesn't smell anything as bad as the original treatment.

@LushLox
I would treat it just like a high/hard protein treatment. I won’t use this again until Feb, or after my next relaxer. Somebody could experience protein overload doing too much with this product.

That's good to know, so really even though the tubes are small the product could probably last you the best part of a year. Personally I only need a strong protein every 4 months or so, if that.

Will add this to the list.

Yes! It’s like a liquid/gel and the moisturizer is more like a creamy conditioner, but a dime, or quarter size should be enough and really worked into the hair. Work it into the hair, and not coat.
 
So glad I went back to relaxers. I don't regret going natural, I learn sooo much info. But now my hair is thriving. Easy wash days, easy detangling, with the right combo of protein and moisture my hair stays supple for days. My relaxed hair is so much less picky than my natural hair.
Anyhoodle, I flatiron my hair for the first time in about 7 years. People were in awe. I never really considered my hair long because in its natural state and air dried state it doesn't seem like much. But I blow dried and flat ironed with Biosilk and my hair came a little past bra strap length. I was so long and flowy . Biosilk is a keeper, I've never had my hair so pin straight with such airy body. Everywhere I went people were staring at me. It wasn't just the length but the health of it too. But thanks to my horror natural hair salon experience back in April I'm still suffering from a load of split ends that won't let me be great. Stupid me didn't take any pics though but my friend took a picture. I'll see if she can send it to me.

Aww. I dunno if it's too late but ACV really helps me with any burns. I usually add ACV as a step in my neutralizing or at the end of the process after DCing. Maybe you can try it to help soothe your burns? It may still work a few days after the process. I've heard of ppl also using AVJ to help soothe, kinda like after sunburn.

At least now you know to stick with your brand.
