Relaxed Hair Thread

I am officially 12 weeks post today and my hair still feels soft and wonderful, I guess it's all the deep conditioning (1 weekly protein and 2 moisture) I'm doing that's helping it behave so well. I have been keeping my hair well moisturized and sealed between washes also - so my stretching continues...
 
Hi ladies:

Does anyone know of a product that creates great curl definition for relaxed hair? I'm looking for a product that I can put on my hair after rinising out my conditioner that will create a wavy or spiral curl definition.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! :)

:perplexed Relaxed hair is chemically straightened, not mechanically, therefore you cannot define a curl in it wherein there exist none.

In other words, you cannot define a curl in chemically straightened hair - there are no curls to define - sorry!

You can however define texturized, mildly texlaxed hair and most natural kinky type hair. Relaxed hair will either have to be rollerset one way or another or mechanically curled with some type of hot-tool.

To my knowledge there are no conditioners or creams that can affect relaxed hair this way and cause it to have defined curls.

You should just try a twist out or braid out with perm rods on the ends. I do them sometimes and they come out really well. But yeah you cant really put anything on relaxed hair to make it curl up or get wavy but I do use a little bit of the shescentit gel to hold the look longer
 
Just coming in to say that I really am in love with my relaxed hair:look: I have a wedding to go to at the end of April...I think I'll flat iron for the first time in forever for it:yep: I'm currently 7 weeks post - I'm going to try and stretch till sometime in April ...don't know how feasible that is though:ohwell:
 
Nix08 I'm 7 weeks post too! :grin: How long are you planning to go?

I'm shooting for 15 weeks again.

ETA: whoops! I see you are trying to go til April. My goal date is April 29. Let's do this!!!

ok as of now im 12 wks post this is my longest stretch eveeer lol i tried to straighten my hair yesterday and it was a hot *** mess so im just bunning it up this whole week until i get my relaxer friday
but last week i did a braidout for the first time in about 1yr and it looked extremley good and it was HUGE i was getting compliments left and right. so i think from now on past 9-10weeks post im going to do braidouts but from 1-8wks post im going to do rollersets
 
I had posted yesterday that I was 12 weeks post, well I just checked my calender and I am actually 13 weeks and 1 day post my last texlaxer. My hair is still behaving so well this deep into my stretch - go figure:look:!
 
not good. hair is a hot mess right now. deciding if i should go to the salon this weekend, if i can't get it in order on my own. i have never grown my hair out this long on my own. this is becoming so challenging.

I saw your posts about your setback on another thread and I really feel your pain. If I were you, I would go to a salon and get professional help. Hope you get through this soon.

sunnieb...how do you do a sloppy bun? It looks really nice!

Loving - thank you! :)

This is my go to lazy bun. I put my hair in a loose ponytail using a black silk scrunchi. Then I fan my hair out and swirl it into a bun. Secure the bun with 3-4 good day hair pins and place a black bun net over it to hold it in place all day.

Nothing fancy at all!

Cowashed with HE LTR last night and airdried for an hour, then put in two pigtail braids. Results are nice waves for the day:

Hi! I did this look using John Frieda Dream Curls Perfecting Curls spray. After washing and DC I applied my usual leave in (Silicon Mix leave in) sprayed liberally with J.Frieda spray and scrunched my hair from the bottom up,then put my hair in a net, taking care that the bottom of my hair was kind of laying on the bottom of the net (it's one of those big hair nets for rollers).I then sat under my Pibbs for 15- 30 mins. Curls lasted a lot, although by 3rd day I pinned it up into an updo with the curls on top. I also have Dove curl & sculpt defining mousse which I've also used with good results.

Btw: I'm not textlaxed.

danysedai In the post above you said that you are not texlaxed, so does that mean you relax bone straight? I am relaxed bone straight and would like to try do to wash n go's. TIA.
 
Wow I'm over 16 weeks post and not having any problems at all. I'm colouring tomorrow so I won't relax for at least 6 weeks afterwards.

@Pp I stand by Aphogee 2 step
 
I am 14 weeks post! Hanging on in there for my stretch. Call myself going to relax only twice a year once at beginning of May around my birthday and once around the holidays. Trying to see of I can accomplish some thicker looking hair. I do know one thing my edges have no problem at all with the thickness cause my goodness it's about to be a TWA around my head!! Lol. I will see how all this stretching goes once summer hits :-)
