Relaxed Hair Thread

[sunnieb]

Hey y'all!

Mind if I ask which relaxer you're currently using?

Design Essentials Sensitive Scalp

 

[sunnieb]

Ok, which one of y'all keeps buying up all the Garnier Whole Blends Hydrating Conditioner Coconut Water & Vanilla Milk from my CVS?

Seems like ever since I raved about it on here, they can't keep any in stock! Imma stop raving about products.



Not really. Can you just leave me 2 bottles please????

 

[sunnieb]

@angelmilk ask your question in here. This is where most relaxed ladies hang out.

 

[angelmilk]

What do you all recommend to mix in a relaxer? I know a lot of people do oil but anything else? And thanks @sunnieb

Affirm Sensitive Scalp Relaxer (No-lye)

This is a great relaxer isn't it? I only wish I had used this from the beginning, my hair may have been in a different place right now.

I’ve added olaplex to my relaxer but I prefer my hair a lil straighter so I don’t mix anything in anymore

 

[Wenbev]

Relaxed on Monday after work 7 weeks post. Did ACV rinse before neutralizing for the third time and it’s a winner. I love it two fold; pulls out more of the chems for less shampooing necessary and bc of the luscious body the hair has after. Followed with aphogee 2min keratin reconstrutor and DCs.

You can add conditioner too.

Going in for a relaxer on Saturday after a while. I finally found out the source of my hair loss, which was fibroids. I'm going in for a procedure in about two weeks.

 

[LushLox]

@alundra best of luck to you, I hope you recover swiftly.

 

[Rozlewis]

Relaxing tomorrow after 17 weeks.

When I used to mix, I added Aussie Moist along with the EVOO. I like that it's full of cones and it also helps the relaxer to smell better.

**I've stopped mixing into my relaxer and just put it on my hair instead since it's easier for me to control how the perm processes.

It sure is...I love it too

Weekly trip to CVS and I was able to get my beloved Coconut Water conditioner.

There was only one bottle, so I got a bottle of the Garnier Whole Blends with ginger and honey to try. The ingredients sounded yummy! I'll report back when I use it next week.

 

[alundra]

Got a relaxer this morning - I'm still around full shoulder length after a trim. I really miss being a healthy BSL, so I need to work hard this year.

You and me both!

I can see my length creeping back every time I relax. It's just so slow! I want my hair back now, but know it's a waiting game.....

Hoping for full shoulder length by the end of this year so I can hit APL next year.

I bought Olaplex no 3 last weekend only to realize that I already have a no 3 bottle at home I need to be better organized.
I also need a hardcore protein treatment that is not Aphogee 2 step.

Maybe Nexxus? I like it better than the Aphogee.

I'll see if it's for sale in my city (Canada)
Thanks!

I made the switch from Aphogee 2-step to Joico K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor a few years ago and never looked back..

 

[LushLox]

I haven't used Aphogee 2 step for years. That kind of hard (and quite frankly unpleasant) protein isn't really necessary for me anymore thankfully.

Just as long as I keep on top of my protein treatments I'm fine.

I'm going to touch up tomorrow at 13 weeks, going to spend today prepping my hair.

My hair loves all things Nexxus!

In fact, think I'll dc with Nexxus Emergencee tonight. Haven't done that in a while. I also have the Emergencee shampoo that I need to use up.

Out of curiosity, what were you using prior?

Ive been looking for the Nexxus (Polymedic Emergency Reconstructor) this past weekend (I have a little bit of Dudley’s DRC 28 left that I’m trying to preserve) and couldn’t find it in the 5 BSS I went to. They all said the same thing - it’s been discontinued.

 

[sunnieb]

Tonight's hair routine:

Prepoo with EVCO
Clarified with Suave
Shampooed with Nexxus Emergencee
Dc'd with Nexxus Emergencee (added a little honey)
Air dry

I ran out of my Shea butter mix a few days ago. Need to mix another batch tomorrow.

Try Amazon.

It's so irritating when companies do this.

 

[sunnieb]

My hair is luxuriously soft this morning!

I'm always a little cautious when doing protein treatments because I think my hair will get too hard.

So, I know the combo I did in my previous post works to keep the softness I want while getting protein my hair needs.

What was wrong with Olive Oil?
I currently use Hawaiian Silky mild relaxer (lye). It was the only one I could find in mild in the beauty supply store when I started relaxing my hair.
My hair has been breaking, I suspect it's the demi parmanent dye I have been using but I can't rule out the relaxer either.
