Relaxed Hair Thread

I am a self-proclaimed insomniac. Actually take melatonin to force self to sleep. But, when I sleep, I sleep. I can sleep until noon if I don't set the alarm. :look: sunnieb

I know this all too well. I literally have to force myself to get up each morning. I really wish I could find a graveyard shift job. :yep:

Now I don't know how I missed thread, but I'm glad I found it.

I'm 4 weeks post texlaxed and I'm coming off a setback with breakage at the crown. I was going to cut back to SL but decided to wait until after summer because I'll be braided up for 8 week from June to August.

Now going back to read the whole thread.
 
Wearing my around the house bun held with 2 Good Day Hair pins. Well, my almost 13 weeks post hair is havin' none of that!

My hair literally pushed the pins out like they weren't there! :lol: I was just sitting here and felt the pins start to move. Gotta love relaxer stretching! :drunk:
 
It's rare that I compliment my hair as it tends to act a fool often. Today I truly enjoyed my hair session -- clarified, protein treated, detangled with V05*, then DC with steam. My hair was so nicely detangled that rollersetting was a breeze -- that's never the case.

*Detangling pre-DC is a new step as I usually detangle post-DC after applying my LIs. Often times I struggle to detangle my hair which makes rollersetting very hard and a drag. I want to rollerset more so I've been looking for ways to improve my detangling sessions. Detangling pre-DC worked great today. Keep in mind I'm only 1 week post so this may be a fluke. I will keep including this step until I figure out if it's a keep or not keep when deep into a stretch.

i am dc'ing my hair now. going to cowash and airdry. i am 5 weeks post i think and new growth is starting to act funny. i wanna stretch until May 12, so hopefully cowashing will help. i am going to try HE Tousle Me Softly.
 
Yep I'm Dcing too right now. Too tired yesterday to do nada to ma hair.
I think I've come to the conclusion that the chicoro prepoo isn't for me.
I tried Aussie moist and LTR as co wash...meeh. my hair didn't respond to both at all.
 
mamaore - Aussie Moist caused my hair to tangle and matt up something fierce when I tried to cowash with it. I only used it once and I paid the price by loosing a ball of hair :nono:.

I tried to give it away, but none of my family would take it after I told them what it did to my hair! :lol:
 
OK, I finally rinsed out my dc and I'm airdrying now. I love the way Nexxus Humectress makes my hair feel!

I didn't even have to use my Mane n' Tail Detangler. I think being lazy worked to my advantage. If I can swing it, I'll try to leave my dc's on for 2 hours for the remainder of this relaxer stretch. My hair likes it. :yep:
 
I didn't want to relax my hair until June at 6 mths post but I am so tempted. At the same time, I like seeing my new growth as it keeps increasing.
Anyway, DC with ORS Hair Mayo and cowashed with Mane and Tail deep moisturizing con.
Mane and Tail is a new addition that is very helpful especially during stretches.

NYAmicas - how many weeks post relaxer are you?
Click to expand...

About 6 weeks or more. Im not sure because I overprocessed the last time which was about a month ago and possibly overprocessed before that in February. I remember it seemed like the Motions relaxer did nothing at all in February:nono:.

I really just want to know who else is dealing with NG so thick that it makes it hard to put into a ponytail because my hair is so much to gather together. Im going to straighten it today because it's the only way I can manage it right now and possibly relax in another 2 weeks. My twistouts and bantu knots will look cute for one day but my hair is already thick and looks wiggy with the curls just sitting on top of the NG plus the NG tangles up.

Cant wait until it gets to your length sunnieb
 
^^^Sorry you're dealing with this. I remember reading about this problem. Let me bump some threads for you to check out. I'm sure your not the only one having this issue.
 
Yay.. I love the feeling of perfectly moisturized hair the morning after.....

Nailed down my staples for my moisturizing DC's, daily moisturizer, sealing oil...

Also nailed my washing routine, and frequency...

Overall, a great hair week.
 
mamaore - Aussie Moist is very popular around here. That's why I tried it. However, my hair just did not take to it at all. I ended up throwing that practically full purple bottle in the trash.
 
I am 4 weeks post today, just DCed with KeraCare Creme Humecto and now airdrying with my hair cornrowed before bed. My hair feels so good and so soft.
 
I'm wondering the same thing....WHERE ARE ALL THE RELAXED LADIES AT? I need help. I am trying to keep the heat out of my hair but these nappy roots are getting DRYYYYYYY!

I need help with keeping the moisture, products, tools, etc.

And how often are my successful Ladies blowdrying and flat ironing your hair?

ChoColette
 
Do you blow dry? Flat iron? How often? Relax how often? What do you use for moisture? OOOOOmg I'm a mess....I have a TON of questions! Sorry. If your hair didn't look so nice and healthy I wouldn't be asking. (((smile))) Keep up the good work!
