JeterCrazed I bought the Olive Oil infused shampoo and conditioner and it dried out my hair. It was so gradual I didn't know realize it until was too late. :cry:

What do you mean "too late"? What did you do? :mad:

That's a huge typo. Ignore the word know.... But anyway I continued to use it and didn't realize it was damaging my hair. I straightened it and that's when I had realized the damage had been done. sigh.... JeterCrazed

You didn't cut, did you?
 
This is hilarious! The thread where they are oohing and awwwwing over FLOTUS hair thinking its natural when it's relaxed! I mean it's thick, healthy & shiny & only natural hair can be like that (I'm being facetious of course!)

Don't get me wrong I love ALL HEALTHY HAIR!

I get inboxed on FB all the time about what product I use for my natural hair or asking me if I'm natural? LOL! It's unbelievable to some that relaxed hair can be thick, long & healthy. I respond back that I'm relaxed & they don't reply back ever! LOL!

Just a little Sunday morning preaching! Let the church say AMEN!
 
Is she relaxed or natural @bebezazueta - I really don't know but then again, it's not that important to me but since it's being discussed elsewhere, I'm curious now..... :look:
 
Thank you @Angelinhell The shampoo was basically drying and the conditioner was not replenishing the moisture stripped from my hair. It all happened so slowly I did not realize it until a random flat iron job I decided to do. Being that I was not freshly relaxed I attributed the few broken hairs to being a few weeks deep into a stretch. :ohwell: Divachyk suggested Kenra and so far so good. My hair felt like silk yesterday. I will get it back. :yep:

@SuchaLady So sorry this happened to you, hope your hair recovers:hug2:. I would have never thought something as simple as shampoo could damage your hair enough to a point where it had to be cut:sad:

SuchaLady, glad Kenra is working for you. I love Kenra and use it every time my hair misbehaves. I could use it 100% of the time without any issues but I like trying other products. I always keep a bottle of Kenra around though. I'm sorry you experienced a setback. Is it safe to say the flat iron job didn't cause any issues?
 
SuchaLady
i am sorry for your setback. i know all to well how you feel. but it will get better! my hair is starting to turn around. it took a few months to get it back on track. i had to do a series of trims too. (sucks butt crack!)
 
Yes I love it divachyk! I was going to use it at least once more before I told you about it but my hair felt so soft! It was as if it was some silk and not hair! Lol. I doubt it was the flat iron job. I air dried before and used a lower than normal setting. :ohwell:


Thank you shortdub78 It's like I have my length still but it's not in it's best condition. It's hard to explain. I got it trimmed February so I may do another one next month or so. It's crazy how something creeped up on me. Apparently it's not unheard of because my stylist knew exactly what I meant when I described how it happened.
 
This is my hair after my trim in February. :/ Excuse the back fat and ill fitting bra. It was the weekend. :look:

SuchaLady - Nice! :grin:

I wore a pony today and the very tippy end was at BSL!!!! Yay me!!

I was supposed to trim tonight, but I'll wait until Saturday. I'm going to let my pony be GREAT for another few days! :yep:
 
So I'm fully on the self-relaxing train...and my hair is pleasing the heck outta me. I'm STILL not BSL yet...but I actually am starting to feel like I have long hair nevertheless. And although some on the board may disagree...it doesn't matter! I'm happy as a lark and that's what counts! Loving my relaxed hair!!!
 
My hair is so stankin soft and moisturized today :lick: Washed with a gentle sulfate 'poo followed by Aubrey GBP and Vanilla Silk Dream - the results are amazing, will def. do again :yep:

@shortdub78 I'm not low porosity but I saw your post in that thread about pre-pooing not working for you and I agree. Maybe because I use 'cone based serums but pre-pooing for hours before a wash hasn't made a difference in conditioning for me. Now I just concentrate on using the best quality shampoos and conditioners, follow the directions in the shower, and I've been getting great results. All the extra preparation and DC'ing hasn't been worth it ..
