I have been on LHCF too long, cause I could not bring myself to relax my hair at 5 weeks. I colored with with Clariol Natural Instincts and will to continue to do a light blow dry each week until I am ready to relax again.

shortdub78 - how many weeks post are you? You can do it as long as your hair isn't giving you any problems.
Lissa0821 - girrrrllll, don't make me start a relaxed intervention thread and tag you in it!
5 weeks is just way to soon. 8 weeks should be your bare bones minimum if at all possible. I understand your frustration. Before LHCF, I relaxed every 4 weeks.
Hang in there and post any questions you have. We'll help you!

sunnieb.... Trust me I know, I couldn't bring myself to do it. So I just covered my grey hairs, they were getting out of hand. So far so good.

Oh thank goodness @Lissa0821 I was reading this on my phone and was thinking 5 weeks WHAT? Then I saw myself mentioned and I'm thinking NO! NO! NO! flat iron the roots yes
If you don't already - cowashing will help you get along for at least 3 more weeks...
Nix08.... Yeah, I had to talk myself off the ledge, I mean put the relaxer tub away. My birthday is in three weeks so I will hold out until that time.

I had never heard of one of those, so I googled it and there is a difference of opinion:scratchch.
Some think that something on the ingredients is a mild surfactant that cleanses the hair.
Other people say that it was a confusing term used by companies, and that all that it means is a light conditioner to be used in conjuction with a clarifying shampoo so the hair gets conditioning after being stripped by the shampoo but this type of conditioners do not leave a lot of buildup
. That a clarifying conditioner does not clarify.

Funny how a week after every relaxer my hair tells me that I need a protein treatment. Never fails.

My hair always needs protein. I've been protein overloaded once and I DC'd with Humecto and was all better.

i went to the salon last friday to get a relaxer at the last minute. i haven't been to the salon in almost a year. the stylist was nice, but still had some learning to do when it came to applying chemical services. there was another stylist there that helped her out and everything came out fine.
she asked if i wanted a trim. i told her no, i just had one. she said my hair was healthy and my ends looked fine. she stated most people just get one with their touchups. they kept talking about how long my hair was. i don't see it. maybe in a few months, i'll feel differently. my hair came out bone straight. i haven't had my hair this straight since last year. i didn't burn at all. i liked the way she detangled my hair and she did a nice flat ironing job. i didn't care for the style though. i currently like my part in the middle. i don't do side parts. it looks like everyone else. plus i like bigger, fuller hair. my color looks to be completely gone, but i won't color again until the holidays or wait until the spring.
i feel like washing/dc'ing my hair today, but i don't know if i will have the time.
it was nice to have someone else do my hair. i think i will go to the salon once a month or to get my touch ups. but i will never let someone trim my hair. i will handle that on my own.

@shortdub78, I like getting my salon TUs and I even let my stylist trim. Thankfully I'm in trusting hands right now. I haven't always had it this good so I'm enjoying this moment while it lasts. Congrats on enjoying your visit.

Just brought some Mizani Rose H2O conditioning hairdress and I'm interested in knowing if anyone else uses it and what you think of it. I've seen some very mixed reviews about it, is it really heavy? Will it be good to use during my stretch when I'm doing more protective styles? Any thoughts would be helpful

Ok I have a question. Do you ladies who are many weeks post find their hair really dry? I ask because my hair all of a sudden has become real dry and is knotting a touch. I took my phony pony off tonight in my normal strip tease and my hair inside was soo dry and crispy. I don't use any type of heat at all. I am now dcing with Natures Gate Aloe conditioner. TIA.

GoddessMaker - absolutely! I'm currently 13 weeks post. That's why I cowash every other day and moisturize in sections on the days I don't.
The dc you're doing should help, just put some moisturizer on while your hair is still damp.

I use too all the time. Now I can go up to 8 months post w/ super soooooft NG. It was when I cut sugary drinks out my life & stuck to water all the time when I started noticing the difference in my NG.

Thank you ladies. I don't really drink sugary drinks at all. Maybe I just need to drink more water. That's all I drink throughout the day.
