Relaxed Hair Thread

So I'm 12 weeks post and my new growth is longer and thicker in some areas... Some new growth measures 3 inches, while others 1-2 inches. The direct middle, and surrounding areas, grow super fast! And the further out from the center you go, the shorter the new growth. Anywho... I flat ironed today and was very impressed with my results. My hair straightens pretty nicely 12 weeks post.

Had the flu this weekend I didn't get to deep condition or rollerset. I couldn't imagine trying to do my hair last weekend. Last night I just sprtized with water and some argan oil and put it in 4 flexi rods. Not my best hair day but it's working.
 
gave my hair a really great dc with my baby daddy Motions Moisture Plus. Don't know why I try other things cause this stuff get's my hair right back in shape. Got lazy though and airdried and flatironed, but EVERYBODY had been :love: with my hair. I'm full APL now. HAPPY, great hair day.

Are you air drying? what types of conditioners are you using? And do you ever prepoo or put your cw condish on dry hair?

I always airdry.

I use WEN Fig, HE Long Term Relationship/Touchably Smooth/Hydrolicious, and Garnier Triple Moisture.

I never prepoo.

I put my dc on dry hair sometimes, but cowashing is always on wet hair.
 
Going to CW twice a week first I'm going to use my suave almond n shea then probably my Aussie moist, I'm thinking do I need a protein condish to also cw with?
 
How are you ladies keeping your scalp clean? I can never get my scalp all the way clean. I part my hair in 4 sections and add the shampoo to my scalp like I'm oiling it in very very small sections. I massage it in and let it sit for about 10 mins then I wash out in the shower and co-wash. Maybe the fact I have oily skin has something to do with it?

I used to have this same problem with sulfate free shampoos & cleansing conditioners. I couldn't get my scalp clean. But now I use ORS creamy aloe shampoo to scalp only and it gets the job done and leaves my new growth happy! Win win situation.

Hello,

It depends on your average growth or whether or not you get a summer growth spurt. In 2 months, you should gain an inch on average only if you retained all of your length. This could me more like 1.5 - 2 inches in 2 months if you are getting a summer growth spurt along with perfect retention.

HTH!
 
I started my journey with a fresh salon relaxer and a photo moment, then 8.6 weeks later I self relaxed and forgot to take a pic. Tomorrow its gonna be 3 weeks from my last relaxer and my hair looks the same length as my salon pic. I havent had any breakage in 2 months so where is the length?

Im really getting frustrated. I didnt expect instant results but I have no length at all. The only thing I do have is healthier hair (no complaints there).

sckri23, the best comparison is done by taking a photo with wearing the same shirt and holding the same pose each and every time. I have a length check tee to track progress. Also, are you sure you're not getting breakage of any kind?
 
Any relaxed ladies on HAIRFINITY? Man the progress I'm seeing from ppl in these vitamins are remarkable & in such a short time! I'm scared to take them....just my luck my hair would do the opposite & fall straight out. Is it used for those who has trouble growing or anybody?
 
i trimmed a little at the beginning of the month and i compared the 2 pics side by side and the only part that grew was the part the stylist shaved. i had a little breakage before my relaxer because it was my first stretch.

Can we see pics pretty please? When I started my hhj I found that my hair did not initially get longer but it did get thicker and healthier. Over time my hair started getting longer. Hang in there. The length will come.

pre_medicalrulz I haven't taken hairfinity but the ingredients look good - like a good multivitamin. From what I have read from other users anyone that wants to grow their hair longer can use.
 
I went to doc today about my bald spot. She said she sees hairs growing back. yay! i started using growth oil the end of last week and I thought I felt that it wasnt smooth anymore.
