I'm glad I'm not the only one. After 5 weeks my hair looks like it hasn't been done in months. LOL!

Gurl, my hair looks rough around the edges. I looked at the other day and went WTH? I was so tempted to texlax

I'll have to try that. I've been using Organix Coconut Milk Shampoo and I just can't with this dirty scalp anymore.

I had to have someone come to my house to teach me cornrowing. She did two braids on my dd's hair then I practiced. It took about 45 minutes but I got it. Then I learned how to add extensions from YouTube. I learned to French braid from their videos too. Its making protective styling so much easier for me.

You know what me too. Do you think it's all the sweating from exercise?

The organix was the one of the ones I used to use. Let me know how it goes.

Thank you!
I'm having trouble finding a reputable salon for you. Didn't realize that all I know are naturals and self-relaxers! Looks like we were all fed up with our salons! 
Imma keep looking! There are so many salons here, somebody gotta know somebody!Ms. Tiki - I'll be 5 weeks post tomorrow and I barely have any newgrowth!
This is unusual for me! I blame the WEN!! It's keeping my newgrowth laid. Yeah, that's it!

All jokes aside, that could be it b/c I know it calms my new growth. I've just been trying to hold on to the last bit I have b/c I can't afford to get more right now.

For real???
I knew WEN was good, but if it works THIS good, Imma suck it up and dump my cheapie condish and become a full time WEN head!
I was using it as a treat for my birthday, but I just kept cowashing with it. It's so addictive! Ugh! Well, now I see why it cost so dang much. It works.

See! We're no help!
I mean I literally don't know anyone who goes to a salon! Now, 5 years ago it was a totally different story.

sunnieb Oh yeah, it's that serious. I can tell the difference b/t Wen on other. When I say it tamed my new growth, it tamed my new growth. I couldn't make it through my 16+ week stretches without it. That's why I'm dying that I don't have more. Wish some would show up next week as a bday gift but that's wishful thinking.
Thanks @sunnieb @Supergirl for responding!
A kind member PM'd me about a Dallas salon and I'm going to stop by for a consultation, I'll let y'all know how it goes
.
My observation of Dallas black hairstyles so far is an equal distribution of long weaves, natural hairstyles, and SL or shorter relaxed hair. I have seen some women with healthy looking long relaxed hair as well but in small numbers compared to the other groups. I haven't been here long so I'm sure my observations may change.

My mom is texlaxed but I took a flat iron to her texture and nicely flat ironed it.

Does anyone not use protein reconstructers? I have protein a few conditioners: AO GPB, Roux Mendex, Megatek, KeraPro but no real reconstructors do I need one or will regular protein conditioners have the same affect? TIA

Not sure if you NEED one but I use it at least once a month. I also have conditioners with protein in it as well.

i really like how Mizani Milk Bath hair cleanser worked yesterday. my hair is a bit underprocessed, so it really helped to moisturize and smooth my hair. i also the the Mizani MoisturFusion conditioner too. i am going to purchase the bigger bottles this coming week.
i tee-shirt dried my hair and finger detangled. once my hair was 90% dry, i used the comb to finish detangling. i am going to flat iron my hair today.

That is funny because I'm also preping my hair for bun wearing all week. Putting the wigs away this week.

Do you ladies ever get random spurts of elevated shedding? I usually shed like a dog but i feel like when the summer started it went up a few notches. Now my ponytail feels smaller than i remember. And my hair isn't responding to anything i'm doing - tea rinses, vitamins. I'm trying to wait it out but i feel like i won't have any hair left.
