Relaxed Hair Thread

Do you ladies ever get random spurts of elevate 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.

I feel like I shed way more hair than I should. When I'm cowashing in the shower I'm suprised I'm not bald. I have some garlic supplements that I'm waiting for in the mail so I hope that'll help. Maybe your hair isn't liking a product for some reason? That happened to me when I tried Silk Elements Lye relaxer from Sally's. I shed like a roadkill possum. I went right back to Mizani...that's what I got for trying to save a few dollars.
 
divachyk - Yes! Think I'll rock one of those massive ones. You know the ones we do that seem to take over our whole head? :lol:

I'll see if I can still do it. I haven't done a "real" bun all year! :look:

When the weather/seasons change, most notice increased shedding.
 
I was going to stretch for a while, but it's been 16 weeks and I'm ready for a relaxer :look:. I've gone to the salon for my last 2, but I'll probably just do it myself or have my mom apply it.

The kind the stylist used is only available for professionals.

hmm i never really thought about if a new product might be a cause, since nothing had any glaring adverse effects on the feeling of my hair. but i guess that is separate than how my scalp might like something. I started keeping track of what i do on my wash days on my ipod's calendar, so i'll probably go back and look at entries.

Solitude I use Mizani butterblends lye
 
divachyk - lovely as usual!

My bun today is much better than yesterday! I'm getting the itch to bun all week! :look:

I like not having to worry about catching my hair on something or having to comb it.

sunnieb, your bun is lovely also! It's definitely bunning season now that it will be cooling off. Mornings here are cool but it warms up nicely during the day so we're not yet at the point of cool from sun up to sun down.

loveafterwar, I'm salon relaxed (sorry).
 
Solitude I use mizani bb regular but I'm fiding that it seems to be leaving me underprocessed more often than not. Once I finish this tub I plan to try out the super if it's available.
 
Hey Nix08 I tried your suggestion of flat ironing my hair before applying Mizani BB, I had better results than my previous experience but not good enough to use it again. Oh well.
 
Ya Lissa0821 I'm conflicted myself...I'm losing the patience to flat iron my roots...I think I need something stronger....it's like the healthier my hair gets the more resistant it's becoming.

Nix08 you took the words right out of my mouth!!!!!! I feel the exact same way. I am so glad to find out I am not the only one that is experiencing this. You have made my day!!!!!
 
Made my hair appointment for friday at noon. I can't wait. I think i lost way too much hair after my wash this week. I'm 11 wks but I really can't go any longerI think I have an inch on new growth. That's exciting.
 
My hair is doing so good thanks to my hours upon hours of readings and research. My current reggie seems to be working well and I am pleased
 
I'm living in London. As the London ladies will testify... It's cold already! *Shiver*

Bunning/Hiding season is already upon us.
This is my curls for today... It may be the last day for it.

Im sick and I have been debating on washing my hair. Usually I could wait till im feeling better but I moisturized and sealed right before I got sick. The product build up is really annoying me. I think ima just water wash my hair till I feel better.

Just wait until you feel better...when I'm tired/sick it's best for me to leave my hair alone.
