Relaxed Hair Thread

Ok So last week my wash day was a disaster a tangled knotted mess.
I was so nervous and worried I ordered 3 new seamless comb.
I am 10 Weeks post so I am dealing with 2 textures.
This week I was not going to have an episode like last week so after I applied my prepoo,I carefully detangled.
I have not really followed this step tbh.....I know I know due to the fact when I started my hair wasn't much so it was never a problem.
This week though I had the best wash day all.because I detangled and took my time to wash my hair that was another downfall of mine
I am still a work in progress but when you get that moment of clarity it's the best
I had to take a pic ,my hair felt so nice n bouncy
Sorry about the placement of my photo

I will be 12 weeks post on the 13th. I have the same situation with the textures but instead of two textures, there are three for me because I texlaxed for the first time in July. I now have between 1 & 2 inches of Africa new growth connected to about 3 inches of texlaxed hair connected to 6 or 7 inches of previously relaxed to close to bone straight hair...in other words, I am a hot mess on wash day...and in some cases the rest of the week too! I read something on this forum about PC which was an old staple of mine and started adding that to my wash day regi...all I can say is Wow. What a difference!
 
Excuse me cattypuss, I'm a little slow.
What is PC? Porosity ctrl
If it is I use it every wash day,but for some reason I forgot last week.
Hmmmm maybe tht was another factor to the reason why it was so blah. I didn't forget this step lastnight tho

Yes, it might have been you that reminded me of it a week or so ago. I've purchased a dozen or so products since I've joined but I had PC in my bathroom from way back--I just only used it at touch up time.
 
Update: I need to post pictures of my hair but I'm a bit lazy and not at all happy with my results especially after a 2 year 8 month stretch. Since removing my braids in July, I've relaxed it and have been moisturizing and sealing every day. I'm gathering pictures together to post so it might just be worth the wait but in the meantime I need to find a style that would camouflage my thinning edges. After such a long stretch my hair has began to show its age.
 
Omg I thought s-curl didnt work for my hair but now when I put water in it and tried to use it as a daily spray, it wanna be extra moisturizing to my hair and my ng. Im happy but I wish I had known that before, it coulda really helped me save conditioner on my dry hair days. I was cowashing and dcing 3 days in a row cause my spray was gone and my moisturizer caused instant heavy hair.

I co washed for the first time today. I cant tell if it was a hit or not because I also used bottled water for the first time. Anyway, my hair feels so good. My question is how often do you relaxed ladies co wash? Btw, I used HE HH.

Lmao!! Is WEN really that good?? U make me wanna buy it. If I had to buy JUST ONE of their products, what should I buy. I'm 4B, relaxed and I do long stretches.
 
i feel like switching to no lye relaxer. i am starting to want more of bone straight hair. i think it would help in being able to comb through my hair better. since i have been relaxing my own hair for a year now, i can never just run a comb through my hair. plus i want my straightness to last a little longer.

if i do, i wonder should i stick to Mizani or ORS Olive Oil no lye? i really thought about changing my relaxer to Linange Shea Butter, but if that is just going to leave a lot of texture, i don't know.

I just tried co washing for the first time last nite and done fell in love lol. I see a lot of ladies talk about co washing more when stretching which I plan to co wash again tomorrow nite with a good long dc. But I think after my relaxer I can go to co washing once weekly. Let's see how it works.
 
i think i'm going to do it.. i'm going to relax my hair BY MYSELF.... MUST IGNORE ALL THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS I HAVE ABOUT IT. :lala:

Right now, I cowash weekly - every Wednesday. And I shampoo /DC weekly - every Saturday. My hair stays moist and soft. It doesn't get a chance to get overly dry. Cowashing is definitely a keeper here ♥

You know what?? That doesn't sound so bad to co wash on Wednesdays and wash on Saturdays. I think that's a pretty simple schedule. I may try that one week to see how it works for me. Do u DC after your co washing??? Or do you just apply your moisturizer and seal??
 
I made a regimen for winter. Do I need to add anything or take something out.

Winter regimen

Cowash every wenesday

Shampoo every saturday

Oil scalp every monday and thursday

Moisturize problem ng with olive creme hairdress before daily oils

Spray hair every morning with soft and shiny

Spray hair every night with s-curl and seal with ab herbal oil

Deep condition after every wash

Blow dry no flatiron or flatiron every 2 weeks after wash

Stretch hair for length checks

I was at Big Lots today, they had a ton of HE Long Term Relationship. I picked up one because I heard so much about it here and on YouTube. If I like it I'll pick up a few more.
