Now that I'm on the back half of my relaxer stretch, i think I'll full-head baggy 2x a week also. Really need to keep my moisture level up as the weather gets colder.

I'm with you on this. I'm noticing increased breakage when my hair is dry. So more baggying and more moisturizing is definintely in order for me. Time sure flies....how many weeks post are we? I don't even remember - all I know is my next and last 2012 relaxer is when I get back from our 7-day cruise in december. Shooting for December 22nd, right before Christmas. My hair better give me a gooooddd Christmas gift or else its ON! :lachen:

Right now I'm baggying 4times per week as part of the NJOY'S HAIR CONCOTION challenge. But normally, I tend to baggy 2 -3 times per week anyways. Sometimes its with coconut oil, or sometimes its with Scurl, or sometimes its with Giovanni Direct Leave In. Just depends on what the hair needs. But the next morning's result is always the same: soft moist/slightly dampened hair that needs nothing more that to be sealed...mmmmm:lick:
 
baddison - yeppers, time is flying! Seems like just yesterday we were freshly relaxed and now we're in week 8 (?).

I've been thinking of baggying again because I already know that round about December 17th, I'll be cussing you out for challenging me to go so long! :). Baggying will help keep my newgrowth happy.

My hair has been ugly all week. I trimmed 2 days in a row, dced alot, and m&s alot. I finally tried dcing again but this time with the olive cholesterol and now my hair is pretty again. I guess I just needed protien.

I pour on my tea rinse massage it in for 5 mins then add my DC on top for hours I also use heat for at least 45 mins. My hair is always soft with little to no shed hairs
 
So I've stopped using ACV. It's been about 2 or 3 weeks (not sure) and my hair is appearing darker again. The relaxed ends aren't jet black like my new growth but it's not as brown as it was earlier.

Somebody mentioned low porosity. How can that be solved with Roux? What products do I buy and how do I use them?

KhandiB, tea and coffee are great for minimizing shedding. I personally haven't found them to help my shedding because those marketed for that make my hair hard (black tea and black coffee as an example). There are some teas that soften the hair, thus I use those -- marshmallow root and slippery elm. I don't coffee rinse at all. I also use Claudie's tea spritz.

I tea rinse a number of ways:
Daily
Spritz as a daily hydrater before applying moisturizer

DC
Drench hair with tea and then layer DC on top

Cowash
Drench hair with tea, slather on oil (oil rinsing) then cowash it out
 
I surprised how much I like the HE Long Term Relationship leave-in (old formula). I didn't have high expectations, just bought it cause I'd heard hairboard/YouTube people rave about it. It definitely makes a difference as a finisher, extra silkiness - even when mixed with another moisturizer. It also makes my ends feel nice.
 
I think I did a corrective relaxer in August but shoot, I got a lot of new growth.

I am debating on braiding my hair for two months to give it a little break. Plus I haven't had braids in years... BUT WHAT IF I MISS MY HAIR??!?!?!?!

Hi,
If you don't mind sharing where did you find the HE LTR leave-in with the old formula? I've been looking and can't find it anywhere.. :-( in fact I can barely find the new one version too in stores. Thanks in advance!

I just brought this product last week (new formula, same ingredients) and I absolutely loved the silkiness it gave my hair. I used on wet and dry hair and still loved the results. I alternate this leave in with Cantu Shea Butter leave in repair cream depending on what I feel my hair may need.

Used my cholesterol again today. I have seen it everywhere and I didnt know it was so good for my hair until now. Im definitely adding cholesterol to my list of products.

shynewbie I got it at Big Lots, but if the new one works great too you can probably buy it online at Target or Walmart if you can't find it locally.

I need to try it on wet hair, great idea...might be good for air drying.

Hollywood beauty olive cream works wonders on ng.

sckri23, how do you get the cream on your ng only without it sitting on your scalp. Do you part and apply, or do you just "smush" it in?? I really don't like products to build up on my scalp, so I've been carefully spraying my Scurl/Jojoba Oil mix on my new growth.

I use my fingers so I wont use too much . It spreads really well and its really moisturizing so I dont even use alot.

Think like eye cream for hair. You touch the eye cream with your fingers then dot, dot, dot around your eye. I dot it on my ng then massage it in.

I need a daily style to wear. I prefer wearing my hair out rather than up. My hair is sl and I've been wearing it in a wrap, but I don't like how it looks right now.

I workout daily so a fluffy rollerset will be dead in a day.

Ideas?

When I was in cheerleading our competition style was 2 french braids (to be like the white schools I guess) so what I and some other girls did for school was wear our hair in that braid out

My hair is was feeling super dry and crispy today so I heat up my pre poo and applied it to my scalp and drenched my hair in it. I put on a plastic cap and three scarves and I'm letting my hair just soak up all the nutrients for a couple of hours before I shampoo and deep condition
