I look forward to getting a blk rinse this wknd. I bought the Alter Ego rinse. I think I'll let the Dominicans do it only bc I don't feel like dealing with the mess in my bathroom.

I'll have to try that brand. I use Clairol and hate it. It just doesn't last

Gettin' my Wen on! I'm a Wen-virgin...I've tried cowashing with different conditioners and have been dying to try Wen. I didn't do the subscription-that really didn't light my fire but being the Pj that I am, I really needed to take the plunge. I got my package in the mail today and I'm DC-ing with the remoisturizer right now. Planning on a twist out with the texturizing balm. I'm loving the feel of the cleansing conditioner.

I might have to try that but...I am totally loving Wen. I will be 15 weeks post on Saturday. Never have I had such an easy comb-out after a wash. I love, love, love this stuff! I can't wait until its dry so that I can see the finished product. Got my hair twisted and I letting it air dry.
 
I have s question for you wen lovers. My hair hearts protein and is easily over moisturized. Would trying wen be too risky for my strands? I've been wanting to try forever buy I just had to aphogee to restore my balance and that was while using a protein based leave in daily.

Ok Ladies, I couldnt take it anymore. I relaxed today at my 8 weeks mark. The relaxer looks like it went pretty good. I am currently under the dryer. It feels very nice to comb through my hair again!!:grin:

Wen works for everybody no matter what your hair craves wen has it.
 
Relaxed my hair today. It's definitely underprocessed. I had to wash it out though. I think I might go to a salon to get a corrective the next time I relax. Or I might just leave it the way it is. Not sure. :ohwell: I'm pretty over it, but maybe this will help my hair get the thickness I want. *sigh*
 
I hateeeee these super underprocessed pieces that I have mid strand at the front and back of my head on my left side. It was from an Affirm relaxer I got last year at a salon smh. Worst relaxer I've ever had. I tried a corrective with Mizani back in Aug but it didn't take, so I just left it. I hate the way my hair air dries because of it since it makes my ends look super scraggly.
 
I just bought more baking soda today. Now that I found the right combo for cleansing conditioners. I'm only shampooing once a month. That baking soda disappeared fast. But I know why. I co cleanse every week, sometimes twice a week. I'm addicted to shampoo alternatives.

Eta: I'm still praying for Wen this christmas

How does the saying go, "Its better to relax your color than it is to color your relaxer...." Was that right?

Thinking of getting color but want to make sure I apply it correctly on my relaxed strands.

TIA ladies!

No. Always color the perm. Never perm the color.

I got my curlformers in the mail monday so I'll be doing a set Thursday night. For those of you who rollerset using products for hold ie foam, or Lottabody...do you mix everything together in the spray bottle and keep spraying each section or do you have only water in one bottle for re-wetting and your other products in another? I love my Silk Dreams products. I've slowly learned that my hair doesn't really like cones...now to find a line available in stores that is cone free.
 
I have been researching and watching Youtube videos on applying relaxers. Next yr will be my 1st time putting a relaxer in my hair by myself. I have to say I am really excited b/c I will have more control on the time and texture.

I had a very heated discussion with one of my co-workers the other day and the argument was that she had asked for my advice a/b perming just the front of her hair every 2 weeks. I told her absolutely NO! Then she asked about perming her whole head once a month. I told her NO, but asked her what did she mean by perming her whole head? She proceeds to tell me that she perms her whole head, meaning root to ends. I told her that your only suppose to apply the relaxer to the new growth. She tells me that I am wrong and that her hair is healthy and thicker than mines. Now from what I saw of her hair it was extremly paper thin, dry and VERY damage. So I told her that to me her hair looked damage (I dont believe in sugar coating things), thin and that she was confusing thickness with coarseness. So she continues to argue me down about this, so finally I just told her to do what's best for her hair and continue her hair practices if she believes that its working for her.
 
13 weeks post and able to comb through my ng fairly well. The only thing I've done differently is significantly increase my water intake and reduce the amount of sugary juices.
 
My hair is starting to act up I pray this isn't the begining of my first set back. The back is SUPER under processed so it feels like a lot of ng very dry. I've been using a lot of moisture back there so it doesn't break. Now I got mushy hair and that cause a lil breakage. I'm using GPB right now. Just checked and it feels better. I'm only 4 weeks so idk what to do next if this continues.
 
Im so lost. idk what to post now that I'm in braids and a wig. I spray them everyday. Added my growth oil mix the beginning of this week but nothing else. The hair that mommy couldnt braid hasn't given me any problems. Other than that I might not make another post until I get to 16 weeks.

I'm annoyed. I'm barely one month post and my roots are already off the chain. My plan was to do a three month stretch, but idk if I can make it! I guess this means i've been getting better with My haircare. I've cut down to using heat once a month. I've also been doing more protective styles.

Healthy hair is like a college course. You know enough to be ahead of the class (ie. Non-lhcf women) but there's always something new to learn.
 
I've ordered linange lye relaxer for my next touch up. I still have 4 weeks to go. I really hope I like this relaxer and it does my hair good.
