[Evolving78]

My son just broke my dryer can I still do an Aphogee 2 step with out it? Tia

you can use a hand dryer. just don't touch your hair.

Relaxed heads, any of you using the Rehab Junkie deep condish?

 

[quirkydimples]

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.

Please post your results. I plan to buy this relaxer, but I'm not touching up again until mid January. Can't wait to see how it works for you!

I just did my first self dusting/trim. I figured if I messed up its just hair and it'll grow back.

no i never tried it before. is it thick and creamy? does it absorb into the hair?

I have this too but I have yet to use it. I'm scared it will under process me. Lissa0821 did you buy the neutralizer too or do you have your own?

 

[sharifeh]

Am I the only relaxed head that doesn't use apogee two step regularly. I have it but I only used it once like 2 years ago.

sharifeh Yes, I brought the neutralizer as well. I will have my fingers and toes crossed that it doesn't under process my hair.

Nope, I have never used it and have no plans whatsoever to give it a try. The 2min or Duotex on a weekly basis work just fine for me.

I don't use it frequently as I had a natural stint and was weaved up, but u can tell you that from the past it really works. I just used it last night and probably won't use it again till sometime in January or so.

Morning Ladies!!!
Question:
Have any of you ladies used Soft & Beautiful Texture Softner (Just for me). If so, any opinions/advice?

Do you know if it's no-lye?

I plan on texlaxing in Jan with this texturizer. My previous relaxer of choice was Mizani Butter Blends, for sensitive scalp but it has proven to be too strong for my scalp and I end up burning within 5min.

Thanks in Advance for any advice!!

I used it once, but didn't know how to use it so I thought it was too much work for too little return. Now that I know what hair should feel like after a protein treatment and to do a moisturizing treatment I've been thinking about trying it again before I relax in January.

Did a curlformers set last night and took them out this morning. I used 5oz water and 1oz Lottabody and a pump of Cream of Nature Argan Oil Wrap Lotion on each section. I used a total of 39 formers. Disclaimer: I'm posting from my phone so excuse me if the pics are to big. If they are just let me know and I'll try to resize them. Also excuse the rogue bra strap and my too big shirt but today is lazy day lol.

There's a youtube video about it. My friends use it but idk if their hair is texlaxed or if it gets bone straight. They keep their hair flat ironed.

I wanna revisit it too. I used it in the beginning of my hhj when i was buying everything and using everything. I want to start using it again now that i'm more knowledgeable

 

[pinkgreenmommie]

loveafterwar and lamaria211, do you recommend ordering online or going to a BSS? Also not sure whether to go the wig or weave route.

Check out blackhairmedia.com they have a wealth of info on weaves.

 

[sckri23]

pelohello there is also a member who's hair gets bone straight from the TS. I asked about it some time ago.

It is a no lye relaxer that you add oil to. Texture softener is just a marketing term.

Soooo, I caved in and finally used Crisco to flat iron my hair and I must say I am very pleased with the results. I am 21 weeks post relaxer as of yesterday.

sharifeh - I'm protein sensitive so I don't use much protein. I especially don't use aphogee 2 step. It's to hard of a protein for my hair.

 

[lamaria211]

I used Aphogee 2 step today and it made my hair feel so good very smooth n soft

Me too! 16 weeks post today! Sitting under a heat cap right now, getting ready to do my twist-out for the week. Got my Wen last week so I'm conditioning with Wen. I love that stuff!

This is more like a relaxed random thought:

I was ready to give up on relaxed hair because my hair just kept thinning out. After much thought and consideration I decided to stay relaxed but with a few tweaks. I'm going to start stretching my relaxer to abt every 5-6 months with the help of sew ins. I'm also texlaxing my hair with a hair dresser I *trust*. I'm actually excited about this and happy to start over on my hair journey. Everything else is fine - I know the products that work for me and I stick with it. It was the over processing of my hair that started to thin it out.

I'm actually starting to visualize myself with thicker relaxed hair that's long. The only thing I want to start doing is experimenting with styling. Simple things like even mastering the side braids, maybe wearing curl type styles and when I put my weave back in I will rollerset more. Traycee on KISS usually has some cute bun or hair styles.

 

[lamaria211]

I clarified n did my protein today can I relax on Tue??

 

[quirkydimples]

I used Mizani BB chelating shampoo last night because I haven't used shampoo in a while. I slept with Wen 613 on my hair with a conditioning cap under my satin bonnet. Got up this morning and went running with my plastic conditioning cap under my bandana (two birds, one stone), came home and rinsed it out and hair felt great. I planned on blowdrying and flat ironing, but decided to just put it in a 85% dry ponytail while I run errands and write today. SO and I are going out tonight (child-free weekend, woohoo!) and I may blow dry and flat iron it in a few hours.

Photos are of me with no product. The comb is my shed hairs after detangling with 613

 

[quirkydimples]

My hair was a little damp at the end of the day, so I did a quick blow dry (1st pic) and flat iron (1 pass at 325; 2nd pic). When I was natural I had highlights, so the last two inches of my hair have to be babied. Each time I trim I'm happy to cut more of that hair off.

 

[sharifeh]

My hair responded well to Aphogee 2 step last night. I used to have hair all over the shower, after aphogee 2 step i had a few hairs in the drain. wow. dramatic difference. My hair just feels stronger.
I forgot abut the smell though. That stuff smells like a mix of poop and vomit next time im using gloves because the smell lingered on my hands for a few hours after
I'm gonna add this to my regimen every 6 weeks or every 8 and see how my hair responds over time. This might be the response to hair thinning out towards the ends.
