@shortdub78 welcome back! :)

That's the great thing about our hair. We can choose to go straight, natural, or in between.

It's good to be back Captain! lol I got my hair pulled back with scrunchies! Winning! lol I decided to style it tomorrow for my power meeting! lol I gotta show these people that I mean business!
 
The naturals in my circle keep telling me I'm transitioning. I say I'm not. They look at my hair like. Um hum. :look: I'll try to attach hair pics from today. :hair:

That means relaxer day is near! I've checked and have all my supplies. Now all I need is time.

@levette your hair looks gorgeous! Take care of your scalp girlie!

I cowashed with WEN Pomegranate and my hair loves it. I notice that as long as I keep up with weekly dc's and cowashes, my newgrowth doesn't mat together in one big 'helmet' of hair under my previously relaxed hair.

Hope to relax in a couple of weeks. :)

I self relaxed though somewhat texlaxef. My hair is so soft and bouncy.. after neutralizing I poured Jbco on my scalp to help my scalp from tingling which could mean a. Scalp burn with hair sticking to my head

Which relaxer did you use?
 
I keep saying I'm going to rejoin y'all... The last relaxer I used was alter ego... And that was a few years ago.

My wash n go's were so pretty (looking back at old pics).

Ouch!
I dunno if this works days later but vinegar (ACV and white) helps to reduce and stop scalp burns. It stinks but it definitely helps to soothe the scalp.

-My hair needs to be DC'ed but it's gonna have to wait until Sunday. It's long and healthy so hopefully it doesn't hate me for this :look:

-My air drying days are over. I know I've mentioned this twice already but I'm still brainstorming products and stuff to buy/new techniques but yeah :ohwell:
 
@SuchaLady

I'm thinking of trying wet bunning for a month or so after I take out these mini braids. I've seen so many ladies on the boards over years retain a lot of growth this way.

Is anyone familiar with the regi for wet bunning? I plan to take it down at night to let it dry but I don't want to sleep with my hair loose. I also know I have to move the bun around to prevent breakage.
 
Right now I'm going to be washing my hair 2x a week. I plan on using flat ironing my hair and wearing it out for a day or two, then I will just pin the back up, wear bangs until wash day. I plan on washing Tuesdays and Saturdays. Once my hair gets longer, I will start to roller set and bun. Hopefully I will be able to do that in 4-6 months.

I was never able to wet bun. I would just let my hair air dry 90% then put it in a loose bun. I used NTM leave in, CON serum, and shea moisture spray in the peach/pink bottle. I need to get those products again. Right now, the products I have are decent. I will buy that stuff when I run low.
 
@MzSwift My ends are not my friends right now so I silently shuddered to myself at the thought of wet bunning :lol: I remember reading about that technique when I first joined and yes, the retention in those threads was always amazing :yep:

We'd love to have you :angeldevil:
 
I stupidly bought the conair hot rollers in acticipation of my new regime starting with my next touch up

You see, I'm going to learn from scratch how to rollerset my freshly washed hair, but I meant to do it on wet hair. Like its done traditionally. I wisely decided to do some research on how these hot rollers work. After the purchase. Now I know I can't use it on wet hair.

Unless LHCF tell me otherwise :cry3:
