Ok, which one of y'all keeps buying up all the Garnier Whole Blends Hydrating Conditioner Coconut Water & Vanilla Milk from my CVS?

Seems like ever since I raved about it on here, they can't keep any in stock! Imma stop raving about products.



Not really. Can you just leave me 2 bottles please???? :)
 
Relaxed on Monday after work 7 weeks post. Did ACV rinse before neutralizing for the third time and it’s a winner. I love it two fold; pulls out more of the chems for less shampooing necessary and bc of the luscious body the hair has after. Followed with aphogee 2min keratin reconstrutor and DCs.
 
What do you all recommend to mix in a relaxer? I know a lot of people do oil but anything else? And thanks @sunnieb

When I used to mix, I added Aussie Moist along with the EVOO. I like that it's full of cones and it also helps the relaxer to smell better.

**I've stopped mixing into my relaxer and just put it on my hair instead since it's easier for me to control how the perm processes.
 
Weekly trip to CVS and I was able to get my beloved Coconut Water conditioner. :)

There was only one bottle, so I got a bottle of the Garnier Whole Blends with ginger and honey to try. The ingredients sounded yummy! I'll report back when I use it next week.

Got a relaxer this morning - I'm still around full shoulder length after a trim. I really miss being a healthy BSL, so I need to work hard this year.

You and me both!

I can see my length creeping back every time I relax. It's just so slow! I want my hair back now, but know it's a waiting game.....

Hoping for full shoulder length by the end of this year so I can hit APL next year.
 
I bought Olaplex no 3 last weekend only to realize that I already have a no 3 bottle at home :look: I need to be better organized.
I also need a hardcore protein treatment that is not Aphogee 2 step.

I made the switch from Aphogee 2-step to Joico K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor a few years ago and never looked back..
 
I haven't used Aphogee 2 step for years. That kind of hard (and quite frankly unpleasant) protein isn't really necessary for me anymore thankfully.

Just as long as I keep on top of my protein treatments I'm fine.

I'm going to touch up tomorrow at 13 weeks, going to spend today prepping my hair.
 
Maybe Nexxus? I like it better than the Aphogee.

Ive been looking for the Nexxus (Polymedic Emergency Reconstructor) this past weekend (I have a little bit of Dudley’s DRC 28 left that I’m trying to preserve) and couldn’t find it in the 5 BSS I went to. They all said the same thing - it’s been discontinued. :nono:
 
Tonight's hair routine:

Prepoo with EVCO
Clarified with Suave
Shampooed with Nexxus Emergencee
Dc'd with Nexxus Emergencee (added a little honey)
Air dry

I ran out of my Shea butter mix a few days ago. Need to mix another batch tomorrow. :yep:
 
Out of curiosity, what were you using prior?

ORS Olive Oil

It's so irritating when companies do this.
 
My hair is luxuriously soft this morning!

I'm always a little cautious when doing protein treatments because I think my hair will get too hard.

So, I know the combo I did in my previous post works to keep the softness I want while getting protein my hair needs.
 
What was wrong with Olive Oil?
I currently use Hawaiian Silky mild relaxer (lye). It was the only one I could find in mild in the beauty supply store when I started relaxing my hair.
My hair has been breaking, I suspect it's the demi parmanent dye I have been using but I can't rule out the relaxer either.
