[Nayeli]

14 weeks post this Saturday. Made my relaxer appointment for July 31, when what I really want to do is relax this very moment. Co-washing in the middle of the week until relaxer day.

 

[syze6]

I waited three months and self-relaxed and rinsed last Saturday. My hair was a matted tangled mess. I swear it took my daughter and I three hours to untangle my hair. I kept putting conditioner on it but when I put some virgin olive oil on it, ONLY then did it seem to unloosen a bit! My scalp is still sore from the pulling and untangling. I really don't know what happened. I don't know if it was the semi-rinse, conditioning before neutralizing or too much manipulating while rinsing over the kitchen sink, or I waited so long to relax but it was a mess! At one point I was so tired, I thought about just cutting and ripping through it just to get it over with. My hair is below bra strap length, so my daughter had to get me to relax and let her continue to try.

22 weeks today and still going strong. Will assess at 24 weeks and I have no date set when I'll relax.

 

[TLC1020]

16 weeks (4mths) post today, not sure when I will be relaxing, can't remember if last time was 5 months or 6 months post.

 

[Rozlewis]

1 day post. I relaxed yesterday at 18 weeks post.

 

[missyrayne19]

1 week and 3 days post. It's so nice to have my hair be one texture again (more or less). I'm seriously beginning to consider getting a cut. I'm below BSL but these darn layers I have throughout my hair make me wanna chop my hair to APL so everything is one nice, even length

 

[CluelessJL]

9 weeks and ok so far. I'm almost certain I've got some underprocessed hair from last time along with the new growth, so it feels like I'm much further along. Everything's behaving at the moment though!

This happened to me as well when I relaxed last week Tuesday but I expected it since I wasn't combing my hair anymore. My new growth still didn't relax completely.

I installed box braids too at 9 weeks post. I hope to keep it for 4 weeks then relax the week after I take it down.

 

[kikisf]

Grrr. I have been stretching and went to costco to get more Humectress to cut through my new growth the way @sunnieb @divachyk had me all hooked up and Lo and Behold they changed the formula.No honey in it. I am in tears. what are you guys doing as a replacement?

 

[sunnieb]

@kikisf What!? I didn't even notice.

I still buy my Humectress from Costco, but I've always added real honey to my conditioners as a boost. Check out the honey thread I started - somewhere around here.
