@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.

It also has protein and elastin in it now so not sure if that is greatest for my new growth and also not sure what to use after Emergencee. I will look for the honey thread.

I used to use the Humectress deep condition after every protein treatment but I switched to Joico moisture recovery. I used the regular humectress conditioner as a leave in.
 
Noooooo for real @kikisf. I need to re-up on Humectress. I get mine from Walgreens. I think I love Kera Minerals a little more than Humectress though. It's not as cost effective as Humectress but it's feels like it is more effective on my new growth.
 
15 today. Didn't even have it in me to DC. Getting tired. I keep saying to myself, "just four more DC's to go." Have pondered switching my relaxer date about five times this week.

@kikisf I noticed the formula change as well and was irked. Luckily I stopped by Ulta yesterday and they were having a B1G1 Free on Nexxus products, so I found the original Humectress there and got 2 of them. Maybe check your local Ulta or even Walgreens.

I'm almost 10 months post now and my hair is getting thicker by the minute. Feels as though most of my DC's are not working like they used to so that's why I got more Humectress. I'm looking to get more Keracare Humecto too eventually.
 
I'm one week post, not sure when my next relaxer will be. I plan on doing every three or four months like I use to. Now it's time to revisit my old relaxed regimen to see if it still works, I feel I'm more texlaxed now than relaxed like I was a few years ago. I'm excited!!
 
End of the week will make it 16 weeks.....doing inversions this week which will end next Monday....will buy a tub of relaxer then
 
11 weeks in a couple of days. Last stretch was around 18 months. I had decided to do 12 weeks but I'm not sure now.
 
@divachyk :wave: Yes, I'm still stretching. Towards the end of this month will make me 10 months post which I still can't believe. It's been hard the past 2 months but I'm still trucking along and hanging in there.

My hair looks pretty blah these days due to this stretch, still trying to figure out what to do with all this hair.
 
12 weeks 3 days. Cannot tell if j have ever relaxed at 12 weeks. It's such a short stretch but I'm gonna do it tomorrow. My NG is miserable, thanks my fruit n vegetable juices.

@sunnieb - Empress of Creamy Crack

So I know somebody that knows someone who is thinking about texlaxing (mild relaxer) after six years natural, she needs suggestions on the best relaxer for this purpose. She has fine strands, kinky curly type four hair, fed up with SSKs but doesn't want bone straight hair. :roadrunner:

I'm just now seeing this!

Design Essentials Sensitive Scalp has always been good to me.
 
So my Thursday relaxer never happened. I bought the relaxer and ( Profectiv regular no lye sachet) changed my mind to relax tomorrow but after going through these plaits 1 by 1 I realize my NG thickness was NOT ready so I'm gently detangling and I have now moved my date to next week Monday.

I'll be 13 weeks post tomorrow.
