AryaStarr258 wow! Now that's a reveal. Did you go from neck length to a full healthy shoulder length? Your stretch results are amazing. Longest I've gone is 4 months. KUTGW!
 
Nix08 Thanks!!

bebezazueta Thanks a bunch! I claimed shoulder length back in early September, but my new growth was so massive that it made me look neck length. With this fresh relaxer, I'm now 2 inches past CBL! This was my longest stretch ever, and from now on, I think I'll keep stretching this long. It makes me feel like my work is actually paying off haha.
 
I'm losing way too much hair with these two textures. I will never stretch 16 weeks anymore. I cannot deal with the detangling. It shouldn't take me two days to detangle. Ridiculous. Look at this mess!! This is two days total!

just relaxed my hair and am so pissed! tangles & a matted mess! I don't pull or tug om tangles so I'm gonna just sit right here with conditioner & a heating cap until I figure something out. sigh....I don't want any setbacks for being impatient with my hair. any suggestions would help at this point. :(

pre_medicalrulz - what do you think happened?

Are you texlaxed or bone-laxed?
How long did you let the relaxer stay on your hair?
Did you smooth at all?

Sorry this is happening to you.
 
sunnieb yes I smoothed. well I had my mom relaxing one side of my hair ans my aunt relaxing the other side. they both smoothed. its funny cause my hair not knotted on the fresh relaxer part but ohh my goooodness, the bottom strands are housing the shed hairs which are where the tangles are.

I waited 16 weeks. maybe I didn't remove enough shed hairs. sigh...

@pre_medicalrulz this happened to me when i relaxed!!! the relaxed part was fine but the length of my hair and sections that were underprocessed were tangle very badly! i didnt know where to start the detangling process! but there was no way in hell i was going to chop off my progress

saturate your hair in conditioner that gives you the most slip (i used silicon bamboo) followed by your oil of choice (i used avocado)

put on a conditioning cap followed by a towel wrapped around your head
try not to stress and relax for couple hrs (i had the entire day to spare)

now gently start the detangling process. Be very gentle. I mean GENTLE. No yanking or pulling in frustration. Work a section at a time, starting from your ends! I had to rub gently between thumb and index finger a few strands that were intermingled. Do this instead of pulling them apart! if you hear tearing sounds, as you're detangling, STOP and move slower, be more gentle. I did not lose much hair at all!!! TAKE YOUR TIME!! if you feel yourself getting frustrated, put the comb down and walk away, take a breather, and start again.HTH!
 
I am under the dryer after relaxing today. I was 11 wks post and decided to go on and relax after losing more hair last week than I wanted. My relaxer went smooth. I even used PM shines demi color today for the first time on the same day as a relaxer. I was sooo hesitent to do this, but several stylist told me that it would be safe to do so. Dontspeakdefeat even told me that it was the best time to use it over a year ago. My grey was soooo hidious after relaxing today I just went ahead and colored it again. I do want to eventually stop coloring, but I'm going to have to get me some poos and cond that will make this grey pop. We will see...

Sorry to hear this. This happened to me once in the hands of a stylist with 16 wks ng. I'm not sure why, but after that I started relaxing myself. I have not experienced any tangles while relaxing even when I went 6 months. Why did you have 2 people relaxing your hair? Is the tangles while relaxing or after you have rinsed the relaxer out?

Got a relaxer on Thursday, I can tell my hair has grown more. My hair was highly layered as I am growing out a pixie cut. My hair always seems to grow out and then down, and I can tell it dud the same this time. I stretched for 10 weeks. Hopefully I can make it 11 weeks next time. My goal is 12 weeks.

I plan to keep the back short until the sides are longer.

I washed and did a protien treatment on my hair yesterday in preparation for my relaxer. I want to relax on wed. Is that too soon? I also sectioned my hair in twists in preparation for my relaxer. I plan on using sunnieb relaxer method. I will base the night before.
 
beauti THANK U SO MUCH FOR THAT!! I showed my mom what you said and we did just that. it took a few hours but it worked! I do see I lost some length but not drastic. lesson learned!

I am so thankful for you ladies!

janeemat For some reason lately my mom can't get thru the smooth process fast enough & some parts be underprocessed. so I have my aunt do one side & she do the other. that way they have more time to smooth. :)

the tangles happened after the relaxer was rinsed out. or better yet, WHILE I was rinsing out the relaxer. :(

I was thinking about doing my on Tues or Thurs. I doing my usual wash day today. I've pooed the day before I went into a salon for a relaxer. So, I'm thinking it won't be a problem as long as I don't scratch my head while pooing
 
Okay ladies my last relaxer for the year. As promised here are the before and after pics after I struggled with tangles and matted hair. It all worked out in the end though. Lesson learned to never again stretch 16 weeks and not FULLY detangle my entire head. :grin:

First 2 pics was when I removed the 8 celie braids from my hair that I had under my wig for only a week though.

3rd & 4th pic was after I rinsed out the relaxer and the tangles started. :nono:

5th and last pic is blow dried and my end result :look:

So hmmmmm....Can I please claim MBL because I'm tired ya'll? :drunk:
