Spinny: The Relaxer "Reveal" Thread!!!!

[pre_medicalrulz]

awww thanks Toy and MsDee14

I lost a lot of hair but they were long strands and not short ones. Thank goodness for thickness!

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

Thanks Raspberry

@janeemat - Where the pics at? You know this is a "reveal" thread, right?

I know sunnieb. I had to attend DH company Christmas party and did not have time. I will take some before the week is out. Hopefully one week post is not too late

Thanks Raspberry you are too kind!

I absolutely love lurking in this thread because it’s doing a wonderful job dispelling the myth that relaxed hair cannot thrive.


(Plus, I enjoy seeing pics of actual subscribers, as opposed to googled and youtubed hair.)

hey guys, quick question (i need yalls opinions)

im currently 7 weeks post, next week im leaving to go on vacation and im not coming back until jan7

i usually get my touchup every 9-10weeks i never go past 10 because i always get breakage/excessive shedding.i want to get my hair done nxt week before i leave for vaca and get a touchup- next week will make me 8weeks post but i feel like thats too soon. but at the same time if i get my touchup after my vacation that will make me almost 12 weeks post and i know my hair will be shedding like crazy by that point.
so im not sure whether i should do it next week or wait til i come back

what do you guys think?

Hmm.. I dunno, maybe get a weave or braids for vacay? If not I would just relax at 8 weeks if you're certain of excessive shedding..

i finally relaxed at 12 weeks post. i wished i could have smoothed it in some more but i started to feel a tingle i might have to look into that half and half method

 

[beans4reezy]

I love this thread...hopefully, I can post up in here soon!

 

[beauti]

niqu92 i cosign with Raspberry...is braiding your hair an option? its low maintenance and all you would have to do is moisterize with a good braidspray everyday and cowash...

i decided to relax tomorrow guys
i just hate relaxing at 8wks post because although i have a lot of new growth in the back, the front of my hair grows much slower so i barely have any newgrowth there. so im just going to tell my stylist not to leave it on too long.
if it comes out good i'll post pictures,my hair is slowly but surely turning around from my set back so hopefully i'll be full Mbl in about 2months

This is a great thread even though I'm not relaxed. I just love it when ladies are enjoying their hair journey.

Beautiful results ladies!

I'm impatiently waiting for the weekend to relax. That green ORS box has been staring at me all week. My hair looks so short and thin erplexed and I'm only going on 8wks post. I'm praying it's just that shrunken up look before the relaxer. That's why I can't stretch because of this fear of thinning hair. I was using sulfur for a good bit of this time so I have a tad bit more NG than normal. So hopefully I'll be able to add some pics showing at least a bit of progress this weekend.

Good luck all!
