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

[MsLi@512]

Mische: I'm such a stan for your hair. Are you HL or is that just shadows. Anyhow, great hair.:kneel:

 

[Mische]

Thanks Esi!

MsLi@512 What a compliment! My "V" stops at the green/white shirt and my hip is like an inch from that. So maybe 2-3 strands approaching hip--one of which I probably broke tryna get that front length shot, lol. I'd like it to become more full and U-shaped this year. Thanks again!

 

[TeeSGee]

@Mische ur hair is fab. that's my goal length. great inspiration.

I'm relaxing sometime this week, I will be back with picts sometime before Sunday. I just discovered this thread and I love it!

 

[bebezazueta]

Mische beautiful hair lady. Your thickness is insane.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

I will be relaxing in 2 weeks @ 12 weeks. No stretching this time for me.

Here is a pic of my pony today. My poor ends. Thank goodness I know it catches up on its own or I would have cut it by now.

I relaxed after a 16 week stretch. My stylist trimmed off a bit more than I wanted, but my layers are finally gone!

Nice! I looooove blunt cuts!

 

[Zawaj]

I bought a relaxer to do my own touch up but then I got a bit scared and scheduled an appointment for Friday. I'm still debating whether or not to do it myself. **off to stalk all the self relaxing threads**

 

[sugahoney]

Let me add my little contribution. I am finally getting back some length, next step is thickening it up. Maybe by the time I reach APL these vitamins would have made a difference.

Wow @pre_medicalrulz lovin the thickness

 

[beauti]

hi relaxed divas! sooo....i did a corrective on the 13th since i was so underprocessed the last time. Theres still some underprocessed hair in some areas but not as before. i must say,however, that this was one of the BEST relaxer results i've ever gotten! I did the protein technique before neutralizing but i've done that before without these results, so i'm gonna say the products i used this time around made the difference. Talk about butter soft hair with strength at the same time!

here are my pics. I didnt flat iron though, sorry! just bun pics. I also colored with bigen. See yall in June!

 

[Raspberry]

Nuh uh beauti you know we need a bun drop shot too right?

Your hair is

 

[Mische]

beauti Your thickness is incredible! I second the bun drop request...

 

[SouthernStunner]

I havent had a relaxer since June last year and it looks like I wont get another until Nov this year.

I move back to the states this June and since we will be looking for a house I wont have the time to give my hair and living out of a suitcase so Dontspeakdefeat will do a weave for me in July. Once I settle in then I will get a relaxer but it might as well be close to the holidays.

Gosh I miss my relaxed hair. When I get in the shower it looks like I am about BSB and that includes the 1 inch I got trimmed last month.

beauti I love your scarf and your hair! Bun drop please and you know we will ask you what products you used that you thought made a difference!

TIA

 

[beauti]

@Bnster, @Mische, and @Raspberry i will post pics when i get home. I shouldve known the buns wouldnt be enough! but im on the hyh challenge so ponytail it is!

ETA:

I used Aphogee keratin 2min reconstructor after thoroughly removing all traces of relaxer.kept that in for 5min. then i used Elasta QP stop-action neutralizer, followed by Lafier neutralizador(neutralizer cream), followed by the Elasta QP again, then i used Nacidit cream neutralizer, followed by Elasta QP again. THEN i was done with that process. Sat under the dryer with Nexxus Humectress for 45min. Rinsed that out. Pat my hair dry and put the bigen color, sat under dryer for 15min, should've stayed longer but i was scared. Co-washed that out with Organix coconut milk 'poo and conditioner. Applied my Silicon Mix bambu leave-in, sealed with vatika oil.

Here are my pony pics, nothing extravagant, sorry!

YIKES!!! i swear my mirror doesnt look that bad in person! sorry for huge pics

 

[divachyk]

nice hair ladies!

love the bun beauti

 

[sunnieb]

pre_medicalrulz - Love that thick ponytail! Can't wait for your pics!

RoseTintedCheeks - I really wish my hair could look like yours! After all these years, I still have some layers I'm trying to grow out!

beauti - Gimme that bun!!!!

sugahoney - We see you girl! Thanks for coming our and posting your beautiful, shiny hair!

 

[Bnster]

beauti thanks for replying and posting your ponytail pic. Your hair looks long - I imagine if it was displayed fully wowa!

Now for me, I just notice I am finally 6 months and 1 day post relaxer, hehehe time to relax. Now I just need to find me a tub of my relaxer at a reasonable price. My searching is on! The place I bought it last time doesn't have stock of the large tub medium strength.

Expectation of my relaxer results: What I seen back there, I know I am going to be disappointed by the unevenness of my hair. Hum... Next step after the relaxer to determine what I want to do about it. Boo hoo. Just psyching myself for the disappointment. Later Cheetahs!

 

[Nix08]

Bnster don't you worry we'll be here for you and you may get a nice surprise and find it's not as bad as you expect

 

[sweetypoo705]

I relaxed after 25 week stretch using D&L Healthy Gloss 5. Here are pre new growth pics and post pics. I am around CB and aiming for full, thick APL.




Challenges:
12 Inches in 12 Months Hair Challenge 2012
APL Challenge 2012

 

[afrochique]

beauti: Beautiful hair. I was wondering why you use different neutralizers. Is it beneficial to you?

 

[Onhergrind09]

I have posted picts of my hair, pre-relaxer, freshly relaxed after a shampoo and also air dried. I used affirm fibergaurd sensitive scalp formula (regular strength). I relaxed after a 12 week stretch--I'm well on my way to full shoulder length by my birthday in April, so exciting

 

[ATLcutey20]
