It Always Been About Hair!
Every time it looks like I may need to cut my hair in a blunt cut in between relaxers, by the time my relaxer hits, my hair is still in its blunt cut. No trim needed. So I always say, 'its catching up'. How true that is...I have absolutely NO idea.
However, pics say a lot of words.

Hi,
I self-relaxed for the first time last weekend at 14 weeks post. I *attempted* a texlax which I kept on for just under 12 mins. The result basically showed that that was a waste of my time as my resistant hair pretty much stayed the same.
My new growth at 14 weeks post
After relaxer
My hair is cut in layers and the longest was showing signs of thinning so I got a little extra trimmed off.

Sorry for so many pics, think I'm excited to see some progress.

So..I finally relaxed last night for first time since August.
I didn't intend to stretch so long, I even bought my relaxer in December to do it for Christmas but a mixture of laziness, busy-ness and temptation to transition delayed me.
I was also not having breakage and being lazy with styling but I have an interview for promotion this week so want to look extra slick.
Anyhow, I self relaxed using Motions Regular lye oil moisturizer relaxer..
I washed on Friday morning because didn't want to go to work with stinky hair but didn't manipulate my scalp too much and it was more of a co wash with minimal shampoo used. I airdryed in a ponytail cos I wanted to be able to see the regrowth clearly.
I relaxed in two halves as usual. Did the front, rinsed then dryed any wet unrelaxed hair at the back and did the back. I coated my scalp and previously relaxed hair well with pre treatment BUT I think this caused the relaxer not to take so well.
I was a little disappointed at the results as I expected a lot more length after such a stretch but looking at the pics I've taken maybe I'm seeing things skewed.... I self trimmed as although some strands were definitely bra strap, they looked raggedy.
I got compliments (from white female colleague..) on my nice 'cut' today. She was so impressed that I'd trimmed it myself.
Anyway see pics with some before pics of my beloved regrowth (which I had fallen deeply in love with and miss slightly today..
)I blow dried and flat ironed after washing and dry trimmed and dusted...I still don't seem to be full brastrap length yet been APL for too long..i think!
I will get DD to take some length pics in better lighting tomorrow- I just couldn't get it right yesterday (apologies for the dirty mirrors in first pics..you can see I cleaned them halfway through)!

So i decided to end my 25 week stretch on Friday. These are the steps i took:
1. I took each braid out (from my 3/4 wig) and detangled carefully.
2. I apply my Chi Silk Infusion to each braid and parted my hair into 8 sections (3 in the front, 2 on the bottom and 3 in the middle)
3. I based my scalp and edges with Vaseline and also applied Vaseline to the relaxed part of my hair as a protection from the relaxer.
4. I started at the middle of my head, then the nape, then the front (minus my edges). After applying the relaxer to all sections, i went back to the parts that already had relaxer in and smoothed the relaxer into my new growth and then proceed to apply the relaxer to my edges.
5. I then rinsed the relaxer out of my hair and proceeded to put my Aphogee 2 Min Reconstructor into my hair and left it in for 5 mins
6. Next i shampoo'd my hair with my Creme of Nature Neutralizing Shampoo. After the first wash i left the shampoo in my hair for about 5 minutes, rinsed then washed about 4 more times.
7. I deep conditioned my hair for 45 minutes under heat with my Organic Root Stimulator Hair Masque (this product is DA BOMB!!!!) along with my Organic Root Stimulator Replenshing for conditioner.
8. After rinsing i applied some Argan Oil and sprayed my Aphogee Green Tea Reconstructor and left my hair to airdry in a bun over night.
9. In the morning i sprayed my Garnier Frutis Sleek & Shine - Flat Iron Perfector Straightening Mist and flat ironed my hair on 320 Degrees.
This was my results.
I made a promise to myself that i would NOT trim my hair until i reach BSL so excuse the ends.
