@incredible

Sorry to hear about your BC-related issue. I just switched b/c one was messing up my skin.

niqu92 -not to doubt what your stylist told you, but please go talk to your doctor before writing off your BC pills as the cause of your shedding. Maybe it's another issue.
 
yeah im going to talk to my doctor first but i have a strong feeling its cause of the BCP cause the shedding didnt start until i took them.my stylist didnt even know i was on BCP as she was doing my hair she was randomly said "are you taking BC?" and i said yeah and she said "i figured because your hair is shedding too much"
im mad my doctor gave me the pills without telling me that shedding is a side effect.at least my hair is still thick if it was thin&shedding then that would be horrible.

Yeah, it's probably somewhere on the pamphlet in tiny lettering. It's ironic that hair shedding is scarier to me than blood clots. At least, enough to make me rethink the whole thing. I'm back on the shot, after ortho-tri-cyclen lo and sronyx (another lo-do). I had shedding with sronyx that I ironically didn't have with the shot. There is a lo-do, though, so I'll probably go that route.

I relaxed tonight after a 16 week stretch. After the trim, I am grazing BSL. My stylist was like Whoooo your hair is getting so long! I really see my hair progressing, but it still feels short sometimes. LOL I remember when I first started, BSL was my dream. but now I am thinking I want to go even further.

RoseTintedCheeks gawgeous hair lady. But girl your bra sits really low. Is it at your waist? If u post a pic showing your entire back, I bet you are at least MBL!

bebezazueta My bra does sit really low, so I think BSL and MBL are pretty much the same length on me. I don't feel MBL though, lol. Maybe because of my layers. I feel funny claiming it.

WL is definitely right around the corner though!
 
I'm relaxing this weekend. I am 8 weeks post. I am self-relaxed and I normally relax anywhere between 7 - 9 weeks. I will come back to post my results.
 
I will probably be relaxing next week or the week after. I was going to try for 12 weeks but its too much ng right now plus i want to correct these ends. The texturizer left my hair too coarse. I bought my relaxer already.
 
Hi ladies! I relaxed on Friday with Silk Elements Megasilk w/olive oil relaxer. I wanted to put off relaxing for the remainder of my pregnancy, but I think I was doing more harm than good. I had crazy shedding. I am so pleased with how it turned out. My hair is bone straight and easier for me to manage. Today I'm going to clarify and dc.

Before, 14 weeks post

Nice results! Do you normally clarify after your relaxer?
 
I will be relaxing next month at 16 weeks. May push it to 20 weeks if my NG doesn't disrespect me in the process. LOL. I will post before and after pics. Forgive me in advance for the before pics. They are never pretty. hehe
 
Don't forget to post your before/after pics if you are relaxing this weekend! :)

Well I already posted in here in September. I will be back with new touch up pictures in December or January. I used the relaxer my mom used on my hair as a teen. Gentle Treatment. The relaxer is wonderful as far as not damaging my hair in anyway and it always feels soft and supple, but my roots tend to not be straight after only a few weeks. My hair seems to be straighter longer with other relaxers.

I don't know if that means my roots are growing super fast or that my hair is reverting. I have always had this issue with this relaxer. IDK if it bothers me enough to switch since I am being lazy and not straightening anyway. This really effects when I flexi rod on air dry hair and my roots look like tumbleweed.

Right now, for both. I am trying to help a friend at work who is BSL. I haven't been relaxed and BSL since I was 14 years old.:lol: I am thinking about relaxing next year. It seems my hair did fare better. I am still not sure if I will, though. Just thinking about it...:boredwrk:
