Thanks so much for the shout.
I can't tell the difference between the texlaxed and the new growth, so I'm trying to stretch for as long as possible to really tell the difference. So far it going ok. I keep my hair in jailhouse cornrows and wash weekly since I use wigs as a protective style.Angelbean HEY LOVE
It's really time though. I miss not hating wash day. They've become unbearable, which in turn has led to me not deep conditioning as often as I should be. For the sake of hair health, I need to cut.
*waves* I'm 13 months post too and also going for two years!13 months post ....and still going strong. Only 11 more months before the 2year mark. Its true what they say....it DOES get easier as you go along.
Chile.... the only thing keeping me hanging on at this point is that SO would like a little more length and, when I'm honest with myself, so would I.Now that I've picked a transition chop date (2/5/15 at 30mos post), the days are going by super slow.
I originally intended to transition 2 yrs. I'll be exactly 19 months on your chop date. I might do it then. ) without another dc.

I'm just over it at this point.
Oh, on your dc issue, I was having the same problem which is why I jumped on the MHM bandwagon so quick. I rarely use the baking soda option, but even without it, I find that my hair is moisturized enough to survive a week (or ten days
I'm in the shower for almost thirty minutes concerning washing and applying conditioner in 4 sections. Detangling is ok if I have a good detangler an a serum. It's the drying that takes so long. I try to go under the dryer first, then blow the rest on cool. If I don't have any distractions, it takes 2 hours. Add styling to the mix, 3-4 hours total.
).
I rinsed out the conditioner, detangled, and dried my hair. I am going to use CON Argan oil leave in spray as my liquid moisturizer, while I'm doing my cornrows. Trying to strengthen my hair. I don't like the way my hair looks when it is wet! I can't wait til all of these bonelaxed ends are gone. That will be 2-3 years! I got some serious shrinkage going on too!
). I plan on using a lot, so I don't want to use one of my "good" deep conditioners and be wasting it on the relaxed ends I'll be cutting. I have a bottle of Oyin Honey Hemp I've never tried, but that stuff smells terrible.
bebezazueta You apply products to dry hair? Wow. Should I try that I'll be bald (my hair is a diva
I want to go back to roller setting, but I don't know how that will work with these two textures going on. I gotta get a spray bottle that will spray a mist. I would still have to use heat on my texlaxed hair. I flat ironed my hair yesterday. I used 400 degrees with one pass. My hair got salon straight. It felt nice having my hair styled and out. Plus, I really needed to see how my hair looked straightened. It looks a mess when it is wet or not straighten with these two textures going on.
