From Sleekhair:

Today I got the Joico K-Pak Revitaluxe Treatment a few minutes ago along with the K-Pak Smoothing Balm and K-Pak Damage Repair Shampoo. I also got a large bottle of Nairobi Detoxifying Shampoo. I can't wait for my Joico stash to get here.

My hair has been a little fragile in the last 3-4 months or so and I really believe these will turn that around for the better :yep:.

My presses were pretty much in order with what you said.

I would wash/dc. Apply a serum to my hair and detangle and blow dry in small sections, concentrating more so on my roots.

The. I would follow up with a little more serum and my flat iro.n. Most people use to comb chase method but I myself had difficulties controlling a tiny comb so I used a brush (like what guys brush their hair with). I will part my hair in small sections. Have the flat iro.n on top and the brush and the bottom, and stroke them both in a downward motion at the same time.

Results were perfect silky presses. I hope that helps a tiny bit.

How's the Newly Relaxed PJ?:2inlove:

Were you pleased with your final results? How easy was the Virgin Relaxer?

Going great. I'm pleased. My hair is still a bit curly though. It looks like it's 3c but I'm ok with it. I did have to flat iron it but I didnt have to blow it out (which is the hardest part).

I'm looking forward to moisturizing & sealing my ends again. I never could do that at first without my hair reverting.

When you relax it again, it would straighten out better. Virgin hair never seem to relax straight with that first relaxer. That's how I ended up texlaxed. I liked it so much, I just kept on texlaxing instead of making it all straight again.

I only leave the mild relaxer on my hair for 6-7 minutes, plus I coat it with so much stuff, I probably don't get much of the relaxer to penetrate my hair at all AND I add quite a bit of oil and conditioner to my relaxer :lol:.

Additionally, I texlax mostly every 20-26 weeks post. This year, I will be texlaxing every 13-18 weeks, depending on the speed of my hair growth.

Yea I don't plan on "relaxing" again until maybe 6mths from now. I did coat my hair too but my relaxer isn't a "bone straight" Relaxer which I like. It leaves texture but clawd, I didn't think it'll leave that much on a virgin one lol.

Basically if I never said anything, no one would really know I'm relaxed now if I did a wash n go lol.

However I live in very humid New Orleans. I was out and about and my "relaxed/textaxed" hair didn't puff up on me at all and I was thanking the gawds for that. So with that very simple occurance, I'm definitely pleased... :-)

My skin is in the same boat. I've tried a few things but MUAC seems to work best for me. I do a double cleansing method (oil first, then creamy cleanser or exfoliating scrub). Toner and essence with the 7 layer method. I use serums that help for evening skin tone and texture (vitamin c and peptides mainly). Then a moisturizer (lately Shea butter. If you want specifics, PM me.
