YoursTrulyRE said:Haven't updated in awhile but I lasted 12 weeks in my last install. Went on 7/27 and got it reinstalled (reused my onyc kinky curly). My stylist says I got some good growth some I'm going to try to keep this install in for 12 weeks as well.
For those ladies looking for a good moisturizer for your braids underneath, I've been using Shea Moisture Smoothie and it works great. My stylist said that my hair was so moisturizer that take down was a breeze for her.

havilland said:i finally got my takedown. i have not relaxed in a year, so i my goal is to basically maintaining at the same length. i trimmed about an inch or so of relaxed hair.
here are some pics of my hair. in the pink smock you can see my hair after the weave takedown before the trim. you can see the thin previously relaxed ends. and then after the trim. and the final style.
i haven't relaxed in a year. my hair is texlaxed with about 6 inches of natural roots. i have very fine, fragile, 3c hair that doesn't like chemicals. when i was regularly touching up my roots, i did it 2 times a year. i take care to protect my ends, so my hair is not overprocessed. what you see in the before picture is just the natural wearing away of my hair over time. i rarely use heat. (maybe 2-3 times a year) and i dust my ends every 2 months or so. in short, i take care of my hair.
anyway....what you see here (the thinning ends) is the reason i decided to stop relaxing/texlaxing....at least for now. i can't seem to get past BSL and i feel for me that relaxing is the reason. which makes me sad because i love the ease of relaxed hair.
