DOWNRIGHT DELICIOUS DEEP CONDITIONING CHALLENGE 2009 - PART 3!!!

[*Muffin*]

Weekly Check-in

On Tuesday I DC'd with my AO HSR with heat for 15-20 minutes. Today I clarified my hair using a hair mask I made from Red Clay, water, jojoba oil, and honey. I let that sit on my hair for about 20 minutes, then I rinsed it out. Now I'm DC'ing with heat for 30 minutes with my AO HSR. I was DC'ing every week with both a moisturizing and protein DC, but now I think I'm going to start using my protein DC every other week because my hair has been feeling a bit stiff.

Just letting everyone know that I made a decision today to transition from relaxed to texlaxed. I texlaxed my hair today and I gatta tell ya ladies, I like it, I really do so I'm keepin' it. I am now DCing with Keracare Humecto on my hairf or 40 minutes. Delish.

I like the look of texlaxed hair JD. Also, my hair is pretty fine and I want bigger hair now and a texlaxer will give me that look. I am also getting older and I really don't wish to leave the relaxer on as long as I usually did before or in it's full strength for that matter. In and out is fine with me now at this stage in my life.

Transitioning to natural hair is still in my mind, a bit of a stretch for me but texlaxed hair, I think I can handle. The thing is, I know a few things has to happen now with my hair regimen For example, more protein treatments to keep my demarcation line as strong as possible, I will have to start trimming gradually until all the bone straight relaxed hair is completely gone and I will definitely have to do little manipulation of my hair so more protective styling is gonna be needed. I'm happy to say I'm up for the challenge ahead of me.

ETA: Also, I want to be able to do wash and go's too.

Thanks sweetie. I have the entire process in my fotki. I knew that question would come up and also I wanted to have a point of reference of my own just in case I forgot how I did it. It's all there honey. You can check it out when you get a moment, okay? I used Mizani Butter Blend mild. I still had quite a bit of texture left in my hair but my stylist straightened it out in the pics I showed here.

She applauds my efforts of texlaxing my hair because she said it would thicken it back up again and she wishes that all her clients would start requesting to have it done but so far, she said - no such luck. By the way I texlaxed my own hair and went to her to trim it for me.

Did you order your Mizani online? How do you like it?
I want to switch from SE because I think even the mild gets my hair too straight but I don't know what I should relax with next.

I have been toying with the thought of texlaxing, just so I could wear my hair curly. Do you ever wear the curly/wavy look? And do you have any pics?

p.s. I checked your fotki but I didn't see any

No, thankfully I have a girlfriend that owns a BSS here in the Bahamas and she sells them to me, but only because I'm her friend. You know I think that mild MBB would leave my hair too straight as well if I don't dilute it with oil and silk amino acids. I like it because it really doesn't burn like other relaxers I've tried. I really like it.

ETA: You can find the Mizani BB on either www.paynesbeautysupply.com or www.sleekhair.com. Good luck.
