LMBO, glad we all have each other because them naysayers think we're crazy...
 
Due to Color Me Rad next weekend and my bday the following weekend, I'm have to texlax this weekend which will be at 6 weeks.
 
Hey KaramelDiva1978 ! I'm relaxing again it's been 10 weeks (my ticker is wrong in my siggy) and I have a good 1 1/2 inches of new growth. It's still manageable although I was having some breakage at the line of demarcation that aphogee 2 step fixed. However, I'm still interviewing and I don't feel like I look polished. On top of that I only relax because when I to straightens, my roots poof up the same day sometimes. But I still love being texlaxed, especially with the curl that I have left. How are things going with you?

Hey Chick :bighug:!
So far so good on this end too! I am 6 weeks post and my newgrowth feels amazingly soft because of the "stinky sulphur" challenge, you didn't want to join me on! :lachen::lol: It's something about the oils, not only is my hair growing like crazy, my newgrowth is incredibly manageable. When I took my daugther to the salon on Saturday, my stylist even commented, "You don't need a perm, your hair is fine for right now!" This is a major plus, so I may not relax until 10 weeks and that's because my girlfriend's wedding is Nov 3rd and I can't get "nappy". How is the new move treating you? I totally feel you on the smoother professional look while job hunting, that was one of my MANY reasons for going back to a relaxed head. I haven't been happier with my hair since then.

Let's grow it buddy! Keep in touch!! P.S. I have to post a bomb rollerset I did on Sunday.......loving it!!

Actually I'm going to relax on Oct. 19th too divachyk...I'm accompanying dd's class on a school trip so I took the day off. The trip should be over at noon so I have the afternoon to take care of my NG:yep: We remain Buddies:yay:
 
Ugh! I'm feeling hair lazy again. Luckily I'm bunning so my ends are ok, but I really need to get motivated to dc tonight.

Please pass some motivation this way...need to get my DC on!
 
I have finally nailed down my hair issues of the last year or so. It started with Sally's discontinuing my fav relaxer, Optimum (not Optimum Care). I struggled to find a replacement. Someone suggested Mizani BB and I found some in a local Asian store and thought, problem solved. What I didn't know was I was switching from Lye to No Lye, probably with some overlap since I'm a self-relaxer and I used to go about 71/2 weeks. I lost a lot of hair at that touch-up but I had a lot to begin with so initially it didn't register that I had damaged some of I beyond repair. I didn't know how to tell the difference between lye and no lye because I don't buy box relaxers. My last two stretches have seemed like forever because it has taken about 6 months or longer to get the shedding and breakage under control. Never agin on the no lye, I'll shave my head first. Anybody else have switching problems?

Same here. I oiled my scalp, moisturized and sealed and tied my hair up. Didn't even prepoo like I planned. Something about this cooler weather is making me lazy.

I managed to do a protein dc on dry hair and followed with a clarifying/moisturizing shampoo. My hair is thanking me.

baddison - howya doin' bud? Is this our 10th week?

Anyhoo, my newgrowth showed her arse today! :lachen:

My hair was looking a bit unfortunate so I just ponytailed it out. :look: I have to run out to a meeting in a few, but I'll go ahead and cowash with WEN Fig when I return. That should make my newgrowth happy. :yep:

sunnieb yeah buddy! I'm hanging in there too. Just finished cowashing with Tresemme Naturals. My ng has finally been 'whipped' into submission...LOL!:lachen:

I'm simply bunning it all the way. Looking forward to our next relaxer in December!
 
Newgrowth is in check today. She was no match for the deliciousness that is WEN!

I've been watching the wen infomercials...you like, huh? Thinking of trying some myself. Do you use as advertised or do your own thing?
 
I was thinking of trying HairOne because my pockets can't afford WEN. EbonyCPrincess uses it and a lot of the products she uses on her youtube channel for her hair work for me so it might be my next purchase

Cattypus1 - Girl yes! I love WEN! I use it as directed for my cowashes. I've been thinking of dc'ing with it to see how it works. :)

Gonna try some...the 30-day 29.95, free shipping sounds like a plan. I've tried cowashing but I haven't found the right product to do it yet. Thanks for the info.
 
I relaxed last weekend but I roller set so I hadn't gotten around to trimming until tonight. Here are the results

I'm not the best self trimmer but it didn't come out too bad if I do say so myself :)

Cool! I went ahead and got my WEN Fig on monthly auto-deliver. I don't use any cheapy conditioners at all. Only WEN. I'm not messing around anymore. I'm ready to hit MBL next year dangit! :grin:
