I lost so much hair during the dc/detangle process. My hair is too fragile to comb when soaking wet and drenched in conditioner. My hair was stretchy and breaking.

I will stick to washing and dcing in braids. Then I will detangle and rebraid when my hair is partially dry. This trial and error thing is frustrating
:pullhair::pullhair::pullhair::pullhair:
 
I got the results of my komaza analysis but I won't have the consultation til tuesday but i'm shocked to learn absolutely nothing I have been doing has been benefiting my hair. From the images my hair is very dry and lacks protein despite the fact that I do protein treatments and I do deep condition after every wash and use a leave in. :eek:

Will talk about it more once I have the consultation
 
I found the old Cream of Nature detangling shampoo at my bss so I bought the last bottle. I also got a bottle of organic safflower oil, argan oil, some shears for my trim and more conditioning caps. I wash my hair twice a week so I go through those caps like crazy...
 
I finally got around to coloring my hair (semi permanent). Now I am going to dc, detangle and braid it up. I'm getting a Dominican blowout next week :yay:
 
I used cholesterol to dc last night. I asked mom for hair advice about shredding.
She informed me how her hair shredded like crazy once she had me.
She said to cholesterol my hair once every week, and continue to its back to normal.
My scalp feels healthier since I rinsed it out and still do.

I'm glad you found something to help with shedding. Does Cholesterol contain protein or is it moisturizing?
 
I haven't posted in a while (no app), but I went to Sally's today and bought the shea butter lye silk elements relaxer. I usually use Linange shea butter, but I want to see if I can save money and have something available on the ground. I also bought a rich brown silk elements semi-permanent color. I haven't relaxed since some time in February and I normally go 10 weeks because otherwise my fine hair begins to break.

Next month I'm going to think about working a standing dryer and some new rollers into my budget so I can start roller setting regularly.

@Prettymetty I don't believe it has protein in it. I used the yellow Proclaim enriched with aloe vera, jar says its moisturizing. It do have an humectant. My moms recommend the green one, I looked up the ingredients and the green one contains lemon extract, rose Mary extract and others. I'm picking that one up this week
 
It's wash day. I am using Cream of Nature detangling shampoo and Kerastase Chroma Riche mask. This will be my first wash since coloring my hair (semipermanent). I will wash with lukewarm water so my red doesn't fade.
 
I just came back from getting a trim. I relaxed and applied the semi permanent color. I don't really see a difference in the color. As for the relaxer, my roots look way silkier than the rest of my hair; not sure how I feel about that. My scalp is also still tingling...I know how I feel about that. I'll be keeping a close eye on my hair and scalp and may end up going back to Linange next time I relax, which by the way I went 13 weeks instead of my usual 10.

@Prettymetty I used Silk Elements MegaSilk in Rich Dark Brown. I'm not sure what I was going for. I think I just wanted to put some non-damaging color in to satisfy my desire for highlights. I had been using honey pretty regularly to lighten my hair, so now it looks darker than it did, but that's fine.

I didn't flat iron because I'm seriously thinking about splurging on a standing dryer and some of those hourglass hair rollers. I like my hair to have body and I can get that with pin curls, but for them to look their best, I have to flat iron first.
 
There's no need to flatiron. Your texture looks perfect just like that. I would still be relaxed if it wasn't for an unfortunate conditioner fiasco. I slept in a dc and my hair matted to a point of no return. I had no choice, but to chop it all off. This was 4 years ago.

I'm still trying to figure out this natural thing. My hair is so fragile and tangly. Thank God I'm getting it blown out on Monday.
 
washed my hair in 10 sections yesterday....did a protein treatment with apogee 2 step reconstructor and coconut oil for about 15 minutes and then followed with nexus humectress for moisture. airdried in same plaits and then blowdried and sealed with argan oil. skipped my oil mix yesterday. My hair feels soft and yet strong...perfect! Plaited it into 2 plaits and that was it.
 
I managed to get cute beach waves using four Bantu knots, but it's raining cats and dogs, and I can feel my hair expanding as I type this. I didn't put any type of holding product on it, so that didn't help. I'll try again tomorrow and post photos.

Tomorrow I'm getting my hair blown out for the first time since January. I will post pics, but then I will trim on Tuesday (lengthening day Morocco Method). Hopefully I only need to trim 1/2 inch or so.

Anthony Morocco is a very successful hair stylist. He has a chart each year with the best days to trim hair or not trim. There are lengthening days, thickening days, strengthening days, root work and beautifying days. He also has hair products. I haven't used any of his products, but I watch his trim tutorials and I've been trimming based on phases of the moon for years.

Here is the 2015 chart
