yaaaaaayyaaww sheesh i wish i lived in the bahamas too lol its perfectly fine if youre texlaxed i used to be texlaxed about 2yrs ago.what length are you&when do you plan on getting your next relaxer? ooh and also are you a self texlaxer?i wanna start self relaxing but im too much of a punk to do it lol
my longest layer is grazing bsl but i want to be at least full bsl by august maybe we can reach our future goals together lol
This is awesome
. I am neck length....again nad only trying to get to BSL long-term. I am trying to reach full shoulder length by my birthday in October this year as a newly texlaxed head. I just had another BC in January this year but not planning on another one moving forward - just small trims here and there as needed.I do self-texlaxed with mild lye relaxer mixed with conditioner and sunflower oil so I don't have to rush the process too much. Altogether today, I took about 14-15 minutes from start to finish. That was fairly quick I know, but I really didn't want straight hair.
My normal texlaxer stretch is around 14-16 weeks. I relax whenever my hair is giving me static which is around this time. Today I was only 15 weeks post which is still fine for me.
I blow dried my hair on low and did a light flat iron too. I probably won't be using any heat again for a looooong while - possibly 2-3 months.
Self relaxing is scary at first, but it gets easier with time and practice. If you are not comfortable doing them yet, then don't! Wait until you have all the facts about relaxers and relaxing, products, including protective base for your scalp and for your previously relaxed hair strands, poo, mid-relaxer treatment, moisture conditioner, thermal protector, etc... Every detail is important.
Now I have to give myself a hendigo so I will probably do that one next week. I do it for color and conditioning but mostly for natural chemical-free coloring. Love the shiny and healthy results of them

I have a wedding to go to on the 28th of April...I'm contemplating relaxing on the 27...because my stretch is going so well (so far
) I'm not sure if I'm asking for trouble doing that though...although really what's the big deal
Any opinions???
) My dress has my entire back out so I want to feel my hair on my back
Awesome!
, but I need to do everything I can to save my ends. My poor babies, they need my attention like they've never needed it before. This is a critical stage for them and I don't feel it will get easier until I reach APL and beyond. I need to stick to my guns and just do it!
