I wonder if protective styling for this relaxer period will do me any good. Hopefully it won't do any bad. I don't see breakage

Moisturized my hair last night and it feels so good. Supple, I'm fact. So grateful for LHCF teaching me what my hair SHOULD feel like!

I was just sitting around thinking, and I can't believe when I was natural the first time around and I can't believe I would go a month some times two months without washing my hair! And when I did I would "deep condition" with a hot oil treatment and rip through my hair a dryer and try to straighten my hair slapping grease on my ends because they never got straight and I thought putting grease on them would help it to straighten. Now that I think about it I don't even think the hairdresser back then deep conditioned my hair before straightening either, I just remember one time. In hindsight that was pretty bad, but was all I knew. I was in the mindset back then that the only thing that could be done with natural hair was going to the salon and getting it straightened. No wonder my hair stayed stuck at armpit length back then. Yay for enlightenment!

Your roller set looks like bubble gum and ice cream lol! I'm now long enough to roll my hair. Sigh. Afraid my rollers are kinda ugly, though, but I'm not going to complain. On to long lengths again!!!

I'm thinking of ditching my satin cap for my edges and nape.

For clarification, did you ditch a satin bonnet or cap? I'm happy that your edges are flourishing.

Freaking allergies made me sick and I'm scared to wash my hair now. In the past if I washed my hair while sick I got worse and I need to go to work tomorrow. Sigh. I guess it will have to wait. Meanwhile my scalp is itching like a ****.

First time doing a braid out in over a year when I cut my hair. Will see how this turns out.

Shea Moisture Body Wash broke me out so bad, I can almost cry.
My skin is so scaly and dry. My SO threw it away for me. I'm going back to the Dove For Sensitive Skin. I slathered myself in Aveeno/Aquaphor and I feel so much better.
My skin use to be able to take ANYTHING! Now if I look at it to hard I break out. THIS SUCKS!

I think I'm officially over the whole online natural hair care products/online vendor thing. After my products run out I think I'm sticking to products that I can find on the ground. I came to this conclusion after discovering that care free gold liquid activator moisturizes my hair like nothing else. Why am I buying all these fancy products again? I just feel like it's no longer worth the hassle, money etc...

I'm gonna rick my flat twists for a few days. Not really in the hair mood. I'll moisturize and seal daily though.

I ditched the satin cap. I just use a satin pillow case now. I started doing it because wearing the cap was becoming uncomfortable. Now two months later my edges are much happier. I always had edges so I was shocked to see that they could actually get thicker and longer.

I took my two twists out, they were looking flat on the side of my head and I just did a regular ponytail pulled back and tucked my ends. It kind of looked like that anyway with the twists lol. I then double moisturized and sealed and detangled again. It's much easier to detangle on wet hair and not almost dry hair because I was struggling a little bit to not break any hair. Even though I spritz it, it was drying as fast as I was spraying it.

I hope my ends look good when I relax in 5 weeks because sometimes when your hair is almost dry you get shrinkage (even though your relaxed ) and the ends don't add up right but I haven't suffered any breakage but you never know......

I have finally decided on the relaxer I will use next touch up JaneBond007 thank you for recommending Silk ELements Mega Silk but if it doesn't do right by me I'm coming for you. I cannot afford any more setbacks, not after this 4 months stretch.
May I ask JaneBond007 what is your hair type and how quickly does it process your hair to give you bone straight results?
