Relaxed Hair Thread

[ckisland]

Hi girls. Same ole bun on top of my head over here. Nothing exciting. Work has me so busy but I'm still reading and thanking posts. I also turned 23 yesterday I was too tired to make my hair cute though . Happy birthday to me anyway

Happy birthday!!!

Why did it take me 20 mins to put my hair in a decent bun when I was running lat this morning ? Being natural at this length was easier since I only wore wash n'gos until my hair was creeping up on BSL. Well, no low buns for me for a little while .

Hey girlies!! I can post in here now! I enjoyed my braid out this week. I put my hair in a bun midweek. I plan on trying a twist out this weekend to see how it will look on my texlax hair.

Bought redken extreme strength builder plus to replace aphoghee 2 minute in my regimen after reading justgrowalready's blog review.

Now I'm wary after reading an opposing review. I hope it works I don't need another non helpful protein conditioner in my life.

Anyone else use this product?

I've used this about 3 times and it does what its supposed to do. I leave it on for 15 minutes w/plastic cap under hood dryer. I still follow up w/ a moisturizing DC. I think this is a light/medium protein.

I plan to try crochet braids in about 2 weeks.

I didn't care for it, but my hair like animal proteins in general.

In need of a moisturizing shampoo that leaves nye hair feeling clean, but not "squeaky clean"/stripped. I have highly porous hair.

Any suggestions!?!

I alternate between ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo and Elasta QP Creme Conditioning Smapoo. I've also heard good things about the Cream of Nature Argan Oil Shampoo, but I've never used it personally.

I should have purchased the silicon mix from amazon.com last week.

I have tried bunning for like the past 2 or 3 days, and at the end of the day, hairs sticking out all over the place!!! The short hair struggle is real . Imma go to plan A until my hair's a bit longer. I was suppose to wash today, but I got whisked away, so tomorrow it is. When I oiled my scalp last night, I did notice a little flaking near the crown. One of 2 things may have happened, but I'm not sure yet .

No. Lol just that I ordered from Amazon.com came today, and I should have gotten it when I made the other purchases.

You sound like my friend so I'm gonna give you a side eye.

Have you tried a French roll (quick version though). That seems like it would work and look nice. Or do a style in the front like a braid, twist or those little hump things with the bang area and do a bun in the back to blend the short hairs.

Im not sure of my porosity but thinking back...aphogee moisturizing shampoo is good. I'm going to go back to it.

Learning I should be journaling what works.

Carols Daughter Black Vanilla and Monoi worked really good for me. It was her conditioners that did me dirty every time.

I washed my hair on saturday, used some protein but a good 3'' of my hair towards the ends could really do with some moisture and since my hair dries quickly, i'm thinking to cowash now and throw in some flexi-rods that way my hair stays pretty while SO and i go for a ride later. #Excited much

Why I got to get side eye though?! Sigh. So I should actually try to figure out how to style my hair? That's messed up

Lol. My friend always complaining her hair is too short. I tell her here are many styles for her but she expresses the same sentiments you do. I tell her to enjoy it being short and cute because when it gets longer, it's starts getting a bit harder to style.

There are many cute styles you can do. Your thumbnail had a really cute set. You look like you would look really nice with curly styles. I love my buns, but I can live without them too. They are too much sometimes with the upkeep and retention. That's why I stick with twist outs and curl them up with perm rods. It's makes my hair shoulder length and I like that a lot. Sucks that I'm finally MBL and I love myself with SL hair

Awwwww LOL at you loving your hair at SL! I love my hair curly . I am actually enjoying my hair right now, even though short hair is not my thing. For me short hair takes so much more skill to style. My long hair was so dang easy breezy!!
I am paranoid about my ends rubbing on my clothes though. I'm on youtube now trying to get some style ideas

Yes girl!!!! YouTube saves lives I don't wear my hair down too often, so it doesn't rub too much, but I usually just pull my hair up. You'll be there soon. So are very diligent about your hair care.

Ladies I need your help...I re-relaxed my hair back in dec after being natural for 18 months...I used ors lye my go to relaxer before I was natural and my ends are severely under processed almost texturized the only part of my hair that's straight is about an inch away from my hairline (heat trained) and about 2 inches of my roots the rest look like my picture...I would just let it ride but my hair is in a bob cut and my ends look Soo bushy it ruins the cut....so I've been wiggling it and keeping up my protein moisture balance until my next relaxer day....how can I fix this???? Please help!!!

Queensheba88 IMO ORS has changed its formula. After using for years I finally switched because the relaxer was not giving me the results I desired. I know many on here still love ORS but you may need to find a different relaxer when its time for the corrective.

 

[halfindian]

Wanted to share my bun for this week as I wait my next relaxer. I'm so eager!!! Thanks to the almighty for this brilliant idea!!! My new growth started curling on each other and my hair was a mess!!

Washed my hair in two sections, detangled each section and flat twisted each one. Secured in the back with a ponytail holder. Twisted the end and secured with hair pins.

I need some more clips and hair ties to keep my hair up. Bunning puts too much tension on the shorter layers in the front. Can't wait until my wigs come in the mail =/
