Relaxed Hair Thread

[flyygirlll2]

I am 2 weeks posts and my hair is starting to get thick again! I think the castor oil is making that possible. I have been pre pooing with it, and been doing scalp massages. Plus I wash my hair every few days.

That is very good to hear. Keep doing what you're doing

thanks! I'm not complaining, but I'm not ready for thickness and growth just yet! Lol I mean I just texlaxed my hair! I planned on waiting until February to touch up, but it may have to be January.

I'm 18 weeks post and would really love to make it to 24. I'm wear wigs so I think I can make it. That is, if wash days don't become any more hectic than what they already are.

I'm sure your happy to have made it this far. That's really good. My goal in the new year is to relax anytime after 16 weeks.

Cut all those horrible double processed ends off. Hovering right at shoulder lenth because of it

Lesson learned.

Do you use "regular" castor oil or JBCO?

I need some newgrowth so bad. I can't deal with this 3 week post hair

 

[Babygrowth]

I want to relax sooooo bad but then I started thinking about how the heck am I going to style this SL hair. I'm tempted to keep stretching now until December although that may not make much difference.

It might not but then again it just might. You've been doing good this far, just start the year off with a fresh relaxer.

So I used Joico last week under the dryer for 15 minutes and this week just in the shower for 5 minutes. I notice no difference, but I still like it.

You're right. I guess it's time to get on my divachyk shiznick and buy 2 wigs.

Saludable84, thank you! Yes, I'm so happy I've made it this far. I'm really having to pinch myself because 18 weeks is unheard of for me.

Babygrowth, wigs are so amazing now that I'm over the wig phobia. IDareT'sHair told me to own it and that's what I'm doing. Go 'head and get you a few. I'm telling you, once you get one or two, you'll be looking for three or four. It's addicting, I tell you.

I used jbco. It is dark golden in color and not as strong or dark as the extra jbco.

I'm SL and I bun or pin my hair up with some type of cute hair clip. I use Bobbie pins on the sides to keep that hair down and neat. Check out Simply-Sandra on YouTube. She started out with neck length hair and has tutorials on different hairstyles.

shortdub78 awesome YouTube recommendation! My hair looks exactly like hers!

 

[Evolving78]

So I'm on this unofficial personal castor oil challenge. I just massaged my scalp. I won't use any tomorrow or on wash day. I think I said this already but in starting to do the cowashing thing every other wash. I really wanna by APL without having to trim a ton. I'm following Kim Holden on YouTube! I really like her yt personality and I like her hair! I've been on a hunt to find relatable relaxed heads on YouTube that have videos that have documented their shorter lengths.

divachyk good thing I learned how to do that French twist bun. I deep conditioned late last night and didn't feel like waiting for my hair to air dry all the way. This is what I'm working with this morning. Definitely bunning this up!

So, I cut my hair. I cut about 4 inches. Much shorter now but in love with it again. My ends look super thick and blunt, I can detangle better and the curls from a roller set lay so much better, I can still do a bun. I should have done this long time ago

I will take care of my ends more now, I hope to regain the length I lost by June/July next year.

 

[NGraceO]

Gorgeous!!

Still beautiful. And your hair too lol. So thick and luscious. I love healthy ends.

I don't see shorter hair, I just see healthy hair.

Ok so I am scheduled to get a virgin relaxer December 13th. I'm throwing in the towel on natural hair. Anyway this time around when I get a relaxer it will be a double process as I already have color in my hair. Are there any tips for taking care of both colored treated and relaxed hair?

My hair is bleached (the top & sides), and texlaxed so I suggest you do a protein treatment a week before and the day of the actual relaxer. Otherwise, deep condition and moisturize like your life depends on it. I strongly suggest you do a strand test after you do each process. I did a big no-no, I bleached first, then I texlaxed 2 weeks later. Jesus was with me lol, because I didn't lose much hair. May I ask if you are self-relaxing or going to a salon?

 

[SuchaLady]

Omg I need some newgrowth. I can't deal; this 3 week post hair is pathetic.

Be sure to use a mild relaxer.
