I'd be bald with scabs @suchaladay
Many, many years in the game and it's been working so far.
Do as LHCF says, and not as I do

Maybe because I use a relaxer for sensitive scalp

I've had a huge jar (the one with the pump) for more than a year and just started using it consistently. I think it's going to be my winter moisturizer, too.

I do too. But then again, I've never burned. Don't know why.

I never used to base my scalp until I started to self relax since I'm still a newbie to it. I do it as a precaution at this point since I'm doing my hair myself.

it's not super thick! Like you can rub it in and it's not greasy or heavy. It soften my hair and just didn't sit on top.

I'd be crying, bald and scabbing.

That stuff is protein, I believe. I stayed away from it as a natural. Get out your moisturizer!

yeah I know. I don't need protein like that anyway, so I'm just going to throw it out. No sense in keeping it around. I will use another moisturize and I'm washing my hair tomorrow.

I moisturized my hair this morning and it feels better.

That's good. I get a little nervous for ladies when I hear about possible protein issues. Glad you caught it in time to correct it.
I do like to keep a little protein leave in on hand to rub in every week or so. I thought protein was good for relaxed hair. I've been using Infusium since I've started the HHJ to add in some when needed. It's been good to my relaxed hair too. I've remembered that Cantu to be a pretty heavy protein so I was always too scared to try it.

I feel so much better seeing all of you that don't base. I never base my scalp, don't burn, and use no lye.

yeah I got it together! Thanks for looking out! I used it a lot last year. It wasn't the best then either. I feel like washing my hair today, but I'm going to wait to get back on my schedule.

When I used no Lye I didn't base and didn't have issues. But always had issues with lye.

I'm 10 weeks post and I need my hair to look amazing next weekend. The struggle!

you put some oil in it?

Oh no, done with what?! Don't do it, Ms. Celie!
Maybe you can slap a wig on while you slowly detangle in sections. I agree with adding oil for slip as opposed to something water based. GL!

I don't use cantu alone. I put a little on at night (focus on the ends), spray my hair with Taliah Waajid Protective Mist Bodifier and seal with Taliah's oil (mostly the ends). Then I place a plastic conditioning cap, followed by a sleep bonnet on my head. That's my routine 4-5 nights out of the week unless I'm wearing my hair down.
Edit: Before I rediscovered Cantu, I was using Shea Moisture C&H curl and style milk. I think Cantu is working so far because I use the GHE method; my hair is always super moisturized in the morning. If I weren't doing that, then Cantu might cause a problem.

Yes, but I still had some knots. Live and learn.

Thx ladies for your input. With no lye I wouldn't dare because I always burn but with this Mizani mild butter blends I'm seriously considering. Maybe instead of double basing (the night before and the day of) I will just lightly base my scalp.
