Relaxed Hair Thread

[FelaShrine]

should be a sticky.

The brown could be a sign of porosity issue or the sun turning your hair brown. I confirmed this theory with my stylist. There was a thread on it. I will see if I can find it.

I had several brown patches before my recent haircut. I have another patch remaining. I will eventually chop it too. The brown hair has poor porosity and is always drier than the rest.

Ladies, I bumped the red/brown hair thread.

Did a search and destroy and immediately M&S my hair last night. Felt so good today!

Thank you for bumping that red hair thread. I think I've figured out what's turning my hair brown. Someone wrote this:

Relaxers make my hair a reddish color and ACV rinses made it even worse. When I stopped them it got a lot better.

I don't think my hair is overprocessed and my hair is very non-porous but I do spend a lot of time in the sun.

This would make sense. I don't believe my hair turned brown before I started using ACV. It may also be the sun. I don't believe I'm overprocessed.

ETA: Or it could be due to the heat from my hood dryer (I rollerset weekly) or a porosity issue.

I would definitely purchase two jars or a big tub for future use. I relaxed below shoulder length hair, above APL, and used what looked like more than ur average jar ( I bought a tub).

Thanks ladies

lamaria211. When my hair is loose I'm a daily cowasher. As long as the hair is not damp you should be fine.

Mines doesn't be as straight as I ant it either, and if I wear a ponytail I still gave to use some type of control paste, jam or gel and that's the spot I get the relaxer put on first

My relaxer came with 2 applications. I used both jars and I still had a little left over.

Thanks how long is your hair?

It was APL when I relaxed it the other day but I cut it because it was uneven and I had some split ends.

 

[lamaria211]

OK I'm definitely going to get another one before I do it rather be safe than sorry thanks ladies

I've been watching a bunch of relaxing tutorials on YouTube. Is it just me or does Shima need to be drug tested

Me to!! whether I was trying to get bone straight or texlaxed I still end up with this big poof of hair in the back where its supposed to be straight. Its like my hair is resistant to relaxers back there.

Sorry to attack you ladies with questions but does anyone put oil on their hair or in the relaxer prior to relaxing? Tia
