2012 Relaxed Hair Buddy Thread

[KiWiStyle]

I relaxed last weekend but I roller set so I hadn't gotten around to trimming until tonight. Here are the results

I'm not the best self trimmer but it didn't come out too bad if I do say so myself

You did a great job, looks fantastic!!

 

[EbonyCPrincess]

I was thinking of trying HairOne because my pockets can't afford WEN. EbonyCPrincess uses it and a lot of the products she uses on her youtube channel for her hair work for me so it might be my next purchase

mschristine I absolutely love HairOne - I've never tried WEN but I want to just to compare the two. I did try two of the "newer" cleansing conditioners and got HORRIBLE results. Ughhhhhh! Thanks for thinking of me lady!

 

[Cattypus1]

Cool! I went ahead and got my WEN Fig on monthly auto-deliver. I don't use any cheapy conditioners at all. Only WEN. I'm not messing around anymore. I'm ready to hit MBL next year dangit!

I got my Wen yesterday and washed, conditioned and did a twist out...it really was beautiful, soft and defined at the same time. Big hair with no frizz-even at 15 weeks post. I'm sold. I didn't do the auto-ship, I ordered from Amazon. I will order again...as needed-don't need any drama with my money. I love, love, love Wen.

Ok no braids, fresh trim, im wigging to 16 weeks how do I keep my hair from tangling?

I saw your review on the cleansing conditioners and I was convinced to try HairOne. I bought a sample and I really love it. I think I'm going to buy a full bottle soon

I totally hit the "ignore" button on my hair since last Wednesday. I didn't wash, cowash, dc, nuthin! I would look at all that newgrowth and just didn't feel like dealing with it.

I did slap some moisturizer on my ends and bun, so I'm good. Tonight I clarified, moisture shampooed, and I'm doing a moisturizing dc now. Still not feeling my hair though.

Who's relaxing between dec 16 to dec 22? I might need a new buddy

 

[JudithO]

^I'm due to relax on Dec 21.

I need a new buddy y'all... simply because I just finally decided on my relaxing schedule..

Every 8 weeks on Friday of the week... I'm currently 1 week (+2 days) post, and my next relaxer is scheduled for Dec 21.

I expect to gain almost 1 inch with every relaxer before trim, and I'm about 1 inch from BSL.

Im using braids to stretch to 16 weeks this time, (Fresh relaxer for my new soldier!) but 12 weeks is gonna be my norm.

Im braiding tomorrow cause this wednesday was supposed to be my relaxer day, I was going to hit my 10 week mark. Now I'm jumping over all that. Btw I didn't know texlaxed hair had shrinkage

That's your longest stretch ever isn't it? Good for you, girl! I'm texlaxed too and it does indeed shrink just not like natural. I kind of like it though because it makes for a nice surprise when I actually straighten my hair.

 

[KhandiB]

Im good, I relaxed on 10/27 - Im pretty close to BSL, I am going to measure when I flat iron later this week.

Your hair is looking lovely!!

Lovely

KhandiB how are you doing? I touched up on Saturday...results are in my siggy. I am getting closer to BSL!

I'm kinda scared I was supposed to relax at 10 weeks (this wednesday). Im scared when I take the braids out my hair will fall out like leaves in fall.

Random photo opp presented itself so here goes....

Left side braid swooped around to the right side and pinned down. Accessorized with flexi clip. Easy style. I can do this at night. Scarf overnight. No fooling/messing with hair in the a.m. I can get at least 2 days out of this style. If I am careful, I can get about 3 days. I love styles that last for more than one day. It's cooling off tremendously here so this will be one of my staple styles.

Bebe, I see you working that length in your siggy! Looks great! Have you cut all the layers out yet or are you still working on it? Between your hair / body transformation, you're gonna make you dh re-marry you all over again.

Very Cute!! Can you give step-by-step instructions on how to do this?

 

[divachyk]

^^^You ladies make my day! Thanks for compliments.

Comb all your hair to left like you are planning to make a left side pony at the nape. Separate hair in 3 equal sections and braid hair. When you are done, you should have one braid hanging on the left of your head. I secure the end of the braid with a tiny, black rubber band.

Grab the tail and swing it around to right side of your head*** and pin it down with hair pins. Accessorize. Done.

****I try to tuck my ends away as much as possible so my ends are folded under first then I pin hair down.

Hope that made sense. If not, let me know.

baddison - how ya doin? I've been lazy again, but my hair is fine. I think the Wen Fig is really helping me through this stretch. My hair stays moist longer and I don't have an urgent need to cowash every other day if I dont feel like it.

Im about to go clarify/shampoo and dc with Nexxus Humectress. I watch tv on Sunday nights, so I'll let the dc sit for two hours and then rinse.

sunnieb - WHEW!!! Girl this stretch ain't no joke!! Between Hairfinity and Mineral Rich, my new growth is tryna flex some muscle. But I know how to still that "savage beast" ....LOL!! Cowashing and bunning!! Thats it. Just did my monthly henna yesterday, and it really helps with shedding and strengthening the hair. My cruise is coming up, and I'm just gonna self-install some braid extensions for that week. Looking forward to some nice year-end results. Pushing for full BSL by June 2013!!
