Relaxed Hair Thread

Relaxed my hair yesterday. Ended up with more texture than I wanted for the back but overall it turned out well. I'm pleased with my results.
 
I normally do base however I just relaxed my hair on Friday with Affirm Fiberguard Mild and I didn't base. This relaxer is amazing. It still leaves me with a little bit of texture and I love it.

Here are my results...

I had a hair appointment Saturday for a flat iron but my stylist cancelled. Not happy. I ended up doing my own wash/blow dry/flat iron and of course it isn't silky the way she can get it. But my hair is soft and moisturized so I'm happy about that.

I'm almost 7 weeks post and I'll be doing a braid out or flexi rod set this week.
 
Gonna wash, dc and flat Iron today for the holiday. I bought matrix total results moisture hydration conditioner and I love it!!

After dcing under the dryer my hair feels amazing.
 
Got my hair done today. Really liking the results. I'm back at MBL. I can't go by my current bras because they are nursing bras and sit lower than normal bras. My other bras are more accurate. I've been super lazy after starting the salon brands and I'm glad my hair isn't suffering too much from it.

Thank you. Yeah, I bought as per your recommendation. I really like it. I have a couple more uses of the Humecto and I'll alternate back to it.

Gorgeous!! Nice and full from roots to ends!
 
I'm having a good time looking at the last few pages of the relaxer posts and reminiscing on how I used to MAKE the time to do my hair! Oh, it will return real soon. My stylist did my last relaxer before baby comes two weeks ago. I've been wrapping it since then and yesterday and today doing my moisturizing and pulling back in a pony. I will have another shampoo and set on Thursday afternoon.

My stylist has been using Syntonics mild relaxer on my hair and I LOVE IT. He even uses the accompanying shampoos and conditioners and so far, only good is seen in my hair. I hope it continues after baby and hormones work their number on my hair. Anyone else use Sytonics before? I hadn't heard of it before a few months ago, but its also made by Avalon and I know how much I love my Keracare poo and conditioner so that was a win for me too!
 
KaramelDiva1978 my old hairdresser used to use that and I loved it! I would still go to her if she didn't move to far far away land. I've actually been looking on eBay to buy it. That line had my hair healthy.
 
I'm thinking of relaxing my edges once a year. They're so thin and fine that even with me stretching them 6 months and leaving the relaxer on for like a minutes, I'm still unhappy with them. Anyone else tried this or know someone who has? Not sure if it'll be worth it or not

I'm thinking about relaxing my nape just once a year since I want to try to see if I can grow it longer.

Try it. I've never had an edge problem but I went without a relaxer for about 20 months. Edges were noticeably thicker. So for me relaxed edges didn't/don't equal thinness but it's just the nature of relaxed hair to not be as thick as unprocessed hair.
 
SuchaLady girl, get outta here you wuppa snapper little baby!

If you're a grandma, my 42 year old butt must be in the grave!

SuchaLady unfortunately for me, it's just plain old genetics. Everyone in my family, relaxed or natural, has this problem. My edges are thickest in their natural state so I kinda figure if this yearly relaxing thing doesn't work, I might just transition my edges to become natural :look:

greenandchic if you do decide to go for it, let me know! It'd be nice having someone else who's doing something similiar to me :yep::grin:
