Relaxed Hair Thread

really!? thats awesome! the only olaplex you can buy in the US is no. 3 without a license
I'm taking a long weekend trip to London and going to take the train into Paris for a day in a couple of weeks. Can you recommend a couple of shops that carry olaplex? do you know if is it the same in the UK?

Scurl actually works! I used it on my natural hair but it didnt work (my natural hair hated everything anyways). But last week I traded in my NTM for some Scurl and wow! I sprayed it after I washed my hair and my hair was stayed soaked for 24hrs. My hair normally only stays wet like that after it's deeply moisturized. I've been using it every other night and sealing with a small amount of oil. My new growth is softer too. This is a keeper so long as they don't change the formula.

Interesting. The s curl I remember had such an over-powering smell and I couldn't take it. Does it still smell strong?

I bought mine on https://www.bleulibellule.com/olaplex.html

They also have a shop in Paris, rue Rambuteau.
 
Ladies could this be a fluke? I washed and conditioned my hair today. I sprayed some Scurl on my roots.. my hair doesn’t feel bone dry! I was generous with the spray too. I applied my WGO to my scalp, and my DE hydrience serum to my ends and hair shaft. My hair feels really nice right now. I hope I can get similar results tomorrow.
I wanna try the DE STS (it’s a silkening/strengthening system) basically it is texture smoothing treatment. I was reading through a thread, and Britt stated it will leave a coating on your hair. Well the last time I used a TST it caused a serious setback and irritated my scalp. I have bald patches. I won’t totally blame the product, but it coated my hair and left it hard and brittle, like I applied a hardening glue..

so it will be really nice if I can find a product that will truly moisturize my hair.

I’m going to drink water like crazy and take my vitamins. Oh my saving grace product is DE Restore Vitamin Treatment!

if you like to juice, id say do one bunch on clery and one apple. works wonders.

Can I just eat it? I like to snack on celery and cucumbers, or is juicing it better? I get lazy when it comes to juicing.

you could, but thats alot to eat everyday and i feel the magic really happens when you juice literally one entire bunch of celery amd an apple juiced gets you about 16oz of juice. and you should drink on empty stomach and wait 20 min or so before eating after
 
The whole middle section of my hair in the crown on Down is texlaxed... the rest is bone straight... I feel like cutting all of my hair off, or cutting it to SL today. Just how I’m feeling today... I’m gonna push through.. I don’t understand how people go through this.. lol ok I’m just venting... having a bad hair day.
I washed my hair yesterday and didn’t have a bad wash day. I didn’t care for the detangling. I trimmed my hair a bit. I believe my hair grew, and I was probably cutting growth. My ends weren’t blunt. I like blunt ends.
There is really no product that can save me. I just have to be patient. I’m not gonna focus too much on my hair at this point. I’m gonna focus on my mannequin and learning how to do different protective styles.

Aww :bighug:

Can you put in a PS? Maybe some extensions so that you don't have to see your hair for a while?

My hair can’t handle that right now.. I just put it in a bun and walk away.. just trying to resist the urge to cut it all off. I would have to anyway to match all of these bald spots.. it would be stupid To cut it short and still have visible bald spots. The top is dry and the bottom is damp
And here is a spot around my nape.

Hmmm your spots look like my parts, seriously. I don't see anything aesthetically repelling or remotely shocking in them. In fact I bet that no one can notice them under any circumstances, unless you point them out.
As long as they are filling in and you can comb a few strands over them, you should be okay.

And btw, long hair can hide spots, short hair can't, specially if it's natural because it shrinks up and leaves the adjacent areas exposed.

You make me feel better. Thank you xoxo
 
ITA with the ladies @shortdub78 . I’m looking for spots and I don’t see anything, sis.

If you’re still feeling bad about it, are you opposed to rocking wigs? It’s a good way to baby your hair while protecting it. That’s my 2018 plan. And you know how we love those short pixie cuts, you can rock pixie wigs. :)
 
Hey ladies!
I do have a go to pixie wig and a bunch of nice head wraps that I do wear when I need to go somewhere important. I have a slap cap too.
I’m gonna work on my braiding skills, so my cornrows can last and look a little better to my liking. I don’t trust, or feel confident with anyone in my hair right now. I’m gonna hold on! Thank you for providing me some comfort. The spots have been filling in since Oct, But I was really starting to notice the thinness of my hair.
 
I just paid for a year of Fotki. I thought maybe there would be some ladies on there but that place is a ghost town! And the old pix I see are primarily natural ladies. To make matters worse, the reason I paid was to access my old hair journal notes and those are gone!! :mad:

So I guess I have to search here and BHM to find out what the heck I was doing for that year that my hair grew from SL to darn near MBL! I’m sure I was a part of some challenges or something...

ETA: Now that I think about it, that was when I started taking MSM. I had a new stressful job and was not as consistent as I could’ve been so it had to be the MSM. That’s also when I put on the most weight. Darn vitamins do that! So now I have to decide between long, beautiful hair or love handles and back rolls. :confused:
 
I'm so glad I've started keeping a hair journal again.

It really keeps me straight with what I'm doing with my hair. I'm dc'ing with Nexxus Emergencee right now. I initially thought it was a Humectress week, but nope, Emergencee time according to my notes.

I also keep track of the different oils I used to seal with each week. I want my hair to get the benefits of all my oils. I decided to rotate the oils weekly. This week is coconut oil. Next week will be jojoba. So much easier not having to rely on my memory!
