I really want to relax my hair!! I'm 11 weeks post and my new growth is so high maintenance. I have 4 more weeks to go so I think I'll just straighten my hair after I clarify and deep condition tomorrow. I didn't want to use heat until I relaxed but I'm liking pretty unkempt an I can't take it

mschristine I hear ya!!! I'm 10 weeks post and am trying not to relax until Nov.2, which will be 12 weeks. Hopefully the Kera Veda oils will help with managing my new growth for at least two more weeks.

mschristine,
Straightening might help with your stretch. It certainly helps me.
ElegantElephant,
KV oils are meant to help your hair grow.... So good luck with that lol. I bought them not only for that reason, but also because I like Ayurvedic products from my pre journey and beginning of my journey days. Last, these deshi women by where is live have tone doing something right.

First wash day as a newly relaxed lady and I must say I am so happy to did it!
I did an egg prepoo then washed with shea moisture shampoo then dc with ors replenishing....now i have a damp bun.....my hair is so smooth, shiny, and strong
I am going to try to at least try to rotate between a protective style one week and then a style with my hair out/down the next week so I can retain and still get to see my length....f
Since next week is my out week maybe I can try to rollerset.
Hmmmm....anyway so excited

Now that is what I want!!!! Pretty, full, BIG braidout.......You look like your natural, they type of natural texture that I would not mind having
did you do it on dry, damp or wet hair?........and what products did you use?....
I just cannot get my braid out to stand up and out like that. I WANT BIG HAIR...are you texlaxed? This may be my problem, I am not bone straight, but not what I would call texlaxed, more like 75 -80 % straight.

Mande30 – Im like you 70-80% straight, lol, I do it on lightly damp hair, meaning, my hair is fully dry and then I use a liquid leave in or a little water to dampen it. I then use a cheapie conditioner usually V05 , a cream hairdress and some oil, I used Jojoba for this one. I then to one braid with the front of my hair and then 4 more braids in the back, I use perm rods on the ends of my hair , wrap it then go to bed.
Sounds way more labor intensive than it is, lol

REPOST: I posted this question in the BSL thread but I didnt get any responses.
Can anyone recommend a moisturizing shampoo that is similar to shea moisture, moisture retention shampoo? I LOVEEEE that shampoo but I use so many bottles a month that its getting too pricey. The problem is you dont get enough ounces for the price.

I straightened my hair to keep from relaxing but my nape is still experiencing so much breakage. This has been an ongoing issue for so many years. I feel like I've tried everything and nothing is helping. I just don't know what else to do anymore

Hey buddy. I can only give you advice from my experiences. Whenever I notice any breakage in my nape area, I know it is either from:
-my jewelry catching my hair- Stopped wearing anything that would catch-hard to toss some things, but I like my healthy hair better- or you could just turn the necklace into a nice braclet.
-my nape rubbing up against rough fabric- placed satin scarf over rough collars
-snatching my pony tail holders off- remove them gently and slowly now, like peeling them off
-not enough attention given to that area- purposely M & S the nape every night
-clogging the pores of the scalp (at the nape) with hair grease, thinking that this would stop the breakage- it made it worse- my scalp is now hydrated everytime that I purposely moisturize & seal (natural, light oil) my NG/roots (every few days)
-leaving the relaxer on the nape too long (I have found that my texture is more loose at the nape.) place the relaxer on the nape for the last few minutes
Hope this helps some.
