Rozlewis Certainly I will. I'm a little disappointed I've not passed BSL but I know I will in Dec when relax again and i'm excited now that I have self relaxed and I got great results and I am more confident that I will do better even the next time.

I even mildly corrected my under processed hair that the stylist messed up for the first 2 relaxers.

I am glad to hear about your successful experience with self-relaxing. I need the motivation because I am going to self-relax in a couple of weeks. I usually go to the salon but with all of this new growth I think the stylist would be too rough so I am going to take matters into my own hands.

Hi emada,

That ABP is the bomb.com. I placed another order and I really do not need anything. This wash day I tried soothing different I layered all of her products. I started with the leave-in conditioner (L), then the Ayurvedic oil (O), and last the hair creme (C). My hair is up in a bun and will be like that until Tuesday when I cowash but right now it is so moisturized. I love her products.

It is nice that you have noticed more growth than usual. That is a good feeling. I am a little style challenged. I don't do much besides twist-out, buns, and french rolls. I want my hair to get a little longer and then I will wear it out more and experiment with different styles. For now, I mainly keep it up.

APB has been a nice surprise. I wasn't too big on all the natural companies but I noticed since I got her products I've using them exclusively. They really do give a nice balance. I have plenty of oils which is why I didn't get her oils, but her leave ins and hair cremes/lotions/puddings have been very nice. I love that they're not too greasy.

Yes styling has been challenging for me. I used to experiment so much with my hair but I've calmed down with that because I am bit older LOL. That's what I've been trying to challenge myself with. I have a Pinterest board with some easy styles, especially since my hair is at a bit of an awkward length.

I loved wigs for a while but now I think I may be growing out of them so I'm a bit lost on what to use next. I would prefer a long term protective style so I'm not in my hair too much. I'll have to think on it for a bit.

A little over 8 weeks post. Already made my appointment for the end of the month and maybe a trim; I have decided to have a full relaxer done.

11 weeks post this week, one more to go to reach my goal. But my hair has been behaving nicely so I may go until 16 weeks as long as there is no revolt up there!

Well ladies, thought I would keep going on this stretch but just realized I have a wedding shower to go to tomorrow and I need to do something with my hair! Although I try to look my best everyday, I feel like I need to relax tomorrow morning so I look and feel my best for this shower. I am also on my cycle and I know, for me, major decisions should never be made while my hormones are running rampant. However, I think I may end this stretch, which at 11 weeks is still really good, in my opinion. The only other option is to super glue my hair down (use gel) to get a sleek faux bun on the back side.
