Ok, which one of y'all keeps buying up all the Garnier Whole Blends Hydrating Conditioner Coconut Water & Vanilla Milk from my CVS?

Seems like ever since I raved about it on here, they can't keep any in stock! Imma stop raving about products.



Not really. Can you just leave me 2 bottles please???? :)

What do you all recommend to mix in a relaxer? I know a lot of people do oil but anything else? And thanks @sunnieb

When I used to mix, I added Aussie Moist along with the EVOO. I like that it's full of cones and it also helps the relaxer to smell better.

**I've stopped mixing into my relaxer and just put it on my hair instead since it's easier for me to control how the perm processes.

Got a relaxer this morning - I'm still around full shoulder length after a trim. I really miss being a healthy BSL, so I need to work hard this year.

You and me both!

I can see my length creeping back every time I relax. It's just so slow! I want my hair back now, but know it's a waiting game.....

Hoping for full shoulder length by the end of this year so I can hit APL next year.

I haven't used Aphogee 2 step for years. That kind of hard (and quite frankly unpleasant) protein isn't really necessary for me anymore thankfully.

Just as long as I keep on top of my protein treatments I'm fine.

I'm going to touch up tomorrow at 13 weeks, going to spend today prepping my hair.

Tonight's hair routine:

Prepoo with EVCO
Clarified with Suave
Shampooed with Nexxus Emergencee
Dc'd with Nexxus Emergencee (added a little honey)
Air dry

I ran out of my Shea butter mix a few days ago. Need to mix another batch tomorrow. :yep:

Out of curiosity, what were you using prior?

ORS Olive Oil

Ive been looking for the Nexxus (Polymedic Emergency Reconstructor) this past weekend (I have a little bit of Dudley’s DRC 28 left that I’m trying to preserve) and couldn’t find it in the 5 BSS I went to. They all said the same thing - it’s been discontinued. :nono:

It's so irritating when companies do this.

My hair is luxuriously soft this morning!

I'm always a little cautious when doing protein treatments because I think my hair will get too hard.

So, I know the combo I did in my previous post works to keep the softness I want while getting protein my hair needs.

What was wrong with Olive Oil?
I currently use Hawaiian Silky mild relaxer (lye). It was the only one I could find in mild in the beauty supply store when I started relaxing my hair.
My hair has been breaking, I suspect it's the demi parmanent dye I have been using but I can't rule out the relaxer either.
