Better Late Than Ugly
@YvetteWithJoy if a salon is talking you out of it, meaning they aren't willing to take money from you just because, listen to them.
Learned that from DH a long time ago.

I promised myself I would not put chemicals in my hair until I finished EVERY idea on my checklist.
Sigh.
I forgot about that checklist. I just told hubby, "That's it! I'm done!!! I'm texlaxing, and I don't care if it ends up causing a setback or not. I've got to try it. I'm DONE!!!"
Hubby gently guides me upstairs and pulls me over to my unopened bag of henna and says, "You can't. I'm not going to let you. You haven't tried everything on your checklist, including this henna stuff, right? So tonight I'll look after the little ones. You make a date with your natural hair. Meet up in the shower and y'all just reconnect. Because you're just frustrated right now. This is not a suggestion, this is a command."
Sigh.
OMG!!! *runs around waving hands* You read my mind!! I literally JUST came back to this thread to tell yall, I just found it, girl!Olaplex dupes:
ION Color Brilliance Absolute Perfection Booster No. 1 and Color Sealer No. 2
Schwarzkopf Fibre Plex no.1 and no. 2
Ultra Bond Seal
And dangit...there was another system I saw recently and can't remember the name to Google it. It was in a white bottle with red writing and there were several ones for home use and salon. I thought one of them was the "Rorexx" or something like that. If anybody knows, could you please tell me?
Good choice @YvetteWithJoy. I know how to do mine well so I continue only when my hair is acting crazy. As long as she's acting right, I don't touch the creamy crack.
Thanks for the support and encouragement, ladies. I called the hair salon to start asking questions about texlaxing, and the lady talked me down from a texlaxer. She doesn't recommend that I do something so permanent and chemical-based, since chemicals were eating up my hair in the past.
Where's the emoticon for walking over to your bed, crawling in, and throwing the covers over your head?
I'm going to sleep on it and taking everyone's advice to proceed cautiously and wait until I'm less emotional before doing anything too new. I'll DC with Bekura Y.A.M. and put it out of my mind for the day.
Thanks again.
Hair!
That's too funny. I only think it is now myself but that's only because it is not coloring my more textured hair like it did my fully relaxed hair.AWWWW. He's a sweet husband. But henna is the debil if you like to experiment with chemical color ....
I saw it in the wypipo section in my Target and decided it was not meant for me to research or take one for the team [/QUO
If it was next to the Rose Peace, leave it right there!
Now that is a good stylist. She actually cared about you hair and not the money!! Wish there were more like her.Good choice @YvetteWithJoy. I know how to do mine well so I continue only when my hair is acting crazy. As long as she's acting right, I don't touch the creamy crack.
Thank you so much !Happy birthday @Pokahontas
OMG!!! *runs around waving hands* You read my mind!! I literally JUST came back to this thread to tell yall, I just found it, girl!
It's called Continuum Ro Maxx Quantum Creator. It seems like there are several products...? I'm unclear on that.
I dyed the front of my hair. I really like the color this Garnier Nutrisse left behind.
Thank you!Pretty @shawnyblazes Is your hair hennaed (is that a word)? The colour took really well.
Ladies, where are we buying wigs from these days? Any suggestions?
I went to Hairsisters but the site seemed different - kinda sparse.
I wear synthetic either kinky/curly or short Halle-type styles. I'm looking to buy longer straight styles but shorter than my hair (MBL).
I'm not interested in lace fronts as I don't know how to do them justice. LOL
I like wig types
@GettingKinky I'm not sure. It was grazing butt Crack length in June but I trimmed about 2 inches then. It seems as though those inches are back. I'm contemplating a blow out in about 2 weeks so I should get more confirmation then.@toaster how long is your hair?
