Relaxed head checking in. I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant so I'm about to do a super long stretch until May or later. Trying to get back on my regimen of weekly DC/ rollersets.
Anybody have any miracle products/techniques for dealing with massive new growth/different textures? I'm trying to avoid heat as much as possible

I want touch up my hair with Creme of Nature, Straight from Eden relaxer as I did last time but its not available at any of the Walgreen's in my area. Its totally out of stock. The BSS in my area doesn't carry it at all...I wonder if I should just use another brand...

I've never seen it at Walgreens. The last time I used it, I purchased it from Sally's online.

I can't tell the difference between the new growth and textlaxed hair, it just all looks coily until I reach the bone straight hair. Ughh #texlaxedproblems.

Hmmmm, the Sally's I go to doesn't have it. I will look for it on their website. I want to do my hair tomorrow but I may have to wait.

The store I've been to doesn't have it either that's why at the time I had to purchase it online which was annoying.

I'm so jealous! I can't wet bun to save my life! No matter what I do, pins, ponytail holders, bun makers, whatever, my ends fall down

irisak, I'm so glad to see you're still here. I got so busy between going back school, teaching 2nd grade, surgery this past Spring and now 31 weeks, 4 days pregnant. I can't even do my own hair. At first I was just too tired and now I'm just too big and uncomfortable. Somehow, I still have hair, I only wear ponytails and buns between styling appointments. Baby is coming in January and idk what hormones will do to me then.
NGraceO, that bun is gorgeous!! Do you have a tutorial?? I'd love to try it.
Just last week LC
Hubby and I did a quick anniversary/baby moon last weekend.
I've missed you ladies!!

Today's wash day was extremely rushed. I only did a shampoo, deep condition, then braid out as my style. And now I'm sitting under the dryer for at least 10 minutes to speed up my drying time before I go to bed because my silly self decided to wait til the last minute to do my hair

Attempting to stretch these roots is becoming a chore. The ssk's have begun. I love roller sets but it does not stretch the roots and flexi rods have been an epic fail. I really don't want to flat iron either, last time I did I had to crank it up to 400 just to get it straight and it reverted a day later. I guess I'll just try tension blow drying on cool and see how that goes.

KaramelDiva, congrats! You look great.
missyrayne19, I'm at a point where it's better for me to skip wash day than to rush.
flyygirlll2, does tension blowing drying on cool help?
SuchaLady, you can do it!

DivaChyck I have the Kiss Handless blow dryer which has the cold button. I like this blow dryer, last time I used the tension method with a denman brush and had decent results. I just bought Kenra blow dry spray and Redken Anti- Snap leave in to use for my next wash. I thought about flying out to see my mom to get my hair done but then I found out she's been out of work and needs to have knee replacement surgery so......this DIY will just have to continue.

Congratulations!
I would look at the transitioning without a BC thread. It's not what you want to do but they have many suggestions about taking care of 2 textures.

That's a gorgeous wig danysedai I don't know of a good alternate. Paging EnExitStageLeft
Hope mom's surgery goes well flyygirlll2.
divachyk normally I do too but my scalp freaks out on me if I don't wash it every week. That's why I just did the basics.
I tried a new DC too and while my new growth was likethe rest of my relaxed hair was like
missyrayne19, totally understand. Does it itch or flake?

I can't stop touching my hair. I love this freshly relaxed status. Everything is just better. I can detangle every day with ease especially in the shower. Ahhhhhmazing! Lol

Oh honey! That bob is life.
I say try the 21tress or Its A Wig brand. They're the only "cheaper" brands with bobs that I give a second look. They have multiple options in multiple colors.
