Relaxed Hair Thread

I use the ours pack weekly, I think that's a light protein . I have never used a heavy one.

I wear my hair out 5 days a week and I don't experience any breakage

Thanks for that information. My husband really likes my hair out so it is good to see someone else have success with that.
 
14 weeks post this week, washed and deep condition yesterday and it felt great! Will be relaxing in October, not sure exactly when..

HHG Ladies :)
 
I bought aunt Jackies knot on my watch detangler and i really like it!

It comes in a regular bottle not a spray one, so I mixed a 6oz spray bottle half water half product. It deta angles like a dream.

I clariflifed my hair today wow it feels so much better. I should go back to doing that on my once a week washes.
 
I just wanna make a point. Some relaxed heads (like me) need to PS for healthy (no breakage) retention. Without protecting my ends there will be no progress for me to show. But ppl keep telling me that I dont need the wigs to get my length. So, I tried it. I went 20 weeks with no wigs. Wore my hair out or an occassional pin-up for 20 weeks then got a relaxer. Not only did my retention suck but I also received breakage at the nape that gives the thinning look. Now I have to cut 2 inches and start again. Smh With that said, lemme throw my wigs back on & do what I've always known that worked for ME.

GIRL!! I'm so sorry you're having a setback!!! :sad: I know you enjoyed bun droppin' on them here and there, but I'm with you ENDS MUST BE PROTECTED. I enjoy wearing my hair out a week after relaxer and then I'm right back to buns and French braids. But I have an idea for you. You have serious motivation and discipline when it comes to high retention via low maintenance of wigging it. I know I speak for a lot us who LOVE YOUR PROGRESS PICS :love:. So er um, why don't you start your own challenge of hiding your hair for the next quarter? :yep:

Lol! That sounds like a good idea. Maybe when I get a cut at my next relaxer & start fresh. ;)
 
Wishing my hair would grow longer faster. I have six inches to APL :( that's forever from now. Ill probably grow another 1.5 inches by the end of this year. I'm so jealous of all these ladies with swanging locks of hair.

I'm starting to feel like it is easier to grow long hair if natural.
 
What's going on y'all? I'm not seeing these negative relaxed hair comments. I'm ready to relaxed bun drop with an over the shoulder hair flip all up in here! LOL!
 
lol @ people still being mad over relaxed hair in 2013. chile..

should i even ask where :ohwell:

anyway i used the Komaza matani leave-in last wash day. So far i like it. I def wanna get the spray. Jen suggested it and I do think it would be good for me..
 
Ok sooooo how do I baggy cause for the first time, my ends need it until Im able to get it cut. I pray it wont backfire with soggy ends & then break off anyway. Lol
 
Say if you got an inch and half of new growth because you used a growth aid, but it's only been 4/5 weeks since your last relaxer, is it ok to rerelax or?
 
First of all divachyk you made me order $80 of bulk teas today... My shedding better reduce... Lol

Haven't washed my hair in 2 weeks...:( we moved, and I lost my conditioning cap in the process... Had to order another one but its taking forever to arrive

againstallodds girl... I bought the kanechom cos of you.... Lol... All you PJ pushers... It better work.. Lol

I'm probably 8 weeks post not... Nt relaxing till mid October... May need to put my hair in box braid by the week end so I make it there without harm to my hair.

I wore my hair out once this week... Felt weird... Felt dry... Back into my buns...
 
All together I've not been taking much care of my hair and I need to get back on it.... School, life has been hectic... + I'm putting on weight, don't know why.... Feeling down altogether... Clothes don't fit... :(

Spill the beans! What growth aide you using? And me personally would at least wait 6 weeks if you have to relax.
