Relaxed Hair Thread

So Im going to celebrate my good interview today by washing and flatironing my hair. If anyone has learned anything about me in this sisterhood we share here in the relaxed thread you will know that I hate washing my hair, styling my hair, and most importantly flat ironing it. It has to be a good day :lol:

Well looks like I picked the perfect day to celebrate. They want me come in tomorrow for a second interview :yep::pray: *cues Marvin Sap Never Wouldve Made It*
 
Im interested in trying tea rinses and ponytail rollersets, do you ladies know of any tutorials or have any advice in these area’s?
 
Just relaxed with Dr miracles regular (I had to give up on the ors) it was a corrective. So far so good but i'll see how it looks when it dries :)

The best one ponytail rollerset I know is by cashia latrice.

I'm on my phone so I can't get the link.

Good luck
 
Well it left my hair nice and shiny but not remotely straight. Left it for the maximum time, smoothed thoroughly... Nope maybe I can't get bone straight. The back of my head still has curls lol I'll try phyto next time :ohwell:

oh wow, that sucks when you stretch and don't get the results you want, i"m not saying you stretched, just in general. i stretched 6 months and ended up with under processed hair in the back which is the coarses,i was so mad

Did you try to correct it next time you relaxed? Yea its pretty frustrating
 
Very pleased with my hair. It's a full BSL. I'm angered because I had demarcation breakage at the very back of my hair (after relaxing mind you :look:) and I know that hair would've been grazing if not hitting MBL. :rolleyes:

SN: I'm never flatironing my hair again. Seriously, I was so annoyed. If I want my hair straightened I'm calling my durn stylist.
 
I'm really considering relaxing my hair this December. I've been natural for 2 years now and it's not for me. My hair was in much better shape when it was relaxed.

I know this thread is a major resource, but dang it's long. :lol: Hello search function.

*SkolarStar* Pull up a chair girl. We love welcoming those in limbo :look: SN do you have this same name on BHM?
 
Is there anyone here who uses Affirm Fiberguard to relax? If so what strength do you use? Do you have good results? Are you texlaxed, staight, or pin/bone straight? Thanks in advance.

BFF is wondering if this will work but I'm not quite sure. I trust the brand but I'm not too familiar with the fiber guard line.
 
Idk what I'm doing with my hair like seriously this is pathetic :rofl: I don't want a relaxer, I don't want to be natural :look:, I don't want to cut it off. No plans of ever dying it so that's out. I'm too lazy to commit to heat straightening. Now what? Pretty soon I'mma roll up in this joint 0 weeks post :yawn:

I know what you mean. Ive been natural since 2010 and still dont know how to deal with my hair and resort to a wig for the majority of the time. I did get a texturizer a few months back so I'm uncertain about relaxing it. Also I work in a school and so many girls have permed heads that look a mess and i dont want that. :( i wanted to stay natural for my daughter but idk anymore.

Me too, girl. Me too. I tried straightening yesterday and when I realized it was going to take all day I was so upset.
 
This may be a little off topic. Does anyone have any suggestions on working out with relaxed hair? I did the search option but wanted more up to date suggestions. Thanks :)

Do any of you know why stretching relaxers causes shedding?

I'm not having any shedding as I am only 3 weeks post but as a newly relaxed lady, I'm just trying to understand the science of it and I just don't get it.....

I don't know, but I had a friend who claimed that her hair shedded a lot when she "needed a perm" but honestly I think it was just breaking because she didn't know how to handle her new growth and relaxed hair so it broke at the demarcation line. syncerelyhis

Thanks girl! Okay that's kinda what I was thinking.....it sounds like breakage.....can anyone else chime in?
 
I don't know, maybe it just seems like it's shedding alot if you are stretching because you aren't combing as much?
 
syncerelyhis I know people often say that shedding is an indication that they need to relax...personally I never understood the correlation. I don't understand what shedding has to do with needing to relax but that doesn't mean it isn't true.

Same here. Your scalp is not programmed to tell you when to relax.
