Aggie looks good! I love big hair too

Okay, update on my texlaxer experience after dcing. It was amazing! I love how much more stretch I have in the curl pattern.
I just flat ironed it and wearing like this for the rest of the day. It is so soft and bouncy.
Here are pics of my texlaxed results today and you can see my hair was already starting to revert to curly in the second pic:

No matter what PinkPebbles, I tend to wash and DC every week. I can manage the new growth better this way by keeping it continually treated and moisturized.
I think the further you get into your stretch, your hair needs even more love and attention to control tangling and breakage. My hair revolts if left alone too long and I end up losing more hair whenever I do decide to wash and DC. Not pretty

9 weeks and relaxing this weekend!
My stylist passed away in December and the last relaxer she did on me was in June, so my relaxer in September was done by a friend but it didn't take, then by my mom in November and was underprocessed, then by a new stylist in January and she only put it in and took it out (only smoothed a bit at my request) and now it's very underprocessed. So I decided to take matters into my own (and DH's) hands and do it myself. I've been reading on corrective relaxers and I will pull the relaxer to the underprocessed parts for the last 5 minutes.
I did an Aphogee 2 step treatment yesterday and put my hair into braids. Today I took the front out and blended it into my curly wign (creta girl). I will be slightly blowdrying the hair today so I can see where the newgrowth, the underprocessed and the straight parts are. My aim is not to be bonestraight all over but to have a somewhat similar texture allover.

12 weeks today and relaxing on June 2, around 23 weeks post. I braid my hair w/o extensions and cornrowns my hair about every 2-4 weeks so that way it is easier for me to stay out of my hair and just moisturize my hair

danysedai, Sorry to hear about your stylist. I hope self-relaxing works out for you. I also do my own. Once you start doing your own relaxers you won't go back. You can neutralize as many times as you feel necessary, do your protein treatments how you want them, etc.

Lynnerie, thanks for your encouragement! I appreciate it because right now even as I was typing it I started to doubt myself (what if it comes out awful, what if it starts breaking) and even wanted to text a friend to try to find another stylist. But you are right, this is the last thing I need to learn how to do myself, I dye my hair, I rollerset, flat iron,etc. I also want to get a pair of hair scissors to trim. I just need to get the confidence.
Also thanks for what you said about my stylist,she was a dear friend. She was only 41, left behind a 5 yr old daughter. She was so full of life, always laughing and dancing. I still tear up when I hear a bachata (she was dominican).

I'm around 9 weeks post but it feels like so much more
I finally realized that my hair does not like aloe based products which was causing my hair to be dry. Hopefully with this new found info I'll be able to stretch another 4 weeks...
