At first i planned to relax on November the 19th ! But i just can’t ! I feel like my hair is growing like weed, and it is curling around itself ! The thing is my hair handles the stretch until 12 weeks, i can def go there with ease !
but then comes the excessive shedding : i haven’t mastered the 13th, 14th & more weeks !
So here we are, 1 weeks from me hiting the 12 weeks post relaxer ! And i am so hesitating… What do you think? What do you suggest?
My main issue is keeping the ng moisturized, so what i do is spritz my braids every night with a mix i made (following Traycee’s recipe here)
And i keep the braids for 2 weeks, then DC with a moisturizing conditioner. And rebraid after the wash, air dried hair. Then i just wear my wigs… I think i will do my first quick weave so that i keep my mind on something else, lol
Help lovely readers… 🙂
This has nothing to do with your post but I just want to say that I love the way you talk about JESUS on your youtube page. HE is truly awesome! GOD bless!
amen ! Be blessed as well ! and thanks a bunch girl
Hey Nunaa keep on stretching if your hair agrees!! Lol.. je suis retournée dans la boutique dont je t’ai parlé et ils vendent le défrisage Mizani 🙂 Bisous.
Coool 🙂 Merci bcp miss, voilà qui es top 🙂 Gros bisoux Oumi
Girl if your hair handles 12 weeks then thats fine. My hair begings shedding at 9 weeks, and my scalp begins to get itchy. I havent found yet a good way of going past that time. I dont know how to braid as maybe that would allow me to go a little further.
Yes braiding is a help to me, you def may want to try the plaits if cornrow is not working for you…And yeah i am going to go until my 12 or 13 weeks and relax, lol, can’t take it 🙂
Hi: Nunaa I am from Panama and I am 13 week post. What I did was the following: I cowash (Tuesday) with Allways herb conditioner and few drops of pepermint oil, rinse with plenty water, then deep condition with Wellazid conditioner , mix with dove hydrator conditioner, grate some ginger, put some porosity control conditioner, with some pepermint, eucaliptus, rosemary oil. 1 hour with heat.
Afterwards rinse with plenty water.
Then to soften new growth, I apply a mixture of Aloe and cold water (I grate the aloe gel and mix with water, put in the fridge overnight), put some Detangler conditioner (Barkley & …) + Dove cucumber conditioner (quarter size amount) Seal with (2 drops) of 10 en 1 oils. Leave for 1 minute. Do not rinse out. My hair is afterwards easy to comb through.
Nunaa I am protein sensitive, just like you. (Thanks to you I learnd that. So this is why I am sharing what I did just last night in my hair (Oct. 19, 2010.
I Roller set and take out today.
Hey girl ! Thanks so so much, so few people take time 2 share their secrets with me, lool ! I truly appreciate it ! I am def going to check out the Dove cucumber conditioner 🙂
I love what you mix in your DC, this sounds great
Again thanks
