6 Days Post Relaxer "Hair Out" Day
Since my relaxer, I've been wearing protective styles to protect my new relaxer and my scalp from the summer heat. Since our high temp. was 91 degrees with a few clouds, I figured it would be ok to wear my hair out. I should have curled my pin curls a little tighter so my hair wouldn't be on my neck or clothes.

My New Growth is Off the Chain
As of today, June 18th, I am officially 7 days and waiting on my relaxer!! Since I started using Castor oil regularly, my new growth is off the chain and then some. It seems as if my relaxer is 16 weeks instead or 11. I have one more hair wash and the one after that will be my hard core protein treatment, the next day or so will be relaxer day!!

Braidout w/Perm Rods
Ok, its the day before wash day and you know me, it's experiment day.
Since I'm 5 weeks post relaxer, my hair is beginning to looking weird and new growth is popping out; I need to find a different way to do my hair while I'm waiting to relax. With this braid out, instead of using the green magnet rollers, I used the pink perm rods. (had them for years) I rolled my hair in no special direction, as you can see, my hair has taken a shape of its own. Until next time.

Post Damage Length
I'm almost back to my post damage length from early 2008. The pic with the white shirt is Feb. 2008, before I seriously started on my NEW hair journey. The purple shirt is April 2009 and my hair is almost in the same hairstyle, the front is the only difference. April 2008 is when I seriously started on a healthy hair journey.

Memphis City Schools..Spring Break March 2009
I took my nephews to my husband's and I favorite vacation spot...in the mountains for their SpringBreak09. This was my first time washing my hair while vacationing away from home and it felt weird. My hair was sooo dry (4 1/2 weeks post), and I didn't want to have a set-back so I went to the local Walmart to purchase some of the same items I use at home, that were left behind on purpose except for my olive oil mix and Chi. I knew I couldn't walk around on vacation with my hair looking crazy so I finally got on the bus and bought a flat iron. I washed my hair and wet wrapped, put on satin scarf and dried about 10-15% with scarf on with the hotel's dryer, then I flat ironed the next evening. I loved the results and I'm glad I did it. So, the next time I'm traveling, I'm not going to let my hair suffer and not going to miss wash days because I'm on the road.
