Corrective Relaxer

I thought I nipped it in the bud this time. While my hair was still wet, I noticed I still have some wavy strands. All I can say is I'm very disappointed and I put my hair shaft on the line for doing this corrective relaxer. But on an up note, I can say my roots are really straight and no weird after relaxer breakage..yah me!!! :)

Early A.M._ Before Hair Wash 4 Weeks New Growth

A lot of people ask how long before you can tell your hair is growing. At my third week my scalp was feeling rough, but it wasn't my scalp, it was my new growth coming in. To the date, today is my 4th week post relaxer and its a little noticeable by camera. I'm planning on relaxing on my 8th week. My last stretch was 16 weeks and that was a little too much to handle relaxing alone. I'm planning on correcting what I missed last time and catching all new growth this time around.

.......................3 1/2 days post relaxer!!

These pics R 3 1/2 days post relaxer and I can tell that my bang thickness has grown down a bit. The first pic was taken in the am before the wash and the other one was taken in the pm after the wash. No more hair cuts, I'm only dusting now but its still tempting, lol. As I notice my hair is thicker and fuller on the left side and for some reason my hair is shorter and somewhat thinner on side. That weird because my hair is usually longer on the right. The reason may be because I favor to sleep on my right side. Time to rotate!

It's Windy Today!!

Ok, the weather is crazy here in MS, cold with snow flurries one week, the next is shirt-tail weather. Besides being able to leave home without a coat or light jacket, its windy. Its more windy today than yesterday. So today when I left the house I decided to wear a scarf because I'm 3 days post relaxer and I'm not trying to get my hair in a tangled messed and set-back my journey.

15 Weeks Post Relaxer

Ok, I have one more week left before I tex-lax, I'm currently 15 weeks post and I can't wait to try Silk Elements relaxer. I will hopefully pick that up sometime this week while I'm in prep mode. Now its time to step up my game to a little protein on my next two washes. My hair hates protein, and still prone to breakage whenever I use it.

Finding Another Hair Style

I'm trying to find some different styles for the season. Bunning is impossible for my hair length & bulk and I really don't care for it. The twists are working but I don't think I will bantu knot the ends anymore. I am now 7 weeks post relaxer. I usually go 12 weeks, but I want to go longer. I have a birthday coming up at the end of January and I don't want to be traveling with new growth and I'm pretty sure I won't have time to baby my hair. It depends on how manageable my new growth will be. If it gets out of hand, hopefully I will come up with something before mid January.
