I’ve shared the results of my six month stretch, but this is how the relaxer day actually went down. I was trying to add my snapchat story for you guys to watch at the end of this post, but it wasn’t really working out the way I wanted. Instead, I included screen shots of the whole process.1. Relaxer day started with me gathering everything I needed to get me through the relaxer application process:
The Prep Work.
- Vaseline;
- Summit Sensitive Scalp and Pointed Applicator Bottle;
- Clips for securing my hair in sections;
- Small Hand Mirror to see the back sections as I relax;
- Affirm Fiberguard Relaxer – Sensitive Scalp (2 tubs) and Activator;
- Spatula-like tool for applying the relaxer;
- Rat tail Comb, for parting;
- Gloves;
- Aphogee Keratin 2 minute Reconstructor;
- Mizani Phormula-7 Chelating and Neutralizing Shampoo;
- Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner; and
- my cell phone for its stopwatch.




1. My Mid step Protein treatment was Aphogee Keratin 2 minute Reconstructor and I neutralized with Mizani Phormula-7 Chelating and Neutralizing Shampoo (I need to remember to repurchase my Elasta QP Stop Action Neutralizing Shampoo because not having that shampoo with color alarms makes me a little more nervous about neutralizing).





Great relaxer post hun! This brings back memories. Sectioning the hair before application was my savior when I was texlaximg because my new growth would always tangle badly.
Thanks, Tracey. 🙂
Thanks, Tracey. 🙂
Wow your hair came out so thick. I noticed for your protective styles you did a lot of buns. Do you create the buns and take down at the end of the week or do you take down the buns every day moisturize then recreate the buns?
Great blog
Thanks, Kaira. I do loosen my buns at night when I sleep, but I do my best to preserve them for a couple of days at a time.
Great post!!!! So detailed and helpful. Do you follow MrsDoingMe2011? She also stretches for 6 months at a time and her hair is a similar length as yours.
Thanks, Ebony! I do follow her. I found her right after she had completed her year long stretch. Seeing her accomplish that gave me confidence about doing my six months.
