Relaxer Update | January 2018
Well after nearly a year’s absence, postpartum shedding and fearing the worst when it came to my hair, I can now report that my hair is alright. Whew! I was really worried about it and that worry partial fueled my disinterest in all things hair. But between my relaxer prep wash day and this weekend’s relaxer day, I can rest…
Relaxer Day | September 2016
I literally lost track of this relaxer stretch. I’m not sure how it happened, but I had no idea whether I had relaxed my hair in March or April. :/ That’s why every time I updated you guys there was a four week swing, lol. Thankfully after looking back at my social media posts last week, I figured out that I was…
Length Check | October 2015 vs March 2016
Hey guys! I’m dropping in to share my current length with you all. I relaxed my hair this weekend and this is my current length (along with a comparison from my last relaxer in October). If you pay attention to the images on the back of my shirt in the side-by-side comparison, you can see the how much longer my hair is…
Over My Relaxer Stretch | Roller Setting to Get Me Through
I have been over this stretch for the past few weeks. The tangles, the longer wash days — the wash days in general, ugh, I’m so close to throwing in the towel. But with three weeks left, I just need to calm my nerves. To help me get through this week I decided to do a roller set. I’m hoping that having…
Relaxing Six Months of New Growth
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…
Relaxer Update (Oct 2015) | My First 6 Month Relaxer Stretch Complete.
Well ladies, here we are. I’ve completed my first six month relaxer stretch attempt. And not only did I get a lot of growth/retention, but I was able to maintain my April length after cutting inches off of my hair. Immediately after the cut I have to admit that I was a little worried I might have cut off too…
How To | Stretch Your Relaxers For More Than 12-16 Weeks.
Normally when stretching your relaxer for 12 weeks or less, we can follow a pretty standard hair regimen: Shampoo, DC and style with minimal breakage. But for most of us when we hit 12 to 16 weeks, that’s when things start to go awry. Between the dryness, tangles and issues with styling two different hair textures, one or more of…
Weeks 23 and 24 of My 6 Month Stretch | Preparing for Relaxer Day!
I’ve been a bad blogger, you guys. Not only am I behind on updating you, but I can not for the life of me remember what I did with my hair for the first wash day of week 23. I know that I did a flexi rod set again and I wore that for 5 days. I know I deep…
Weeks 21 and 22 of My 24 Week Relaxer Stretch | Anyone Baggying Still?
These two weeks followed the same pattern as previous weeks on this stretch. Lots of cowashing, deep conditioning and detangling. But something new occurred this week. My hair was feeling really dry on Tuesday and while I planned to deep condition I didn’t get around to it. And when I found things winding down on Wednesday night, I knew deep…
