Relaxed Hair journey post – What a wonderful journey! (August 4th, 2009)

It has indeed been a wonderful journey. I have been looking back at everything, my regimen, my growth/progress, my products, my hairstyles… everything. So far, I am happy, things are going good. My hair isn’t growing super fast, but it’s growing. My biggest breakthrough was learning to minimize breakage. I am not losing as much […]

I am 6 weeks post and trying to stretch 9 weeks this time. My big problem is that my last relaxer did not take and now the NG (new growth) is unbelievable. I was going to cave in. I prepared my stuff; combs, clips, relaxer kit, oils, shampoos, conditioner, etc. I was getting ready to put my […]
