Yes, I did it… I was supposed to wait 9 weeks, but I cracked because I have a wedding on Saturday and I didn’t like my hair all week last week, so I said what the hay! I did it. I tried to correct my last relaxer so this one was hard. I prepared my […]
What a journey!!! Waiting for length can be really hard some days but hair grows really slowly and don’t we all know it. Day by day, I try not to focus on length. I try to focus on care. I take care of my hair every day (moisturizing, sealing, washing, conditioning, treating, etc). I only […]
Why couldn’t I have found Hairlista (Hairlicious) and the other forums when I was natural??? I would not have relaxed my texturized hair… I now have almost 100% straight but thin hair and now realizing that my hair should be texlaxed (75%) not relaxed. I have to “start over” again… I will not do the […]
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 […]
158.1 lbs and flabby… I’ve lost all the baby weight and now the real challenge starts. I’m at my pre-baby weight minus the flabby stomach. Who knew that would make such a difference. So, I realize that exercising is mandatory for me. Unless I’m willing to live with the flab. I’m not super into my […]
So far so good… Loving my progressI actually do not have any progress pics, sorry… I don’t even know how long my hair is (hoping for full SL) because I’ve decided not to use any heat until my next relaxer Aug 1st 2009. Since I won’t be flat ironing, I can’t accurately evaluate my growth. I feel […]
It feels like 13 weeks post since my last relaxer (very under processed texlax) didn’t take at all. :(I have been managing with my new growth and my hair. Except that I have been having breakage these past few days. I have done a hard protein treatment (Aphogee two step) a week ago and continue to do light […]
I self-texlaxed today with ORS Olive Oil No-lye. This is my first real texlax. I watched You Tube to get some techniques all week. Conclusion: I really need to find a stylist. The whole thing was a mess. I tried to use the color brush, but it was too large for my sections. I got […]
Along with sharing the good and the bad of being a mother of three and my mommy favorites, I will dedicate this blog as my weight loss blog and hair journey experience. It seems that I need an outlet to write down ideas and thoughts and although I may not publish all my entries, I […]
I did it!!!! I wasn’t sure I would but I did. It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t as hard as I thought. It is true, it is important to plan ahead and have an idea on how to solve unpredictables.Planning my stretch is what helped me. I knew I wanted to stretch for 8 weeks […]
