My Tues wash

So I cowashed after the gym with Wen cleansing conditioner. It is so thick. I find it ok though. I think I'll try one of the others next. Then my 2 min reconstructor while I showered. Then DC with an alter ego/DPR-11 mix since my alter ego garlic cond is done. Then used the porosity. Some hair came out but nowadays I'm not stressing too much about it. My hair is def less heavy and greasy. Wheeee!

Sweaty gym hair

Fresh out of the rollers

Wrap

This morning

OMG I cannot wait to wash my hair tonight

I washed on Fri (skipped last Tues which made me sad) and it came out so heavy and thick. I don't think I washed out the DC properly but tonight, it is on! 2 min reconstructor and all *grin* C

Can you tell I hated not washing mid week? My hair was so icky by Friday. Results tomorrow. Wheeee!

Holy Jeeez!!!

What am I doing??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have just semi-told myself I will do a 16 (note I said 16) week stretch!

I am going to invest in a blow dryer and brush for my roots in preparation for week 5. If I fail, I fail but it will not be said I didn't give it EVERYTHING I got.

The only other things I need: more rollers so I can set smaller, castor oil to add to my DCs and patience.

>>please note I said semi...i still need to really mull this one over<<

JULY 31st IS D-DAY

A late update - relaxer pics

Here are the results of my April 17, 2009 relaxer with Mizani BB. All pics are from Saturday. First one looking a little thin but by the afternoon, it had improved (pic #2).

Coming to the close of this stretch

I was gonna wait another week, and in all honesty, I could but since my hairdresser is pregnant and due the first week in May, I'm not taking any risks. Tomorrow it is. 9 weeks today officially. I impress myself. Until the last 2 stretches I have NEVER waited more than 6 weeks.

Anyhow, work is a beast and I've been exhausted these last few days. No time for this or my hair. So I've been m&s with mango butter and HBCO since I want my hair coated with something thicker and just putting it back in a bun daily.

Thursday (today):
Wednesday (yesterday):

Final pre-relaxer blow out

So I had a very very busy weekend and am now being able to post the pics from Sat. Somehow, my hair looks as though it has grown but how possible can that be? So since that wasn't believable, I didn't do any progress shots. I'll do that this weekend after my relaxer.


No more extremely damaged hair tags =)

Hopefully, I'll never have to use it in reference to myself.

8 weeks post

Today, I am officially 8 weeks post. This is my third stretch on my healthy hair journey. I used to relax every 6 weeks. The first time I stretched I went 8 weeks, the second time, I went 9 weeks. I guess that means I should stretch 10 weeks this time. I'll see what happens. Tomorrow I get my blow out in preparation for my friend's birthday celebration this weekend. I should say, my hairdresser is pregnant and due on May 10th - my 10 week stretch ends April 23rd. I am not too sure if she'll be available or not. It would make me sad but I could find someone else. I guess. I have 2 other alternatives - one MUCHO expensive and then another Dominican who has done my hair before, just not so convenient and not as awesome as Yerena.

So the curls died last night. I just m&s w wave nouv & hot six oil on the ends, then mango butter and HBCO on the edges. Then covered and went to bed. Finger combed this morning.
