You heard me correctly, I am on to my next relaxer! And it feels so good! My hair is so thick and healthy looking. Can you say - silky smooth my friend?! I did the relaxer on Friday, April 2nd. I made sure that I put oil on my already relaxed hair and I did not exceed the 25 minute mark. It's so weird how my hair cannot take a 40 minute relaxer like I used to do. I actually BURN now. Like around the 23 minute mark, my hair is going - ok, it's time to start moving a little bit faster...
I didn't do a deep condition or anything special, just relaxer, rinse well, shampoo 3 times, Aphogee 2 minute constructor, condition in the shower, leave in conditioners, blow dry, flat iron, and out the door in about 2 hours total.
I have noticed that I CANNOT go more than 3 or 4 days without washing my hair now. If I don't wash, my hair gets beyond itchy. Co-washing has trained my scalp to loath build up and dirt. I like keeping my hair light and fluffy, but I can't stand the itch.
Goals for this week include working out, co-washing, and keeping it down and swinging. But my ponytails are growing on me again. As my hair gets longer and thicker and the ponytail hangs and sways, it looks really great.
