RELAXER DAY!! Thursday December 19, 2013
Tuesday, January 07, 2014
I finally decided to get a relaxer today at
16 weeks post. I have been unwell since Sunday December 15 and I was not able to give my
hair the much needed attention. My hair began to mat because I did not comb it
and I was always in a sleeping position. I was actually too weak to even scarf
my hair.
I tried bagging my whole head once but even that did not hold up. So
in my semi-recovery state, I dragged myself to the salon to get a relaxer. My
hair was breaking so fast I needed to save it.
I also decided never to do a long stretch
without regular protective styling. My hair flourishes when it is not manipulated
it.
In this relaxer process, I used the Crème
of Nature Argan oil relaxer kit.(No Lye).
I first coated my already relaxed
hair with Roux Porosity Control to protect it. The relaxing and smoothing
process took about 15 minutes.
After washing out the relaxer, the stylist
applied the Aphogee Two mins conditioner to my hair. The conditioner was in my
hair for about 20 mins.
She then neutralized three times with the
Crème of Nature Neutralizing shampoo that came with the kit.
Then did a final
shampoo with ORS Hairepair Shampoo.
She applied my conditioner mix of Crème of
Nature Intense Moisture Conditioner, grapeseed, almond, argan and essential
oils. Sat under the hooded dryer for 15 mins.
The stylist then washed out the
conditioner, dried my hair and applied KeraCare leave-in to my entire head and
the Aphogee Pro-Vitamin leave-in to my ends.
By this time, I was too tired and feeling too
sick to do a roller set so I opted a blow dry. My hair turned out great. And I
was really pleased with the results. The hair was not overly processed and I
still have a bit of texture.
