Self Relaxer Results August 2010 + Brief Explanation

Relaxer took place: August 7th 2010

How Many Weeks Post: Relaxed at 11-12 weeks post (A little before the Castor Oil Challenge ended..I did the Ultimate level & it works!!)

Relaxer Used: Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Lye Normal Strength

Other tools: 2 Rat-tail combs, 2 pairs of tight latex gloves (very easy to feel new growth with), towels, timer.

Prep:
  • Detangled with Mane N Tail Detangler the day before
  • Put JBCO on scalp the day of relaxer
  • Put Coconut Oil and Vaseline on previously relaxed hair on day of relaxer
Total Time Of Relaxer Process: 20-25mins approx. with the help of my sister.

Method/Technique: Relaxed at home with the help of my sister. We parted the hair in 4 quadrants (2 in the front and 2 in the back). I took over the front portion and she relaxed the back portion. I pre-parted the hair in the front vertically and 2 strand twisted each section to make the process go faster. My sister pre-parted & 2 strand twisted the hair in the back section horizontally for fast and easy access. I went through the front 2-3 times (relaxing only the new growth) and she went over the back twice with smoothing (relaxing only the new growth).

I neutralized approx. 5 times with ORS Neutralizing shampoo then shampoo'd with Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo. I did a deep treatment with ORS Replenishing Conditioner mixed with JBCO, EVOO, Avocado and EVCO left it on for 30mins with heat. Rinsed and applied Scurl No Drip Activator as a leave-in and One n Only Argan Oil as a heat protectant/serum on damp hair. I air dried then proceeded to flat iron with my CHI camo flat iron. No trim.


Front view of air dried hair. Relaxer really took in the front. I'm happy!

Back view of air dried hair. Took forever to dry completely.


After flat ironing. All Done.

Hair Question: Is It Okay To Use A Protein Leave-In Conditioner?

Question:
"Is it okay to use a protein based leave-in all the time or do I need to alternate with protein one time and moisturizer one?"

Advice:

I think it's always best to leave moisture in the hair rather than protein, since it has a tendency to make the hair hard and brittle. It's best to use a moisture based leave-in on the regular for soft, supply, moist hair. Protein is best to use during the conditioning phase of your regimen to strengthen the structure of your hair. You can still use a protein based leave-in conditioner, if anything, use a protein leave-in and then a moisturizing leave-in right after to balance it out. Or alternate the days you use them, 1 wash day use a moisture leave-in, 2nd wash day you use the protein leave-in.

Hope that helps,


♥ Sunshyne

Healthy eating challenge
We are what we eat is a true statement. While many of us are on a healthy hair journey are we paying attention to what we put into our bodies? Taking vitamins and supplements are good but eating healthy food is even better.
