I am in my 6th week of this relaxer. I plan to relax at 10 weeks but if my hair is doing well I may stretch to 12 weeks. I know I keep switching up but I really want to stretch to 12 weeks each relaxer. I always get tangly around 9 weeks so that will deterimine if week 10 will be my relaxer week.
Last night I pre-pooed my hair with olive oil and EQP Intense. Today I washed with Hair One for dry hair. I like the tingle of this product and my scalp is really clean. I DC with ORS Hair Mayo for 30 min. It is a light/ med protein. I felt like my hair needed some strength. I hope I did not protein overload my hair. I then moisturized with Aphogee Balancer Moisturizer for 10 min and Silk Elements MM for 5 min.
My hair felt so soft and strong after I air dried. I wanted to know what my hair would feel like without a leave in and it feels GREAT!!!
So I will be washing with Hair One weeks 1-6 and I have to find a really good detangling shampoo or conditioner to wash with weeks 7-10 or 12. Any suggetions??? I miss the original version of CON!
My next step is to begin a vitamin regime for strength, health and growth. My blog friend at P.S. I love this... told me about the use of B vitamins and how they help your hair. So I plan to follow Traycee from K.I.S.S. vitamin plan she used to go from APL to WL with relaxed hair.
This came straight from K.I.S.S.
GNC Women's Ultra Mega Vitamin

Sounds like a plan.. I need to add some MSM.
I take Flaxseed oil, used to take Fish Oil but couldn't deal with the fish burps. YUCK. I may need something other than the flaxseed oil.. it's soooo hard to take. Even though I chase it with something sweet, it's still so hard.
Good luck on your stretch.
Yeah all of the vitamins sound like must tries. I hope my body doesn't trip.
I never had fish burps when I was taking Omegas before. That's hilarious!!
Flax seed oil doesn't come in pill form?? How dreadful.
Thank you! I think I'll be relaxing at 10 weeks! Something changed with my hair this week...
