So anyway this is really just for me to keep up on my own shit so i dont forget important stuff like when i last relaxed, when my last protein treatment was, etc. When i said my memory is slippin as if i smoke trees, i was not playin. Feel free to bypass all hair posts if you're not remotely interested, but if you're a hair diva, holla so we can talk.
Current Stats
Tex-laxed (relaxed but not bone straight. Keeps the bounce, body and thickness)
No color (altho i want a black rinse sooooo effin bad)

Ok so what "treatment" were you talkin' about?
ReplyDeleteI so need a trim.
I tried that hair texturizer thing once. It's made for kids. Someone I know swears by it.
I just wanted it to loosen my curls some... didn't do jackshit. LOL
Since then I swore off chemicals.
Though I'm ITCHIN' for highlights right now.
I'm thinkin' about buying those clip in ones.
Awww shoot, apparently I AM a hair diva! lol
@ Tina- i wonder why the tex-lax didnt work. I meant it's just a regular relaxer but you dont leave it on as long as you would if u were trying to make the hair bone-straight. The chemicals should still work to relax the curl a little bit. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteThis is the stuff I used: http://texasbeautysupplycom.stores.yahoo.net/jfm520.html
ReplyDeleteIt was supposed to not be harsh (which is what I want) -- it sure wasn't harsh. It didn't do anything at all.
For the bargain basement price of $9. lol
Girl take that stuff on somewhere. Just For Me barely works on kids hair, let alone grown ass women. lol. I think maybe a mild adult relaxer left on your hair for a few mins would work well for you. So you've completely sworn off chemicals??
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have. About 2 years ago I cut off 5 inches of dead, split, crappy mess because of a bad highlighting job my gay brother the colorist did. LOL
ReplyDeleteThis October I plan on cutting off another 4-5 inches b/c I tried that just for me thing and to get out what's left of that bad highlighting job.
So yeah, no more damaging stuff for me. Which is why I'm considering those clip in highlights. :D
