I'm excited is because I was tired of dealing with these two textures. I was apart of the castor oil challenge and my new growth is so thick and unbearable. Believe it or not I cant wait to straighten to gt rid of these thin ends and just work on my hair again.
The relaxer plan:
- Detangled with a wide tooth comb, part my hair in three sections and then did those sections ins smaller 1 inc sections for making the relaxer process easier. I based my scalp with Hollywood Beauty castor oil and on the length of my Paul Mitchell the detangler and Roux Porosity. By the time I was done there was considerably a good amount of hair in the sink. But then I took in account that since I was Thursday I have't put a comb to my hair or detangled. Also Most of the hairs had a curly end and white bulb so it was shedded hair. I'm glad it wasn't breakage so this just means I have to work on my shedding.

| After mid-protein and neutralizing |
- Relax with ORS No lye. It took me about 25 to finish. For some reason I was running out of time and didn't want to go beyond so I washed out. I also observed the relaxer creme turned orange. I wasn't alarmed though. i just figured it was because of the Henna treatment I did two weeks ago.
- Do mid protein step w/ Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor. After rinse the relaxer I put in Aphogee w/ coconut oil and left it in and massaged for about two minutes. Most ladies who said they did this said their hair reverted. This didnt happen to me. Maybe I didnt leave it in long enough? LOL I will continue to include this step.
- Neutralize with Motions Neutralizing shampoo about 4 times with leaving the shampoo in for 2 minutes twice. There's something I don't get. When I neutralize the shampoo suds never turn pink. So does that mean I had gotten out all if not most the relaxer before hand? Crazy right?
- I didn't get to include the black tea rinse like I wanted. Mainly because I forget to put it too steep. By the time I remembered it was too late so I skipped it.
- DC w/Keracare Humecto with coconut oil and castor oil. These two oils are now KEY components in my regimen. Will not go without.
- I did a quick towel dry and then put in my leave ins. These include Aphogee Green tea keratin, Darcy Botanicals Leave in, Paul Mitchell Super Skinn Serum, Creme of Nature Straight from Eden Dentangling Spray and Creme of Nature foam wrap. At first I thought it was toomuch but my hair didnt feel weight down at all.
- I let my cousin rollerset my hair in big rollers. I cannot do that. If i did it I would be putting them back in after they keep falling out. By time she was finish I was about 50% dry but I went under the dryer set at low for 45 mins
- When the 45 mins were over my hair was completely dried I oil my scalp with castor oil and put some L'oreal serum my mom has (I dunno the name lol but I like it..smells nice) , and coconut oil on the length of my hair. Wrapped and then a bit of sheen spray. Now I just have my hair wrapped to go for my trim tomorrow.
This relaxing session went well if I do say so myself. lol.
