When was your last relaxer? June 4th
How many weeks post relaxer are you? 12 going on 13 weeks
How long do you think you can stick it out? Due to the over processing of my hair in the past, i’ve been experiencing alot of breakage so I made the decision to go natural, meaning getting rid of all the chemically treated hair, I love my relaxed hair, but it just isn’t healthy.
How are you managing all that new growth? Lol a whole lot of moisturizing, when I wash my hair I only use conditioner, I believe it’s called a co-wash, and I’ve been doing alot of air drying, havent used heat in my hair for almost 9 months….amen! And i’ve also been doing alot of transitional styles bantu knots, straw sets, and the go to ponytail/bun.
Are you currently encountering challenges with this challenge? YESSSSS consistency, sometimes I get so lazy when it comes to my weekly routine but im slowly getting used to it, you would think by now I would have it under control but its alot of work repairing damaged hair!
What’s your ultimate goal? I just want healthy, strong hair!
Your reason sounds VERY similar to mine, I was processing my hair to death (literally). Oct. 4th will be 12 weeks for me and I feel like I’m going to cave in soon. I’m not planning on going fully natural, I’m just trying to stretch my relaxers out more, so that I can reduce the amount of chemicals I’m putting on my hair. I applaud you for not using heat for 9 months… SHEESH! I’d be somewhere hiding in a corner after 9 months. A week of no heat is a challenge for me. I’m a new fan of the cowash and I’ve been using Jojoba Oil for biweekly deep conditions. I can’t tell that’s it working a miracle on my hair. Thanks for sharing with our readers and keep me posted on your progress!!!
