Taking care of you hair can be a task. Let me emphasize on the word CAN.

July; retouching my new growth with ORS No-Lye Relaxer
It’s time for the creamy crack! I’m fighting with myself when I’m styling my hair. Being 20 weeks post relaxer is getting exhausting. With my next stretch I’m going back to 16 weeks of stretching. As always for retouching my new growth I used ORS No-Lye Relaxer. Let’s start the process I don’t like for my new growth to be bone straight, so I manipulate the relaxer by adding a product. This time around I used oils instead of a light conditioner. To be honest I was out of conditioner, that’s why I added oils to the mixture. I used 1 cup of Olive oil and 1 cup of Castor…

Relaxed hair confession session, hair breakage!
I have a confession! After relaxing my hair in February, I stayed at family member place for 3 weeks. During that period is when the laziness of not taking care of my hair became worse. Although I kept up with washing my every week, I failed in how I needed to take care of my hair during the week. “Laziness is taking over” Moisturizing my hair during the week was not on the top of my list. I will apply some moisture to my hair here and there, but it wasn’t done the proper way. Listen you can call my hair “Thirsty Thoth Diana”. When my hair needs moisture and…

When I started my relaxed hair journey I didn’t know where to begin. So finding ladies on YouTube that shared their relaxed hair regimen was a blessing. My hair needed a solid hair routine to get my relaxed hair healthy again. “What is a hair regimen?” When ladies decide to take better care of their relaxed hair, the answer that I get after asking the question “what is your hair regimen” is always get the same response. Hair regimen? No I don’t have a routine. What is a hair regimen? Any set of rules about food and exercise that someone follows, especially in order to improve their health -Cambridge I…

Retouching your new growth at 20 weeks post relaxer
I have been waiting for this day. My new growth was ready for a touch up. Stretching for 20 weeks was enough, because my new growth needed to be laid. Step 1 | protect the scalp When I was done with detangling my hair and sectioned it in four parts, I based my scalp with DAX Vegetable Oils Pomade for a protecting layer.
