But i must say i frustrated my hair - i'm convinced if i tex lax at 15 weeks i would have got longer hair this time round. I note u tex lax 2 months..? is there a special reason for that ? or do u find it heathier for your hair and obtain longer lenght easier? <br />thanks Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790085159362769098.post-58851248956021915112014-01-07T06:31:44.345-08:002014-01-07T06:31:44.345-08:00Hallo Bassey,
I have read through your blog and I ...Hallo Bassey,<br />I have read through your blog and I have found it quite inspiring. <br /><br />I used to have long hair (not waist length) but at least bra strap length until I got into the hands of a "scissors happy stylist" as you rightly called it, and now my hair is like chin or shoulder length, I'm too broken hearted to even check. <br /><br />Recently( about 2 months ago) i noticed my hair had started to break when i combed it, so i checked online and was advised to stay away from heat and i did a "mayonnaise and egg" conditioning. After the conditioning, I noticed that my hair gained more volume but was still breaking so i decided to sew on weaves and just forget about the hair. That is what i have done for the past 2 months, remove the weaves every 2 weeks, wash and re-sew.<br /><br />I took out my weaves on 2 days ago and relaxed my hair with a touch-up relaxer, so my hair did not totally straighten which was fine by me, although my stylist warned me never to step into his salon with that relaxer again. hahaa! Apparently it gave him too much stress. Anyway so imagine my joy when I saw the part where you talked about texlaxing, it felt like I had started my journey to regrowing my hair without even knowing.<br /><br />Now I have decided and I am determined to take my hair back to her former glory. So i have a couple of questions...<br />1. Do u co-wash your hair while it is in cornrows?<br />2. Do you always wear cornrows under your lace wigs?<br />3. When you don"t have cornrows under your lace wig, what do you do to your hair?<br />4. When you do you LOC treatment, do you plait your hair immediately or do you let it dry out first?<br />5. All of a sudden, i have short front hair and back hair, what do you advice i do about it?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790085159362769098.post-59112294371941258902013-05-24T04:20:48.397-07:002013-05-24T04:20:48.397-07:00Hi Bassey pls how long do u advice we wear protect...Hi Bassey pls how long do u advice we wear protective covering on our hair before conditioning our hear.

I have a really sensitive scalp which starts to burn after just a few minutes so I never relax my hair at home. But because I wanted to texlax so I could canerow my hair and apply the wig and I thought I could get away with putting in some relaxer for a few minutes. But I didn't realise I need to comb the relaxer through my hair but just washed it straight away. The matted sections of the hair were very brittle so I guess It was the relaxer more than anything that caused the matting :(. That and the fact that the DPR II I used seemed to dry out my hair for some strange reason. <br /><br />I've finally gotten all the matted hair out now and I wish I could post a picture of the matted hair I lost to warn the ladies taking this challenge to be careful and when in doubt wash in sections.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790085159362769098.post-36683924735427718652013-04-22T15:20:47.735-07:002013-04-22T15:20:47.735-07:00Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for the update.
- Washi...Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />Thank you for the update. <br /><br />- Washing your hair with a shampoo that is too harsh can cause matting. To address this, use a mild sulphate free shampoo or dilute your shampoo with water before washing your hair <br />- Rubbing your hair vigorously while washing can also cause matting. You can address this by washing your hair in sections. Braid your hair in 5 to 10 sections and wash. Concentrate more on your scalp while washing. Don't manipulate your hair too much. When you rinse the shampoo from your scalp, it would run down the length of your hair and clean it as well.<br />- Leaving braids and cornrows in for too long can also cause matting. <br />It would be great if you can share your experience in more detail. Do you have any idea what caused your hair to matt? Perhaps we can all learn from this.<br /><br />The devil is indeed a liar. You will get to waist length!lushstrandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703835957416423278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790085159362769098.post-59972056238587643162013-04-22T14:45:52.366-07:002013-04-22T14:45:52.366-07:00Hi Everyone,

(the drop of fulani blood I have in my genes "must" show itself oh)...I prayed to God and asked Him to help me on this quest and can you believe it, for the first time in my life my hair got horribly horribly matted. Imagine the worst kind of involuntary dada imaginable, my hair was much much worse. Normally I would have given up and cut the hair immediately but I'm determined to grow my hair, so I've been putting olive oil and taking the hair out strand by strand....I still haven't finished but the devil is a liar. <br /><br />My key takeaway is....to wash my hair in sections from now on and for some reason Elasta QP DPR II conditioner dries out my hair even though I thought it was a moisturising conditioner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790085159362769098.post-61480153058763933122013-04-11T22:52:43.584-07:002013-04-11T22:52:43.584-07:00No, a hair net doesn't offer enough protection...No, a hair net doesn't offer enough protection.

It might be once a week or twice a week or everyday. <br />Deep conditioning is basically applying conditioner to your hair and leaving it in for at least 15 minutes to allow your hair absorb it and get well moisturized. It is a very essential step for healthy hair.Sizzling mommyhttp://thesizzlingmommy.com/2012/06/basics-recap.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790085159362769098.post-67887963281511917112013-03-12T14:18:55.797-07:002013-03-12T14:18:55.797-07:00Texlaxing your hair is more healthy but it's a...Texlaxing your hair is more healthy but it's a bit more difficult to manage.
