My plan was to straighten my hair via flat iron with out, relaxing. I have been debating between transitioning or not...I want to, but honestly I am just scared lol.
Moving along, I ended up relaxing my hair anyway.
New Growth Shot----------------------------------> Post Relaxer, wet
I self relaxed using ORS Professionals. Prior to relaxing, I oiled scalp with Castor Oil. I think this is the best self relax that I have done so far. I left the relaxer on for about 25 minutes, when it started to burn I washed it out, only had one chemical burn lol...IKR as if that is something to be proud of.
How do I deal with Chemical Burns?
I let them be, rub with a bit of Tea Tree oil and let it do it's own thing.
Moving right along post relaxer flat iron results!!!
BOOM!!!!
Scrapping APL maybe? I am super excited!!!

Hoping to make Full APL by January or Feburary!!!! What an exciting journey!!!
Hair looks great! You look like you're touching APL. I use aloe vera juice or gel when I have chemical burns. It has a soothing effect and softens the scab up so it falls off.

DeleteYou've been MIA for a while. You can use the castor oil to grow back the loop holes.lol.
ReplyDeleteYou also had a lot of growth and the thickness is adorable.
That's what I was about to say... use castor oil. The Jamaican black castor oil works the best! Makes your hair grow like a weed!
