Relaxer Day Results…

I relaxed my hair at 16 weeks post relaxer with ORS Lye Relaxer in Normal strength. My routine hasn't changed from how I prep my hair for relaxer day and how it actually goes as seen here.

Relaxer Results: Post Trim

1]   I started at the top right hand corner and worked myself around my entire head in 21 mins. I 

      spent 15mins for application and 6 mins smoothing out the relaxer with my fingers. I don’t 

      relax my hair bone straight so I didn't use a comb to smoothen out the hair.

2]   I hopped into the shower and rinsed my hair thoroughly. I get alil paranoid while rinsing out 

      the relaxer because I don’t want over processed hair aka fried/limp hair.

3]   Applied Aphogee 2 min Reconstructor for 2 mins and rinsed to add back some strength.

4]   Shampooed with ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo 3 times and rinsed.

Relaxer Results: Freshly Relaxed

5]   Deep conditioned with ORS Replenshing conditioner, as I sat under my hooder dryer for 

      30mins. This has been my go to deep conditioner for my relaxer touch up and I love how my

      hair feels afterwards. It’s the right mix of strength and moisture for my hair.

6]   Rinsed & I dyed my hair again. I used Adore in the color Crimson & I sat under my hooded 

      dryer for 25mins and rinsed. Crimson was the same color I used when I dyed my hair with 

      Kiss hair dye. I followed up with Aussie Moist Conditioner to add back some softness to my

      hair, remove the excess dye and mask some of the smell. 

7]   Rinsed and wrapped my hair in a T-shirt for 30mins.

8]   My leave-in conditioners were Crème of Nature Strength & Shine and alittle Aussie Moist 

      Conditioner and sealed with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. Once my hair was 90% dry I decided 

      to sit under my hooded dryer to dry my roots which were still damp on warm temperature. I 

      followed up and blow dried my roots because the hooded dryer was taking too long.

Relaxer Results: Airdrying

The following day, I flat ironed my hair. I sprayed my hair with Tresemme Tamer spray which is a heat protectant. I learned my lesson from last time so I didn't use any oil prior to flat ironing. I did one pass on majority of my hair and two passes on my crown since that’s the thickest part of my hair.  I added some coconut oil once I was finish.  My hair wasn't bone straight as I could still see the texture in my hair, which was fine by me.

 Relaxer Results: Pre-trimmed Ponytail

Since my previous stretch really affected my ends and I barely trimmed any of my ends, I wasn't happy with my ends this time.  I trimmed off 1inch all around my hair not just my hempline. Stay tuned for my length check post which is now live here.

 Relaxer Results: Pre trimmed hair

Overall the health of my hair improved and my ends are back on track. I still have about 4 inches of completely bone straight ends that I plan to trim off an inch or two after every relaxer touch up until its all gone.  Who doesn't enjoy their freshly relaxed flat ironed hair? I was really feeling my hair and my color.
