Hey Sistas,
Today i finally did my relaxer touch up after 15 weeks post. It's not that i wanted to stretch that long (i usually stretch 3 months) but the condition of my hair was not right for relaxing and for some reason i was itching and scratching like crazy. As you may know i wanted to switch relaxers, i was using silk elements mild. I finally decided to switch to ORS lye relaxer. I heard so many good things about this relaxer and from fine haired sistas, so i figured this is the relaxer to switch to, the silk elements had started to underprocess my hair that's why i wanted to switch. Well after not being able to comb my hair or wait one more day, i just went for it today. Okay, i know that most people who used ORS relaxer had great results on fine hair, well let me tell you, from the minute i put the relaxer on my head it started burning, i was like what? so of course i had to rush and get it off. Needless to say i am texlaxed again and underprocessed in some areas. So maybe i'll do a corrective if it is too bad after my wash, but i would like to go at least 2 months without having to do the corrective. Even though i am underprocessed in some areas and texlaxed again, the relaxer actually left my hair soft and in good condition. I think maybe my scalp was just so irritated that's why i was burning. I will use this relaxer again, even though i didn't get my hair as straight as i liked, it feels soft and no breakage and doesn't feel as thin like other relaxers leave my hair, so i give it 4 stars !!!!
Congratulations...I am at 18 weeks, but not on purpose but I have been so busy I kind of lost track of the time. I am planning to relax this weekend. I have so much new growth (there's a monster in there lol). Anyway, I just wanted to show my support. Keep up the good work!!!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I so wanted it to work on you, I think it was the irritation of the scalp before, please try it again when ready.
ReplyDeletetnx Blessed Tresses,
ReplyDeletei'll do my best, lol
Neesha,
ReplyDeleteI will definitely give this relaxer another chance, it's probably my fault that the relaxer didn't take exactly as it should have, i did oil my hair and scalp with coconut oil and castor oil because my hair was so dry, this may have made the relaxer less effective, but my hair feels great.
tnx girlie :o)
Sorry it didn't work for you. I hope it works out for you next time. I'll be looking forward to your next try.
ReplyDeleteThanks LaQt,
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know how it turns out, i'm not giving up on it, lol
Even though you didn't get it as straight as you wanted it, it still looks great. I love the progress of your hair also. HHG! :)

I decided not to relax my hair for a year and when I did relax my hair 4 months ago I didn't put enough relaxer on some parts of my hair. I now have new growth near my scalp and the next section is straight hair and the next section after that is new growth that never took to the relaxer and finally the ends of my hair which are of course straight. (So the pattern is: scalp new growth, straight, new growth, and the ends which are straight). I figure the only way to get ride of the new growth towards the end of my hair I would have to over process my hair just to get that section straight. What other options do I have?
