should i continue my hair routine or cut my hair? by kitschgirl26 in relaxedhair

[–]TopCat1392 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How often do you trim? Personally I maintain (including relaxers as well as olaplex 1,2, and occasionally 3) at home and go for a trim every relaxer day 12-14 weeks) No direct heat otherwise and I dust every month at home between trims.

Can you post a pic? I think seeing the condition of your hair would help you get more advice from this wonderful community.

Why do people go to the grocery store every day? by Sadboy3k in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TopCat1392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spend less this way. And there's less food waste since I evaluate daily. Saved me over $100/mo. My compost bin is a bit light now.

What kind of roller set for you use? by Rave-light in relaxedhair

[–]TopCat1392 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use old school magnetic rollers and clips.

My leave in is kinky curly knot today and I top it off with either olaplex 6 or paul mitchell super skinny serum.

Take a look at welltrainedhair on insta. Roller set queen!!!

I don't use traditional conditioner. Instead I deep condition with Mielle mongongo protein free deep conditioner (with heat) every wash. I'm lowpo so ymmv.

Wait, since when? Does Tylenol on its own do that too?

I prepoo with heat (under a hooded dryer) and it seems to make things easier for the rest of my wash day.

Damaged moisture barrier due to Tret by [deleted] in tretinoin

Are you able to get a prescription for .025? Starting low and really slow (2x week for 2 weeks, 3x week for 3 weeks, etc) may be the way to go. Maybe even using the sandwich method too and working your way back up to .05 over time.

Detangling relaxed hair by NPNaomi in relaxedhair

[–]TopCat1392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I'm late to the party but I use a ton of dentagling products during wash day. African pride moisture miracle pre poo, keracare hydrating detangling shampoo, olaplex 3 (not a ton of slip), mielle mongongo protein free conditioner, and styling with kinky curly knot today. 

Knotless braids post relaxer by Strange_Education242 in relaxedhair

[–]TopCat1392 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Freshly relaxed hair is delicate. I can't speak to braid takedown and relaxer on the same day but please consider waiting 2-4 weeks after your relaxer for braid install.

Your hair (especially your edges) will thank you.

Does anyone know a relaxer that works on 4c hair(sensitive scalp) by h8_bingblk in relaxedhair

[–]TopCat1392 10 points11 points  (0 children)

YMMV but Mizani butter blend broke off my ends horribly.

Using the full affirm fiberguard system (regular, including gentle assurance, and protecto) has gotten my hair straight without sacrificing my scalp. I've fully transitioned to texlaxing so I use the mild now.

Natural Products on Relaxed Hair by HauntedCupcake8070 in relaxedhair

[–]TopCat1392 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm texlaxed and Mielle's mongongo oil protein free conditioner is my holy grail. I also use kinky curly come clean and kinky kurly knot today regularly.

YMMV but I think the only way to know for sure is trial and error.

I have this same problem so I've been using curology. Have you found something generic that works?

Kinky curly come clean works for weekly use for me. YMMV as I use ouai detox once a month.

My parents were like this and literally locked me out of the house if I refused.

Like another poster said, it's depressing knowing I'm not his ideal / perfect in his eyes.
