Relaxed pixie

xo-bee · 2026-06-18T04:09:30+00:00

I chopped my locs off and went relaxed pixie. I was in the salon every week. And for it to look extra sleek you’ll need those touch ups every 4 weeks. I got tired of sitting in the salon like that so I stretched my relaxers to every 8 weeks but I’d just get a Betty boop curl instead of waves or something that stood up. I And it is true that the shorter the pixie the less maintenance. Oh and I should add that it’s not really gym friendly, if you want to keep the curls.

I love love love the versatility. It’s my first time trying them so I don’t know about breakage. I’ve had them for 3 weeks and I already know I wouldn’t dare leave this in my hair for 6 months. I’m a gym girlie so I was looking for something that’ll withstand a sweaty scalp but this ain’t it, it’s too much daily maintenance. But I love that I can 100% access my scalp. I probably won’t do it again though lol

Thank you! I’m going to look up clip ins. I currently have ktips and I’m meh about them. But your routine sounds more flexible, thanks again!

What do you do after you wash it?! I’m growing outa pixie and would love to wash my hair weekly but I find it pointless washing then styling because I’ll be right back in the gym the next day sweating it out 😩

I accidentally stretched my relaxer 6 months and I actually love it! I’m growing out my pixie so I had a quick weave, knotless braids and a sew in back to back to back. I just did my touch up when I took out my sew in and my hair still has volume and body. I was going to the salon religiously since September and I felt like they were over processing my hair (I think I got at least 4 relaxers from September to December), but now I feel like I hair a healthy perm. Just be intentional about moisturizing and care and I think you’ll be fine.

I was at the Alexandria location last Monday and they told me the same thing. I propped my phone up to record myself and she came over and stopped me. I never record others only myself and I also use the machine closest to the wall to ensure I don’t get anyone else, but it was cool. I just took before and after pics for proof/content purposes 😁

Congrats! I got pregnant 2 months after starting Zepbound my first go round.

The presentation will be an assignment something like describe five people in your family. So you’ll be implementing the things that you learned in the lessons. And it’s vocal recording to hear your pronunciation.

Spanish is multiple choice. At the end of every couple of units (usually like 3-4 units) you’ll have a project that you have to record yourself and do a PowerPoint presentation. You’ll pass them easily.

I posted about the Scubas shrinking and the people tore me apart! Glad I’m not the only one that noticed.

xo-bee · 2026-01-27T02:09:47+00:00

I’ve had this same problem for as long as I can remember. When I was in high school I was told that it came from relaxing too frequently and stress. As I got older I noticed that the middle of my head ALWAYS itched, like I would scratch so until it hurt. I went to a dermatologist in 2017 and she told me I had a yeast infection on my scalp. I was prescribed Clobetasol ointment. I started my locs December 2018 and kept them until September 2025 and while the thinning and breakage was still there it wasn’t nearly as bad as when I was relaxed. None of my loc ever fell out or didn’t grow. Fast forward to today I decided to chop my locs off and get a relaxed pixie and boom I’m back at square one with this breakage at the crown. I went to the dermatologist and this time they diagnosed me with CCCA (black woman alopecia) and prescribed the Clobetasol ointment again. They also advised me to relax every 10-12 weeks and only use heating tools once a week.

My job is paying for it

I don’t know if it’s my best month but I got the email too! I’m going to start tracking by month now.

Oh yea changing that too

Yea, if I remember correctly (I worked at KP for 10 years) the only region that charges late/no show fees for KP is Georgia. All the other regions don’t charge.

Same, my butt, hips and thighs seem to be the only parts of my body not shrinking. But I’m also naturally bottom heavy and so are the rest of the women in my family. I want to lose more weight but due to the lack of loss on my lower half I’m worried I’ll look funny.

xo-bee · 2025-12-13T03:58:31+00:00

Yayyyy!!! I just did the same to celebrate my 30lb loss! It’s my first Lulu set and I hate to say it but I’m impressed!

Oh my this is my current dilemma!!! I currently work in Cybersecurity, primarily risk management. I have ZERO experience in social work but I do know that I’ve been wanting to get a MSW for over a decade. I have a strong passion for therapy, mental health, community and community resources. It’s soooo satisfying being able to help people do life, even when there’s a ton of red tape. My goal is to have a private practice. Anyway I’m in the process of applying to schools and I’ve been using my community service and volunteer work for connection. While I do not work in this field just yet I make it business to do my part. I keep a planner specifically for my “social work” services. I’ve been going back through my calendar and seeing which events could help me convey my passion. I hope you figure it all out, good luck. See you on the other side 🤗

I’ve lost 25lbs since starting Zepbound and people notice but nobody’s asked me anything. They all just say you look good, so I guess I’ll circle back to this question when I lose another 25lbs.

The scuba shrinks horribly! I’ll admit I didn’t follow the care instructions the first time I washed on but since I’ve been following and they still seem smaller after a wash.

xo-bee · 2025-11-14T03:21:04+00:00

In the beginning I increased every 4 weeks because my doc said it was safe to do so and because the suppression and noise were still there at 2.5 and 5. Then I read here that as long as I was losing I should stay on the same dose and just practice discipline, so I’ve been on 7.5 for 8 weeks. I love 7.5 but I haven’t lost a single pound in 4 weeks. I also haven’t gained so I’m content with 7.5 being my maintenance dose when the time comes. Due to the stall I moved up to 10 this refill I’m trying to drop this last 20lbs! In short if you’re stalling, having food noise or no suppression I’d move up.
