28 weeks :D

So. I’ve made it to 28 weeks post in the cold, dreary, snowy climate of massachusetts.
8/10 I’m relaxing this friday/saturday (depends on the parties, my homework, etc.)
My hair has been ALRIGHT but I think it’s too moisturized, which scares me because you’re supposed to have strong protein-rich hair before a relaxer. However, I didn’t have enough Aphogee 2 minute to do a reconstructor before the relaxer and don’t have ANY clarifying shampoo with me here..*sigh*
Luckily, my dad just sent me some of my Nexxus Keraphix but he couldn’t find any of the ORS Aloe Shampoo I had (I wonder where it went..)
I have two options: wait a couple more weeks to relax my hair or relax my hair this week.

I could wait so that my hair can have the strength and preparation it needs to be healthily relaxed..or I could relax this week because what the hell, my hair is pretty healthy already..
To tell you the truth, I don’t really want to relax for the sake of my scalp..looking back on my past entries in the blog (think three years ago) I see that I had bad scalp burns and the scalp pain JUST went away a couple weeks ago..I kid you not, I was dealing with scalp pain in certain spots for years…and here I’m just gonna relax it to hurt my scalp again? *sigh*

I have to think long and hard about it..the only reason I’m itching to relax is because I want to showcase my hair because certain people seem to think that I don’t have any because I have wigs. Which is absurd because I used to wear my hair straightened alot earlier in the fall semester. Oh well..

it’s funny because most people are discouraging me from relaxing my hair..lol. good friends.

26 weeks

I’m at 26 weeks post now SO MUCH NEW GROWTH. My edges are completely new grown in (there’s no relaxed ends on my edges) and a lot of my hair is new growth..which is kinda scary because what if a lot of my hair broke off ahh..but i digress.

I took some hair pics a couple weeks ago and my hair was thick and luscious! My hair has kinda been breaking lately and I attribute that to not using moisturizer and just oiling..I’m now going to start using moisturizer every other day because I can’t use it every day because I get serious buildup and tangling and then BREAKAGE. bleh.
I’m washing my hair this weekend..no special stuff, the usual. I need to get out and buy some more Aussie Moist because this stuff is the TRUTH. this and oil prepoos have gotten me through this long-ass stretch able to comb my hair in the shower and finger detangle without having too much breakage. All in all a good stretch and I’m looking to end it soon (in a couple weeks) at week 28 maybe..yay! My mom is going to send me a care package with relaxer in it so as soon as it comes, I’ll be formulating and planning my new relaxer regimen.

I’m so excited! I stretch  my hair and I think I’m going to be MBL again yayerssss it feels like my hair isn’t growing sometimes but eh i guess it is…it just feels like the same length because I always cut/trim it (which I haven’t done since November!). Right now, my hair is MBL stretched (yay!) but I think it might be longer when I relax it because it’s hard to stretch my hair I have so much new growth!
