My hair refuses to hold a curl! Relaxer Update & Set Back!

I relaxed my hair Sept 2 and I did my usual routine. I air dried and then flat ironed it. After that I curled it with my big curler in spiral curls. Before I got a chance to curl the other side of my head the curls would be almost gone. I clipped my ends, Well.... You can say I cut my hair cause I took 2 1/2 inches off of some parts of my horrible looking ends. I just cut them a couple months ago but this time I tried to get rid of all the nasty looking tips. My hair is no where near even. LOL. I chopped it up bad. My left side has always been longer than my right but this time you can really tell, so I keep my hair in buns until it grows out.

I started using MTG again to help speed up the growth process. Just found a local store that has the 32oz bottle for $15! I no longer have to spend $25+ for it online. So I applied it twice starting last weekend. Going to use it Sunday and Wednesday after wash days. Going to do this until Mid Dec then Im going to relax my hair and the end of Dec.

Im hoping to be BSL again by Dec. Right now Im only APL so I had a HUGE set back. I does not bother me that much cause I want healthy hair more than anything. I need to look for a product that helps with porosity control. I never used anything like it before and maybe thats what my hair needs right now. Any recommendations?

Leave any suggestion you might have. HHG Ladies!!!

OMG!!!

I took my braids out last night and was suppose to DC overnight last night, but it took me 3 hrs to take out 15-20 braids! My hair was so thick and out of control! I was trying to take pics of my hair but the pics did not show the true thickness. I showed my hubby and he said my ponytail was thicker and longer than it showed in the pic so i guess i will have to wait until Sept to take some pics.

Anyway the whole point of this blog is that i used half a jar of the Mega Cholesterol just now trying to DC. My hair is so thick that I think if i DC like this again(with my hair out) I will finish this jar! I always used the DC with my hair in braids so I never used that much. But i like the feel of my hair when its out after using my products. When I'm in braids i not as fun!...lol. Am i the only one that uses so much product at one time!?! I'm glad the Mega Cholesterol is about $4.50 at Sally's and not $10.99 cause then i would not know what to do. My next DC will be in braids. I might not do it like this again for about 2 months from now. I will try to take pics of my new growth after i air dry.

For the ladies with really really thick hair do you use more of a product or even finish a product after only a couple of uses? What do you do to stretch your products? I think i will have to just DC in braids most of the time to stretch mine. Any other suggestions?

Product Update

Hey Ladies! Yep the product junkie in me showed its ugly head yet again! But this time I'm glad it did because I'm loving these products. Yesterday i purchased two products that was recommended to me One of the products was Creme of Nature Shampoo( Red Label ). This shampoo detangled my hair great. My hair was still a little tangled but nothing like what it would have been with any other shampoo. This will be my staple shampoo from now on. The other product was Silk Elements Mega Cholesterol all i can say is WOW!! I did an over night deep condition with it my hair felt so soft when it was rinsed out. Oh and the smell was so wonderful. I rinsed the deep conditioner out and washed my hair with the Creme of Nature. Then i put Aphogee two minute in for about 5 mins rinsed that out twisted my hair so it could air dry and when it was dry it felt like butter. I'm going to do this process twice a week rotating with every wash the Olive Oil Replenishing Pak as a deep conditioner. I also bought the ORS in the bottle not Pack.

I braided my hair in some cornrows about 20. Added MTG moisturized with S-curl and sealed with Castor oil. I will do this process until my braids grow out.
