04 MAR 13 RELAXED AFTER 18 WEEK STRETCH!!!!

So I finally gave in to the creamy crack lol and relaxed my hair after an 18 month stretch. I'm very happy with the outcome, the goal was to just soften my new growth and retain as much texture as possible. I watched a couple of YouTube videos on texlaxing, thanks Short2Sweet59 (http://m.youtube.com/user/shorty2sweet59) for the tips and inspiration! I decided to use Olive Oil relaxer regular strength and add 1/4 cup of EVOO to it. I must say I LOVE IT! From now on I'll be adding oils to my relaxers on top of coating my already relaxed hair with coconut oil. After neutralizing, DC'ing and air drying my hair felt great...it was way easier to manage and I didn't lose any texture.
