Friday 1st May

Taking part in the castor oil challenge, I can definitely say I noticed thicker new growth. I had planned to relax my new growth at 12 weeks post and decided not to self relax but to get my mother in law to do it instead as I always end up with way more texture than my hair can cope with. My mother-in-Law had plans for the week after so I got my hair done at 11 weeks post.

Here is how relaxer day went:

Oiled my scalp with my castor oil mix; Coconut oil & JBCO and then sectioned my hair into four. Applied olive oil to the length of each section up to and not including my new growth and then twisted from the demarcation line downwards. I set my timer for 22 minutes and starting with the two back sections, my mother-in-law went through and applied ORS Olive Oil Lye Normal relaxer to my new growth.
