Im officially 10 weeks post relaxer and for some reason this time around its not that easy. I've noticed recently that I've had a lot of tangles around the new growth/roots area. I just spray it with my moisturizer and detangle with my fingers after I wash my hair.

I've also noticed that my ends are noticably thinner than usual. I mean it could be that I have so much growth that my ends just appear thinner, but I know this time around I will be trimming/dusting my ends. I have not trimmed my ends since Nov '07, so my hair is probably telling me to do a light trim, which is cool with me.

Other Updates:

• Only baggy when ends are extremely dry.
• I limit the amount of moisturizer I put on my hair if I baggy to reduce 'mushy hair'.
• No longer seal moisture in my hair if using a baggy. I seal the morning after.
• If I do Apple Cider Vinegar rinses, I do them after my deep conditioner to close the cuticle.
• I now detangle in the shower with a shower comb and lukewarm water.
