Elasta QP DPR-11+ - Product Rave

I have been using this new DC for the last 2 weeks.. I am actually sitting with it now under a plastic cap.. So I heard about this initially from Sunshyne over at Hairlicious, inc.. I just recently found it and decided to try it as I am always looking for new yummy products.. All I can say is for 5.49 US I am sold. Its definately a heavy hitter, and the smell is go nice. It rivals against my fave Impact Alter Ego Garlic DC. And the difference in price has me sold.

Relaxed on 9/19!

Hello all!

I couldn't withstand the creamy crack urge and I gave it at 15 weeks post. I think I had good results, and my hair is so healthy and bouncy. I didn't meet my SL mark but I should by Dec 09 or Jan 10 when I relax again so no worries:)

I relaxed with soft and beautiful botanicals no lye regular.. I came out underprocessed at my nape which I relaxed last because that is my problem area.. I will do a corrective down the line when I feel like its strong enough to handle it

I relaxed in 2 sections and I neautralized for about 15 to 20 minute. I then did the aphogee 2 min reconstructor for 5 minutes and then I tried the Elasta QP DPR DC. I left this on for 45 min without heat and then I sat under my hooded dryer for 20 minutes.. I rinsed with cool water added my leave in's Aphogee Green Tea Keratin and a dime size Chi silk and my IC heat protectant (pink bottle) and then I tshirt dried for about 15 minutes and then blow dried on cool air until dry.. I flat ironed only running the iron on each section once.

Here are the results

I did a pin curl set but I didnt take any pics yet.. I will post once I take out the set. Overall I am very happy with my growth and hair's health this relaxer!

13 weeks post! 4 more to go!

Hi All


Stretching is getting easier and easier!! The only bad part of stretching for me is getting to anxious to see my progress. I started my journey off at really thin neck length hair. The dominican hair shop blew my hair from root to tip for about 2 months and I saw my nice hair dwindle away right before my eyes! I then found various hair care forums and the 1st thing I noticed was the practice of stretching your relaxers. This is my second stretch since the start of my journey, my 1st ending at 12 weeks exactly. That was the hardest thing i've ever done, lol The knots and tangles were fierce and the breakage and shedding is scary! This time around, I'm learning my hair and what it needs and thrives on. I found a great staple which is helping me stretch(Cantu Shea Butter Leave in) which just melts my NG.


Here are some pics of the current 13 weeks post NG. I hoping to be full SL when I relax in 4 weeks!
