Throwback Thursday - A creamy crack appointment.

Lol! I was going through some pictures and stumbled upon this one from 2010 where I was about to get a
touch up (or 'retouch' as we call it).

On the trolley there you will sight what was my creamy crack of choice for over 15 years - Dark and Lovely in the regular strength. My stylist then  - Aunty Lola ( I have since become my own stylist :) ) was prepping my relaxer by mixing the activator into the tub of relaxer.

I remember those days so well - section hair in 3, 1 in the back and 2 in front, apply vaseline to hairline, apply relaxer to new growth (it literally physically hurts me when I see people applying relaxer to the whole head of hair, but truth be told, many years ago I was guilty of that same mistake) comb with a big comb, use a small comb to smooth, wait till it begins to tingle, rinse, condition and style. Lol.

These days though when I section my hair, it's to apply deep conditioner or henna - and no tingling or burning sensation thank you very much.
