You did nothing bad at all. Just giving the praise you earned.

And I'm doing well by God's grace, thanks. I hope you're doing great too?

Your boss? Boss in the Lord?

Lol... don't mind him.

bennyann:


Amen dear. Thank you so much

Brother, if anything should happen to me now, i don't know what I will do to myself but I believe and know that God hasn't brought me this far to fall eventually. He who has brought me this far will give me the grace to end victoriously. And I'm also determined to be a vessel in God's hands to show forth His glory. It hasn't been all rosy but God is on the throne.

About work, I can say it's OK but I need something better. Only when I get that better one can I start thinking of involving myself in a relationship because I don't want to be a liability, I hate it.

So please remember me in your prayers. Hope you're good too?

I moved here cos i don't want to derail the other thread.

Am good too...

Every one wants an upgrade.. Am sure you would get it when the time is right..

Its one thing to want an upgrade, its another thing to be ready for the upgrade..

Take a chill a pill where you are and learn everything you need and can learn where you are so that when the opportunity comes along you would be fit and not need to struggle with the new level.

All in all you be fine.. You are strong and it would all end in praise..

So you not even ready for a relationship self...

No worries i would remember you in my prayers anytime the lord brings it to mind..

Hope you having fun though?

Thank you so much dear. I'll heed your advice but someday you'll understand why I need the upgrade now.

And yes I'm not ready for a relationship because I want to be financially stable before.

Talking about fun, I hope someday I get to know and experience the true meaning.

Good to know you're good.

I say that about fun because I'm mostly by myself. I don't allow myself experience fun as I should I think but I'm content for now. I believe I will know the real meaning of fun when I meet him

Not the hair, do you know how perms damage hair? Don't even mention the chemicals that will seep into your system during the process? Just hide it in weave or a wig if you have to and you'll be good.

Hello sis, are you there? Please I want to know your view on something.

Some few days ago, someone introduced me to a product that softens the natural hair texture. The problem I have with it is it looks exactly like a relaxer kit.

Though I was told it only loosens the hair texture and stretches it naturally.

Do you know about such products and if it truly doesn't alter the natural hair structure?

One of them I can recall is called 'just for me'.

onyenze123:


Go on

Yeye

bennyann:



Yeye

sweet heart, you know you can share anything bothering you with me

I've not seen it before but its most likely a relaxer. Check the ingredients/chemical composition. These are the various relaxers in the market ...

Your is labelled as a No lye (relaxer)

Alkaline and lye relaxers Edit
Garrett Augustus Morgan observed that it is possible to change the basic structure of the hair shaft when certain chemicals penetrate the cortical layer. Hair relaxing products often require washing and combing with soap which had been made with excess lye. The scalp can suffer severe chemical burns if over exposed to lye or no-lye relaxers.

A lye relaxer consists of sodium hydroxide (also known as NaOH or lye) mixed with water, petroleum jelly, mineral oil, and emulsifiers to create a creamy consistency. On application, the caustic "lye cream" permeates the protein structure of the hair and weakens its internal bonds, causing the natural curls to loosen out as the entire fiber swells open. No special deactivation step is required after washing the lye cream out, other than the routine pH adjustment and hair-conditioning.

Manufacturers vary the sodium hydroxide content of the solution from 5% to 10% and the pH between 10 and 14.

"Base" and "no base" formulas Edit
Entirely distinct from the chemical concept of base as a wider definition for "alkaline", lye relaxers may be labelled as "base" or "no base". In this instance, the "base" refers to a preliminary coating of petroleum jelly onto the scalp to protect it from being irritated or burned by the lye cream. "No base" creams have a lower concentration of lye and may be applied directly to the hair roots without requiring the protective "base" layer, although these weaker products may still irritate the skin of some people who must therefore coat their scalps beforehand anyway.

"No lye" relaxers
Because of increasing awareness of the potential dangers of sodium hydroxide found in traditional relaxer formulas, many women have begun abandoning them.[1] "No-lye" relaxers have become increasingly popular.

"No-lye" relaxers are of three main types.

One type operates on the same general principle as lye relaxers but uses a slightly weaker alkaline agent, such as potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, or guanidine hydroxide. The last of these is not pre-formulated, but rather is generated at the time of use by combining a cream containing calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) with an "activating solution" of guanidine carbonate.

Another type of "no-lye" relaxer uses ammonium thioglycolate, which is also known as perm salt for its use in permanent waves. Perm salt is a chemical reducing agent which selectively weakens the hair's cystine bonds instead of disrupting the entire protein, but strips out the natural oils even more thoroughly than the alkali hydroxide products. Afterward, the thioglycolate must be oxidized with a special solution of hydrogen peroxide or sodium bromate.

Lastly, in most relaxers sold for home use, the active agents are ammonium sulfite and ammonium bisulfite (the two compounds are interchangeable, depending on the surrounding pH). These also selectively reduce the cystine bonds, but are much weaker and work more slowly. Nevertheless, their mild action minimizes (but does not entirely eliminate) collateral irritation to the skin.

Oh sis! I'm sorry for replying late after you came to my rescue forgive me please.

You see, it wasn't labelled a 'relaxer', that's why I'm kind of tempted to think it's OK for the natural (virgin) hair. I was told it just softens the natural hair and does no damage to it. I just wanted to be so sure before I consider getting one.

Thanks again sis.

But now you know what it's all about, may I know your opinion on whether I should go for it or not?

No prob.

As I have posted above, they all interfere with the structure of the hair. Go for it if you really want to and ensure to only use genuine products, treat regularly.

But there will not be turning back, and you can always grow it again when you want to revert to natural.

I don't want to go through the stress of growing it again.
I'll keep it still. Thanks sis
