Thanks again. The shine is from my coconut/sesame oil mix. Coconut oil is my hair crack! Only 6 hours, what happened that you took them out so soon?Nice growth and retention. Your hair looks healthy and has a nice shine.
I'll trade my bun for your cornrowsI had it in all of 6 hours and I was done.
Congrats!!!! you are welcome to stay but make sure you still go over to the APL thread too!!
but gained volume and its swanging!
Your hair is gorgeous, the health really shows.
I wish my hair looked half as good back when I would relax my hair.
I relaxed at 10weeks.... I had to I noticed extra breakage not the usual 12 week stretch im used to. I didnt gain any length I dont think, my last length check was April so wasnt expecting it
More pics in my album + next relaxer in Sept
I washed them on Tuesday after banding them in 6 sections and massaging the shampoo and conditioner into the banded sections. Then I took the bands out and just let them air dry loose. None of them unraveled and it wasn't too fuzzy. I actually got little curls on the ends of my twists and I've never had that happen before.
good news: My hair is looking a lot better so maybe it was for the best. Plus she pointed out that my so called "crown breakage" looks like it may not have been breakage at all. After she straightened it and had me look at it closer-it seems as if my hair was actually accidentally CUT up there!!! The way my hair was braided when I had my sew ins it makes perfect since....looks like during the take down process I or my old stylist snipped at my own hair! Oh well, can't do anything about it now. majorly pissed, but at least I know my hair isn't randomly falling out up there. My nape on the other hand....
Ok I tried my 1st bun today. Was late to work trying to fool with it.
I tried 1st with the panty hose and elastic band but found that the banana clip is easier. I have a lot of hair to try to get into it. And it draws up fast.
I am hoping it looks better in person than it does in the pictures.

I've had my twists in for a week and a half now. This is the longest I've kept twists in
This is how it looked when it was air drying. A little fuzzy and crazy but I was pleased that I could actually wash them.
I'm just wearing a head band today. Next wash day is Tuesday...that'll make 2 weeks.
She cut my hair!! Went to a new stylist...figured she would cut off about an inch but she went for 3.
Bad news: I'm back chilling at CBL.

My hair seems to be a little bit closer to SL, but I'm not comfortable claiming it yet. Hopefully by the end of the year I'll be able to raise the SL flag high and shout it from the mountain tops

You will be there long before the end of the year. I think you will be ready to claim it at least by the end of the summer. Then you can swang it in that crazy guards face. And give him a "How ya like me now?"
. The nice lady cop was the first one to say "oooh it's different. I like it!!" but his ignorant behind had to go there with me. Ugh. He got the nerve to rock a flat top from '92 but giving me grief.
