I feel so fresh and so clean clean right now. Hair washed,protein treated and dced with heat. Now it's air drying cross wrapped and under my pretty little pink wrap scarf. I feel like a g. Not much hair when I washed and combed it came out.Still a few shred hairs but not much breakage. Maybe my hair as relaxed/texlaxed can really strive and grow this time. I also will say I think I'm not one of those who can forget their hair and just chill. I will have to be a bit more active in mines. But it's cool bc I'm single no kids and have some time in the evenings while working out to cowash.
 
Bought my 2nd comb from hotcombs, I love the big rake comb, got a smaller one for distributing conditioner and smoothing the hair. My transition is now a stretch, I plan to relax in a few weeks.

Awww. Well at least it wasn't for some super bogus reason. I didn't know you you can't color hair while pregnant..Congrats tho! I hope your delivery goes smoothly..
 
Last wknd I got my hair weaved up. Client after me was natural and her hair was dry and just...tough looking. She was tearing up her hair with a comb :nono: so I offered her some of my spray. I had a spray bottle with a mix of water and conditioner. :yep:

As I was leaving, both the client and the stylist were flagging me down :lachen: They wanted to know where they could buy my spray. :lachen: I said it's just water and conditioner!!!

They were looking at me as if I'd just turned water into wine. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
 
Cheekychica maybe you have a new enterprise on the horizon? You never know.

I love doing my hair now like the wash,and dc. I use my dc time as bible study time too. Hope my hair comes out smooth tomorrow since I cross wrapped and airdryed.

May I get in on this? I buy from www.mehandi.com. I use distilled water and lemon juice from the little plastic bottle as per the directions. I let the mix set 12 hours before using it. I've never tried anything else with it.

I get mine from mehandi and hennasooq. I am afraid to use lemon. I am afraid of dry hair. This was henna number seven for me and my first using red raj. I used henna for African hair the first few times then Jamila. Now I am using the red raj. They all have different dye release times. The henna for African I kernels overnight the other two 4 hours.

My second week in a row using 613 and my hair is acting all brand new :yep: Chaz where have you been all my life? Just where?
 
I was getting a little frustrated seeing all these naturals who bc'd around the same time as me pass me up in growth and retention, but I'm just gonna keep on trucking. Did a trim using Naptural85's method and my hair feels great. Snipping the ends of twists was clearly doing me no good :nono:

ETA: Here's a link to my first ever YouTube video showing how I trimmed:blush:

My braid out was weave checked and complimented twice at church today. Like @Nix08, I acted nonchalant about it, but inside I was beyond excited. :grin:

(Usually my stepdad is the only one that says my hair looks nice, or has grown. :lol: He knows that I take my hair care very seriously, and he has beautiful locs, so he 'gets it'. Well, the SO says nice things about it, but only when I wear out styles.)
 
NappyNelle lol! My Persian manager thought my braidout was 'artificial' the other day too! I was only offended for a moment lol he said it looks so perfect so he thought it was something I got done at a shop. Silly me thinking a braidout kicked me out that challenge.
 
-PYT Awww! And no, braid outs are fine as long as you have your ends up and out of the way for five consecutive days. The other two days of your week are freebies, so swang that hurr. :lol:
 
My stylist trimmed my ends a couple days ago. He knows I hate having my ends trimmed unless it's absolutely necessary so I guess it was needed.:ohwell::wallbash: Funny thing was I was considering going off Hairfinity temporarily because my hair was growing faster than I can keep up with and then add that it's practically summer?:perplexed Well not anymore. I'm making sure I'm doing everything right. I'm determined to make BSL before I go to Hawaii in August.:yep:
 
I think I'm going to have to take a break from sewins. My edges ate breaking off. I wish I had caught it sooner because they are broken to like 1 1/2 investment all around my perimeter. I wear full sewins with a closure so it's not heat, self install so I know it's not tight braiding, and wear all my installs for less than 6 weeks at a time. I guess I'll bun it for now or wear phony ponies over a bun. I don't even want to try wigging it because it's obvious my fine strands can't take the braiding.

A setback is upon me.

Time for a major cut and some senagalese twists for 8 weeks.

I like being fully relaxed. I mean, it's still not bone bone straight, but it's already so much easier to style. And really that's the word....I have a style now and don't have to rely on a headband. Think I will just let it grow out to a blunt length bob. That way I can keep my regimen of just laying it down and not have to worry about what I'll do for the nape. So that really means babying the crown and keeping it happy. Will really have to keep up w/ my touchups.

So once my crown reaches all the way to my nape, I'll start growing it down for more length, all with keeping it blunt. That'll be cool b/c I would be able to wear a ponytail by then anyway.
 
I, and my hair, are having a multiple personality attack... Curly? Straight? Poofy?? I don't know anymore!! I'm going to keep it in braids, and hidden for the week....I need to figure out how I want my hair. :ohwell:
 
STILL detangling and twisting my hair in mini twists. I'm about 75% done. I WILL finish today...when I find time. :look:
 
Oh when I get more length it will be trouble. I have a bad hand in hair disorder. I redid my bun and it was so mad silky. I just air dryed no heat. I didn't even comb my hair I just hand smoothed my hair this morning. I see now doing two big french braids after washing will make hair happy. I love hair yay
 
I really hope I get my naturalee package today. At first it said it was "expected" to be delivered by today, now it says by tomorrow.
 
I can't believe I cut off all my hair. Bravest thing I ever did. I still feel self concious about it but I think I did the right thing. My hair was too damaged.

I want to try comb coils when it gets longer. I plan on staying natural this time. I just don't want to spend too much time styling my hair.
