Finally made APL (the back layer at least)... on to BSB this Christmas! (hopefully I make it before then!
 
Trying to make myself get up and cowash my hair. I know I will feel better as soon as I get in the shower but taking that first step takes a lot of effort.
 
Some days I love my texlaxed strands..others (like today) I just want it bone straight to KISS.....doing a touch up in about 2 weeks 14 weeks post maybe I'll take the plunge
 
I wonder now that I'm relaxed if it's easier for me to decipher what issues my hair is having. I mean I can feel it and tell if it's dry or needs a it of protein. I can also see what products do what ie bad conditioners vs good ones. I will trashing about 4-5 bottles tomorrow bc my hair felt like straw after last nights cowash with Organix Coconut milk conditioner and Tresseme moisture conditioner.
 
My DS hair is so thick and just sucks up everything I've been having thoughts of using the pink stuff in his hair. None of many good stuff is working, even the Dcing only last a day lol. Maybe i should whip some of that shea butter and oils together first.
 
Philippians413 the way I get my hair to have lots of body is using redken smoothdown on my wet hair, airdrying and then blowdrying when its about 70-85% dry. Then I flat iron. I don't add any more heat protectant. I also make sure to deep condition my hair for about 3 hrs so I can have as much moisture as possible. By doing this my hair has salon style and lots of shine. hope this helped a little bc I was having the hardest time getting that body that I get from the hair salon.
 
My bottles for me to put my eco gel in have arrived :grin:those tubs they come in are too big for my cabinet and i refuse to have anything on the floor :nono:
 
Welp, I'm in a new salon and getting a wash n set. I'm gonna get my roots blown after i'm done with the rollers under the dryer. Coming to the salon reminds me of why I prefer to do it myself - I use the right amount of conditioner and a lot and my hair usually has good slip when it's time to rollerset. They put me under the dryer and took me out in 6 minutes - no bueno. Idk if they r trying to conserve their energy bill. But if that is the case - I will start to wash and deep condition at home and then let them rollerset and blow my roots especially since I'd like to stretch for another 8 wks. The washing and deep conditioning is the meat and potatoes of my hair regimen anyway. I'd gladly let them rollerset and blow- but I am anal about washing, conditioning and detangling.

Brittster That's what I do. I wash and DC my hair and go to the salon for a rollerset. It's cheaper (as I am only charged for a wetset as opposed to being charged for a shampoo and set) and my hair is healthier.
 
Just saw this on tumblr. How cute is she!

Yeah, bc I gv my hair the tlc it needs when I wash it. I can wash it, sit under my heat cap for how lib I pls and let them do the part I can't do as well as them - rollerset and blow. I just don't want to look cheap or ghetto. It's really more abt my hair health than skimping on $2. I hope when I do that next wk they don't side eye me for coming in with a conditioning cap and my scarf over it.
 
Welp - just came in from the hairdresser. I wasn't too happy with the way she did my blow out. There is actually an art to blowing roots. I've had hairdressers blow out your roots and you're not flinching from the heat on your scalp and they'll section your hair off and blow and kinda take their time and your roots are nice and straight. I moved to a different neighborhood and this salon is literally right across the street from me. There is another salon in walking distance - I'm going to try them next weekend and I hope I have a better experience there.
 
E.U.R.E.K.A!!! I can't believe all the products I've been overlooking as useless on my shelves are turning out to be gems.

Skala lissative + grapeseed oil + honey = the softest, tangle free hair and ENDS on the planet!

I've had the Skala for nearly a year but I've always been like. "I'll get to you eventually." I looked at it this weekend and it said "hair smoothening system" so I gave it a go instead of my usual shea butter conditioner. :lick:

Revisiting the faux bun. I need keep my ends baggied until I figure how to combat this dry cold air. I really like MsVcharles' method.
 
3 months post BC, it's interesting to see the different rates of growth across my head. My goal is a blunt cut so I really want the crown to grow but it's lagging. The back was growing so fast I had to cut it because it was giving my TWA a funny shape.
