I am now a believer in the moistrizing spritz. It's a nice change from just oil and water. It's too chilly for walking around with damp hair. Just a quick spritz and I'm done. The downside is this is going to feed my product junkyism until I find the best one for my hair. So far the Bee Mine one is really good but I don't care for the smell.

I really need to make that travel haircare kit. Was away from home without my beloved products and needed to give my hair some attention. No bueno.
 
My mom bc'd for the second time in May, now her twa is like medium sized. All she does is wash 3 times a week with keracare shampoo and apply paul mitchell the conditioner. She wears her hair out everyday. I guess low manipulation plays a bigger part than I thought.

I was so excited when I read that you admitted to being waist length! :spinning: Congratulations! Don't worry, there's no way you'll have a setback within 3 days. I suggest wearing a big ol' turban everywhere you go for your hair's safety, your hair needs to be in witness protection.

LOL!!!! ;)
 
I'm confused is LongHairDontCare2011 a heat-trained natural? I never see her with her hair not straighten looking... no big deal, just curious.

protein-overloaded hair = super reversion!!!!!. My hair was curling up when I would release the flat iron :look:

I wonder if this translates to relaxers...I find my hair is becoming more and more resistant to my relaxer and I use a lot of protein in my regimen.

Maybe I'll try easing off the protein for a week before a relaxer (or just avoid the roots) and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for that post above Kurlee:yep: For the last year my relaxers have not been taking well but after your observation I considered if it could apply to me...I cowash daily and use a lot of protein. This past relaxer was great:grin: I used no protein on my ng the week prior and it came out great:yep:
 
I've been fighting this sickness for the past couple of days and I was starting to think I didn't dilute my relaxer enough. It stayed pretty straight even though I've been sweating everyday and night. I moisturized my hair for the church breakfast today.

And this happened, I'm so happy I perfectly texlaxed my hair

I still believe this is going to be a waste of a good relaxer. smh Working out every day will not even allow me to wear my hair out anyway. It'll still be under a wig for the rest of 2013 and I really didn't want to wear wigs consistently anymore. Neither do I plan on using a flat iron just to get my desired look. What a waste~

OK um we cannot have you NOT enjoying your hard work ma'am! So I think you should coast through spring only to protect your hair during your workouts. Come March and that first snap of warmth and summer?? Kill it in shorts and a bun drop!!!! Then rock all summer. Go back to protective mode in the fall.

She is heat trained. But, she's trying not to use heat these days, saying her ends are too thin and she'd like to thicken up her hemline (paraphrasing, of course). I think in her last video she said she's wearing it braided.
 
Now that I finally got a new flatiron I am too exhausted to use it:/ 12 more weeks and I can start to feel like myself again.

I have been on POINT with my conditioning, DCing, and M&Sing since the holiday break started. My new growth is LOVING it...I know because it feels ten times softer, my kinks & curls are poppin', and they are managable and easy to detangle. My relaxed hair is breaking off a *tiny* bit from the moisture load so my next condition with will be a moisturizing protein DC. It'll prepare me perfectly for my relaxer touch up on the 26th.
 
Today I decided that I was going to get a relaxer touch up. Then I put some wave neavou in my hair. and decided I can stretch a little longer.
 
I am sooo not in the mood to re-style this updo so I can go out in a few hours, I've been so lazy with my hair these past several weeks
 
I gave a girlfriend a hair care package for Christmas. ...I like to add a little foolishness. .. soooo....I bought some blond braid hair and used it like tissue paper through the box:giggle:
 
This review made me chuckle.....but it's really something to think about:

Ultra Sheen Satin Creme Press**Review By GiGi***11/03/2012 21:10
I am very upset to hear that Ultra Sheen Satin Creme Press is being discontinued. Was it because it worked too well on black women"s hair? Is the makers of this wonderful product changing to cheaper quality pressing oil? If so, I do not plan to buy any more Ultra Sheen products.
 
I'm thinking of buying some marley hair to do my buns with. I'm just gonna get some to play around with. I dyed my hair jet black a while ago so I hope it matches up well.
 
Lord be with me I just had a girl say that your hair falls out after having a baby because you wash it. Someone else just said naturals can't wash their hair. I had to walk away
 
Its dead on the whole forum. Everybody getting ready for the holidays. I'm sure it'll explode in a few days. ;) IM EXCITED that I have a date for New Years & I'll be able to rock my own hair w/ a fresh relaxer. *happy dance* Well let me not dance so hard cause I could still get stood up. :-/
 
SelahOco I did not see it coming. I was on the phone with someone from the forum so I was distracted. LOL! She had such a cute accent. She asked if my hair was all mine and that it was very pretty. :)
