I am so cheating since i relaxed my hair isnt full so i couldnt make a bun with the donunt so i cut a whole in my wig cap and put that over the dunut so when i bun you cant see the spaces and it keeps my hair in better shape!!

Looks good! I have to do the same thing with my relaxed hair when I wear a donut bun
 
I made it 1 week post wash.
I wanted to make 2 weeks, but my scalp started flaking. I just finished rinsing out my DC.

Today I shampooed and did a protein treatment treatment with duotex.. then rinsed and did a deep condition w/ Aussie moist 3 minute deeep conditioner.

My hair feels strong yet soft.

I decided to skip the blowdry and let my hair air dry stretched and then bunned.

I guess I'll be washing in the next 5-7 days again and miiight blow dry or might skip it. We shall see.

Lol Girrrrl the only advice I have for moisturizing in the winter months is stay up on DC, moisturizing, & sealing...then cover it with a wig!

My hair stays moisturized if it's covered and in a PS
 
Workin working workin on some progresses. Will see by my next relaxer (march) if I will get to APL by my goal date (June/July).
 
Back to cowashing, so far so good. Gonna pick up some hats so I don't freeze to death though.

I've noticed that I may have damage..my roots are extremely coarse compares to the ends. I don't think heat did it, I'm suspecting too much dying. I really don't wanna do big chop number 6 tho :(

My ends have texture while the roots just frizz!!
 
Noticed that my hair started snagging after dusting my ends so yesterday I prepoo'ed/detangled with TJNS condish in 6 sections, cleansed my scalp then did a light protein treatment with Ouidads 12 min deep treatment using heat. Rinsed then applied Organicals Deep conditioning creme for moisture. I styled my wash and go with GDLI and CDs Hair Milk on my ends and fluffed with Safflower Oil

Last night I slept in a few pineapples which is my usual nighttime routine, this morning I re moisturized the areas that needed retouching with KCNT and Yellow Shea butter (aka African butter). Since my last PT was 2 months ago I'll do light pt's every 2 months going forth

Checking in

I'm still on track for this year, but maybe in summer/fall instead of spring. No setbacks though, just recalculating :lol:

My hair and scalp have been D-R-Y lately thanks to the cold weather and dry air. I've had to shampoo more often using Body Shop Ginger scalp care shampoo to stop the itchies, but it's harsher on my hair than my regular shampoo :nono:

I've been really good with baggying this month so I'm trying to keep it up.
 
Went to buy a flat iron @ Ulta today. Bad customer service. I'll probably just go to Sally's for a Gold'n'Hot. I hope it works. I usually get a "fluffy" flatiron result and and I don't think it's my technique.
 
I washed and DC'd my hair last weekend and I was surprised by how close I am to APL now. I have about an inch and a half to go. If I reach and pass APL by our check in in March I'd cut back up to APL to freshen up my ends because they are on life support :lol:
 
Guys I've been away for soooo long because of school and having two jobs :( I'm getting closer and I'm really excited to get closer to my end goal of middle back length.

Speaking of being bored...

I've wanted bangs with a blunt cut for a while...like years. I'm getting to the point where I think I'm going to do it. FLOTUS is my inspiration. I figure if I'm going to copy someone, why not her?
 
Thank you. I got it trimmed after taking that picture. She didn't even have to take off much. Maybe ¼ inch? I thought it'd be much more. I'll have to take an "after" picture lol.
 
I did my wash, 2step, DC, my hair felt full and soft. I ised TJNS for my poo for first time :). If only I had edges I would rock a fro. I got a sew-in after wiggin it for awhile.

Tell me why my lil brother over here trying to argue with me about hair talking bout water will dry my hair out so I should only use oils on my hair. this discussion is futile lol 0.o

On another note my product addiction has been stopped cold turkey. I had to give all my hair products away during the move so until I get to a store I'm on a water & oil regimen only. :/ hopefully my hair will be cool for like a week

Girl I "argued" with my cousin about whether leave-in conditioner would revert my hair. She ain't been natural since she was 10 but she's an expert now.
 
what makes chi think they can charge that much for a hair dryer? is the the life of the product that they are selling? i think i am going to get a 25 dollar tourmaline ceramic dryer and call it a day. i don't even know if they are really what they say they are, but i just need it to dry, right?
 
Got my trim for the new year...less than 1/4 in....stylist says my hair is very healthy. Installing mini twists today.
 
i saw the big bottles of the new loreal ceramide shampoo and condistioner and... being a big hair care bottle addict... had to get them even if i don't like the product. i have high hopes, however.
 
  1. Current hair length :Shoulder length(line 2) I'm 2 inches away from APL...(APL is on line 4)
  2. Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning : Relaxed-Texlaxed
  3. Goal Month: May 2013
  4. Current Reggie and styling choices: Cowashing daily, airdrying, bunning
  5. What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL? Keeping my ends healthy and moisturized.

Well I went to the salon to get my hair straightened and clipped. I walked in with SL hair... Almost CBL...and walked out with Neck length hair. I'm not mad though. When she straightened it I had really terrible ends. It was BAD. I gave her to go ahead to cut of almost 3". I like the results. My hair looks and feels healthy and it's bouncy.

It will take me a bit longer to reach my goal but I think if I take care of my hair I can still make it to APL this year.
