My organization at school held an event where people can make length check t-shirts, and this girl just really wasn't understanding. She was like. "Wait... So you measure your hair to see how long it is before you chop it all off and give it to locks of love? I think they tell you how long it is, you don't need to do it yourself." Lol it was fun trying to explain the importance to the white girls who participated.

Daughter where have you been girl? I haven't seen you on the board for ages LOL. I tried henna in the past it wasn't for me as my ends ended up crunchy and dry no matter how many times I deep conditioned I'm now embracing the greys :grin: I love cassia though.

Hi! temfash! Been on the off topic boards more lately, but my hair isn't thanking me for it right now :lol: Cassia though...haven't given that a try...
 
So bored & lazy today. Its way too beautiful outside for me to feel like this. Maybe I should DC & find a good movie until I fall asleep.
 
Boston cold weather is so much better for my hair than DC cold weather. Oddly my hair is not hard at all, its still really soft and my hair is loving the glycerin in the spritz I am using. I wonder if its cause of all the snow/so close to the ocean.....Eitherway Boston might be good for my hair....
 
I miss that feeling of getting your hair washed at the salon. It always feels soo good. I'm considering just making an appointment for a wash, then walk out with my tshirt on my hair to finish the rest at home..I'm sure someone here has done that before
 
OMGosh this ng is thick! Made a nice hair haul with the SIL yesterday. We were like 2 kids in a candy store, wandering around the largest bss in all of NC. Its only 1 mile from me...gotta put myself on punishment cuz i go straight bananas in there...every time i go there, they have like 5-10 new product lines. Plus their wig selection almost makes a sistah shed tears of joy. :)

Cant wait to try my new products on my daughter and I.

My hair has pretty much reached BSL. But........... it's thin, I have a few spots where hair has somehow broken off (leaving 3-4 inches of hair), my ends are raggedy looking with SSKs galore (AND the SSKs are like 1-2 inches up the strand) !!!! To add insult to injury, I have noticed ALOT of shedding. Long strands just coming out as I run my hands through (while under the shower water). :mad:

So I have now reached a decent length but little health!! Healthy strands are MUCH MORE important than length. Now, I am going to focus on health. I'm going to straighten my hair so I can trim the ugly ends off. Then I'm going to cornrow it up under a wig--I'll dc weekly and redo cornrows every 4-6 weeks.

What else can I do? :perplexed
 
I love being part of this community and I don't know what I would have done without all the knowledge here. But, I don't feel like I am learning anything new anymore. I feel like I might be personally outgrowing it, but I just want to hang on for dear life.

Yes I understand. I think after I was told that my natural hair needed protein and to stick with what I know, I don't seek advice often. I have knowledge and a few books. I appreciate all advice given while I was figuring it out.

I joined a few challenges to keep me on track. I try to offer my advice when I can.

Fortunately there are other forums here I enjoy. :)

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
So I tried youtube's patchouli85 way of pre-pooing and flat ironing and my hair turned out much better BUT it didn't have the relaxed look I was looking for. And I'm finally ok with that. I realized my hair is not meant to be that straight. I loved the result though. Just wish it didn't take 2 hours just to flat iron (hair is way too thick).

Ogoma Yesterday was the first time I've been on the hair side of the forum in over a year. And even then, it was to search for something specific. There's so much more to learn...and enjoy, in the other sections. Now, I more so find myself in the relationships, beauty, health/exercise, and (when completely bored) entertainment section.
 
I haven't straightened my hair since 2006.I'd like think of using a flat iron but I'm so scared of heat damage, plus I don't want to spend £££ on a straightener/flat iron when I'd rarely use it. Maybe I'll get some curlformers...

Loving my newly natural hair!!!

Just put my hair in twists that I will keep in for the week and I'll rock a twist-out this weekend.
 
I saw SAMY mousse on sale at Ulta for 4.79 so I bought 3 cans. Then I saw it at Walmart for under 4 dollars.

ALSO... I went looking for the new Herbal Essences! You know the ones that are sultfate free and silicone free? Well guess what?

It's the SHAMPOO that is SILICONE FREE
and the CONDITIONER is SULFATE FREE

They think we the buying customers are dumber than rocks!
 
My hair has been washed, deep conditioned and detangles... and I don't know what to do to it! I'm waiting for a wig to come in the mail. I wonder if I will just rock head wraps for a moment. I kinda feel like keeping that week for when I go out though...

IMO the archives are gold:yep: I stay finding stuff that was talked about long ago and forgotten or things that were touched upon in the past and now new technology is possible to make them a reality etc. plus i always find that companies are creating new technology and innovating. I don't think a week goes by where i don't find something new!
 
Am I the only one who still buys oil sheen just for the smell,(keracare and design essentials smells lovely)and because I feel like as a black girl I should own some:lol:
