Can ponytails be a ps?

Can ponytails be a ps?

No. Protective styles require your ends to be tucked away from the drying air. Any styles where your ends are exposed is not a protective style. People say loose twists and braids are protective. They are not. They are low manipulation styles unless you wear them in a way that you hair's ends are hidden. Cornrows/weaves and flat twist are protective styles, especially if the tail ends are tucked under.

I need to take my braids down I put in to wear under my wigs but I'm feeling lazy

naija24 The only way to make a ponytail a protective style is to hide your ends and put a phony pony on top. I do that and baggy my real pony. You can't see my hair or the bag underneath.

So I need to take this weave out yet really don't feel the motivation to do so.

I found Lacio Lacio at my local Dominican BSS today for $8.99 (which is great because I didn't want to have to pay more ordering online!). It seems popular in this forum, and it claims to address porous hair directly, so I bought it...and so far I really like it! I tried it on clean, air dried hair (fully dried). I like that I didn't have to add water underneath it to activate/enhance the benefits (like with most leave ins). I noticed a decrease in frizz and roughness right away, and my hair looked darker and more moist. I have my hair in a bun so I can't say whether all my strands still feels soft, but the bun itself still feels pretty moisturized. I am very pleased with the first impression.

Whew 9 weeks of dirt!

Hair stuff came in the mail today ❤! Has anyone used the Komaza Care Matani Hair Serum before? It says it can be used for hair protection also so I'm excited to try it

Just wanna complain that my hair is annoying me today.

i'm going to kendra wilkinson's birthday today at chanteau lol and I have no effin clue what to do with my hair. ugh i'm definitely not straightening it. I straightened a piece of my wannabe bangs to see what it would look like if I had it in a messy bun with bangs and it's just real awkward, my hair in the front is shameful because of all the heat it's been through. I might have to resort to just doing the twist in the front all the way back to the bun like usual, i don't have much of a choice at this point really. sigh SAY NO to heat

Hehehe. I know the feeling.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

I usually feel I need a DC once a week but this s-curl is serious! I don't feel I need any more moisture at this time.

 

[PureSilver]

pre_medicalrulz, are you natural or relaxed? Either way your hair is pretty.

 

[Tonto]

I need to get some sheers....

 

[MsDee14]

I think I'll DC more often. My hair feels so soft. Maybe once a month going forward.

 

[TwoSnapsUp]

Think I'm only going to use scurl and njoys sulfur mix in my hair for the next 4+ weeks.
They both require so little time to apply.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

SUNSHINE BABY

Thanks. I'm relaxed.

Being 6ft tall with a 5 inch high puff while wearing heels makes it difficult to not stand out. Never been stared at so much in my life last night

Welp, not visiting that other hair forum for awhile. . . again . This always happens to me. I'll be all aboard in fighting the power, and then I get to that point where I believe that people have the right to choose to do what they please. That people can, and are, entitled to make informed, personal decisions, even if that leaves them fitting in with the "status quo" . It's can be the result of a choice rather than some kind of forced assimilation .

See, I already had to hand over my feminist card, because I thought that being a housewife and wanting to be taken care of was a totally respectable choice . Now I'm going to have to hand in my nappy card, because I don't believe that relaxers are handcrafted by the Devil himself and black women are the only group who shouldn't be allowed to straighten their hair EVER . Damn!

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

^^^ People trip me out. Yea...just stay over here w/ us or the HL/TBL challenge thread. We are all sane.

Doing a serious DC with coconut oil, a little honey, and two Organix deep conditioners mixed with Tresemmé Flawless Curls Conditioner. My hair has been getting super dry lately so I know that I need to do better. Hopefully, this will get my hair back on the right track.

I am shocked by how soft my hair turned out! Next time I will be sure to make enough to coat my hair well. I am happy that AyurNaturals is open again because I really want to do cassia treatments.

I'm really going to need my dad to stop telling me my hair is going to fall out because I "mess with it too much" when I detangle, wash and DC once a week ...

 

[NJoy]

Wearing my hair in a twist out. My dad called me Pam Grier. Compliment to me but I think he meant it too be funny. I thanked him and kept it moving. Hmph.

Going back to monthly henna! I haven't retained length since I stopped! Hubby is going to help apply & rinse it out. I stopped when I reached MBL out of laziness! I'm still MBL! SMH! Onward to WL henna hair by December this year!
