Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!
THAT is so smart! I will be stealing that idea!
OMG- your TWA is so dense and thick and pretty!
WOW! Your hair is beautiful! I love your kinky twists, too! WELCOME!
:wow:Girl, you are the STYLE QUEEN! Your hair is SO pretty! LOVE IT!!!!
Thankx!
July 11th officially made it 9 months post. So i was about 9 months and 2 weeks post.
I use a goody headband but its for children so it smaller than the regular sized adult ones.
THAT is so smart! I will be stealing that idea!
My BC date: 6/11/09 (2 month anni today!
Transition time: Mmmh last relaxer was January 31, 2009. So I guess about 5 months.
Hair type: 4a/b...? Not sure if Im mostly 4a or 4b but I know it is softer in the back then in the front. I had a short style that I was letting grow out so all the parts that received the most relaxer is rougher than the areas that didnt (like the back)
Products: Mmmh...I am a true PJ SMDH. I have them everywhere but right now my staples are Cantu Leave In, Glycerin/Water mix, Coconut oil, and a spray by Taliah Wajid (or something like that). I also really like Herbal Essence's Hello Hydration con, Olive Oil Aloe Vera poo, and V05 cheapie conditioners. 2 months fully au natural so Im still trying to figure out what works for my hair. Pics in album. Congrats ladies on your BC's!
OMG- your TWA is so dense and thick and pretty!
WOW! Your hair is beautiful! I love your kinky twists, too! WELCOME!Here's the updo I did with my twists for work today...
The back was a little fuzzy (these are end of day pics) but overall I really liked it, and it was easy. Plus, you can add all kinds of barettes, flowers, and assorted hair candy.

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!
Wow you ladies are doing the most! I need to step up my styling game after seeing SOS, Soliel, and FM doing big things. You ladies are giving me a lot of inspiration. I'm ready to take my hair down and try something new.
SOS- you can do some finger/comb coils in the back with your flat twists or fluff out your hair for a fro if you don't have enough length for twists. Looking good girl.
Soliel- your twists came out great. I'm loving that updo with the flexi 8. I need to get me some hair candy like that.
FM- Your puff came out great. Very inspiring.
Welcome to all the new ladies and keep sharing. HHG!!
Ps. I just realized for the last 2 days I've been cowashing with KBB Hair Milk
today I didn't rinse it out and I really like the results. I was to upset when I realized this cause I dont like to waste product. I don't like that all the KBB bottles look the same because I thought I picked up the Deep Condish. No harm no foul. My hair smelled really good.

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!
u r too cute and can rock anything!!!!! I cannot believe hubby didn't like them!! I think they are cuuute!
I made an attempt at twists....
SO didn't like them, but he doesn't like box braids either, so I wasn't surprised.
Tried to get my Pug in on the action - he was NOT feelin it.
Not sure if I will keep them...I'm starting a job tomorrow and they're too short to put in a bun..I might pin them up like this:
eta: I apologise for the boobies - I was teaching my Pug to swim and took these pics when we came inside!

How to Style Wet Hair
An Interview With David Babaii
Hairstylist Babaii, who works with Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Kidman, and Gwyneth Paltrow, also collaborated with client Kate Hudson on David Babaii for WildAid, a line of eco-friendly hair-care products.
By Emily Hsieh
I love the sexy Bond-girl look, when a woman walks out of the water with her hair slicked straight back. But having great hair at the beach isn't really about looking immaculate.
· Take to the bottle. At home, fill a spray bottle with a mixture that's one part conditioner and four parts water. Once you're settled on your beach towel, spritz hair from roots to ends, and work it through with a wide-tooth comb. (Don't use a brush—it will only create a big rat's nest.) This will make hair soft—even after swimming—and help bring out its natural waves.
· Leave it salty. Salt water is a great natural styling product, so don't rush to rinse it out. I once did a photo shoot with Angelina Jolie at the beach where I let her hair air-dry, and the salt water gave it a great shape and texture. Fine or thin hair can look scraggly when wet, so after you get out of the water, use an elastic to twist it into a bun or ponytail at the nape of the neck. (Just be sure to avoid elastics with metal pieces, which can break the strands.)
· Block the chlorine. If you're spending the day at the pool, it's best to run your hair under fresh water right after you go swimming, since chlorine can be incredibly drying. Once you've rinsed thoroughly, spritz your hair with more of the conditioner solution and comb it through.
· Pin it up. Once you've spent a few hours in the water and sun, your hair will have a thicker, wavier texture, which is great but can get unruly. Try pulling a two-inch section of hair straight back from the middle of the hairline to the crown and securing it with a bobby pin. Or part hair on the side and anchor the smaller side behind your ear with two bobby pins. For a sweet look, part it in the middle and slide in a pin an inch or two from the part on one or both sides.
· Plan for a night out. Make sure you get out of the water at least a half-hour before you have to be somewhere, so your hair has time to dry. Comb it out, make a side part, and then leave your hair alone. If you want to look more polished, try a silk headband, or wear a scarf as a headband, which will show off your hair's tousled, windblown texture.
HELP!
I went to the Water park with my kids yesterday and we were pretty much there all day. I had my hair in chunky 2 strand twists.
I knew I needed to get the chlorine out bc my hair felt kinda cruchy, so I washed with a sulfate shampoo and conditioned. I don't think I conditioned enuf, so my hair dried super hard and crunchy in the twists today. I took the twists out and some of the twisted strands were like hard and stuck together. YUCK.erplexed
I then tried to add a whole bunch of stuff to try and get the moisture back, but it just made a gloopy, frizzy, dull, stiff mess of my hair and with it feels like a lot of buildup (and no added moisture - still feeels hard).
I am definitely going to try and rinse this mess out tonight.
Should I do a baking soda rinse and then DC? I've never done BS before...Here's what I have to do a DC:
Or should I just try and co-wash with my normal lil bit of Dr Bronners castille + V05? (which normally keeps moisture in my hair)
- Miss Jessie's Rapid Recovery
- ORS Replenshing Paks
- Cholestrol
- Moisturizing ORS Olive Oil DC
Other suggestions?

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!
So I did a twist out last night on freshly DCed and cowashed hair using some moisturizer and Long Aid gel, and it turned out too cute! This style is definitely a staple for now. I hope to take pics soon.

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!
I LOVE the way your hair ALWAYS looks so soft and moisturized. Like in your siggy, it just looks so soft. I *heart* your hair! THAT'S what I am trying to get to. My hair always seems just a bit hard and straggly no matter what I do. (although the leaving the organic conditioner in has worked WONDERS...) I know I have hard water, but this is ridiculous. I think I am going to invest in a water fileter shower head and see if that helps.
Girl, I KNOW!!!!!! I was used to having longer hair and my hair was at BSL before I chopped, so I was kinda timid to wear it out bc I thought it was kinda boyish, but I have gotten SOOO many "wow, your hair is cool!"s or "I LOVE your hair"s from SO many people (black, white, men, women) I have been wondering was my hair jacked before I cut it
bc no one ever complimented me like that before.erplexed I mean I LOVED my braidouts and twist-outs and I thought they were fly, but no one was complimenting me like this. I don't know, I feel like keeping it this length for a while bc I am basking in all the attention
I got the sample packs (Heavenly Hair http://www.karensbodybeautiful.com/product_p/hhsp.htm and Sweet Treat http://www.karensbodybeautiful.com/product_p/stsp.htm). The combination that worked for me was the shampoo bar, followed by Hair Nectar and then Super Silky all over. The DC with olive oil added worked pretty well and the hair oil works great to rub through my twists/twist outs and gives a sheen without weighing it down.
I mean I liked it fine, but I have had just as much success with just leaving in my organic conditioner and then adding a little jojoba and coconut all over and shea butter on the ends. I am not sure I would purchase them again. There is nothing that left me with a WOW! factor. BUT, I will say that using dif products is kinda a timing thing...what state your hair is in, what you've been using on it before, etc. I might go back and try it again at a later point just to see what it will do.
Wow you ladies are doing the most! I need to step up my styling game after seeing SOS, Soliel, and FM doing big things. You ladies are giving me a lot of inspiration. I'm ready to take my hair down and try something new.

Ummmm, ok, Loves Harmony, you refreshed my memory that I had this KBB stuff and I hadn't used it since the BC, so I did a baking soda rinse and then a DC under heat with her DC.......and.................................... O-M-G...my hair feels and looks like butta! I think i will definitely reinvest in her DC once I use up all my ORS Rep paks I have bc I want to move to all natural products now (but I need to use up my stash)...I'm going to use it one more time bc my thinking may be skewed bc my hair was such a gunked up crunchy mess, but I REALLY like the feel of the baking soda rinse and then the KBB DC

Alright you ladies have me really wanting to try some different style ideas...are any of you guys here or near OKC...I need some help!
I've been doing a wash and go everyday and either push it back with a headband or just go. Its easy and I love it but I don't want to get in a rut with it. I thought about getting braids but then I'll miss playing in it...lol
You ladies inspire me to try harder with my hair...I'll let you knw what I come up with.
