Does anybody experience really curly/knot prone ends that are NOT split??? I know in general my hair likes to intertwine with one another and for the longest I thought it was because my ends were damaged. But thankfully I have noticed wayyyy less SSK's and split end. So I'm a little baffled at my healthy ends with issues smh lol

Welcome ChannieBoo3 and Caribeandiva!
Here's my length check. First pic was in December and second pic was in March.
I'm gonna continue to wear wigs throughout the year cos it stops me from having hand in hair syndrome :-D

I'm continuing to cowash twice a week and it helps keep my hair moisturized.
I've noticed that using hair gels really makes my styles last, but my hair is so stiff when I take it down. Anyone know of any good gels that don't make the hair feel hard?
I'm skipping this LC and will do one in August.

I'm having this issue. I'm think of deep conditioning more, possibly adding my oil to my ends.

Just a little over 2 weeks with my sew in and the growth is visible. I'm going to try to keep it in for 2 more weeks before I take it down. I originally wanted to do eight weeks but I don't think it's going to happen.

BEAUTYU2U I think I might have to go out and buy another denman brush because I'm pretty diligent on the DC and I always make sure to oil my ends. I think it might also be partly to the fact that my hair is getting longer, just more hair to possibly tangle. It loves to bunch and group smh i could have freeform locs in like 12 days if i did nothing to it

Ann0804 have you tried aloe vera gel?? Or there's also this gel I sometimes use and I love it because I don't have to use alot and it doesn't leave any residue, it drys(?) to feeling weightless and you forget you put it in but the hair still lays flat. It's called Arganics Edge Smoothing Gel, it has olive and argan oil in it. I added a link to it.

It was fine. I squeezed most of the water out and left the hair alone to dry.

No problems when I washed mine (every 2 weeks for 3 months). Make sure you get all the water out because they will hold a lot of water and drip all over the place.

I didn't get a chance to do my update. Having my wisdom teeth taken out left me unable to do much of anything. Hopefully my hair doesn't hate me due to all of the neglect. I'll try to tackle my hair either tonight or tomorrow and upload pics afterward.

So on monday I will be on week 3 of curly girl and I can honestly say that my hair looks like a hot frizzy mess! 
I miss my grease and cones, lol.
I think I maybe one of those people that CG doesn't work for.

Has any one tried Crafters Choice™ Shea Aloe Butter or any of the Crafters choice products on their hair? If so did you like it or no?

My late update. I finally shampooed and DC'd my hair. It grew a little since Feb 
I'm back in a PS until my next texlax next month.
Oh FYI, APL is actually line #5 on my shirt but I don't claim milestones until I pass them so I won't claim APL until my hair reaches line #6.
