I am itching to length check so bad! I know I'm not APL yet, or least I don't think so, but I'm close. I can feel it :lol: I haven't texlaxed since Aug 2013 so I can clearly see the mass of ng that is sittin on my head...I just need to know how long it is. :lachen:

C'mon March 31!
 
Another participant here feeling good about length check this month! I washed with a moisturizing shampoo, first time tea(camomile) rinse with dc. Threw on plastic cap and turbie, rinse out later today. I believe I retained good growth since Bc, can't wait to see it when I flat iron. Holding back till the 31st
 
Im so anxious to get my hair blown out for this month's length check. I might get it done next week since my anniversary is coming up. I know dh is tired of seeing my satin bonnet and celie braids :lol:

Last time I got my hair done I was able to kee it straight for almost 4 weeks! I just hope it doesn't rain

Had to chuckle at your post. My dh asked me the other evening if I would take my bonnet off. Answer...no. Luckily the end of month straightening coincides with our anniversary.
 
Omg I ruin everything I had no idea we wait to length check! :(

Guess I'll have to do another at the end of the month, huh? :)
 
Okay, so I kinda miss 'doing' my hair...but then again I dont :)

Been paying more attention to my nails and skin lately. Saturday will make me 8 weeks post texturizer and Friday will be 2 weeks in my yarn braids. I'll try to keep them up until mid-April but its hard fir me not to mess with my hair. I hope to have some sort of growth spurt by then.

I have stopped restyling them everyday and just wearing my high bun for the whole week to cut down on manipulation (or at least a few days). Im oiling and massaging my scalp with JBCO and Vatika oil and spritzing with a blend of horsetail, catnip and licorice tea. This time Im just cleansing with an acv rinse instead of washing and it works just fine.

I cant wait to do a LC; everyone is looking good on the progress side!!

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
I've been enjoying doing my two strand twists on hair that has been roller set. Problem is that I'm always reluctant to wash in twists on wash day because of the shrinkage. There's no winning.
 
I've been bunning the past few months and I'm thinking of switching to two strands twists for a while. But I'll need to stretch my hair first because the twists shrink to a pathetic level on wet hair, :-D.
 
almost on week 3 with these minitwists.

been covering them for the past week and will probably cover them next week as well.

maybe wear them out again the week after.

i did shampoo wash them yesterday...i tried so hard to not wash them, but i just cant. i guess i'll deal with whatever consequences there are when i take them down. hopefully it wont be too bad.

My hair has been feeling so soft and pliable this week. It might be that the weather hasn't been as horrible. I also have been playing around with some new products. We ll see.
 
I have been wigging it. I hope to continue until April. I have to remind myself, where I am is not my end goal. I was having too much fun playing with my hair and no psing.
 
So I rcvd my order yesterday from Anabelles when I got home from work. Some of the items have more of a strong perfummy smell to me rather than a sweet smell. Anyway I cowashed with the coffee cowash and it smells good. It cleanses very well for a cowash. It didn't leave my hair feeling coated or rough. Actually it was very nice and soft. It has some slip but I didn't detangle with it yet. I will do that next time. The consistency is kind of on the thicker side. I really like this stuff. After I left my hair on my turbie to soak up the water for 20 minutes. I applied the honey almond LI and then the honey almond moisturizing lotion and it had my hair nice. Like I said it has a strong perfume smell to me but it works wonders. My curls were so nice and defined...and get this here's the kicker...elongated! My hair shrinks up something bad especially with a wash n go. This LI and lotion hand my hair very much elongated.

Thanks Joi...I'm warning you though her scents are really strong perfummy smell mixed in with whatever scent it's supposed to smell like. It works good though but if you are sensitive to strong smell or even perfume smell you may get a head ache.

Thanks for this--I'm still awaiting my products to arrive but I'm very sensitive to "scenty" things.

Oh no! I can't stand perfummy scents. They tend to give me a headache over time. I got mostly dessert scents, so I hope they are not perfummy too.

That's what I got and yes they are lol. They work gr8 though but man it lingers as well. Which I don't mind if it was just a dessert smell but it's like a dessert smell and strong perfume smell. It could just be mines.

I will report back...
 
Hey ladies....been MIA - life happens. At any rate, just washed and conditioned...had more shedding than usual, not sure if I'm on the back end of post partum shredding or what. Installed mini twists and they should last for 3 weeks.
 
I just want y'all to take a look at the little girl watching my head in the back. LMAO

This y'all is my 4c hair.

My wash and no.
