DUDE Cattypus1!! Is it just me or are you noticing less shedding and breakage too!! The lack of breakage is most likely due to the heavy protein treatment. I'm going to do my regular mid-week CW and do another tea rinse, I can't wait for the weekend, it's too far away. I can imagine it'll get better with continued use and if this keeps up, it's going to be a beautiful thing!!!

Gurlllllllll! I was telling my DH that my bathroom floor is remarkably hair free--long ones and short ones! My only change from this wash and the last is the tea! I'm rocking my twist out from Saturday...we'll see. I'm too excited to think that I might have found a breakage stopper! I may CW on Wed just to see.

I didn't forget about y'all, life has been super hectic for me!
I had kinky twists in for almost six weeks and took them about two Fridays ago. Since then, I've been bunning it, but I got a substantial trim yesterday. I'm not too worried about length right now though. Hope all of you are doing well.
 
I put some small braids in. I want to keep them in for 6-8 weeks. I hate how low density my hair is. :ohwell: I hope to see hopefully an inch of growth during this time.

Still here. Just focused on enjoying this whole hair journey. Still ain't length checking. May skip the official one end of March. *shrug* I have noticed a big difference in the condition of my ends since I started using curlformers to stretch my hair. Love them.

Have found my groove re: my best dc, moisturiser etc.

BSL 2013!

I've started using the Goody spin pins, I love them, didn't need to use a hair band for my bun. I wish I had found out about them sooner.

How do you get a nice looking bun with just spin pins? If I don't put my hair in a pony tail first my hair looks so poufy and I can't get it to look smooth.
 
I m adding biotin to my regimen. I'm going to measure my hair tonight to see of it actually does anything.

I'm kind of nervous my hair will grow all over my body 0_0

But here's to trying to speed up this growth! Lol
 
My hair officially needs to be washed! It's been 12 days...trying to hold out until the weekend. I'm going to see my sister, she broke her ankle but she can still roller set my hair. Let me pack my rollers ;-)

Wig of the week. I can see how people get addicted to these things. Have my hair in about six plaits underneath. This low manipulation is great for my hair. Retention, retention, retention is the name of the game, lol.

Yassss I'm all about that Wigging it life! I love this LF you mind giving the specs ?
 
Today is my wash day :yay: it's about that time. I did my overnight pre-poo, I'll DC today also. Now it's off to the wash I go... I'm just going to put about 16 braids in my hair and call it a day. It'll stay like that until Sunday morning, that's when I'll wear my braid out.

This is from the R&B collection and the style is Ring.

I also have this in a longer version (at least the box had the same name on it). I brushed the front out a bit more, trying to get that flip action, lol. I've never really been much for long wigs but I like this one too.

ooh that's nice. I've done the spiral rollersets but like you I have not figured out to make them last. I'm talking no 2nd day hair except maybe in a banana clip or updo. With the amount of time it takes to put them in and then let them dry, I don't even do them anymore.

Anyone got any pointers?

When I do a flexirod set it usually lasts for almost 2 weeks. After washing & DC I use a leave in conditioner, aloe vera gel (only on the ends to keep it wrapped around the rod, styling foam, and CHI Silk Infusion or Suave Keratin Infusion Smooth & Shine Serum (this helps to combat the frizzies. And it leaves me with a beautiful set. I also use a bonnet every night and daily I use a lil EVOO or a shine serum and kinda plump my curls back up. After about a week, I'll use a headband or I'll get some scrap fabric and sew a hair bow.

Schedule for a trim at the salon in two weeks. I am nervous but excited. When is our next length check? I want to use my salon pic, but only if it is the correct time.

GettingKinky That is exactly how I felt before I started using them. On Saturday I will be 13 weeks post, so I'm not entirely sure I have a nice looking bun :lol:, it looks okay from the front and the bun itself feels nice, so I'm assuming it looks okay. I will take a pic and post when I get the time, this week is a busy one. I would like to add I have not lost a single strand of hair to the spin pins, I was always losing hair with the bands, even though they didn't have metal, this is retention heaven for me :yep:
