We here!!!!

My hair is still straight-ish... I sweat in my sleep :-( so the back and sides are reverting. My hair line is also getting a lol fuzzy because my shower cap doesn't cover my big ol' head.

But right now I have a cute lil top knot bun going on and I'll probably braid out/bun for the rest of the week to make the sheen last. I'll wash next year and go back to regular life (exercising etc).

I'm here. I'm not feeling too well today. My stomach is killing me I really hope I don't throw up. Soon as I get off of work, I am going to take some bayer and drink some ginger ale and go right to bed.

My hair is holding up. I cut up an old dress and used it as a head wrap and I twisted my hair up in the back and I have my curls framing my face. I will post pics 2morrow.

Here's the pics ladies.

I need some new style ideas. Not sure what to do. Maybe some new buns on my now shorter hair. Seems like I'm tired of everything. Think I might start roller setting.

Hi Ladies , I've been MIA for a while, IRL things are kind of hectic right now I've managed to keep up to date with most of the threads but I'm still 4 (long) pages behind on this one, you only have to turn your back for a minute and there's like 10 pages to catch up I'm missing not being able to participate fully

There's been some great progress going on up in here, I've really enjoyed all of your length check pics. Congratulations to all of you who have crept up on/are creeping up on your length goals like the ninjas you are

As for myself now that's another story I've simplified my regimen somewhat and have a strategy to get through my stash while adding the products I want to try and locking down my staples. I have had a few bouts of laziness but I'm coming out of it, today I clarified my hair, DC'd with ORS hairepair and then blow dried and gave myself a dusting with my splitender, I'm planning to dust again with my scissors at the beginning of July. I want to do a protein treatment this weekend too, so I will be trying the komaza protein treatment for the first time.

When I got my TU in March, my hair had not progressed as much as I had hoped but it is getting there slowly My shorter layers are catching up nicely with the rest of my hair and my ends no longer look thin, I'm hoping I'm getting some thickness too. As I said before, I want to stop focusing so hard on length and focus on health and staples instead, this way I can avoid any disappointments and get back to enjoying my HHJ. I'm patiently waiting for BSL to come and hit me in the face when I least expect it I'm about 1.5 inches away though.

growbaby I love that style!

shortdub78 is that a roller set? It came out great!

I've been away for awhile because I finally got my new puppy! She is certainly keeping my mind off my hair which is great. Between her and work my mind is 110% occupied.

started on my wig yesterday! making a u-part with a closure that i added an elastic band to. First time i've ever done this and it's been going pretty smoothly. Only thing I will say is that my fingers hurt lol but i finished sewing one bundle on and started sewing on the second bundle. Took some progress photos....i'm excited for how this will look in the end

 

[NikkiQ]

^^^Very natural looking hair JosieLynn! Can't wait to see it when it's all done

aww you got a new fur baby! congrats mommy!

thanks! i used the flat iron to curl my hair and touched up the next day with some hot rollers. i haven't done a roller set in almost a year.

 

[mami2010]

My rollerset a few days ago. Enjoyed it but its gone now. Just rolled up the front and let the back hair dry and pinned up the back.

 

[lamaria211]

My hair really needed everything I did to it this past weekend. Its so soft and moisturized, I think I might do the exact same routine next weekend

[NikkiQ]

Time for vitamins and LOCing the hair down! I think next wash day will be when I blow out and flat iron my hair. I know it's gonna take me forever and it's not gonna last long, but I need to stop being so scared of heat.

Im afraid of heat too!! I havent touched a flat iron in over a year. I have a CHI at home and can not even begin to tell you where it is lol. I hid it from myself. I think im going to finally straighten my hair in December though. Im actually ready and mentally prepared for it

Yep. I got my fur baby and I'm in love she's so adorable even though she doesn't let me sleep at night. I need to get a good awake picture of her.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

ok i will stop! i just see myself looking like a cartoon squirrel at times, but i will stop it. thank you for the compliment and the kick in the pants.

oh i did get weave checked! i don't know if it counts, but my aunt asked how did i get my hair that long and my grandmother said it was a weave. i told them it was all mine. then my aunt said it must be due to pregnancy, but i said i had grown my hair out before. plus, i didn't get any extra growth or spurts during my pregnancy. i have the same growth rate and was shedding like crazy for 7 months.

shortdub78, gorgeous curls ma'am! As far as the squirrel goes, better a squirrel than a hog head which is what I see every time I look in the mirror. T_T

I'll be glad when I can drop some of this weight. Then you all will get tired of seeing my mug.

well we can work on the weight thing too! my mom was teaching me how to pose to hide the fat! i really wanna lose 15 pounds this month. and 15 next month.

GettingKinky she is ADORABLE!!!!!!!! OMG! I love a brindle puppy. What did you name her?

 

[ajargon02]

does anyone that wears weaves or u-part wigs work out intensely on a daily basis? I'm prepping myself for when I make this wig hopefully this week but I just started doing some circuit training so I anticipate working out and sweating 6 days a week, and I know when wearing wigs or weaves we have to make sure our hair doesn't stay damp, just wanted to know how you ladies deal with that

I wear both at times. With the half wig, I don't sew in. I just braid or twist my hair underneath, and I have attached wig clips to secure it. I only do curly wigs, so I can blenx my hair if needed. Usually, I just do a pretty braid pattern in the front, so I can put it on and go.
When working out ot in the summer, I rinse or co-wash daily from my head sweating. So in the summer, I avoid sew-ins all together. Maybe someone else can chime in 2 give ad ixe. Good luck!

 

[texasqt]

I used the $2 Lekair Cholesterol Plus conditioner from Walmart...it was just what my hair needed! Go figure!

Does anyone else use this stuff?

shortdub78, your mom needs to give me a couple of lessons because not matter which way I turn, all I see is a ChunkyMonkey. LOL!

You could totally get rid of 15 lbs in a month as long as you're disciplined...unlike a certain someone I know...

I'm SO READY for my VACAY NEXT WEEK!!!!! Well...except I have no idea what to do with my hair. Have some great NG and I'm fighting not to get my touch up until after my trip. Oh well, maybe by the time I touch down I'll be so full of rum I won't care. LOL. BORICUA BABY!

ETA: plus I got this 2 pack (yes, I said 2...not quite a 6 yet but we'll get there). Rep Reebok is the business! CHILE ya'll won't be able to tell me NOTHING next week!

I will take either a squirrel head with the pretty full cheeks, in trade for this gaut chicken head on an extra mile long neck.

mami2010 you look fabulous, that make up and hair is so cute

texasqt I am using le cair too, works great after henna

ETA: the gaut look comes with that extra attention from the doctor-where they casually ask me if I think I am fat during the check up
