@kandiekj100 love it! I still trying to decide if I want to get one. I'm going to a gala in June and I think it would give me more options as well as hide my hair.

Thanks!! Yeah, that's what I wanted. I just wanted to not fuss with it for a while and let it do it's thing.

I left the perimeter out all around (front, sides and back) and a U out in the front for my part. I can put my hair in a low pony and not have to worry about track showing. I wanted to be able to put in a hight pony, but it was my cousin's first time and the braid and sewing didn't allow for that option. I'm still pretty stoked that I can do the pony at all. It really does lend a bit of realness to it.

Damaged but not out Yeah I'm in PR. There aren't any guys out here trying to sell aloe unfortunately. They try to sell you everything else though :lol:. I normally wear my hair up in a high bun or puff so the water is never really an issue. I just wanted to be cute yesterday and it ended up getting splashed. I'll keep oil and condish routine in mind next time though. Thanks!




pelohello I think a light to mild protein would be the AO GPB conditioner. It is FANTASTIC!! I had a bottle and absolutely loved it. Why I never ordered another bottle is beyond me, but I used it on a regular basis before and after my BC and my hair loved me for it.

AO GPB conditioner is exactly what I use. I love it. :yep: mild enough to use every wash. Now that I think about it I need to order more!!
 
^^ yea i used to think than no combing thing was insane, but finger detangling really does work.

I've had 3 sets of twists(2 big, one mini), cpl weeks of braid outs/twistouts/bantu knot-outs. Blink, throw a few buns in. Somehow i got to 51 days, and I could go longer but next week i'm going to henna so i will comb now.

Sure, but mostly from lint/fuzz from my sweaters. I'm of the camp that SSKs will always happen, you just have to learn how to limit them and how to deal with them when they happen.

Also I grew up natural, so the amount of knots I have now are nothing compared to what I dealt with(and how i dealt with them, "comb/yank & rip"method)before.

It takes me 15 minutes to comb and plait my hair, compared with the 40-60 minutes of drama I used to deal with pre-LHCF.



eta. lint is the real evil of winter.:nono:

Just got done rinsing my DC out. Had it in a few hours. Also did a protein treatment today since I used heat last week. Curls bounced right back. I used the Proclaim cholesterol and the Naturelle Grow DC together. Pretty easy to detangle with, but not a combo that I would shout from the mountain tops. Now it's time to braid it all up. Celie time!!
 
Going to the field was rough on my hair. I bought Loreal Everclear Hydracharge shampoo and Aussie 3 Minute Miracle condish, then washed my hair in twists this past Saturday. Talk about take city! But my hair was so soft from that Aussie condish, my tangles came out easy. I tried to retwist my hair, but that was an epic fail. After getting from the range, I finished taking my twists out. There was sand everywhere! Gosh that stuff is a pickle to remove. I posted earlier that I was going to take my twists out and use Curlformers, but decided against it for now. I'm going to flat iron my hair instead. Will let you guys know how it goes.
 
I just put my hair in a fish tail braid. It's not neat, but it will do.

It actually wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
 
Made a new moisturizing spray for my NG. I used mostly water, a lil rosewater, olive oil, castor oil, and vitamin e oil. I also added a small bit of VO5 moisture milks in passion fruit smoothie. I like the texture of the mix i made. It reminds me of s-curl a bit.
 
Nothing like the feeling of fresh, clean hair and a new set of Celies to help me sleep like a baby! I had a hair dream though (of course). I was home with the family for Christmas and I did my big end of the year blow out and flat iron. My hair was pushing WL and my family all kept weave checking me. It was wonderful! :lol:

I've had dreams like this. It was so real, I woke up looking for my WL hair. For I minute I knew what having WL hair felt like :-).

i will be getting started on my coconut oil prepoo detangling session in a few.i washed my hair in six sections last time. i wasn't feeling that very much. i am going to try 4. i am going to do a tea or coffee rinse instead of using my garlic shampoo. i plan on cowashing today. i do need to run to target to get some more Tresemme Naturals. i like those aligator clips! i got the small ones.
 
Oh no! I'm experiencing my 1st and hopefully only setback this year. I've been wearing my hair in a WNG or a braidout with a headband for the past couple of weeks. I did my monthly flat iron last night and my edges are bad! There is major breakage. I think its from the cotton headbands I've been wearing. How could I be so careless, I know cotton robs moisture. I always tell other people to keep cotton away from their hair, but this one slipped by me. For those of you who wear headbands, what brand do you wear, what is it made of and where do you get it from?
 
I know everyone is different, but does anyone find that the length from APL to BSL is only about 3in? Or is it just me and my bra is worn high?

i would use satin headbands that you can find in target, walmart, sally's, etc... you can tie them. i also used cut up pantyhose, or those goody elastic bands.
 
Hey ladies!

Sorry I've been MIA, graduation was Saturday and I spent allllllll Sunday moving/driving back home. I got a TU on Friday and I need a MAJOR trim. I want to go get it trimmed into a U shape (I think my hair is finally long enough to do it) but I sadly don't trust anyone :-( hopefully I figure something out soon.

Lol.... I'm very particular with my bras. I actually order from bravissimo and freya in Europe because the place by my house charges a $25 surcharge more per item if you get it from them. I have to get song good pics. Something still isn't right.

It's about that long for me, but it seems like it's taking forever.

Bravissimo are really good, I didn't know they shipped abroad! Maybe you just have a shorter torso to leg ratio... everyone's different and all. :yep:
