@Ms. Tiki

And he's tired of my baggies and me taking so much time detangling. Nah who's gonna check me, boo?

He's supposed to be out of town now but I called him back for a couple days. I think he's leaving again in the morning til this weekend. Need I say more?

:dance7:

NJoy I know you were over there going dang! :lol: I was supposed to send mine a pic b/c he is out to sea but I've been to lazy to finish the flat ironing process. I just emailed him and told him I'm thinking about cutting it all off.
 
NVM. I got braid put in as a protective style. Next time, i'll order the hair from online like I've done in the past. BSS choices in hair were limited and I was in a rush.

I'm going to flat iron tonight or tomorrow. I hope it comes out well and I look fabulous. :giggle:

Ms. Tiki Girl, why you gotta mess with him like that? :lol:

What will be your mini bc length?

Lucia I've been trimming monthly. I'm not going to chop until the end of the year, hopefully leaving a nice healthy hemline at HL. If my natural hair isn't there, then that will be my mini bc.

Trimming has improved my hemline but robs me of the awe that you get when your next length check is longer. Sorta makes me feel like my hair hadn't grown, even tho I know that it's grown several inches. I just cut 'em off. Still. I have to FEEL like my hair is growing to keep it moving nicely.

(does that make sense?) I want to look forward to new lengths at my next length check. And then when I cut it, it'll feel fabulous because my hemline will be neater. Also, the way I was trimming (cutting then ends of my twists) was only perpetuating my layers. I want the option of cutting the layers out of my hair at the end of the year.
 
Prepoo'd with Shea Moisture Masque and it works a lot better as a prepoo than a DC. Still will not repurchase. Doing a protein treatment with an egg and a Palmer's Protein Pack. Will follow it up with a coffee/cholesterol DC and will rinse out with Aussi.
 
Still can't manage to get the relaxer straight look with the flat iron. Oy. Hope I didnt give myself heat damage. :crossfingers:
 
I hennaed my hair hair on Saturday. It took me at least a half hour to rinse and shampoo it all out. Tell me why..whenever I scratch my head, I still have some henna in my nails.
Now I have to wash my hair again.:mad:

I even wear gloves when I shampoo the henna out. :yep:
 
Someone walked up to me & said, your hair looks like a lot of work..
I said some days it is..

Happy Hair Growing!
 
I really need to put my hair up and away. I just don't like the idea of weaves, wigs or braids. *sigh*

And why does everyone and their mammy have a blog? Lol. It really is laughable.

Please let me know what you come up with. I'm looking to try yarn braids or yarn twists next.
 
i need to focus on my dd's hair. her dad called himself washing it, and baby bye! did he use dish washing liquid or something? her hair is so dry, tangled, and she has some knots going on. i am thinking about rewashing her hair tonight or tomorrow, but she needs a deep conditioning treatment. i might put that in there first, and cowash.

At least he's trying. Black Girl With Long Hair had a wonderful article about President Obama doing his daughter's hair one day. Here's the link:

When someone walks up to me and gives me a hair compliment, I say thank you, but in my head :nono:

I'm like, I spend hours and hours on my hair :yawn: and sometimes I still don't get it quite right... :ohwell:

he has no business washing her hair. he needs to learn how to do a decent ponytail before he gets to that point. he was washing her hair with some AXE bodywash/shampoo combo! he should know better. we were married long enough! :lol:

i had to give her an overnight dc with Joico Moisture Recovery Balm. the next day, i cowashed with AS I AM coconut cowash, detangled with Suave Almond and Shea butter conditioner, and used her leave-ins and moisturizers. i had to dust her ends as well. that Joico helped get the knots out. i spent and hour finger detangling her hair.

i send stuff over and he doesn't use them and she will tell on him if he doesn't do something right! :lol: she is 4 years old. she will tell if he didn't put lotion on her or skipped something that mommy does.
 
I took down my fake bun yesterday and my hair was locked in medium sized "locs" ,it s weird to see how a day of no brushing lead my hair to loc naturally .



shortdub78 your daughter sounds bright and indipendent.She ll probably gonna tell daddy "Leave it,i can do a better job myself *side eye* " lol .
Men don't learn cuz they don't listen nor pay attention.

Found some white womans random hair tucked in to my trousers :perplexed
It had a split end I did a strand test and the elasticity and strength was about the same as mine.
 
Soooo 2 years ago she's telling me it's all about genetics and how 6 weeks is the max she can wait to do her relaxers....she sat and listened to the comment about my hair being "alive"....why is she now at 10 weeks without a TU....interesting...:lachen:
 
whenever I think my hair has grown (because it looks bigger or the fact that now I can easily put my hair in a low pony) when I measure it, it still about the same length .... I just don't understand.
