I think I may need to give up heavy wigs for life. I love full hair but this one I have been wearing for the last 2 weeks is too heavy and makes me look too over done.I don't want to wear my own hair out anymore either. I guess I will need to find some lighter wigs to get me through. I just can't seem to get it right hair wise..I want beat face and hair..hair why won't you let me be great..
 
Ten more days and I can take out these braids. I'm doing well by not dying to get them out of my head. Its still a mental fight though.

I took my weave down and I just feel like the de tangling process wasn't as successful as I thought it would be. I did see some growth but now I'm going to go and get my weave done again this time I will take better care of it.
 
I am totally madly in love with Kerastase Noctogenist Night Serum which was introduced to me by Danysedai! My thirsty ends soaked it up like a dry sponge and looked fresh cut. I wish I had discovered this stuff years ago. I foresee trimming my ends way less frequently going forward which means way better retention and of course longer hair! :grin: :thankyou:
 
So my hair is laid. Washed and conditioned w/ Moisturefuse...prob for about 30min. Then I was going to rollerset, but just went ahead and molded it down w/ some mousse. Then airdried and this morning went over it with the Chi and then a bit more w/ some curling wax. So I'm good. I'm going to rollerset my hair tonight and make sure I lay my edges.

As far as working out, I may just do this afternoon and try and do a simple washoff instead of a full shower. Especially since I'll be headed home and can take a full bath. Hopefully that won't mess up my hair.
 
hhhmmhh....I've been mulling over whether to get a steamer for some time now ....it might be time to just do it like Nike says! :ohwell:

Yes, it is! My ends just sucked it up! This is what my ends were missing! This is great because the first ingredient is water so its moisturizing but my hair did not feel wet or revert after I used it!

I'm at work. I just remebered water. I'll check tonight when I get home and post for you.

ETA: Ok, as promised the first 5 ingredients, but if you are scared of cones you won't be happy. I like the results so cones or not I am ordering more of this stuff and it's going to be a staple for me. The first 5 ingredients are Water, C13-16 Isoparaffin, Dimethicone, Polyacrylamide, C13-14 Isoparrafin and if any of them are toxic substances I don't want to know about it because I'm still using it! LOL! :lol:

One of the hardest parts of this HHJ is keeping my hands out of my head. I'm so addicted to touching it. Even if it's in a protective style I still feel the need to be running my fingers over it.

I'm the same way. Even on bad/rough hair days I want to fix it. On good hair days or when my hair feels silky smooth I just can't get enough of touching it.
 
I usually do my hair myself. I decided to do box braids, about mid back length. Still on the process of finding THE hairdresser. That young lady at school told me she would charge 100 bucks instead of 130 - like that was a reduction, hm- and my braid made me cough like insanely. I don’t want to pay that price for braids that I could do myself - though it might take longer if I do it by myself-. Am I too cheap?

130 or 100 for regular box braids is too much!! If they were Ty zillions then I can see that price but other wise no!
 
So all of the products for my first regimen finished arriving today (ordered everything from Amazon). Protein wash, then DC, air/blow dry now straightening using the comb chase method. Only two sections in but let me tell you WOW. I fuxx with my natural/transition hair now :)

UPDATED: Here is the finished hair from the side

Sounds like you mean business! :grin: Good luck with your hair journey!
 
Gonna cowash tmr. Got all my papers done before the weekend so now for some little 'me time'. Probably silly to cowash when I have a photoshoot on Sunday & I'll be submerged in water. Sigh... Oh well. Better safe than sorry. Matted hair at 14 weeks post is no joke.
 
I have gotten back on track with massaging my scalp and I see a major difference in my new growth. It is steadily coming in all over my head. Also, I have been greasing my scalp with the Profectiv grease, focusing on my crown area and the shedding has decreased. :grin:
 
Ah, ya never know what you have til it's gone. I can't believe I was complaining about this ponytail. Ends too skimpy. :rolleyes: Yep. I'm gonna appreciate my hair this time around. *flashback*

Going to the natural store to buy some Giovanni leave in and some Aubrey organics after work. 1.5 hrs to go! Hope they live up to the hype
 
I'm so ready to relaxed my hair and see what I'm working it with. Only 2 more weeks! I think I'm going to trim some. I think even with a trim I'll be able to meet my goal of MBL by next December.
