It's only been a week after chopping off all my relaxed bits and I'm already itching to slap a relaxer in this and just resign to the fact being natural is not for me. Can.not.deal.
 
Can't believe I'm 6 months post. The longest I've gone is 9 months then I relaxed again. Going back to the salon was the best thing I've done for this transition. Until I learn how to flatiron my own hair, I'm leaving it to the pros. I'm def going to be a natural who rocks straight hair most of the time. I love straight hair but not relaxers and flatironed natural hair is a happy medium for me.
 
The longest sections of my hair measure to about 13in.. My clip-ins are 14in.. Makes it look like I just have thin ends when I wear them .. :sigh: time for new ones. They had a good run.
 
i've been trying to decide if i should "go natural" for a couple of years now. i don't do anything with my hair. i workout 5x/week. i'm beginning to think this time might stick. but what to do b/n when i'm ready to BG & now. my last relaxer was in October I believe.

i have a lot of hair. my biggest fear has been dealing w/ it natural since i certainly don't do anything w/ it relaxed. ahhh

plus i've been wanting BSL forever, and it's been 3 years. clearly my "i'm not dealing with this" attitude is doing nothing for helping me get to that goal. :lol:

I thought you we gonna say you used wheatgrass juice in it. Just a little wheatgrass juice turned my best smoothie into what grass smells like. I juice with kale and don't get that at all. Throw some pineapple in there. Or switch to spinach. : yep:

Nah I just used kale, lime, coconut oil, and honey. I had nothing else to sweeten it. I thought the lime would help neutralize the kale's flavour which it did kinda but it was still hard to get down. I have no fruit in the house lol... shopping tomorrow I guess. :look:

are locs an option? i could be wrong but they appear to be pretty low maintanence
 
I might have to go back to using heat weekly, though I really don't want to:sad:. But my hair grew best this way honestly. My rollersets are too hit or miss for me, even if I use the same products from the previous set. I don't think it would be so bad to go back to weekly heat, I mean 90% of my products are protein.
 
Ladies are we prepping our hair for Christmas? I don't know what I'm going to do w/ mine at almost 6 months post. I just wanna look cute w/o a wig though. Sigh....
 
why is it that when I flat iron my hair, it is laid and nice on the first day, by the next morning, my roots are kicking afrolistics? :nono: why do i bother? I flat ironed on 375

I'm so torn regarding what I want to do with my hair. On one hand I want to relax it, but on the other I want to stay natural.

I love my natural hair when it's in a wash n go, but I can't do any other styles. Twist outs, braid outs and those kid of styles don't look right on me and I don't have the time for them anymore. I also don't really care for the time it takes for me to straighten my hair. I miss wetting my relaxed hair and combing it in less than a minute. I never had ssks or split ends.

I know I will miss my wash and go, so that's my only issue with relaxing.

Oh and naturals don't sleep on Aphogee's 2 minute. My hair felt amazing after I used that. It was buttery soft and had some serious act right.

Clearly, I'm never going to relax. I went into Sally's and picked up my old fav relaxer.. I put that joint right back down and walked out. I know that I will never be able to put that stuff in my hair again, but I'm steady fooling myself. :lol:

I twisted my hair up and did an updo. This will get me through the week. & next week, I'm going to flat iron.
 
I just learned the hard way that it's really best to stay within one product line.....well for me anyway.
I just washed my hair with paul mitchell shampoo, conditioned with keracare, joico k pak leave in, and chi serum, my hair is a HAM right now. *Sigh* guess I'll rewash tomorrow.

I hate when I have to re-do my hair the next day. It makes me mad :lol:

I'm so tempted to buy a steamer although I don't really think my hair needs one but ugh it looks so relaxing and seems to be the ultimate in moisture.

I want one too. Does it take up a lot of space though?

I chopped of my relaxed hair at 10 weeks so I can have texlaxed hair all the way through, its almost 16 weeks, 2 days away from my relaxer but these questions. Why you have a relaxer kit if your natural? Why did you go natural in the first place if your just gonna relax your hair?

Im not saying texturizer cause they think that is still natural, and I'm not saying texlaxed cause I'm pretty sure they don't know what that is. I'm starting my texlaxed journey whether know what that is or not. So I just started saying, I went natural cause I thought I could handle it but I can't stand the knots so I'm relaxing.

I guess ima have to keep my hair straight and gain more length before I start to explain what texturizer really is.

I am going to step up my moisture game this year. Since I am done with school I will be going back to cowashing once a week and deep conditioning once a week. I haven't decided if I am going to heatless (specifically flat ironing) this year. I am thinking about it.
 
Crap. Just found out I have to be w/ extended fam on Christmas this year so now I have to get a relaxer this weekend which is earlier than I want too. smh. This is giong to be a waste of a perfect relaxer. Bahhh Humbug!

Well I like the Huetiful Hair Steamer, it seems to be easy to put together and store. I can fit it under my sink cabinet if I did purchase but I've heard mixed reviews so I don't want to waste money on something so fickle.

I do have an issue with storing my full-size steamer. I usually just push it into a not-so-accessible corner. That's my only complaint. But I won't be without it. It supercharges any moisturizing DC. I. Love it! I wouldn't say it takes up too much space but, you do have to have space for it. I just don't. Not in my room anyway. But, I'm going to take over hubby's home office space for my steamer and my new standing dryer. I simply need more space for all my stuff. :rolleyes:

I hear a major complaint with Huetiful is that it doesn't get the nape portion of the hair. I was asking about different models and someone said she also has the nape issue. She has to turn around and use it for awhile to make sure the nape is getting enough steam.

And for me, I just don't like table top appliances. Like my hooded dryer. I can never get it quite right with height, balancing it (keeping it from tipping forward) and a good location to use it.

Just thought I'd share my two cents.
 
I am cutting my hair drastically low later on today. Like a fade.
I am pretty sure.
Absolutely everyone I know is against it, but they all know how hard-headed I get about certain decisions...once my mind is made up, it's a wrap. It is really amusing me though how pressed people are over MY hair-they acting like I'm cutting off a leg or a foot. :lol:
