The right side of my hair definitely grows faster than the left side. I thought it was just cause I had a asymmetrical cut...but I am starting to wonder... Is that a thing?

I believe this does happen, but, I've heard that one side you generally favor. Maybe you sleep on one side or are more gentle with a side when manipulating it?

Thats the thing, I usually am generally like the same with my whole head (I think), and normally I sleep on my right side....not my left. (then again i could be sleeping on my left side when I am asleep....but generally I think I fall asleep on my right....oh i duno. I need one of those cameras you set up when ur sleeping to see if ur sleepwalking.

Maybe ill start doing left side only scalp massages or something.

I mean when I BC'ed back in feb '12 my stylist cut the left side shorter than the right, but since then i've had about 2 trims and I thought it was cut so the left side would catch up with the right side...its like 1/4-1/2 an inch behind the right side I think. Weird..

I'm REALLY happy with what my vitamins have been doing for my hair :yep: the texture is SOO much more manageable (even more manageable then my textlaxed sections :look: ) We'll see how long I can last during this stretch but if this keeps up then there's a good chance that i'll complete my transition this time

It's been a while since I've DC'ed and the water is so hard and my hair is feeling so dry :nono: Im surprised it hasn't just marched off my hair already

Decided on a buying a solia flat iron next week. I'm gonna buy a flat iron comb as well as my trusty 3 day straight from john frieda...hopefully that'll help me perfect my flatironing and get silky smooth hair from roots to ends
 
I need some more shea butter ASAP. My hair is atrocious right now.

Mad about "At This Moment" being locked.
Yes, I'm LATE.
I missed ya'll. :bighug:
 
Humm...got my silk lined hood from prettyantoinette's and I am in love:) I cant wait until she actually has a sell so I can purchase more items for me and my mom.
 
I got an unscented bottle of Oyin Hair Dew from Curlmart. It was not sold as unscented, it just is. I am not complaining because strong scents sometimes gives me a headache and I love the Hair Dew's performance. I am a little concerned not knowing if this means it has gone bad or if it just means Oyin sold an unscented bottle to Curlmart?
 
Its odd to me when natural people still have hair complexes. If you couldn't accept and love your hair, it seems as though you're defeating the purpose.

me too. :( I need to order some.

I don't want to wash my hair b/c it's cold and it takes a while to dry. I trimmed a couple inches off my hair today. I'll trim again in march and hopefully that will be the last one for a while.

I'm going to massage castor oil into my edges and see if that stimulates growth + no tight buns. The no tight buns will be a struggle.

@Igotstripes throws confetti don't forget to take pics if you color it:look:
 
I wear short bob wigs at work. These 2 ladies from the 4th floor at work (I'm on the 2nd) stopped me on the way home & said, "I heard about you girl! You have hair down your back that only a few people has seen but you hide it under a wig." LOL
 
I have been PSing for so long it feels weird to have my hair down. I can tell my husband likes it though. I guess I need to wear it down more.
 
I was long overdue for an aggressive trim.

I figured that by not taking progress pics & ogling my hair post flat iron, but pre-cut I'd be unattached to any length lost.

DUMBEST MOVE EVER ! Lol ! Now my hair feels short, I have no idea how long it'd actually grown since my setback & no way of knowing.

On the plus side, my hair maintains the same thickness from root to end give the last inch or two which was my goal !
 
Just washed my hair

Ahhhhh something about minty conditioner on my head. Feels like heaven LOL

pre_medicalrulz (and anyone else) How do you relax after being under a wig (or sew in) and the braids have stretched yiur newgroth? Washing before is out of the question.... Way too much newgroth and manipulation.

Sorry, just seeing this notification.

I still manipulate my NG in order to remove the sheds and tangle. It's a must. I put coconut oil on the strands of my hair, not the NG and I detangle little by little by little. I wait a day or two and then I relax. Separate the tangles in the NG with your fingers first and then run a comb through.

idk why my hair hates me :cry: It's falling out and the edges are getting sparse. So idk no more buns? :( Not sure what I'm going to do.

I'm having the same problem! I put my hair in large box braids the other day and was shocked at how sparse my edges are. I know my hair is fine and thin but dang. :nono: I have no choice but to bun though so idk. I think I wrap my head scarf too tight and my satin bonnet lays right on my edges. :cry3:

modified a recipe from hairboutique that I received recently:) based on what I have in cabinet that needed to be used up. I didn't want to make alot in case I didn't like it

Hydrating Cocoa Butter Hair Cream
• 0.5 oz – sweet almond oil
• 0.5 oz –Grapeseed Oil

• 2 oz – raw cocoa butter
• 0.2 oz Silk Amino Acids
• 0.2 oz Fragrance Oil (I used vanilla buttercream)
• 0.2 oz Preservative

Original Recipe from hairboutique email

"Hydrating Cocoa Butter Hair Cream recipe which I kept available to apply to the ends.
I have listed the recipe below which works on most hair types, textures and conditions. It’s great for helping split, ripped or dry ends. It will also work well for most people when used to help add hydration to target dry or damaged sections.
It will help heal distressed tresses after a hair trauma of any kind.
Hydrating Cocoa Butter Hair Cream
Ingredients
Use organic oils whenever possible.
• 1 oz – sweet almond oil or sesame oil (use a light oil rather than olive which tends to be heavier)

• 2 oz – of HairTopia Beautiful Hair Oil or plain jojoba oil

• 8 oz – raw cocoa butter chunks
• Optional: You may add Essential Oils (EOs) if you wish.
• HairTopia Hair Oil already includes some excellent hair healing essential oils. If you use the HairTopia Beautiful Hair Oil instead of plain jojoba oil you may wish to skip adding additional EOs.
• Rosewood and lavender essential oils are a wonderful addition to plain jojoba oil. A splash of jasmine essential oil will infuse a delicious scent as will vanilla. The addition of vanilla makes this feel like vanilla mousse.
Instructions
• Combine all ingredients, and stir well.
• Pour into sterilized glass container.
• Allow the mixture to sit until it becomes solid.

This treatment will have the consistency of soft butter when stored at 70 degrees. If you wish for it to become more solid you may wish to store in a cool place or even the refrigerator.
Application
• Melt a pea-sized amount in the palms of your hands. Use on wet or dry hair to keep ends soft and

• free of splits. A little goes a very long way! Keep in a cool place to avoid softening or melting. Some users find the oil absorbs best when applied to wet tresses.
• Depending upon your current hair requirements this recipe can be used as a pre-shampoo treatment, rinse-out conditioner or leave-in. It’s not recommended this be applied directly to the roots and/or scalp unless specifically required.
• If you have dry ends you can apply a tiny bit to newly cleansed, towel blotted hair. Allow hair to air dry for best results.
• As always its important to note that this formula may not work as well for all people. This is true of commercial hair products as well. While some love this, it may be too heavy for others."


ETA: Mine came out nice and creamy next time I will add a touch of glycerin since my hair tends to like it so much lately:) It smelled chocolate cake
