I can't believe this. The moisturizer I use, the only one my hair likes has been discontinued! Ugh! So now I'm going to have to find another one.
 
I cannot wait till my relaxer to see how long my hair actually is. Only four days to go, that is if my mum can be bothered to do it on tuesday
 
I'm pretty sure that these aren't flat twists that I just did but I hope my twist-out comes out alright tomorrow anyway. :lol:
 
I must be bored with my hair again because I have the itch to texturize. I wish I could show off the length I have retained more often without the risk of damage.

Me too. The last time I saw an allegedly gentle hair dresser wash, condition and blow dry natural hair, I was cringing in my chair. she was yanking through that lady's hair so badly. I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to do a proper length check since I'm quite useless at blow drying and straightening my own hair :(.

Lol & Smh. Thing is, I can recall being in that lady's position many years ago & thinking it was a normal part of the process; things like having wet hair combed from the root & stubborn tangles ripped through was expected.

In terms of blow drying & straightening it takes practice. There are countless threads that serve as proof that quality tools, quality products & a proper protein/moisture balance can result in an effortless result.

Good luck doll.
 
I did henna for the first time last Saturday. I don't think I'll be doing that again. I like that it's natural but it took sooooooo long! And the mess, my Gawd, the mess! I don't know if I can put myself through that again.
 
Life is getting in the way of my PJism! Everytime I plan to haul something pops up. I want to punch life in the face!
 
Note to self never ever go this long before relaxing. I lost so much hair a minute ago doing the detangling and basesing my scalp. Had to trim a bit too. I guess once a season for now on.
 
It seems like the more effort I put into my hair, the worse it comes out. :lol:

But I'm going to walk into this BBQ and talk about my bad hair day before my BIL can. :yep:
 
I hate that I still can't do a bun on wet hair!
Its been a year since I shaved my hair off...how long is it gonna take?
Geez.
Oh well I guess I have to stick with doing it on dry stretched hair until I can. :(
 
Good thing I took these braids out when I did. Some of the braids started matting with some weird gray stuff. I think my hair just cant go past three weeks. its nice to feel my own hair again. I think im gonna rock it in bantu knots and maybe rod sets till i decide what to do with it for the next install
 
Relaxed after 8 months. No growth really at all. I guess since I kept having to trim I lost a bit. But for the most part it's nice and smooth. I noticed one half of my head is a lot more resistant than the other. It will be fine since I will wearing my hair in a bun. Now to let this semi permanent color sit for a bit more than dc. Oh joy to the world my hair is relaxed.

How did you PS during the stretch? How did you accomplish this stretch in the first place? Please, tell me more.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
 
Oyin Handmade Sugar Berries Pomade turns out to be an awesome sealant. The best part is I have had this in my stash for months and it still smells just as heavenly as when I first got it. This scent needs to be in a candle.
 
Just needed to sing the praises of Tresemme naturals moisture conditioner with people who are as obsessed with hair as I am. Its amazing as a co wash and I've just recently discovered how amazing it is as the C in the LOC. I think I've only seen 2 broken hairs since I started using it four days ago and I'm 12 weeks post. Plus my hair feels nice and smooth even after air drying
 
im still trying to decide if i should cut off my hair right now. my cut looks ugly now that its longer and i dont want to deal with straightening in the summer. *sigh*
 
Rocking naked hair today (no leave-in, just sealed with a little oil), and I'm loving it :bdance: . I'm probably loving a little too much. Wearing my hair like this gets me in trouble :badidea:.

I like to wear myhair out after work and I can't do that if I'm slicking if back with gel
Also still loving lets jam custard hair is lovely and fluffy

All my self trimming has left my hair in a choppy mess; my crown in shoulder length, front & sides are apl, half the back is apl and the rest of the back/nape is bsl.

I guess modifying Feye's trimming method wasn't the smartest idea, but I needed to with my natural layers.

Anyone know of any trimming tuts for layered hair?
 
A few staple oils, Shea Moisture and Softee brown gel...even Infusium...but nothing seems to beat shampoo/conditioning and treatments like Dominican products. I love them better than American/Euro salon items. Can't wait to get my order..it's been a long time. Gotta break the cycle of trying the pharmacy junk just cuz it's new.
 
It's been less than a year since I relaxed, and I already want to chop it off again. However I still want to make my goal length of full BSL, MBL. It's just that I get so bored so easily.

I'm getting a sew-in next Thursday and will try to keep it in for 6 weeks . That is excruciatingly long for me, but I'm going to try.

But yeah...once I make my goal and am done whipping my hair back and forth, the hair will come off and I will be natural for a 4th time. Maybe the next time will be for good (last and longest stint was 5 years), maybe not. Oooooh, or maybe locs. I've always wanted that too. But that definitely is rather permanent. ::rolleyes:
 
I was just in the bathroom blowing my nose and I noticed that my hair is brushing the collar of my t-shirt. I know that's short as hell to a lot of the people on here, but considering how many haircuts I've gotten over the past year, that's HUGE for me. Last year I cut my hair so short that the stylist had to use a razor to taper the back, and I maintained it for a while then started trimming the back little by little to match the sides. Between the inch plus I got earlier this year and the new growth I have now, I'm really proud of myself.
 
TwoSnapsUp I came in here just to post this same thing. And my hair is underprocessed. I need sleekness until I correct this because it is not what's up. It's shedding and breaking more than usual. How in the devil do people purposefully underprocess? :spinning:

Going to back blow drying my hair. I am not about this air dry life anymore.
