So many people are goin back to relaxers these days.... I guess for some it really was just a trend. :shrug:
 
A lot of the women in my office seem traumatised by my natural hair:lachen:. It's straight one week, curly the next, twisted the one after that! I'm the only black person and up until the last few weeks, I usually wear braids or a wig but I got sick of all that and just went f***k it, I'm gonna be wearing my own hair from here on.

Lol! They will be alright!
 
awww, i understand how you feel.
having a great cut as a foundation is a great help for me. :yep:
but hey, if you feel you wanna pamper yourself, you should do it. i can't wait to have the disposable income to go to the salon whenever i feel.

:lachen: And that's just it...I really don't. And I started thinking of how I'd probably have to keep going for the upkeep since that would be the whole point in starting.

Sigh.

I'm not gonna do anything drastic. I'll just deep condition it real good tonight and do a rollerset and sit under the dryer with it. I'm going to use a different leave-in too instead of NTM. And just see what that gives me. I really do kinda want to go back to just weekly washing.
 
itismehmmkay I think your hair has a cute shape!

I should wash out this conditioner. I surely didn't need to keep it in overnight, but I got lazy. My cat seems to like the scent; she is cuddled up and purring extra close to my ear. :lol:
 
co-washed with Tigi Headshot reconstructive conditioner before water aerobics/swim this morning. It felt good and my hair was fine in pool, hot tub, rain ... will try this in an oil rinse ..
 
Sulfur grease + hot summer days = stinky hair
About to wash this mess out and leave the grease alone till winter.
 
i had a dream that my hair was straightened and it came out as apl. I know that's definitely not the case right now but it's inspiration that it will happen one day. My dreams are usually pretty good clues about something that's about to happen.
 
I wasted 10 hours with henna in my hair that I somehow messed up between freezing and thawing. I have used frozen henna before but this was Jamila. I hope I got some strengthening benefit after all that.

Well when my hennasooq order gets here this week I will be using the red raj right away.
 
Wanna henna badly, but too lazy to tackle this hair alone while trying to avoid making a mess of the bathrm.
Hope to employ the help of my future SIL and DF. Had the henna for months n havent used it...

Wonder if I will reach my goals this year and next...
 
So did the deep conditioning thing n dried my rollerset under the dryer n rollerset. Hair looks cool. It looked better before I combed it out. I really need to do better with just picking the curls. They're too short to really finger curl. I have it all laid down n back now. No idea what I'll do with it in the morning. But feels good to not have to sleep in rollers. I'd gotten used to it but it's nice without them. I wonder if I should lay be sides n back down n pop a few rollers at the top tho :scratchch

*sux teef* Girl, I'm about one mo detangling nightmare away. Just one mo! I'm not trying to be a part of a movement or a trend.:hand:

A sista just want some fly hair. :look:
 
I can't believe I went from barely making 1 1/2 weeks without touching my hair to not having a care when it is 2 weeks. I really hope I can last for another 2 weeks because it would be amazing to only have to do my hair 1X a month.
 
I'm trying to decide if what all I did to my hair is worth it. It's okay today. It's just laid down really not doing anything, but the back looks relatively neat and my whole look will look better once I put some makeup one. Tonight I think I'll still put some rollers in it and see what's up. Probably just the crown and keep the sides and back laid down. I hate styling short hair...but at least it's growing back from what it was (lolol damn I keep saying that)
 
Finally nailed my reg down...relax 2x a year, dc with GPB 1x a month, co-wash 1x a week, airdry in ponytail rollerset. My hair is really benefiting from this reg.
 
I just took some pics and it don't look tight :/ But at least it don't look frizzy and all over the place I guess.

Hmm...and at least I don't have to wear a headband?

I really need to figure something out.
 
So saw it in another mirror lol and it don't look so bad actually. It does need some curls up in the front so I'll just wear some rollers tonight. I'll see how this lasts till the weekend I think before I turn back to daily washing. And I need a retouch this weekend anyway so I'll figure by then.

And luving me girl I know! lol I get so tired of them tho.
 
Is the humidity the reason I see so many comments about relaxing?

No one is opting for press and curls. I am more afraid of relaxer damage than heat damage.

How will you mix your henna? I use green tea and coconut milk. I am afraid to use lemon juice. Where do you buy your henna? Jewell
 
Tomorrow's the end of my week. Rigorous scalp massage, wash, aphogee protein treatment then my DC heaven mix :lick:. I can't wait to dig my hands into my hair.
