*Sigh* I'm over manipulating my hair...but I Love the way fresh WnG's look, and feel!! Ugh, better take it down a notch to 2-3x's a week.

I think I'm a WnG addict...:look::lol:
 
I have effed up. I got my hair straightened and SO liked it a lot lol. Not complaining about that part, but he wants me to straighten it more often so I'm concocting a style rotation compromise right now.
 
I need my hair to grow faster!!

Thinking of trying horsetail extract. Anyone try that with noticeable results?

Biotin didn't do jack for me.
 
Funny how The world works

I was watching YT last night and came across mahoganyknots and realized I know here IRL! then today while shopping in my local target I look back and she's behind me. HER HAIR IS GORGEOUS :lovedrool:
 
i might have to clip another half inch of thin dead scraggly ends...i knew i should have cut another 1/2 when i clipped 2 months ago.
 
Clarified last night, did a hard protein treatment, dc'd with heat for 45 mins then rollerset and flat ironed/pin curled.. when I tell you that I wanna molest my own hair.. :lick: Been getting compliments all morning, even at Meijer LOL.

My natural hair loves heat and protein. I just can't blowdry AND flat iron. I either have to blowdry and do a twistout/braid out or rollerset and flat iron. It can't take both. Adding protein to my regimen has seriously made a tremendous difference; HUGE shout out to @vivEz daNs lamouR because she gave me some amazing tips and I'm already seeing the benefits. :huggle:

please share the tips :)

I think my hair is protein sensitive but it still does need protein, maybe I also need to up my protein game
 
Caught another glimpse of my hair from the back today and was mortified. Even though I just relaxed and flat ironed my hair still looked frizzy. And my ends atrocious. I just finished trimming and re-flat ironing. My hair looks better, but I really need to take another inch off. I am more or less at bsl...
 
been neglecting my hair. going to wash, dc, detangle and all that stuff. put some twists in my hair because once monday comes, i'm going to be uber busy. full time work and almost full time school.

You couldn't pay me to put that stuff near my hair again. They gave me my money back

Crap I just bought this :/ I do know it has added Protein and not to use it daily so maybe that should be alright.
 
Lurking in that Komaza thread is making me re-think daily cowashing.....I don't know I REALLY like doing it though. And re-think shampoo...argh....I should just mind my business:look:
 
Just started using my sulfur oil again. I'm gonna just apply it to my scalp sans 10 minute massage and see if I can still produce 1 inch per month results.
 
I know I said I was going to wash my hair less....but I am NOT rocking 3 day hair at this BBQ. Uh uh...that is Not Hot!
 
Was preparing my hair for a relaxer session and realized I'll be 6 months post in 5 more weeks, so I'm going to wait it out. Btwn the 1.5" cut I did like 2wks ago and the strengthening DC I'll be doing these next few weeks my T-up should be good.
 
I was coming out of the hair product shop and a French African man stopped me and he said that he needs some help with some products for his wife's natural hair. Well we were standing right outside the store so I was like ask the staff in there. He told me there were no products for natural hair. I was about to tell him what I use but then I was thinking off coconut milk and that's weird to some people. Then he said leave in and I said shea butter. Then he got out a text and he wanted things like Darcy's Botanicals and Miss Jessie's which they don't really sell in stores down here. I told him to order it off the internet. I didn't even go in there to purchase any products, I just went to order a colour applicator bottle so it's easier to shampoo my scalp.
 
I tried to reach around to pull my hair to check length again today but my arm wouldn't comply fully. As far as I could see though, it seems I'm almost APL. I'm so stunned. I'm going to blow out and straighten for the first time in almost a year in December. I look forward to being pleasantly surprised.
 
I've realized that I must apply my d/c like a relaxer to make sure all of my hair covered in the goodness. My hair was so dry after going hard with protein last week … after I applied the d/c like I mentioned above, my hair had some ackrite. To celebrate, I went to Whole Foods and tricked off thirty-five bux on Grapeseed Oil, Everyday Shea Moisturizing Conditioner, and some Omega-3 supplements. HHG!!
 
Why must I always be tardy? I've been natural for almost a year & this is my 2nd time. Why am I just now trying out Ecostyler gel? Sally's had the 32 oz jar on sale for $2.99. Why was I paying all of that money for KCCC?
 
I am APL. I didn't even pay attention, 19 months natural just flew by - no heat and protective styling must of paid off. I was/am too busy working on defining my curls - i got so many different patterns, patches going on
 
I was going to alternate my weekly cleansing with shampoo, mudwash, ayurvedic herbs, and conditioning cleanser. But after my hair analysis with Komaza and the discussion on how rotating too many things in a short while can alter the hair's pH, I am going to slow my roll before I confuse the heck out of my hair.
 
At last, the box braids are gone for now. Washed, DC, moisturized, and sealed my hair. Then put it in 8 flat twists. I am happy that my breakage has decreased, I can definitely see a more defined curl pattern, my edges are growing in nicely, and so is my nape. BUT, i definitely need to find a daily moisturizer, my hair was so dry when I took my braids out.
