At long last, my hair finally feels long! Its just hitting BSL and has started to fill in since I claimed the length mid-September. Now if I could just stop messing with it! I need to put it up in a bun and leave it alone before I jack it up :look

Since I am transitioning and plan to cut all my relaxed ends next year..I think I will dye the ends of my hair creating an Ombre look.

Everyone noticed how long my hair is getting Even my asian friends are asking me what I'm doing to get my hair growing so fast!

I made a bet that if I could get my hair WL, my friend will dress as a girl for a day. Even more motivation to get to WL

Kindheart I've been on my HHJ for 2 years, but these recent changes have helped me see results and gain thickeness and length, even with my weekly blowdry and flatiron

-texlaxing instead on bonelaxing
-stretching
-no weaves, braids etc
-MT
-cowashing (with HE hydralicious)
-Always DC at least one per week with a protein AND moisturizing DC
-taking MSM, omega 369, diatomoaceous earth, a bioavailable MV (i use rainbow light women's one)
-intense exercises (enough to make you sweat for an extended amt of time)
-healthy, organic diet

bosswitch: do you buy your MSM locally? Where?

 

[Ogoma]

I seriously had a dream last night that I was about to spend $69 on a jar of hair gel. SMH. I'm such a PJ. At least in my dream I had the good sense not to buy it.

Ogoma I used to get the source natural brand msm from finlandia on w broadway but i found it was much cheaper to buy it from vittacost ($15 vs $7). You can get good diatomoaceous earth locally though.

Thank you. I currently buy from vitacost, but wondering if I can get it on the ground.

My hair is so damaged I think I'll do a smedium chop and take off like 4 inches. I can live with ssks as a natural but these tree splits be d@mned.

Gratuitously washed my hair today, just so I could try out Suave Naturals, and I Loooved it! This is now my official detangling conditioner, and with the Wet Brush I can detangle in minutes with Minimal shedding. And my hair smells like candy.

wore a plastic cap + bonnet + snood today (with a little bit of hair left out in front)...me thinks imma gonna do that a lot this fall & winter. i need more interesting hair stuff, though...to cover up the plastic and all that jazz.

 

[venusfly]

Hhhhhmmhhh....I think the protein treatments and oils and stuff is working.....my hair feels so STRONG and hallelujah praise Jesus, doesn't turn into a BIG AFRO anymore when it rains! .... I think that means its not so porous anymore......

 

[knjsavy]

Does anyone have a crochet pattern for snoods?

 

[youwillrise]

pfft...i wish i knew how to crochet. i'd totally make my own.

 

[HanaKuroi]

I am learning from YouTube videos!

 

[youwillrise]

so now what i do to keep my scarf & bonnet from coming off in the middle of the night is put a headband around it. i know, it's so weird, but it's been working for me. dont know why i didnt think of something so simple sooner. ooooohhhhh snap alliteration!

anyway...hooray for not having to wake up in the middle of sleep to put my damn scarf back on. ((rolls eyes))

If you ever experienced dryness with Afroveda Totally Twisted butter its probably cause you used too much of it or too often .Also ,it plays nicer on a rainy day .
