Whew, I am getting so lazy with my hair...I really need to tighten up. Gonna make Saturday & Wednesday my wash days, and Friday night my DC night. WL just ain't gonna make itself happen!

Another bun thread has popped up. I'm pretty sure someone is trying to tell me something lol, and I'm listening.

I think I want to go back to half wigs, particularly a curly one.

OooOoo I'm wearing a curly half wig right now.

I just realized it took me an entire year to get from BSL to WL; Dec 2011 - Dec 2012.

^^^idk why I'm afraid of half wigs, etc.

 

[SimJam]

Ive found that being bored with my hair = retention.
when Im bored I just get into a routine ---> wash,DC, twist, twistout, puff ----> repeat next week.

no trying new products, techniques etc ... yup thats gonna be my routine for next year

K.I.S.S BSL here I come

I don't use the clips. I just sit it on my head.

That's my routine, too. I grew my hair from NL to APL on my own then stayed at APL for a year due to trying all kinds of techniques. I'm just going to stick with the basics.

since the pic wont show just visit my tumblr http://lil-boots.tumblr.com/

 

[PittiPat]

I'm officially back to hiding my hair until 12/31/12 by wigging it. It's only two months, but oh well. I'll flat iron it for the new year in hopes of reaching APL. Then I'll give myself a good trim in hopes of reaching BSL by 12/31/13. Go me!

Come back home my shampoo is out of place. I suspect my brother has put it in his bath to bathe with like he does with my mums shampoo that she keeps in the bathroom. I keep my shampoo in my bedroom because I don't want anyone to use it especially to wash his skanky body. I want to physically attack him.
I'm moving out in 5 days and that it the only thing that is keeping me sane. I swear some grey hair is preparing to come out my follicles because of this. He had the audacity to mentally prepare himself and fix his body to walk in to my room and squirt my shampoo in to his bath water :crazy: *BRRREEEEEAAAAATTTTHHHHHEEEEESSSSS LOUDLY*
Only 5 days.
Because if I say anything to him regarding this I will flip. FLIP.

ETA: well I just asked him and he scrunched his face up no. He lied. A big 32 year old man lying about using some shampoo. I know where I left it. I haven't shampooed my hair since Sunday and the bottle was wet. I swear I wanna smash his face in.

 

[SimJam]

^^^^ Why Da heck he bathing with shampoo though ^^^^

lol... sorry to laugh at your situation but your brother is whakkk

If I get a steamer, I won't be able to start doing Apoghee 2 Step protein which I would need a hooded dryer for. Decisions, decisions...

affirm lye is a wonderful one if you switch. it was my go-to when i relaxed and my hair thrived. i hope all is well with ya love your siggie, very pretty girlie!

 

[spellinto]

decided to clarify today since it's the last day of the month. i used V05 Moisture Milks Moisturizing Shampoo in Passion Fruit Smoothie, got it from Walmart for 78 cents . felt good to completely strip my hair of all the potential leftover grime, plus the shampoo looks so pretty & smells amazing. i think it got most of that dreaded garlic powder smell out of my hair. that ish is STILL haunt me!

then applied Silk Elements MegaSilk Intense Conditioning Mayonnaise...first time using it. so far i have mixed feelings. i like that it comes in a tub--easy to scoop & use--but i'm not crazy about the smell or the little pieces of herbs(?) in it...wth is that about?

 

[Anakinsmomma]

I can get my hair into two little French braids! :reddancer:

 

[youwillrise]

I hate that our(well mine anyway) hair is so dry. I don't want to have to LOC or seal. I just want to mist and apply moisturizer and be done with it.

i feel you. having to do all the extra definitely gets annnnooooying. honestly, sometimes i have to force myself to do all of the steps i need to do in order to actually get moisturized hair.

 

[whiteoleander91]

Tried the Neutrogena Cream Lather shampoo today. Friggin amazing!! My hair felt very moisturized and conditioned after I rinsed it out! Which is crazy b/c it's a shampoo lol. I love the L'Oreal Reparative Smoothing Shampoo (sulfate free, makes my hair feel very soft and moisturized after rinsing) but it definitely comes in second to the Neutrogena. Having only used it this one time, I reeeeally like it. I think I'm gonna shampoo every other day now instead of 2 times a week. It really felt that nice and my scalp really likes frequent cleansing. I might go back to the store this weekend and pick up another bottle so that I'll have some in stock lol.

Next on my to try list: Suave Naturals Daily Clarifying shampoo. I already have a clarifying shampoo that I like, but I've been curious about this shampoo for a while. I picked some up today as well and it smells pretty good. I'll probably use it this weekend or sometime early next week :3

 

[youwillrise]

my hair feels so great right now.

please...oh, pllllease let it still feel this good when i wake up in the morning? i beg of you. ohhhh hair gods.

I forgot how lovely life is wearing wigs. So easy! I can lock in moisture like Fort Knox and zero manipulation until wash day.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

^^^^^ THIS!!!

 

[UGQueen]

You might want to hold off on the shampoo. Most of us don't like it. I love the conditioners though!

I discovered that my hair moves in the breeze in its stretched state now. My friend thought it was funny by how amused I was of this.

That conditioner is awesome!

ok so i tried them both, the shampoo is a joke.. if i was a lil crazy i woulda squeezed the whole bottle down the sink jus for personal satisfaction and laughter.. smh
the cond is ok so far, i am moisturized and i love the smell however i had no slip
but i read adding aloe juice, honey and an oil such a jojoba will help
so ill try that and then we will see
so far so

Not lace front. I never got how lace front wigs are supposed to be cute. I went wig hunting yesterday with my mom, I saw some lace fronts and told her to ignore that section.

Its red and black and shoulder length and so cute. I still wanted that blond once though

Ohhhhh, you have to use it on dry hair. I don't add anything. The white camellia is good too. Leave it in for a few hours under a baggie.

Can you return the shsmpoo? If yes get some white camellia conditioner. Their shampoos suck eggs.

Lace fronts are cute depending on how u put them on. If you put out part of your hairline i think it looks good, i had a lacefront a couple years ago and i wore it everywhere, not sure of the name though and it ripped so that kinda sucked, she never truly got replaced. Im jus tired of sewins. *sigh*

I will def try that and im going to try to return it. i barely used it, only used it on two sections then i switched to my brothers Natures Gate shampoo. lol shhhhh
What are your personal thoughts on GBP? I got that too lol

 

[HanaKuroi]

GPB you say? I have the big bottles! Many bottles. on dry hair too ma'am.

 

[HanaKuroi]

I'ma tell on you.


You used it. Lol.

I would do the same thing.

 

[mamaline]

I'm so ready to relax my hair! Only one more week.
