Thinking of switching my relaxer to the ORS (Lye of course) line. I've also been thinking of that Lineage line. I want just a little more texture than I have now without adding oils and stuff.

I heard the linange relaxer is good. I used it on my cousin and her hair came out nice. I use their neutralizing conditioner and its two steps in one without the lather. It's a mid protein step and neutralizes. I've had way less breakage since using it.
 
Hair came out great. I chi'ed it this morning after letting my rollerset airdry. I used curl wax on each section, so it has some weight to it and is pretty shiny. I plan to grease my scalp w/ my JBCO-sulfur grease probably just every other day. I'm liking how my hair is trying to have some shape to it. Just a few months ago I didn't know what to do with it.

Oh and I wore a lil cloth headband yestereday and it was sooo cute. I left a lil bang out and had the hair puffed pretty nice in the back. So I'm motivated to play w/ some different looks. I have the tucked-back w/ sideburns look, thethe all the way back headband look, the cloth headband w/ bangs out look, the fauk mohawk look...and I think I can do the some up some down/pompador (whatever it's called) look. So I'll play w/ some stuff during the week maybe. I still do a dry rollerset at night, so it just depends on how I mold/style it.
 
a list of random hair things in 5, 4, 3, 2...

im forever losing my bobby pins.

i use my blowdryer more often for things other than my hair - like when i wash my scarf by hand and want it to dry quickly...or when my clothes get a little wet and i use the blowdryer to dry the spot haha.

i think with these twists i will condition wash once a week & dc once a week...maybe they'll last longer.

i started with the hairfinity vitamins today. we'll see how that goes.

and done.

for now.
 
I'm excited by my hair dream last night. I dreamed that my hair was in 4 chunky twists (which is what I did before I went to bed last night). I was at some sort of hair show and they were gathering ladies to take pics. I untwisted one of my twists and stretched the hair down to my hips. I was proud and happily showing off the hidden length.

This is similar to the hip length dream that I had in 2010. Then, I dreamed that I stretched my hair and it stretched past my hips. I was startled and uncomfortable and released the hair immediately.

In last night's dream, I was proud and happy. I'm taking this to mean that I'll be satisfied when I reach hips this time. :drunk: I sure hope so.
 
I just went Rick James on my hurr. While slathering in coconut oil I said:

Coconut oil. Enjoy yoself!!!

I made an appointment for Wednesday at my hairdressers. She's great with natural hair and if I say 1/2 inch that's all she will cut.

I am debating whether to get layers or not. My hair doesn't really have a style and I'm a little bored with it. I'll post pictures on Wednesday night.

I was just wondering about a good concealer/powder combo for dry skin. I tried MUFE concealer but it makes me look dry even with moisturized skin. :ohwell: I was thinking about breaking down and just going to MAC. Their employees scare me though :blush: chelleypie810

SuchaLady Go to MAC and try the pro longwear concealer. It was one of the best concealers I've used but then I started breaking out =/ However my skin is dry and sensitive..Idk if mine had gotten old or what... but I was using it for about 6 months before i got little bumps on my face. After that I went back to the mac concealer in the pot.

Every time I've gone to MAC, they've been super friendly so just go in and ask for help.

Thinking of using sulfate free shampoos or cleansing conditioners (except when clarifying and relaxer day) to see if that ups my moisture.

Hair one is good but its very drying if you don't use alot of products. I usually have to grease my scalp with vaseline (overnight) before I cleanse.
 
So I'm between a rock and some damn hard places. I'm natural but when I wear wash n go's or twist outs, I get a ton of SSK's and wind up trimming super often. Plus I workout about 4x a week or more, and since my hair is fine, it can't deal with all the manipulation of wash n go's, daily cowashing etc. It hates it. So I'm strongly thinking about doing a BKT but I'm terrified I will lose my curl pattern. I love my curls and when I wear wash n go's I LOVE em. So I would hate to lose that. But I'm losing progress/retention from all the damn trimming. *sigh*
 
I'm out picking up take out from my favorite thai spot - It's pretty nice, nice decor, atmosphere, etc. Not black tie, but not sweats and gym shoes either. So this lady is sitting at a table drinking a martini, with a bed scarf and a full head of rollers in her hair! WTH?? I'm just shaking my head.
 
Thinking of joining BSL or MBL hair length challenge, but I get bored after a while. It is more of a waiting challenge than anything else.
 
It would be cool if I could like to make some clip-ins with this hair... It looks like mine and would blend perfectly!

Hubby just left town for the week.

.... (looks out the window to make sure he's gone)....


It. is. on! It's gonna be a non-stop spa around here. I'm about to pick my kids up with my hair pre-poo'g in two afro puffs. :look: Deal with it! It's on!

:dance7::dance7::dance7::dance7:
 
My mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I couldn't think of anything but hair products. I really want a hooded dryer and folica.com has a 25% off coupon, but of course the one I want is out of stock.

Haha!! I know how you feel!

I did all my shopping Saturday with my hair in an oiled up pre-poo bun. I don't think anyone noticed :look: When I got home my hair was nice and soft and ready to wash :grin:
 
I'm becoming obsessed with twist outs! I'm pretty fast with them now. Can do three twists in about 15 minutes.
