Blahh I can't make a puff anymore now that my hair is starting to hang down in the back and.middle but the front grows up -___- it looks so weird

Loving my wig but not enjoying the attention.

Maybe, JUST maybe, you might wanna give us a peek too? C'mon, girl. Show us the goods. grin

Missing my hair!!!

 

[sckri23]

Since my oil mix straightened my hair I decided to wrap it







my no-heat, no-rollerset, straight texlaxed wrap. Ugh I so didn't feel like wearing my straight today. Oh well

Knowing how to do my hair so its healthy and will grow to be long is like waiting for water to boil. Im scared this is going to take 5 years :O

 

[caliscurls]

Finally figured out that the key to me not having detangling issues is pre-pooing with EVCO for at least 2 hrs w/ a cap, not rinsing and going straight to a dry overnight DC. What a difference, it's like I have a new head of hair.

I wish someone, anyone would tell me how to get my 4ab twist out...shiny. It's day 4 and looking dry. Maybe this is normal? I'm ready to wash and retwist. Is that what people do?

I used Talijad (spelling?) twist gel, shea butter underneath and let it dry overnight. The first day - shiny hair. The second day...eh, it was okay, but now...not so cute.

I was thinking of being a straight natural for a while, and after the best flat iron job ever (or close to it) I changed my mind and want Senegalese twists. Or braid extensions.

Or to try a twistout and try to make it last a week with flaxseed gel.

This is why I love being natural, it gives me what I want almost on demand- and Lord knows I'm fickle with my styles. After 5 years I pretty much know what to do to get the results I want.

I hope this hasn't already been posted, but in case anyone's in the market for a curling iron, Living Social have a Proliss with ceramic and tourmaline plates valued at $220 selling for $29.

I'm in the process of removing my braids, it's getting too loose at the roots though it still kinda look good. My sista took a picture and my surprise when she told me I am 2 inches or less far from BSL! Whoop Whoop! But I know I need to trim my hair so BSL 2013! Heyyy!

 

[sckri23]

I'm gonna stop by roses or family dollar to pick up a suave conditioner. Hopefully it cleans and moisturizes with no residue like my vanishing staple.

Look at this long strand. LOL See the bulb? Def shed. Its comforting to see a white bulb and know its not breakage. Nobody understands but you ladies.

It's hard for most 4a/4b types to get shine because of the way the hair reflects light.

Whatever shine you get may be gone by day four if you have not reapplied anything between days one and four.

Product Suggestions:

1. Coconut Oil as an oil rinse, pre-poo, or after you have washed your hair. It gives amazing shine.

2. Avocado or hempseed oils on top of your pre-poo. My hair always has a nice sheen when I do this.

3. Oyin's Burnt Sugar Pomade gives my hair a very nice sheen, and so did Hairveda's Almond Glaze.

4. The Jane Carter Solution Nourish and Shine is an awesome finisher that does give my hair some shine. I am never without this product.

I almost texlaxed my hair.

I love being natural, etc. Love everything about it EXCEPT the inconsistency. I neva know what my hair is going to look like day to day (unless I'm flat ironing it). Working out daily on my lunch break has really been frustrating hair-wise. Wash n go's tear my ends up, plus that's a lot of manipulation daily. I thought back to when I was texlaxed and working out daily.. my hair was just so much smoother. I feel like I'm not retaining because I'm constantly manipulating my hair to get to look decent through workouts, etc. Not perfect but decent. I dunno. I just want APL at least, dammit.

NJoy here it is.

I like the cut/style of it, and have only gotten compliments on it, but I think the color it what's making me self conscious about it and causing me to feel some type of way about the attention.

 

[Nonie]

FroFab, I think it looks fine. I don't see anything wrong with the color either. You have such beautiful eyes BTW; even with the glasses on, they stand out.

Now don't take this the wrong way; if I didn't care, I'd not say it: I think your nose would look better if you would stop bleaching it or used a darker foundation on it. Also I am not a fan of your caterpillar eyebrows (Sorry). The skin forum may offer suggestions for threading; shaped eyebrows really do make a difference! I don't mind your mustache though. I keep mine so if you like yours, I love it. Other than that, you're a doll!

 

[naturalagain2]

I change my techniques so often. I forget what works. NO MORE! Once I figure out how to keep these ssk at bay again I'm writing down what I did. I def need a journal!

 

[FroFab]

For a second I was like ,"oh no, Nonie is going in on me! See this is why I don't post photos". Then I remembered. Shoot, my nose is that complexion cause its a genetic trait associated with my unicorn status.

Thank you for the compliment.

Sigh I just can't with nonie

Oh yes. I see why the compliments. I love it! What's the name and make of the wig?

And I see you're in on that "moustache" craze, huh? My daughter has moustache everything so, I 'stached myself. How ya like me now? lol

bRought- past tense of bring; come to a place with
Ex. I saw lots of things in Sally's. I'm glad I brought my credit card

 

[TwoSnapsUp]

Now I air dry differently. Instead of using NTM leave in, I dry my hair with my terry cloth, then apply oil. My hair comes out soft and shiny.
