I really want to go to the Oyin Bottling Party on Sunday but I don't want to miss church.

25% off plus a $25 coupon would sure be nice to use on some more Oyin Stuff.

I'll surely attend the next one. :yep:

I now know BSL ain't gonna cut it :/ doesn't feel long.

I think it's cuz I'm a shorty with a short torso. Maybe MBL will look more dramatic.

Also I must confess that I am a hair whipper. I swing my natural hair when straight like it is now. My room mate pointed it out O_o kinda embarrassing :/

i am a hair flipper! no shame in my game! and i feel you on the MBL too! i want dramatic hair, so i can be more dramatic with my flip!:lol:

Girl, everytime I hit "attend event" its sold out! I can't get in! I mean 20mins later its full! Lol! I want to go bad as crap!!!
 
NOT including my Phibbs hair dryer and my one salon visit I have spent about $300 in hair products in the last...oh let's say about 5 months. This should really be a tax write off. I'm stimulating the economy and supporting small (mostly black-owned) businesses.

BF is annoyed at the smell of the sulfur in the revitalizing pomade i use for my edges...I really like it though but I def gotta be more careful with not letting it get on everything..

wow. 'same thing happened years ago...[whoa...ten] when i woud use lavendar, rosemary, or whatever oil Grandma's shoppe was selling on my temples. DH was NOT in hair heaven. The smells were horrible, and the 'oils' dried out the little bits I did have.... [didn't know about 'carrier oils'...]

now, I just deal...I don't think anything will help my edges, besides ignoring them...so then i can go, voila!!! .00001 of an inch in 2 years~LOL...

Babygrowth...that is too funny. On Monday i'll try to RSVP and see what happens...those parties must be hella fun! Its probably the discount & free products...
 
I am loving the warm weather! I have been able to cowash my hair every morning this whole week and let it airdry in a ponytail for work. Super Easy!
 
Cut the relaxer out of mine Mar.2012.. I straightened it in Nov. and realized that it looked like it had been cut in layers and I was very pleased because I have not trimmed my ends yet and the evenness means that I have not broken it off at all...I attribute it to my way of combing it...and not letting hair balls accumulate...got another year to go..then deciding whether to relax again or keep it natural..other than it being so hot in summer..I am pleased..no air gets thru it..going to wear it up all summer!
 
there's no better feeling than seeing your curls in washing your hair after a straight style....glad to know I'm taking good care of my hair! Only YOU can prevent heat damage *Smokey the Bear voice*
 
I henna'ed my hair for the first time tonight and I really like how it came out! :D my curls clump more than ever.

The only problem is in direct sunlight you can see the I missed the first cm of my hairline :lol:. That's probably because that section dried out and didn't get to marinate in the warmth like the rest of my hair.

I'm hoping to do this every 2 weeks. I used the Godrej nupur henna w/ the 9 herbs. My mix was simple 4 cups of water (definitely could have used less water) and a tablespoon of lemon.

Yesterday's co-wash taught me 2 things:

1. When I'm deep in my stretch, my hair loves thin, "watery" conditioners
2. Take reviews with a grain of salt. Yesterday I purchased a La Coupe conditioner that I've never heard about, but I bought it based on the ingredients and it's cone-freeness. Needed something light for after my workout and this was amazing. Had I stuck with HE or the other more well-reviewed brands I wouldn't have given it a chance. But now I really like it.

I have recently sworn off cones too. I am convinced they were stunting my retention!

How deep are in your stretch?
 
Set my appointment to get a sew in for the end of next week so I need to take these flat twist out at least by Saturday. I'm really proud of myself for sticking to protective styles this year so far.
 
*note to self* Never order products online with an empty stomach. I end up ordering too much because my mouth is salivating at the thought of eating them. Product binge!
 
I duno what to do with this natural hair. It doesnt coil on itself completely yet so half of my hair is still straight from heat damage and half is coily and its just a big gross thick odd mess and i look a hot mess and i dont know what to do except put a hat on and hope for the best. Maybe ill go to the beauty supply store earlier than I anticipated and just install today instead of waiting. seriously getting discouraged.

hey hnntrr

What about doing a braid out or twist out? It will help to make the hair texture appear more uniform. :yep:
 
Babygrowth said:
hnntrr what about coils? You can do finger coils or comb coils and leave them in or separate them...

How do you do that? I tried finger coils (I may have been doing them wrong) and they didnt stay at ALL! I thought about doing a straw set? But I dont know how that will look...
