Hi Ladies !

Lord knows I'm not one for frequent updates .. once a yr is good for me lol!
Hats off to the ladies that post pics all the time .. it is so much work! yikes .. I hate it lol..
anyhoo..
My hair has grown a lot since last summer..
I made my goal of mid back !
( i was at BSL for years..from abuse and color damage) .. not full MBL ....but soon and on to WL which is where i want to be ..

So I did a henna on sunday .. my halo of grey and my ends where screaming for it lol..
I had to buy the awful and dreaded colora henna from the BSS http://www.coloraproducts.com/store/Details.cfm?ProdID=38&category=6
(my indian store didnt have any of the good henna :ohwell: ) .. this stuff is gritty and muddy just yuck to put in your hair.. but it did the job lol !!!

My halo is colored and my hair was so soft.. even the crappy henna has its benefits..
I rinsed my hair forever with water .. felt like i poured raw grits in my hair :wallbash:
then i pour about 1/3 of a bottle of suave berry condish in my hair and that really helped get the rest of the
grit out .. washed with hello hydration poo and DC'd with Origins rich rewards http://www.origins.com/templates/pr...CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY5806&PRODUCT_ID=PROD13619
(which no one in here uses lol I guess.... no one gave a damn about my post when i asked about it LOL!:lachen:)
.. my hair was soft naked after the henna .. but the Origins took it to another level LOVE IT !

I dont have pics with the henna in my hair .. it was just nasty .. but there many after shots and pics of my Tightlycurly.com method. I love Teri she really helped my hair turn around .. right along with the ladies of LHCF...


these were taken right after the henna.. yes I look a mess lol










these were taken after the long... but O so worth it ,tightlycurly method







this is how my hair looks after it air dries (about 8 hrs)... shinkage is not a game curls up to my ears!!!





this is my 5 day old hair ... I love it when it gets big :)











Sorry for the long post and the awful grammer.. if you have any questions or tips ..please pm me... thanks to all of you .. I love u guys !

Honei :)

Awe you guys !!! :bighug:
thank you so much !
I cant believe the turn around myself !

@ Garner thank you ... and here is where me and Teri differ ...lol I can't use conditioner as a leave in ... yuck.. it's no good for my hair . leaves my hair dull and my scalp itchy...
I used Cantu Shea butter leave in ... I section my hair in small sections then smooth a generous amount on a section.... keeping my hair wet the whole time i'm smoothing... then I smooth a gel on top of that .. YES u can mix CANTU with a gel lol .. I know folks hate or love it .. Now this was with trial and error .. but Elasta QP FEELS LIKE SLIK gel is not a hard gel .. it got a soft hold and can be put right on top on Cantu .. no white balls !! lol
Ok then I smooth each curl just like Teri .. It takes forever ... but I do not have to do my hair for the reast of the week .. I braid it up at night in 2-4 braids and cover with a satin bonnet .. in the morning on day three, I refresh like she does with a water and a light conditoner ..
