[JJamiah]

Imma go by my Sallys and see if they still have it and take your word in a week or so when I take out these cornrows....It betta work or its going to be me and you JJ LOL

No push me on that steamer....How much is that?

I think you will be pleased

Steamers at www.salonsrus.com is $100 but it is worth it when you have a little extra cash to burn.

I can't wait until you detangle with this thing it is awesome

 

[JJamiah]

MsBHaven are you rubbing your fingers across the bristles going ?
I remember before I washed my hair and used it for detangling I was like this is Crap, it won't do anything but lay on my hair LOL!

 

[JJamiah]

Hey Ladies, been a couple of days... but I wanted to update y'all....

I WORE MOMMY TO WORK!!!!! YES, I DID!!!!

It went well, of course some folks were like, you cut your hair??? That is a nice cut for you!!

I have a co-worker (unlikeliest candidate ) now interested and frequently asking questions about wigs that she wants to buy... like I'm a wig guru or something... Not hardly!

Of course, I have disclosed to a few that I was wearing a wig and it didn't feel awkward either... I am comfortable with it, which makes it more fun... especially when I retire Mommy for something longer...

Anyway, all's well and I will wear Mommy for a little while longer, til I tire of her and move on to another style

Danielle, the curly one is becoming tangled (more so, when I try to separate the curls... don't know what I'm going to do about her... and I still think she is too big) Oh and I am think I am over wigs with highlights, unless is 4/30-- but I think I will just focus on 4's with my next purchase.

Congrats on wearing Ms. Mommy out! I was really thinking about getting Danielle in NOvember. I guess not

Oh and just read above post... YES TANGLE TEASER BEATS DENMAN ALL THE WAY!!!!
Lovely item to have!!!

Say it again Acapnleo!

My hair was deathly afraid of the Denman. I couldn't even bring myself to try it, knowing how my wig brush just rips through my wig, YIKES! I was Scurred!

I was actually rubbing on it thinking my hair will be all in its little teeth, and not on my head

I'm in a post slump but not in a hide my hair slump. I come to the site daily, lurk and post here and there. Love you all the same though. I'll get out of my post slump soon, I'm sure. Oh and the tangle teezer is awesome....can't do without it, ever! One of the teeth got all bent up on my 1st teezer. I have a 2nd one that is brand new, unused. I will be buying a 3rd this month. My goal is to have 5 of them on hand just in case my hole in the wall Sally's stop carrying them. I just hope these things are NEVER discontinued. I'd be so lost.

Starting to get tired of halfwigs (whodathunkit)....gonna change up my protective style soon. Hmm maybe I'll go back to braid out buns:

I miss my hair but I just put cornrows in lol I'll leave these in for 2-3 weeks

What ever happened at your salon visit? Hope it went well.

 

[Wildchild453]

I wore my hair in a puff once but mostly its been buns and pin ups. I don't even feel like I'm on a challenge this is so easy.

 

[LilMissSunshine5]

That $100 steamer looks excellent! I may need to jump on that! Now I regret buying the heat cap for $20+ Yall are going to bankrupt me LOL Does it make that much of a difference in the health of people's hair?

 

[NefertariBlu]

Checking in. I have had my braids in for 5 weeks. Wont be taking them out for another 3 weeks. After I take them out I will wash and condition and put them right back in again. Wigs make me play around in my hair too much, so when it's covered I can't really get to it. I plan to keep re braiding every 8 weeks, so far so good

 

[Lanea87]

Your hair is pretty.....

[Rossy2010]

Checking in.
Im 6 weeks post and still hiding my hair either with buns or french braids under the wig
i have 6 more week until my next relaxer then i can do a length check. However i will try to stretch as much as I can.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Morning Ladies!

I hope you all had a good weekend! Mine flew by before I knew it. I did manage to wash two heads, and straighten one (DD). Suffice it to say, she went to school looking cute this morning. I hope her yearbook pix turn out cute. She has this bad habit of giving a pasty toothepaste commercial smile. When she does her natural smile her pix are gorgeous (because she smiles with her eyes.

As for me, I went right back to my trusty reliable bun. Oh, BTW, I tried JBCO for the first time...that stuff stinks! PEEEEEWWWWW!erplexed

 

[CurlyNiquee]

I am in! A bit late but definitely in

 

[JJamiah]

I had a blessed weekend
After class on Saturday I went to meet the boys and Husband at the Baseball Center where they were going through drills, this year they are sending them through a camp (we were the champions don't know why LOLOLOL I guess they are trying to keep that status)
Sunday we went to Chuckie Cheese had lunch. The kids had a ball, and I got to relax with the Mr. and watch them have fun LOL!

I couldn't have ask for anything different

OH YEAH,

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Better late than never! Welcome!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Glad you had a good weekend JJ!

I am calculating right now the cost of 2011 hair products. Want to see how much I go through in a year

Girl, I'm scared to tally up my own bill, much less yours! Does that include the wigs?

 

[JJamiah]

LOL,

Well My year ends in November (black Friday for my hair purchases)

No it doesn't include wigs.

I am calculating products only.
Some of my products lasted all through last year. I think some will definitely last longer this year.

As I use them up I will update my list. It will help me not to over spend on BF and make better purchasing choices.

I am going to get 2 orders per year (3 month supply) of Wen (if I like it)
If I need any more I will be supplementing with Hair One Olive Oil
Aphogee 2 minute
Silk Elements Megasilk Moisturizing Conditioner
Alter Ego Garlic Treatment
DRC 28
Aphogee Leave in & Green Tea
Her Styler hair serum
Argan Oil
Nu-Gro Moisturizing SPray (for my braids)
Nu-Gro Grease (For my braids)

So this is my yearly list. I have some as needed things that I most likely won't need for a Very long time.

As I said this stuff might last longer, I might just order my wen as needed, Dunno, I just want to make sure nothing is like a 2 year supply.

Checking in!! I have done my second install now. Taking my hair vitamins and fish oil daily! Absolutely loving it!! I have sew in Malaysian hair right now and it is awesome! I will be posting pics soon! I am so excited! Thanks for the motivation everyone! I am very blessed to have found LHCF. Have a nice Black History Month!

 

[LilMissSunshine5]

I need advice ladies! Should I do another install of crochet braids at the end of this month, get individual braids, get a sew in for the first time?! Or just wear my hair out in PS? I have to hide it from myself bc I am being tempted to BC and I only have a little under 8 months NG I wish I had 12" of curls! Plus, I have so much shrinkage, so my hair is going to look like a TWA I need advice ladies...

I'm afraid of sew ins so that's a negative for me. I would vote for what ever PS that I could leave in the longest and would keep my hands out of my hair. Sorry I'm no help but I vote braids...either crochets or individuals

 

[Drtondalia]

Hi Ladies Just wondering....for those of you that wear LF's do you wear some of your own hair out in the front??
MissSunshine : I think you should do another set of crochet braids....you did a great job!

 

[lamaria211]

Checking in braided under a wig since 4ever. I just spent 100$ @ beauty4ashes has anyone here tried their products?

 

[Firstborn2]

Checking in, everything is going well. my natural braids have been in since 12-26-10. I wash my hair once a week, deep condition or steam which ever I'm in the mood to do once a week and seal the ends with vaseline experimenting with that right now. I'm goin to keep these braids in until the end of the week and redo them, it appears that I've gained 3/4 of an inch in some spots and an inch in others, I'm excited, I hope this growth rate continues.
