hey girl! I'm no hair typing scientist but i keep @Nonie on payroll
and to me you appear to be a perfect 4a
when wet your curls may be a little heavier and elongated vs. when dry but it certainly looks alot like mine (especially the fine strands)
i have been applying the jamila henna... i didn't notice a difference yet (only a few applications.... ) but after using the aphogee reconstructor my texture changed ...it appears thicker and coarser than usual
i love it! hopefully over the next year I may be able to enhance a long-term thicker appearance
First off, YOU ARE SOO NICE!!
I never have to wonder this world not knowing my hair type, this is good!Speaking of trying to get that awesome thick hair. I actually found something that helped out a little, wheat germ oil. my hair is about i guess 25% thicker, and my bestie even noticed it. I baggie with it over night and I'm seeing some good results! I'm open to anything that will help me in that area, my hair is so pathetic straight its rediculous.

awwww thanks.. girl u don't know the half
but I'll take nice
but i use wheat germ & hemp seed in my leave in concoction 99% of the time... sometimes i have to pull back a bit (when i notice my hair losing its elasticity)
i sell jbco so i use both it and now brand in my leave-ins and/or scalp potions
yeah i play sir-mix-a-lot more often than not, rarely measure... and slightly vary it most of the time
i need to incorporate the other tons of oils i have and don't use

Ok here are my pics a few are from when i big chopped and some from more recently. Different spots on my head are fine, and not so fine. LOL Some are loose and some are tight. Its weird because some parts of my head also have different amounts of shrinkage, Im walking around with a mullet fro sometimes, but i rock the mullet out of it. lol
I think i had kkcc here:
No product here:
Not sure whats in the hair
Most Recent: Not a darn product in my hair LOL. But it was kinda stretched. I just like sharing pics. When i take better ones ill share if you guys dont mind.

OK, Ladies, any suggestions. I can't find a moisturizer that does just that as Nefertiti seems to suggest?
Does anyone make their own moisturizer without oils or proteins? Share, please. Thanks!

I did it!!! I did my first real rollerset. I flat iron the roots (even though I didn't have too but was curious). Thanks for your advice. I don't have to rely on anyone to straighten my hair now but me, myself and I

Twists are a PS. You could also do a phony bun or pony if your hair is long enough to pull back.

If you do it right nobody will be able to tell. I wore a phony puff when I had a TWA. Nobody knew until I told them. IIRC I even posted a thread about it back in the day. I still add hair to my buns sometimes to make them look bigger. *Shrugs*
Why not try the two strand twists? I think with shorter hair you don't have that many options that don't include adding some hair.

i did a set of twists.... emergency twists
the other dayI had no notice for an urgent appointment ... my first time
however my ends aren't protected
... too short to hide the endsbut you are exactly right mini twists are the only thing I've come up with after searching youtube for 48hours straight
I have a incurable itchy scalp so micro's or kinky twists last me about 8 days
washing 2-3 times during that period
erplexed nothing has fixed this scalp of mine

tHENATuRALhAiRpRoJEcT & my 4A ladies! I need some advice about egg protein. What has been your experience when left in longer than 20min?

daydreamist I plan to do some research in this area soon, but I currently don't know why some have what they entitle as "protein sensitive" hair[USER=305574 said:
which hardens easily and somewhat appears brittle with protein overload
I personally have no where near this descriptive when it comes to results after protein treatments... my hair eats it up & asks for a few seconds
I can personally leave egg or harder proteins on for a full day without adverse effects

tHENATuRALhAiRpRoJEcT I have a better plan.
Send me a few strands of your hair. :eyebrows2 I promise I won't use them in any witch brew or for casting spells or bring them anywhere near my voodoo doll, but I will take a photo of them and post.
So g'waan and be a good sport
oke:

now i only have a nickle worth of hair since my big chop
and you wanna make a voodoo wig out of this?
i brought my grandmothers some "voodoo" dolls (not sure if they are, but they look exactly like it)... brought them from the essence festivalshe was simply terrified... made me hide them in a box in her garage
my back already hurts.... no ma'amnot sending you these not so goldy locs

I went ahead and tried it since I saw u post this and I gotta say my hair came out great!! I was experiencing some major breakage so I mixed a whole egg with wheat germ oil and left it on for over 2 hours. Thanks!!
