divachyk- trying to get back up to at least 5 days a week. I workout before work so I should be able to get it done.

I wanna flat iron my hair sooo badly lol just for a change. But I'm only 4 months post, and trying to flat iron all these crazy layers would take forever, just for it to revert in like 30 minutes in this humidity. *le sigh* Guess I'll just buy a new product.

@faithVA

the @Nonie method

where you twirl each strand before you twist them together.

hoping to get longer lasting and possibly more shrinkage from my twistout

Itgirl, How did the twists/twists out come out?

I did it as well but after an oil rinse. Might be too much with an oil rinse. It makes my twist very thin. But I'm working it out though.

I usually add two capfuls of protein filler to my relaxer whenever I get a touchup. I love the thickness if give my hair it will usually last two to three weeks even though I wash my hair twice a week. I wish I knew how to use it other than adding it to relaxers.

I really like HE Totally Twisted conditioner as a daily leave-in. I've been using it since March of this year, so I'm confident that using it undiluted isn't damaging my strands.

This weekend I'm going to try doing a bantu knot out since I'm tired of wearing lace fronts. I'm going to carry a banana clip just incase it doesn't work out.

What form of protein is it? Is it a raw material?

Put henna on my hair and sitting under the dryer. I need to not let 6 months pass again before doing this. Especially since this seems to be the only thing that keeps my scalp in check. Otherwise, I have a itchy, flaky mess hidden under all this hair.

 

[NappyNelle]

Where is my vatika oil? I had it last week...

 

[kittenz]

Thinking of doing a trim this weekend. I'm 7 month into my transition and it maybe time to let an inch or 2 of the relaxed ends go.

Wash day is quickly approaching. Goodbye soft/roller set hair. You've been good to me. I want to achieve you again but the drying experience is so brutal that I think I will forgo you the next time around and air dry my hair.

 

[Lissa0821]

greenandchic.. It's called Neutral protein filler, you can add it your hair before coloring it to get a even color. It is made of kertain protein and hydrolyzed wheat protein. I think I am going to add a little bit to my deep conditioner today and see what happens.

Feeling really good today, hairwise. I went to the bss for supplies to do my daughter's hair. My own hair is in Celie braids pulled back and pinned up with a flexi8. One braid hanging down in the front like a bang. A guy came up and complimented my "natural hair". He was gushing on about how sexy and beautiful it is and how healthy mine looked. I thought he had to be gay to notice until he asked me out. Huh? erplexed I left my house feeling like my hair was ratchet and who would see me in the bss anyhoo? Feeling great now. Thanks random brotha. :reddancer:

My mother used my hair scissors to cut thread. She owes me new hair scissors.

Under the dryer with hair in a pony. Think I went a little to heavy on the Eco. Oh well.

I did my oil rinse before I put them in. Mine looked the same way. But I separated the twists this morning. And I discovered if I then took each section and only separated it 50% of the length, it gave me volume at the root but because I didn't separate the ends it didn't frizz.

I want to try to remember this when I do a bantu knot out.

Thanks! I wonder how it will be when added to conditioners...

Yeah, I am not all that confident about adding to a deep conditioner so I think I am going to hold off. I need to touch up my grey hairs so I will add it to my semi permanent hair color next week.

 

[Nix08]

I need to go figure out where BSB is on my body and how many inches to go....

 

[Nix08]

erplexed really 3.5"
ETA: BUT I am 8wks post and airdried maybe it's more like 2.5 a girl can hope

 

[sunnieb]

My old hair salon closed down last week. I'd heard that business was slow over there, but I didn't know it was that bad. They had been in business for over 15 years! I wonder if it has to do with more ladies doing their own hair or just a bad economy or both. Hmmmm.........

I sometimes add a tablespoon to my moisture dcs without any problem. Especially if I am feeling lazy and dont want to do a two step protein/moisture dc. My hair turns out soft and strong
