not extreme, but let's just say I don't "believe" in full price anymore.

hair love: on Monday i did a GREAT DC w/ Main and Tail, Kenra, the works!!...then i slept with my hair out/ didn't do anything to it, and it just...didn't. it didnt. so last night i wet it really well and went to bed with a plastic cap on my hair, hopefully it'll behave today.

i tried the DC method with the sprush/ brush (like how you would relax), and i loooove it.


that is all. for now.
 
FOUR HOUR detangling session after using devil keracare natural textures cleansing cream im FURIOUS!!!:nono::nono:
 
i gotta get me a big silk scarf for the winter. the only type of PS i might do is some pinups in the back with some curls in the front.
 
I love my hair. I really do. I'm so glad I found hair forums and youtube. It's made my natural hair journey so easy. I would have never considered it without all the ladies who share and contribute via the internet.
 
I thought I would feel good about someone saying that she was jealous of my hair but I don't. I want her to love her hair the way that I love mine. If I could give that feeling of love to every woman I know I'd feel amazing!

Last night I spend hours detangling my fro because I just slept on it bare for two days, the ultimate no no. Even worse is that I chopped onions without gloves on so my fingers will smell like funk for a few days and so will my hair. Oh well.

On a happy note the other day I woke up to my husband sleeping with his hand in my hair.
 
Used Water, Tree Tea Oil, & Nouveau Moisturizing Finishing Lotion last night and my hair curled up & I liked it... It needs to get a little bigger tho, but still thought it was cute & I have made a lot of progress

Looking at black women's hair, the majority of us will have average length hair. not short, not long either, kind of in between (APL) if you like.

The minority of us has long hair (e.g. waist length and beyond)

considering the fact that waist length hair can be achieved from scratch in less 5 years, why is it that most of us do NOT have this length of hair? I'm talking black women in general, not the members of this forum (as we are specially focused on our hair).

Many of us want long hair, and many of us will not CUT unless we have to. So that leaves me wondering, if it's not cutting that prevents us from having long hair, then what was it?

I'm 23, I've been growing my hair for 23 years. At age 21 I was a little past shoulder length hair and I decided to shave it all of off because I had texlaxed and realised what I had done. At this age I could have reached waist length hair 4 times, shaving it off everytime I reach it! Forget 4 times, have I even once achieved this length? No!where am I? armpit length. and that's only my longest hair (bottom back), after 2 strenuous years of taking care of my hair, and not cutting it once! do you get my drift?

so, sorry for the long post but my question is really Why do most of us NOT have long hair?

Was this rhetorical? I'll answer anyway....

Because most of us have to work really hard to retain our hair unlike others that grow hair and retain the length effortlessly. Most women IRL don't want to work that hard or don't know they can work towards longer hair. The knowledge on this board is not common knowledge or practice so we have uncommon results.
 
Skiggle idk. I definitely love the ease of blow dried hair and I know it would definitely help with ssks. I guess the risk of permanently altering my texture keeps me from doing it.
 
Here wishing my hair would grow to BSL over night and i mean waking up tomorrow morning with BSL unstretched hair

Hmm... Many women of all races have a hard time making it to WL due to genetic terminal length. I think it would be more reasonable to ask why most black women aren't at least APL..
 
i lost my satin bonnet. i've looked everywhere but i think the boogie man took it. :sad:

it's sad it takes a hair slump for me to me on point with my vitamin/supplement/nutrition game. :look:

my hair is moisturized, soft and supple. i love baggying.:love3: why oh why did i forsake thee after APL? i think it can keep up protective styling and baggy 3xs a week i'll be swing MBL tresses by valentine's day :)
 
I can't wait to wash my hair tomorrow! I added Biotin to my Hairfinity last week and noticed growth in a couple of days! Might I be back to my pre-setback length by my birthday???:look: I'll even take the end of the month.:grin:

Spongebob, From what I've seen, many BW do not know what their hair needs and/or for whatever reason don't put in the time to find out. Hair is always growing, it's retention that seems to elude a lot of BW. One BW I know, desperately wants long hair and is frustrated at being 'stuck' at SL. I know she's not doing simple things that could help her grow and retain length like DC-ing, taking vitamins, watching how much heat she's using or keeping her hair moisturized and when I suggested some of these things she immediately said she was too busy.:perplexed What can I say? I tried.
