Register today to view all forum posts.

finally FINALLY (OMG!!) found my staples.

Holy sh!t, i'd almost driven myself to the food bank (do y'all have those there or just food stamps?) trying to find products that would work to keep my hair moist w/out a lot of layering and other techniques.

drumroll pls:
- WEN for regular washes
- mudwash DC every 6-8wks for deeper cleansing
- Qhemet everything (specifically aeothepica and honey hydrating thing)
- henna

aaaand, that's it :D

so happy. whew! now i need to figure out a reggie and decide whether to add MT. 14mths later and my hair finally knows moisture. what a relief :yep:
 
I think I want to cut my hair due to recent happenings.

I don't think I can tolerate the long hair and it's issues of washing.

APL was my favorite Length and BSB is also beautiful :perplexed:

I won't cut right now, I won't make a decision while in this state of frustration :perplexed:

I did order some new half wigs hope those keep me happy for a while :look:
 
Any hair style that takes more than 15 min to do, I will not continue to do on a constant basis.

I may flat iron every once in a while.

I may twist every once in a while.

I may just be fro'ing it for the next year so that I can have my life back!
 
I don't feel like fooling with care of my hair. I don't want to wait I want WL hair now. But I know in 2 years if I don't take care of my hair it won't be so I might as well take care of it to get to my goal.

Okay i feel better now:)
 
uuuuhhhhhmmmm this GHEing better make a helluva difference for 2012 for real because sleeping with 50million things on my head aint the move
 
I want to straighten my hair, but I must resist the urge. I promised myself that I would wait until early spring (March).
 
i wanna cowash my hair tonight.

i wouldn't mind tracking my growth on youtube, but then i would have to get all jazzed up and have good lighting, and editing, etc.... too much work.

I am so excited because my cornrows and twists with additional hair has gotten so much better. I just had to take my time:)
 
My hair looked great flatironed. My ends were trimmed too. Still not APL, getting there. After a really steamy shower-puffy roots. Ugh. The sleek look is gone. Maybe I will do a twist out tomorrow. I wanted straight hair for Xmas. :(. Maybe I will get flatironed one more time for NYE. Then no heat til June or Dec 2012.
 
im sitting here trying to figure out how in the heck i went from significantly decreasing ssk's, learning to keep my hair moisterized and hardly any hairs when i handle my hair, to now having patches of hair come out each day?

the only thing im doing diifferent is cowashing once a week as opposed to two to three times a week. my hair couldnt possibly be coming out for that reason right?
 
My SSK's are basically gone. I noticed after using the terressentials mud wash that my hair was very smooth. I tried everything. I gave up on trying to get rid of ssks. Someone asked if anyone else noticed a reduction in ssks since using the mudwash in the thread. That is when I realized mine were basically gone. I rarely find them anymore.

nicole625 I would check the date of the products. I had a minor issue when I used a product that had turned bad. I clarified, used tea tree shampoo and conditioner and the acv. I used Rosemary hair oil and Jbco . Then I went basic with my regimen.

I hope you can figure out what is going on. Hugs.

@nicole625 Could it be seasonal shedding? There is a thread about excessive shedding a member was experiencing. Let me see if I can find it for you.

I wish I had the money I would find a good stylist to do my hair.I need one that does house calls.I'm tired of vanity and I have put so much focus on fitness that my hair is lucky to get noticed..sad I know and I'm thinking once I hit goal weight I will be shaving it all off..
 
I just clicked in a thread b/c I couldn't think of anything nice to say and the only thing that came to my mind is if my hair looks like this I'm going to cry.

eta: ugh Make that 2 threads. Im going to baggy and head to the ET section

im so upset that some of the best products ive used on my relaxed hair dont even cost more than $5 i wasted quite a bit of money on expensive stuff that didnt even work well:ohwell:

*ahem* Joico *ahem*
 
Ladies I am depressed. This past weekend I came home from college. I was so excited to take down my sew-in, that I didn't really take the time to analyze what type of attention my hair needed. I decided to use my steamer because I thought I would "treat" my hair. I sat under the steamer with a deep moisturizing conditioner and ended up with the worst moisture overload imaginable my hair did not have any strength AT ALL everytime I touched it would stretch eternally like a piece of gum and snap ...I ended up with a lot of lost hair ...after two serious protein treatments I am still trying to get over the loss of soo much hair. My hair before I washed it, beautiful (*because of the progress I made) and after .....ehh, someone give me hope, (beating my self up!)

I wonder what this braid will look like at the end of the day

I'm mad at myself for buying more crappy conditioners to use up before I get to the good stuff. I'm done buying things!
 
i almost had a nasty setback with a product. i dc'ed with Elasta QP Dr? and tried to cowash with Suave Tropical Coconut. my root started to mat up and my ends felt coated. i had to shampoo that mess out and apply some Keracare Humecto to soften it back up.

oh has your hair every snagged on something and you felt like your whole head was damaged? i know i am being dramatic....

really trying to get this wet bunning thing down.

Huh??? What? What recent happenings? What has got you all loopy over there, girl? I hope you're just talking out of frustration. You and those scissors have been showing out lately. Details.

*NJoy goes to get a switch in case this reasoning isn't good enough and JJ gets trigger happy*
 
My hair is growing and I'm retaining better than I ever have, but I still feel like I should be longer...I'm just impatient...doesn't feel like its coming fast enough.
