Im going to try this hhj one more time. I'm going to buy 2 nicer dc today and I will bun or phony pony from now to Aug. This is in prep for my relaxer in Aug. I want my edges to be on point so I will have to nix the whole braid thing as I think that will be too heavy on my dear edges. I will use castor oil once a day on my edge and nape. I pray this works and I can at least get a full good head of hair. I think my poo's are ok I just think when it comes to conditioner I'm missing the mark. I use SE dc's and I think its time for a change. Now off to research dc's and make a trip to Target.
 
GoddessMaker have you considered just relaxing now (if you are relaxing for sure) rather than waiting and nursing your hair from there? This way you won't waste time identifying/buying products that work with your natural hair just to start over the process of learning how to deal with your relaxed hair. Granted if actually relaxing is not for certain then continue to wait until you know for sure that's what you want to do.
 
Nix08 I'm like sorta scared to relax. I know it's just hair but I'm trying to build some confidence in my ability to care for my hair. I have all the relaxer stuff at home too I'm just nervous. I know they always say make sure your hair is as healthy as possible before relaxing so I am going to give it the next few months of intense care then relax.
 
This is the best my hair has looked (from me styling it out of a salon) in a long time...I'm SO happy, I know what steps/products to use to make my hair feel salon silky!
 
I want to straighten my hair but I KNOW it won't have that professional look I want it to. *sigh*
Off to watch westndnbeauty and simpleyounique yt videos.
 
Is it being diva that I want my hair to look kick arse at all times..I want everything I wear to be cute. I think that is also a hestitation of mines to get braids because I don't want to look rough but I know I wouldnt want to take them out for 3 months at least. I think that's why I don't like twist in my hair or anything like that. I like pretty flowy styles. But bunning will be my ticket for a while though. I want to go to the bss so bad now but can't since I have people here in the office. Come on this evening I'm ready to go.
 
my hair looks like crap. i hate i gotta wait to get this cast off to cowash it. guess i will be wigging it tonight. i need to do something to my nails too.
 
I am lovin my hair more as time passes...never thought I would see the day lol...im only apl but I never saw it comn. My braid/twistouts, wash n gos, rollersets, ponytails, etc look so nice now...I am finally happy w/my hair :)

So after almost a year.... I think I got my hair product game on point. Sadly it came to me after spending a mini fortune on things that didn't do anything for my hair. I guess many of us go thru this trial and error phase of our journeys. Washing and DC is not that scary thing anymore because I know what the out come will be. Soft, silky hair everytime... YAY!!!
 
Hubby: You're going natural, right?

Me: (moisturizing and sealing my hair) Yeah...

Hubby: So why do you have to do all this stuff to be natural? Just let it be.

Me: Natural is letting my hair grow without chemically processing it. I still have to take care of what I grow.

Hubby: You ladies are going too deep with it. All you need to do is wash and condition it and let it dry. Oh. And grease your scalp, like once a month or something.

Me: (Stopping everything to look at him all crazy) Who are you?
 
so now my hair has decided it's a bougie broad. I used to be able to use these cheapie conditioners but after experiencing true moisture from good products, I can't deal with a cheapie. tresemme moisture is :nono:
currently DC'ing with silk elements for the first time in ages. sorry hair. I will attempt to start giving a damn again.
 
Trying to do the salon thing because my hair love rollersets but I've realized it's too long for me to put up with and i end up not doing them half the time but i don't think i can do this salon thing much longer. This is only my second visit and I'm ready to quit lol.

ETA: my hair sooooo silky though lol

about to slap on the indigo next :)
 
I'm thinking about doing a mini-chop (from bsl to shoulder length). All this flat-ironing has taken a toll on my hair. My hair is nowhere near as full and healthy as it was 6 months ago :sad:. After I chop, I'm going back to protective styling with weaves.
 
I can't wait until June to get my hair colored at the Aveda salon I do a touch up once a year, so I am besides myself with anticipation. I have been trying to pamper her all winter and spring and keep splits and ssk's to minimum. Can I get to 18 inches all the way around already, damn. I also am thinking about a deep aubany(sp) red. It's like a christmas present in the summer.
 
Wondering if there is a point of my doing a jet black semi perm color on my hair since I know I will be using castor oil on my edges daily while rocking my phony buns. I went through and chunked some hair stuff this morning felt good to do. Now I need to decide on what I will use this aloe vera juice for since my hair has rejected it. Trying to be in tune with my hair is weird..
 
THANK GOODNESS for CURLFORMERS, they for me are the best thing since sliced cheese.
bEtween WEN and Curlformers my hair is loving itself. LOTTABODY thanks for the most awesome hold :) I keep my style for a week.

THanks for all the lovely products that helped me to get here today.... OH sorry thought I was giving a speech LOL
 
My natural hair pet peeve is people still not grasping the difference between TEXTURE and CURL PATTERN

Im tired of people asking me how i GET my hair curly when they tell me their texture is the same as mine:rolleyes:

Then have the nerve to try Interrogate me as if im lying and going to slip up and be outed

NO!:rolleyes:




WOOOSSAAHHH
