Oh the difference oiling the hair/scalp massages can be on my hair! I am loving it..

Wearing ponytails is helping make this transition easier than the last...well that and doing dc's weekly.

I've been blowdrying my hair (on medium) and flat ironing every two weeks since 12/15/2011. My hair has still managed to retain a lot on length. Heat has been my savior.

My hair and I are not friends right now. I am at the point where I am sick of it. It's currently in a sloppy bun with a headband. My plan is to DC and wash/condition tonight, blow dry, flat iron, and pincurl (so I can look nice for my mom for mother's day ). I hope it turns out okay. I have so much new growth. I hate when my hair is like this because of the shrinkage. I'm trying to wait another month before a touch up, though.

I BCed almost 3 months ago. Why haven't I reached BSL yet?

 

[Smiley79]

I wonder if Biotin still gives me those insane "hit-by-a-slegdghammer" headaches. I had used it for about a month and had to toss the bottle...that was 4 years ago. Im tempted to try it one more time. Eghhh, decisions, decisions. Hair growth should be natural not painful.

Is this thread ever gonna be made into a Part 2? lol,I cant believe I'm poster # 10180.

So I am gonna try my hardest not to use heat..I airdried my hair in 6 bantu knots overnight and while the two knots in the back dried fully and its so cute...the two in the front and middle are taking forever to dry smh. I am gonna try a braid or twistout tonight after I co-wash.

Being without my moisturizer is no fun.

I love my husband. I really do. What I don't like is when he tells me "to do my hair", especially after seeing me cowash, twist, braid, air dry, or whatever to my hair. He cites seeing naturals online as the key to doing hair. Mind you it's often women with 3b or 3c hair (I have 3c/4a hair). Ugh!

 

[Rocky91]

interesting how i'm not yet completely bored with these yarn twists...might wear them all summer. maybe.

I did a measurement with my tape and calculated I am 10 inches from my hair goal. I better sit tight and stop measuring monthly as it would take 2 years at best to get there.

Quick Question for anyone: I've tried making a leave in conditioner using leave in and water, but my hair turns out hard.

Does this mean that I'm not using enough conditioner or too much?

 

[melissa-bee]

I suspect that it was henna giving me breakage. The broken off patch seems to be growing in just fine now.

Getting my hair back under control for my touch up in two month. I don't to hear anything negativee from the stylist about taking care of my own hair.

So the eyebrow lady left the eyebrow place and now does her own thing in a hair shop. Since she's so good I went there. This is the first time seeing her at her new location since she moved and as usual I started looking around to see if it would be a potential place for my own hair since I'm thinking about going from natural to relaxed... again.

I saw only one head of healthy hair. Everyone else wasn't jacked but it wasn't what I was looking for either. I determine health by the amount of edges I see. I saw very few heads with their edges in tact. I saw one woman with bsl hair and no edges!

Then I saw her. Her hair was something amazing. As I was watching her hair get straightened I looked at the products used. Chi iron guard and silk infusion. So I walked up to the stylist who was doing her hair and asked if the girl was relaxed or natural. She was natural. But! That was her first time in that shop. I need to see a head of healthy hair that's been going to this woman for at least some months.

Dang, that was a long random thought.

My B.A.S.K products should be here tomorrow.

The hair obsession bug is trying to make its way back with the excessive amount of length checking I've been doing lately. I'm going to do an official length check on the 13th and after that no more length checks until the end of September! I would like to cut back to two to three length checks per year, better to see progress that way.

shortdub78 That was my least favorite part of going to get touch-ups. Knowing she would have something to say about what I was doing when I was on my own

 

[gabulldawg]

I dced, washed, conditioned, blow-dried, and pin-curled my hair. I hope it turns out looking fab!

 

[Philippians413]

No words...no words...

 

[NJoy]

^^^^ 'k. I. just. can't.

 

[msbettyboop]

I went to Carrefour today and asked them for a flat iron with a temperature that goes up to 400. They looked at me like I was insane and said the highest they have is 250....

 

[NJoy]

I need to get a comb attachment for my blowdryer that doesn't fall off. So frustrating. *end of rant*

 

[Caramelangel247]

I want a length check t-shirt but I am too cheap to buy one. . .

pulling out the sharpie and the ruler. . .

 

[tapioca_pudding]

It's pretty much official - my new reggie will consist of Week A & Week B:

Week A - Curlformers/Flexi Rods/Possible braidout
Week B - Flat iron (either tension blowdry or rollerset)

And alternate those. I'm very happy with my growth this past year but I still feel like I'm not retaining like I should, and I think I need to keep my hair stretched 100% of the time. I was doing good w/ keeping it stretched but then I kinda fell off. No bueno.

I ordered the Organical Deep Conditioner that EllePixie raved about on her page. It came in the mail yesterday. My hair is currently flat ironed, so I randomly used it as a moisturizer last night and sealed w/ crisco ( ). Woke up and hair was lovely, soft shiny and moist. And the conditioner didn't make my hair "wet", just soft, so I didn't have reversion. Gonna do an actual DC tomorrow to see what results I get. Oh and I LOVE that it's unscented so I can change what I want my hair to smell like every week by adding fragrance oils I'll just scoop some out in a bowl and add a few drops of whatever fragrance oil I'm in the mood for.

I need to touchup my roots. I have about 3 inches of ash brown hair at the roots and the ends are dark auburn. Everyone loves it and assumes that I'm doing the "ombre" look. Nah dawg, I'm doing the "lazy" look . I think I'm going to go to Aveda this go round to get some color. Treat yoself.

I did a dusting of my ends and I'm still happy with my length. *snap* *flip*
