SmilingElephant Right and all the extra explaining. Naw. Anytime I need to share a style or technique I wanna try out I'll just come here. Plus since my hair is short ppl are probably like wtf are u doing and talking about. So Imma chill and just wait til I make some more progress in my journey and folks be like...well, I guess still like "wtf are you doing" lol but in a different way
 
The smell of these Aubrey Organics conditioners can knock a person down. I was in the elevator with about 6 other people and the only smell wafting through was the GBP. I love these conditioners, but I can't take strong smells after a while.
 
It's gone be so sick if I can get my hair to be in a shape and style even w/ daily washing. The back and front curl beautifully. It's the sides and finding how to really make it look like something after I've air-dried it overnight :lol: Since my edges are tryna do something though I think I have a look a I can get away with. I'll try tomorrow.
 
btw I have always been in love w/ this style...can't wait til I can do it. I'm thinking maybe in a couple of months

And I love Chrissy's hair.

I'm actually tryna get to wear I can wear my hair shaped like that w/o a headband. I just have to figure out what to do w/ my sides :scratchch I'm thinking if I lay more of the hair in the front down after I rollerset (so leave a bit more of my edges out). Then in the morning I can just tie the sides down a bit more w/ a scarf. And then the front, the very first row I can't use a roller cap. Eh....I'll see. I've done it before way back before my edges and bone straight setbacks but I think I still had to put some heat on the front to smooth it out a bit. Okay. end ramble.
 
I also love Nubian Heritage products I have both treatment masques the EVOO Moringo line and the Indian Hemp & Tamanu one, I also have a custard and the hair butter they smell heavenly:)
 
Earlier today I was feeling a little bummed that I hadn't taken many pictures during my two year transition. At this point I had about 50, (for comparison I take about 500-600 pictures a year for memories) so I decided to finally organize my Picasa in the hopes of finding a handful of misplaced pictures.

In the end I found that I actually have about 300 pictures :lol:

Could we please have details or photos?

@jbwphoto1, sure. I washed and DCd with a mix I mentioned earlier on in this thread then when most of the water was soaked up into the towel, I sectioned my hair. Before I twisted each section, I added on coconut oil, then shea butter/crisco (shea butter on half, crisco on half just to see which one worked better. Crisco worked better).

After I finished twisting, I took three of the twists and twisted it into each other then banded the section. When my hair was dry the next day and I took out the bands and untwisted, I had completely stretched out hair with no SSKs. I wore it in a bun most of the week and everynight, I rewet slightly, applied oil and crisco and put back into a bun. I put pictures up in this thread - http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showpost.php?p=16004307&postcount=4134.

I did a twist out with a small section in front with castor oil, grapeseed oil and crisco last night and I had great definition this morning. I'm going to do the same with my entire head of hair this weekend. I hope it'll come out just as great. I'll come back with pictures if it does! :)

Sorry if my story was too long!:grin:
 
The Indians in my office recommend straight hair because it seems that's the definition of beautiful hair to them. Today, a Chinese colleague with stick straight hair kept staring at my little twist out in front and finally asked me if I did it with a crimping machine. I told her how I did it and she was like :sad: "Only oil and water! I wish I could do that with my hair. You're so lucky." Interesting perspectives!
 
I think I'm going to get my hands on some organix moroccan curling perfection defining cream for my wash n gos. :yep: Now I have to see where I can find it (besides online). Anyone know??

Ogoma I feel the same way!!!
 
Thank god for my demand brush because combing my curly and kinky ends is a joke these days
 
Had to have my blood rechecked. Doctor says my vitamin D level is crazy low. Says this may be why I've been so fatigued lately. So now I wait for verification and a prescription for high dose vitamin D. Off to find that thread on low vitamin D levels.
 
My hair needs to be cowashed but I can't be bothered. I'm scared what my hair will look like cowashed as relaxed head.
 
I knew it! Something told me my hair was longer than it looked. :lol: Not sure what it was, but my hair has fallen a bit and i'm definitely at apl. Wonder what that was about? Will update avi tomorrow...
 
Sigh....i am becoming obsessive with my ends...they look so thin & see through to me...i show pix and people look @ me like im crazy smh....time to hide my,hair under a wig for a while...
 
I can't begin to tell y'all how long I've had hair anorexia....but I can finally see that my hair is growing! I refuse to do a length check though, I figure that's the only way I'll be able to continue with my recovery.

I don't think I'll get over my hairnorexia till I'm at least BSL....possibly MBL. My hair always feels super thin to me, like I'm still bald from the postpartum shedding. :nono:
 
I'm enjoying these senegalese twist!! It's been a week so far I've gotten so many compliments. I tried the African Pride braid spray I like it but its sticky, so I broke out my bottle and made my own spray what a difference! It soothed my scalp so well. I mix Water/DB Daily Leave In Pumpkin Spice/Aloe Vera Juice/Grapeseed Oil/Peppermint Oil/Tea Tree Oil. I made my own mix of oils for my scalp too Grapeseed Oil/ Tea Tree Oil/Peppermint Oil/Rosemary Oil. I put that on last night my scalp instantly felt so much better.

GoddessMaker Yes I co wash daily:yep: Initially when I started I thought it wasn't for me but I came back to it a few times and got the hang of it now...I can't see me not cowashing on a regular basis..
 
Don't know what to do with my hair. Going out of town tonight & wanted to get a rollerset or twistout to last through the weekend but the weather is so crappy here I don't even know if it'll last to the airport. :( I wanted to be all cute walking off the plane. Lol
 
I need to cornrow this hair as flat as possible for a costume appearance tomorrow, becaue it needs to fit under a wig AND a cowl with no wiggle room whatsoever. But I have a date tonight and last time he was raving about how lovely my hair was (it was in a big puff :blush3: ). Sorry dude! I don't think I'll have time to braid it after the date, so I'm just going to have a nice hat on :sad:
