Thinking about going natural but I will be the world's longest transitioner ever in life. I have had hair as short as Halle Berry's and not trying to have it like, ever again. I hate the maintenance that short hair takes. It really takes more maintenance when I had it short, than now a bit longer.
 
Other people are noticing that my TWA is growing :grin: ... Now they want me to get a bald fade :nono: lol...dont they know I want booty lenth hair :lachen:
 
Women of other ethnicity’s, their hair falls by nature. It drops, and drapes, and hangs loosely. But a Black woman’s hair rises by nature. It blossoms against the current of life. At its best, it swirls and spins like the earth, or the sun – a supernova of sublimity and strength. And like any other heavenly body, a Black woman’s natural hair demands nothing less than orbit: total praise from every physical thing within her influence, all revolving around her omnipotence – instinctively, humbly, and altogether. Whether dynamically drifting, or stationary and rooted, every living thing that finds itself before a Black woman’s natural hair is designed to stare and wonder.
 
I really want to learn to blow dry my hair straight. I know it can be done because I've had it done at the salon, but the round brush she used gave me split ends. My new plan is to blow dry with my comb attachment on cool, then go back over it with the dryer and a paddle brush. I really want the MP, but I'll probably settle for a Denman. I can't test my theory bc I just finished braiding my hair, but I'll try it out when I take them down. If anyone has any advice I'm all ears :)

it's so weird how I'm feeling unaccustomed to wearing my hair out in natural styles, i've gotten so used to the bunning.
doing a potential braidout for tomorrow, and I'm kinda wary as to how it'll turn out....lately my natural "out" styles have been looking a H.A.M. and are a waste of time because of humidity.
 
I am starting a hair inspiration folder as well. I have been searching for styles so I will have plenty of options.

Same here. I've been wearing twists under my beanie. Humidity is just too much.
 
True! The longer my hair gets and the more I learn how to take care of it the less I have to do to it:) ive tried sooo many things and the less I do the better. A weekly wash abd (with cleansing condish) DC, a weekly cowash (which I dont think I need) and daily M&S my hair is the healthiest its ever been and retaining nicely:)

Yea so as predicted that turned out a ham! I been having nothing but sketchy hair days since buying shea moisture curl smoothie. All it does is coat my hair and encourage it to suck all the moisture out of the air and get poofy which is cute but annoying when ive spent time prepping for a style.
 
Rocky91 Shea Moisture was sooo hyped up. I don't like any of their products except for that moisture retention shampoo :nono:

Looking at Naptural85's vids.....she never straightens, her hair is crazy long/thick, she only trims like every 8-9 months...and her hair looks healthier than ever! I pay soooo much attention to ssks, splits, and rough ends, but do they even really matter on curly hair? I am still sticking to trimming every 8 wks, but maybe I'll just stop being so vigilant and let my hair be. No straightening or anything. Idk, hell.
 
I'm going to experiment with using just one line on my hair...

I have soooo many lines to try though. But I am going to wait until I'm done with the Use Your Stash challenge...

You know if I quote this, some people are going to start looking for it in the Bible - like I did - but it's your username :look:

Heh heh :lol:
 
-PYT I don't bother myself about SSKs too much either. I think it's a feature of my tightly curled hair. I do trim every 8-10 weeks....but I'm not about S&D and all that.

yes girl, all i like is the good smells but other than that, that joint doesn't do much at all. so not worth it.
i'm thinking i may have to end my aversion to shopping online if i am to get serious about getting into all natural hair/body products, because there really ain't much in brick and mortar stores. :nono:
 
Asking my LHCF hair family to send well wishes and prayers my way as I walk the plank to a major haircut tomorrow...

I found holes in several of my strands :nono: Darn bleach and permanent color...I'm too lazy for that type of stuff..

On another note, can't wait to use up my current products so I can really nail down some staples. I also want to see if the CG method will work for me to control some of my frizzy/moisture retention issues.
 
Hi ladies I'm new to the forum and I love this thread I think its time to stop lurking.
I'm 3" away from apl and I just love my ng I didn't know my hair can feel like this ,I thought I had that nappy ish lol
 
Hi all I'm also new :)

I'm so glad I finally bit the bullet and re-wet my hair to re-vive my 2nd day curls since my previous regimen wasn't cutting it anymore. I hate air drying but refuse to constantly diffuse it, it was soooo worth the results!

And my drying time was somehow cut in half (it's usually 5 hrs) :yep:
