Happy Friday ladies!!! Any hair plans this weekend???

Question of the day: With the summer coming to an end in the next few weeks (technically end even though I know this heat is gonna last for a HELLUVA long time), what summer products are you going to shelf during the fall and winter? Are there any products that you only use certain times of the year?

Happy Friday @NikkiQ and Ladies! TGIF!

I have new employees to train and my hours are becoming late more and more everyday . Best time to recoup is on Weekends once Friday comes to a close!!! Cheers to that!

I've just updated my reggie to shelf WGHO and will keep AM workouts with hairdrier rollersets into the Fall

I'm going to try to dc this weekend. I tried a twist out and as usual, I didn't like it so I'm going back to WnGs.

In the winter I try to use a heavier leave in like giovanni's because the heat in the house dries my hair pretty badly. Other than that I think I'm going to stick with my staples. I'm in GA though so it won't be cool here until December (if at all lol).

@NikkiQ Prepoo-Reconstructor-DC-rollerset, this keeps the knots and tangles at bay

TheNDofUO I like your plan!! How often will you touch up?? Im the opposite ORS bonelaxes my hair so im looking for a milder relaxer to texlax with atm

@livinthevida whoa look at those curls and I do see the thickness!!

 

[Seamonster]

I shelf my peppermint essential oil in the winter, and use more red pepper. I reduce my onion mask in the winter, and I am hoping to have enough hair to bun. This summer it is all about the twist. I also might reduce my trims to every 6 weeks in the winter versus every 4 weeks right now.

Mini braids in progress!!!

 

[Guinan]

I decided not to do the aphogee 2-step and I will just stick w/ the joico k-p reconstructor until that runs out.

I found out that the hair dresser that I had been going to was sued for the same thing that she did to me; burning scalp, except this girl had like 3rd degree burns on her face, back and ears. She won 5 grand. Apparently my hairdresser doesn't base the scalp. I thought she had but she most not of.

 

[jprayze]

First pic of mini braids...got then done at a braid shop. Not really comfortable wearing them down...my hair is not a thick density so the parts have to be rather large to get enough hair for a braid. Will post again after I style

Fyne 16 weeks. This last stretch went up to 23 out of pure laziness. But the amount I had to detangle before relaxing was mad. I could have BC'd with the amount of new growth I had and it matted up. As i was combing I was saying "Never again"

^^^They're so cute jprayze!! Ponytails and buns are what I'm thinking. lamaria211 what did you do with yours when they weren't under wigs?

 

[hairqueen7]

Since this will be the first fall and full winter of me have my routine down to a tea, I'm just gonna focus on using up my stash so by next year I can buy new delicious products, and for fall n winter I will just asses what my hair feels like and needs in these upcoming seasons

I tried to do a twist-n-curl however it was an epic fail and by the time I stopped trying to "fix" my hair it was just one huge semi-curly fro; which isn't a bad do just wasn't the super defined rollerset curls I was going for, ah well nothing I could but rock it so I threw on a tribal maxi dress and just got into it haha

Full day of running errands today so it's gonna be a wig kind of day. Time to moisturize again. I really liked the SM yucca and aloe milk, but I may try something else today.

 

[jprayze]

Pics of my minis today. I'm getting used to them...Pulled the front up a little.

In other news, I'm having an allergic reaction on my face and since I'm not using anything new on my face, even took a break from my usual makeup, i am looking at one of my hair products as the culprit. The newest item is the Hair trigger growth elixir so I'm taking a 2 wk break to see if this reaction clears up.

 

[Onhergrind09]

So I have a wedding to go to in a few hours and I had planned to do my hair myself, however since I'm trying to fit 48 hours worth of errands into a 24 hour day, I caved in and went to a Dominican salon to get my hair done, and while I'm.here I figured I might as well get a trim as was suggested by my hair analysis. I'm under the dryer now, I'll post pics after I'm done.

I wish I had the patience. It looks nice and you have a break from your hair for awhile.

Thanks! I sooo needed a break!

 

[NikkiQ]

Just got back from running around everywhere. Hair is still soft and moisturized after being under a wig all day.

PS-I bought a red box dye. I'm doing it some time in the next few weeks. Can't wait til I get home lol
