I am like sooo in love!! before I started using my scurl to moisturize my twists(under my wig) they would be so dry and rough feeling when I took them down.....I have been using my scurl for about a week...and some days I skip using it. Took my twists down and my hair was so moisturized and soft....O Scurl...will u marry my...lol
 
I got a perm yesterday and I told m hairdresser I don't want a trim and to not perm my edges. I was very proud of myself for speaking up lol. I'm learning not to be timid with my hair demands.
 
I hate living in the ghetto. I keep seeing sleep caps worn as berets and turban style weaves (you know, when they just wrap the tracks around their head and pretend like nobody can see it).

I went to Sharks the other day, and this young black girl had on a bright purple sleep cap instead of a hair net.:nono:
 
Random thought....I was lurking through the hair threads checking out some super long haired ladies and I realized that I don't like long hair that is not bluntly cut. *shrugs* The longer it gets, no matter how healthy your ends are, I just can't stand the various strand lengths on hair that is longer than WL. To me it should be tamed because it's so long. Long hair can make a person look dirty if it's not done right. Just my personal opinion....carry on.

True, when my hair isn't even I feel it looks unhealthy, but with years of evening back out again, I have been stuck at the same length so I need to get over this and retain some length and when it gets a certain length than do a blunt cut
 
Tired of doing curls and it last one or two day and I don't want to lay on my face and pineapple doesn't do nothing to keep my curls, thinking about doing a bootleg bun and wearing it everyday since I still can't do a darn bun :(
 
A friend is trying to transition from relaxed to natural for second time within 15 months. She always starts with a dye job and a haircut with full crown, closely cropped sides and nape.

I don't have much advice because I am not dealing with two textures plus dye job. Each time I see her she has clipped more of the sides and nape because she is not pleased with the texture of new growth. Every one's hair is slicker when its a fraction of an inch long. She refuses to wash her hair more than once per week.

She thinks it is important to use a single product line. I don't use a single product line and she finds this hard to believe. I use what works for me.

I told her about LHCF last year and that the Queens of Transitioning are present on this site. LHCF is a PJ's dream for product reviews, recipes, etc.

I think she has to get used to how her natural hair feels and looks before she can accept it.

Thanks for letting me :deadhorse:
 
the first day of my wash and go usually sucks. As I keep refreshing (aloe/glycerin spray) and the steam from the shower works my hair, it looks better and better and gets curlier and shinier. This may work as a protective style. I'm going on day 5.
 
So far I've been sticking with the no heat regimen for about two weeks now. So far so good. If I can perfect this rollerset I'll be alright! I'm going to take the suggestion of finding a creamy leave in tomorrow and I will try it again tomorrow night.
 
Omg! Good hair day for me!

Today I went and got a Deva-style trim. I still had some relaxed ends from when I chopped last week, and they were messing up my flow. I asked my stylist to go a little higher so that I could have fresh, natural ends. They look so good all fresh and blunt! And as the stylist was cutting it, my curls just started popping even more!!

Then when I was walking out, the wind was all blowing. And my curls were just feeling themselves and bouncing around.... Then this man (not my type :look:) passed me and said, "You look very lovely today," and I was like,

THEN, I was at the store and a lady came up to me and said something. I didn't hear her, so I said, "Excuse me?" And she said, "Is that your hair?" I replied, "Yes." And she said, "Oh, it's very pretty." And then I was like, Oh heeeeeck yeah! Getting weave checked. Me and my lil seven inches of hair. Uh!

ScorpioBeauty09 How did you go about doing that? I have mini twists right now and I feel like i'm always touching my scalp cuz it's kinda itchy :ohwell:

-PYT I have cornrows and I just took some moisturizer and spread it with my fingers along my braids where I could. It felt good afterwards but it's very tedious and takes about 10 minutes which is too long compared to when my hair is straight.:ohwell::nono:

I did a quick check when i hopped out the shower yesterday. :-) i's excited! I hope to be scraping MBL by the end of the year. My shrinkage is kinda crazy but I've seen waaay more amazing shrinkage here!

How exactly are people able to put their hands behind their backs and pull hair to view their length?!? I've tried to do it several times and I nearly dislocated my shoulder! I've been natural for over a year and still can't get a proper length check :(

I often find myself thinking how much simpler relaxed hair would be right now...but then the thought of new growth stops that thought process immediately...
