I have the exact same issues so much so that I keep trimming my hair from APL back to SL to hide the difference in hair length. I have to be miliant about keeping this area moisturized at all time. I have seen some improvement, but I have a long way to go.
 
I was watching "True Life" yesterday. Don't judge me. And this white woman who hated her hair and always wore wigs to hide it decided to get a weave. And the stylist(white) told her it would be good for her hair because the cornrows would pull at her scalp causing the hair to grow. What are they teaching in beauty school?
 
It has been a long time since I did a braid out . I did one last night and I am impressed! This might be add to my winter no heat regiment. : )

^^^Same here guys. @Lissa0821 @DarkJoy @IronButterfly I really have to watch that area for demarcation breakage. And yep that was the main reason why I would cut my hair, to catch up w/ breakage. Lately I've been paying attention to it and it's been good to me.

Yep. After this last BC in July, I'm finding that I have to almost DOUBLE the product in the crown to keep it 'alive'. Ugh!

Yes, I have the same issue I have to watch this area like a hawk and yes, I used much more product in this area.

I use to get so discouraged at times because I have been on this forum forever but never got past APL.
 
I am doing a wash-and-set tonight after my workout. I am excited because my conditioner will get heated up as I workout, LOL! I'm winning.
 
I really, really like Donna Marie SuperButtercreme.

However, I have the one in the old packaging.

Can someone tell me if there has been a formula change between the old and new packaging?
 
I think I'm going to trim a couple inches off next month when i get my touch up. I hate to do it, but I'm sick of my ends. Everyone says there is nothing wrong with them, but they don't feel that great to me. It's just hair, it'll grow back I guess. :ohwell:

I refuse to trim my other hair to keep up. I just stretch the crown as much as I can. Otherwise my hair looks like...a spaceship!:lachen:
 
I can't believe how much tea rinsing has slowed down my shedding. It's really amazing to to me.
I cannot wait to dye my hair jet black.
 
When I wear my hair out, my left side looks fuller than the right side. I thought it was because I cut that huge knot out of my right side before I BC'd but, it seems I have a different textures on both sides. I think my right side just shrinks up tighter than the left side. Sheesh. Am I destined to be a lopsided natural?

Ah well. Gonna wash and DC tonight. I'll let me hair do what it wants...for now. :grin:
 
My hair still smells so cute! Like fruity, yummy candy! That's the only thing feelin good right now, because I AM SO COLD!! :nono:

Yes, but it's only temporary.
My hair's doing that right now because my natural curls are passing a milestone shoulder length, when it's in a growing phase one side grows 1/2-1inch longer than the other side, but the good news is the shorter side always catches up.
I also have to stretch the shorter side once it's dry to make things look even, it's no big deal.
 
So, I was playing in my hair before hopping in the shower tonight. Care to see some pics? :spinning:

I'm going to make whipped shea butter next month. I saw directions on how to make it and it's looks quite easy. I want to use hempseed oil as it's mix so I can still use my ceramides.
But I wonder if people use coconut oil because it makes the mix last longer?
 
I think I'll throw away my scissors.... ALL 6 or so of them....hiding them from myself doesn't work.....I'm way too obsessed with even hair........

@Kimlyb
I am no expert and have been at this for only a short while, but I'll try to offer suggestions. I am practically APL, but I am not claiming it until the end of the year. As my hair crept past SL, I stopped putting shampoo or any cleansing product on my ends as I noticed they felt much drier than the rest of my hair after cleansing. I slather conditioner on the ends after put the cleansing product at the roots and my scalp. I also started using butters at my very ends instead of oils. I rarely get SSK and my ends stay nice and supple.
