I'll be wearing these twists for about 2.5-3 weeks:

After that, I'm not sure. I planned to put in some mini braids. That may still happen.
 
Touching up tonight, so I'll finally take my starting pic. It's been ages since I posted a hair pic, I'm nervous, lol. Hopefully, I'll be APL.

Also, I finally re-upped on my Wen and got the auto-shipment. I'm going back to my old reggie of Aphogee 2 min, Wen, and whatever DC. My hair thrived with that, don't know why I stopped. :ohwell:
 
BraunSugar, I love your twist. I wish I could wear twist that small. The few times I've tried my ends knotted when taken them down. My question is do you have that issue?
 
Put the hair in 6 braids yesterday so it can finish drying and stretch out a bit more. Gonna take each braid down and split into smaller braids. They won't be BraunSugar small,but they'll be smaller than they are :lol:

How often do you use the Aphogee 2min? I just T/U & I was trying to figure out if I should do the 2step or the 2min protein after relaxing. I used Lye btw.

pelohello, I used to use it whenever I wet my hair, so that's twice a week in the summer and about once a week in the winter. Wen is super-moisturizing though, so I called myself trynna counteract that. I have fine hair, though, so my hair loves protein.

Re TU: I actually put the aphogee 2 min in the relaxer (instead of evoo), so I don't fell the need to use it as a midstep. I use duotex for the low ph.
 
Checking in: Still have my kinky twists in and redid the front last night after a wash with my shampoo, ppo and rosemary mix and dc with AO HSR. I'm giving MN a go mixed in with my sulfur mix. Still waiting for my product...looks like I won't be relaxing till the first week of Feb.
 
i know it's early, but i am considering yarn braids in March. does anyone know if they are good on your strands? do they dry your hair out, or cause split ends/breakage?
 
I been bunning for the past week. Ill continue to do so until I have major new growth. Got a perm last month and my hair is still soft. I m/s because my hair get really dry fast. I have coarse hair. I try not too protein that much. Going to d/c when I get home and do a bun when its done drying.

No I don't. I seal my ends heavy with either castor oil or crisco. That seems to keep the moisture sealed in well and prevents knotting.

I luv it!:drunk: I really like the color and how small they are. Is that w/o added hair?
Click to expand...

Yes this is just my hair. I have no idea how to add in extra hair to twist LOL
 
I'm considering buying a couple phony ponies to make bunning more interesting. I won't bother buying any straight ones. I might get a short kinky one and a longer tightly curled one. Im just afraid of them being too shiney
 
I should've started braiding or twisting my hair today,but I got caught up making new bracelets for my store. Tomorrow will be the day. I'm determined!

Sent from my Android...Boom.
 
Picked up my bottle of MTG for the 1st time in 5 months, smh. I stopped using it cuz the bf hates the smell (as do I) but were just gonna have to deal! Lol. Goin back to applications at least 3x a week.
 
I still have this conditioner mix in my hair and it feels AWESOME...I'm still under the wig and I'm going to keep it that way until I twist. I'm on the fence about paying someone $100+ to do it when at this point in my HHJ, if I stretch my hair properly, my own twists will hang pretty cool and I get so many compliments when I wear my mini twists that I think this upcoming Saturday or Sunday, I am just going to twist it up myself and keep those in for around 4-6 weeks.

BraunSugar you make me miss my mini twists, yours are gorgeous and I love that color

peloHelo I meant to comment earlier on that great progress! I think our APL's and BSL's are at the same place, how tall are you? (I'm 5'7"ish)

NikkiQ I will be in San Juan, very touristy trip with 2 mates who have never been before!

I am also itching to straighten and length check, even though I already know how long my hair is...SMH at myself!
 
DCing tomorrow on dry hair, not sure what I'm using yet. Its out of: Darcy's Pumpkin condish, CON Argan oil DC, or KeraCare humecto.
 
I FINALLY washed my hair! Geesh!
Blowdried and braided it up for the night.
I need to look at more up braided styles. I want to wear my hair up for a while. I keep having the need to "show my length" even though my length is NOT very impressive.

A friend at the gym offered me her gallon of Wen Pomegranate. She paid 175 for it and says she barely used it. Dang... I don't know how much I'm willing to pay her for it though.
 
Forcing myself to wash my hair tomorrow... I've been procrastinating only because I don't want to flat iron my hair but I have no choice... I need a trim. Ugh... here it goes. If it turns out decent I will post photos over the weekend.
 
Out of boredom from being home all day tomorrow I'll probably do a dc. I picked up a little sample size of nexxus humectress conditioner and Im gonna try that out

Check in: wore my hair in a claw clip today (I guess that's what it's called lol). Oiled scalp with castor/mn/rosemary mix and pineappled under a scarf for the night. Still daily cowashing.
 
itsjusthair88, thanks! I'm barely 5'2, but I'm more back then legs (if that makes sense).

growbaby, is your youtube page up yet? :)

Morning ladies!!

I'm still wearing my hair straight. I've been only moisturizing when needed, so that I don't weigh down my hair down. However, I do apply chi silk fusion oil everyday. I need to buy a new moisturizer. I'm currently using mizani h20 hairdressing creme but its alittle too heavy. If I have the time & money, I plan on restocking my staples: WGHO, elasta mango butter & scurl.

Happy growing ladies! :)

Co-washed with Nourish Spa, applied a little Aussie Moist as a leave-in, sealed with castor oil and put my single braid of twists right back in last night so I could wear my wig today. I need to invest in more wigs cause this a pretty good ps.
