I need to triimmmm. I think I last trimmed in...October? Late September?

So, I've been using the Vidal Sassoon Moisture Lock shampoo and condish for about a month now. I think it's safe to say that these are my new staples lol. Greeat stuff.

And I have a new staple clarifying 'poo, as well.

I think I'll stock up on some more condish today. I need to pick up some more plastic caps, too.
 
Oh wow, I just checked, I last trimmed in December. Dang! The ends of my hair at my nape feel kinda gross, though. Maybe I need to do a protein treatment...I haven't done that in a while... *scratches chin*

I wanna stretch a lil longer before I trim again...I'll give it a few more weeks.
 
My scalp is doing much better now that I've started using sulfate again, and it's in much better condition. I also discovered sealing. I only had to moisturize once this week and it was only my bun that needed it.
 
There have been quite a few people raving about this. I keep turning my nose up at it because it's African Pride:look:

I feel a weird coating on my hair with. Same coating I feel w/ wave nouveau, motions, & this other natural product. I only used it once. Last night I used it again for a braidout but haven't taken the braids out yet. So I will know for sure if I keep using it. The african pride made me frown up too initially.
 
I really need to just buy those curlformers and give it a go. I haven't seen one application- relaxed, natural, transitioning, etc that did not look beautiful.
 
I am officially in love with pin curls! I love the bouncy look of my hair. My hair is looking so good! This tempts me to use heat on my hair more often. :lol:
 
I hate that B'ham is so friggin behind in...everything.


I want Senegalese twists for the summer but can't find anyone in B'ham who does them. I really don't want to have to drive to Atl get to get them done :ohwell:.

I love pin curls also. After I rollerset, most of the time I pincurl my hair after I take my rollers out. You can do an updo, bun or just let them hang.:yep:
 
My mom looked at my hair tonight and measured that I have about 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 inches of NG (stretched) since my relaxer in Dec...which means I have grown about 2 inches in 2 months (ish the 17th would have been 2 months) and retained between 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 of it (minus the 1/4 dusting trim I did about a week ago. If I grow about 3/4 inches of hair a month in the winter I wonder what that is in the summer?. Hopefully I can continue to retain the length and soon as I get to a good point start working on my edges. Afraid to start to many aspects of my HJ all at one time.

Dear Friend,

I don't flip out over weaves and wigs; I think the curly styles and colors you choose are cute on you. But please stop trying to have me validate your weaves/wigs like it's your natural hair. IT"S NOT!

Everybody knows that mop on top of your head is a weave.

SHEESH~~~~~
 
Also today was the day of snatched edges. I mean women with weaves and braids were literally missing their edges.

I prayed for my hairline.
 
Did a pulled up twist out with Darcy's LTC and Garnier Finishing Paste. Thought I'd hate the paste, but it keeps moisture in really well and really isn't sticky and leaves no buildup.

Leaving the world of Parabens.... This should be easy #not

This product made my braidout look like they were professionally done! It has some serious definition! I now see why its geared towards natural heads. I will continue to use this product for braidouts but not as a moisturizer; its too harsh for my relaxed hair as a moisturizer.
