I saw your pics in the "Struggling with your natural hair" thread. You have a lot of new growth!! Your new growth pics remind me of the hair at my nape and crown.

yay! I am excited. I have been doing the CG method for about a week and so far its turning out great. The curls are still really undefined but I think it might be because I have so much relaxed hair...so at this point the back is curling on itself and the front parts still seem like they are growing straight out into small waves...but not all of the hair clumps together to form a curl it just stays there and is really frizzy. But my hair is making progress!

That's awesome! :yep: I'm glad that you found something that works for your hair! I hope you post pics when you BC :3
 
Chaosbutterfly dooo it :look:

but seriously, why not? give your natural hair a try! :D great news is if you decide that natural hair isn't your cup of tea, you can always go back to relaxing or do something else; it's not a permanent life decision type...thing lol :3 go for it!
 
Fat white girl on bus you may have CL hair, but you have no neck and leggings as pants... Stop swishing your mangy hair, hitting your embarrassed a*s black SO... As he cringes at onlookers... Not winning.

I love this stuff.
 
Having a great hair day!!!
I should wear my hair loose more often. At this point in my transition, I couldn't care less about preserving my relaxed ends..well as long as it doesn't cause any breakage to my natural hair!
 
I want to try the Loreal DIY Ombre kit but im terrified that I will mess it up since my hair is layered.:perplexed

I want ombre hair soo bad but I may have to suck it up and go to a professional to do it.
 
The longer my hair gets, the easier it is to PS. When my hair was shorter, and not as thick, my twist/plaits looked piecey and pathetic up, now they look a whole lot better :yep:. also I don't like hair in my face and i freak out when it gets in my ears :blush:
 
I put my hair back in twists for the first time all year. I forgot how easy it made my life in the mornings!

Why, oh why, did I stop doing this?! :wallbash:

I think daily bunning may have resulted in increased breakage for me :sad:. All that combing and brushing and tugging..worse part is I wasn't even detangling my hair properly :nono:
 
I finally figured out why my relaxed hair/flat ironed natural retained moisture and length and my natural (non-flat ironed) hair didn't. Pressing creme. The oil in it acted as a sealant.

When I washed my hair over the weekend I applied my leave-in on soaking dripping wet hair. And then put a combo of shea, soy, and argan oil as a sealant. My hair is moist and it has sheen.

So, over this past year I learned...

-my hair and scalp do much better with sulfate shampoo
-tresemme naturals and hair one will remove any tangle from my hair, no matter how bad
-i wasn't sealing my hair and that's why I was losing moisture by the next day
-taking down my protective style daily and removing loose strands reduces the amount to tangling
-my natural hair flat irons easily if it super moisturized
 
Finally found a large BSS. It's Asian owned though. So..I figure if I buy black made products, it justifies me purchasing from there.
 
Can you do a dc on dirty/dry hair for 30+ minutes then cowash it out? That's how I do all my dc's and so I'm dc'ing often as I'm cooking dinner or other household tasks.

I've been doing this for a while and it saves so much time and detanling is a breeze! i do want to start shampooing again though because i noticed that certain DC give me build up over time. i find this workd best with DCs that get "foamy" after you put them in and add some water.
 
Girl, me too! That's why I just stick to the high bun.

I wish! I can't even do a high bun at my current length. My hair is too short and dense on the sides and in front. I can get a really full puff but not an actual bun (on dry hair). Maybe I should try it while damp.
 
So I heard that you know your hair is moisturized with it feels cool but its not wet...but it Feels just like I blow dried it...light light and wispy. Odd my hair only ever feels like that when i set under a dryer and have it flat ironed at salon..weird.
 
Just passed 3 weeks and I am tired of these braids. I don't think I am going to last 7 weeks. I will take it out weekend of the 15th.
