The box braids will be back next week. I miss them...plus it's starting to heat up and I can't deal with all this curly hair on my neck and in my face. Plus I'm noticing my hair thrives in braids and Kinky twists.

@Naijia24 I remember your bc photo, which I'm sure is a lot shorter than your hair now, and you DEF looked feminine. I know people put a lot of value in long hair, but IMO it doesn't really add much or take away from ones beauty. If you have a pretty face, you have a pretty face...no matter how much hair you have.

Rock your short hair with confidence! Put on some earrings, maybe dabble with a bit of make-up and wear a few hair accessories if you want to look more feminine.

MsDee14, Thanks. I'm not an earring person so I have to remind myself to do that haha!! Idk why I cut my hair and I'm not a high maintanance person at all. I mostly feel unfeminine because my bf loves long hair. i mean loves it. he looks at me different (not on purpose) when my hair isn't kept.

So I don't mind having shorter styles, but I want feminine ones, which I find harder to do at home. :(
 
I haven't texlaxed since October and I'm not sure I'm going back to a texlax. I mean I don't see the benefit right now since I've learned to manage the natural hair texture better and straighten it and keep it straight.

I just put Henna in my hair last night, followed by Indigo. My few gray strands turned red and stayed that way. I thought the Indigo was going to turn them black, but so far, NOPE. This is my second try. It looks like I have red highlights in a few places. It doesn't look bad, but I wanted black hair all in.

I'm wearing a twist out after two weeks with straight hair. It's a shock. My BSL hair is about nape length in a twist out. So I have to boost my confidence and rock it with flavor. It's a little frizzy, otherwise I would love the dark black color and shiny look.
 
Its been a few weeks since I last rollerset, been doing light blowdries using the tension method. Ive been shying away because of the hot air on my ears under the dryer and the clips I currently use annoy me. So got some ear protectors and new roller clips on ebay will def be doing a set once they arrive.
 
Was getting sick of these braids until I threw on a headband..now I'm back in love with them.
I have over 100 scarves, headwraps and headbands that I NEVER wear. I'm making it a goal to wear at least 2 a week.
 
welp, i have three scalp burns on the back of my head right now :( completely upset by this set back. fortunately, despite all this crap on my head, i dont' have any damage that I can see. Maybe I need a trim but that's it.

I've already decided that for the rest of this year, I dont' care about all these SL, NL challenges as much anymore. I just want to get rid of this pixie cut. probably the worst hair decision ever. growing it out is horrible.

I also have been completely turned off by relaxers again now.

I thought in another thread I told you if you irritated your scalp (scratching scalp on your wash day) that you were going to get sores in your head when you relaxed?! *SPANK*

I tell people don't blame the relaxer, blame your process. *SPANK*
 
Damn, just got spanked in a forum! :O

Well, I definitely learned my lesson. I thought it was from her not basing my scalp enough.
 
pre_medicalrulz, how long should one wait between washing and relaxing? I washed my hair Sunday and thinking about relaxing next Saturday...maybe I should wait an add'l week? TIA

The previous poster had asked if she could get her relaxer the day after a wash day. I was telling her that I have done it plenty of times before as long as I DIDNT scratch up the scalp. I simply washed the hair, not the scalp & I was fine.

But I didn't wash my scalp and I still got burns!!

I'm sure you had irritated your scalp one way or the other because that is usually how a scalp is burned. Unless something else was going on that I never heard of. Did she leave it on longer than usual? Do you usually get relaxers or you just started? Put vasaline on your sores if you have some as well.
 
I bought some JBCO today, so I'll be using that mixture the next two weeks since I'm relaxing Saturday. Then, I'll be alternating between that and my tea tree/MN mix daily. Let's see how this goes!
 
While detangling the other day,I noticed my shed hair had LOTS of SSKs and I am not happy about it! Never really had this problem before and I have no clue what to do :whyme:

Sent from my Android...Boom.
 
i have been oiling my hair for the past two days. i haven't moisturized. i remember i never used moisturized and would oil my hair all of the time. it seemed to work and my hair liked it. it's gotta be a light oil though.

I could have written this verbatim myself, except my last relaxer was in December. I had to pull out my calendar to count how many weeks post I am, which is 16. I have never stretched this long in my life. I will continue to stretch for now while keeping my gels handy.

Me too. I've also never stretched this long either!!! Looking forward to seeing the length I gained when I relax! :grin:
 
I am wondering if I'll finally need to trust someone to trim/dust my hair. I can still do my fringe/bangs and usually do the rest myself too but I'm hesitant for some reason. I'm two weeks post relaxer and need to trim as I didn't after the previous relaxer and my ends are looking straggly. I think I'll attempt it but God forbid I mess up my new length.. :spinning:
 
Lol found shed hair that knotted itself around strands of my hair. So I took work scissors out of frustration & handled it. smh From now on, the wig stays on daily. smh

Better you than some scissor happy stylist.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
I really wanted to try the Komaza aloe line and Califia spray but leaving conditioner in my hair makes it soft for days..... Perhaps I shouldn't even bother.
 
I wish there were more t shirts for those of us with curly hair. I always see shirts with afros, although i adore fros, my hair doesn't "fro"

I feel excluded :(
