Wow. I would have paid to see the look on her face.

Ya'll were right. My hair is starting to form curls better now that my hair is getting longer. I washed my hair today and I could have left it exactly like that. I think shingling has been helping to train them to clump together. Super happy about that.

Hi ladies…noob here.
Jeez, I don’t even know where to start! Relaxed my hair for the first time about 4 months ago after doing a HUGE chop 2 years ago. My hair is currently at SL, but before I decided to go on my HHJ I was a major flat iron/heat junkie. My were in terrible condition and I experience hair breakage quite often (like..A LOT). My hair is pretty fine and to me seems like it breaks off more than it actually grows. Like I said, I’ve started co-washing 1x a week, DC’ing 1 or 2x a week, shampoo 1x a week, and moisturize & seal about 6 out of 7 nights (there’s the odd night where I totally forget or feel super lazy). I’m completely at a loss in determining whether my hair is lacking protein or moisture based on the breakage I am experiencing. To me it seems that there’s a whole lot more breakage since I started my journey Cry. I’ve done Aphogee reconstructor twice (1x each week), I even tried doing a black tea rinse, and an ACV rinse. I guess since its the beginning of my journey I don’t really know of any go to products yet and it really sucks not knowing what to do about all this breakage! Like I run my hand through my hair and literally come out with at LEAST 15 broken hairs. EVERY time!
Plz…any advice that anyone has or product suggestions, I’ll take it! I see so many of you ladies with beautiful hair, and although I know its going to take a lot of care and work, I want long beautiful & healthy hair too. I just wish I could find a healthy hair mentor or something to help me along the way

Oh and I relaxed this past Saturday after a 12 week stretch.

i'm at the point where my hair usually maxes out it's neck length now, and my crown and sides will eventually get there, but my nape will never get much longer. it's frustrating but this is the very MOMENT I foresaw that made me join LHCF.

HELP ME LADIES!!

I want my nape to grow finally.

 

[divachyk]

I seriously wish I could stop my hair from tangling so badly so that I can stretch beyond more norm.

I've had some form of twists in my head since August 11th. I am finally feeling the urge to "play" in my hair. Problem is, I'm on a challenge to only wear twists (or braids, or buns) till the end of the year. This is when the rubber meats the pavement and I really need to get creative with my styling to fight the bordem.

Today is my 2nd year hair-anniversary

It is so interesting to see my mom get into hair care hardcore.

Don't get me wrong, my mom was my first hair inspiration. Her hair has always been at least APL. When I was younger, her hair routine was pretty minimal. She would wash and condition her hair, then throw it up into a bun (she had to since she was in the military). She rarely used heat, only wore her hair out for special occasions, and stretched her relaxers out of sheer laziness. Yes, she was my first example of the benefits of protective styling and relaxer stretching.

Now, she is more interested in wigs (which I introduced her to), properly straightening her hair (when I was home, she asked me how to get her hair super straight...she also did a YT search on it), and she takes note of what products I use (however, she does take note to make adjustments since her hair is fine and not coarse like mine).

It's just so cool to see. It makes me smile.

I raised a daughter while on these boards. When I first got here she was still in early grade school. I went IN on our hair care. She had one of the prettiest healthiest heads of hair in school and it was growing long and fast. THEN she reached that "mommy I wanna do my own hair" stage....at that point it started getting shorter, with dry split ends. But she was getting into her teens and I let her do her. NOW at 22 she is back into hair care and all she learned from me from these boards. Her hair is almost waist length and full from root to tip. I am so amazed at her journey past fool's hill and back
Anyone else raised up a daughter with LHCF hair?

Trimming my hair became unnecessary cutting. I cant seem to leave the scissors alone. I'm addicted to them. Oh well, at least I love my ends

 

[so1913]

Tons of compliments this week after my hair cut last Friday I'm very happy with the health and condition of my hair.

 

[Napp]

I'm not sure if I am missing my relaxed hair or am I just missing the length

 

[Lissa0821]

Need to start trimming my ends on a regular basis, whether I like it or not. I might even start protective styling also.

Things kind of get boring when you're: 1) not buying products 2) not experimenting excessively 3) have a set regi.

Agree on the not buying products and experimenting. Although lately I ve been enjoying using only my staples products. No surprises, no fuss, no miss.
I used to get excited about new products, but now I am afraid to cause a setback that did not have to happen.

 

[Ogoma]

Agree on the excitement on buying new products. But, there is something about knowing what you use will work come rain or shine.

I need to take a hair/skin care/make-up break. I need to get back into my books.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

My head itches so bad. Its just as dry as can be. Tonight I'm going to steam this crochet mess on my head after I oil my scalp. That way hopefully the oil seeps in.

 

[YaniraNaturally]

DC'ing under my bootleg heat cap aka heating pad. Lol my brother came in and was like are you serious?

I don't care . My hair is feeling right and I'm watching my SVU marathon!

 

[Lilmama1011]

i can't be light handed on products to save my life. i had a rollerset and wrapped it and hair was fabulous the first day but and now it has lost its bend and i have moisturized lightly and sealed smh

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

Its homecoming where I live and the only thing I'm worried about is the braid-out I want to do. SMH I need to go sit in a University parking lot, eat some BBQ and chair twerk, but hair comes first. #Priorities

 

[Fab79]

Fresh and clean hair I love it. I'm thinking of wearing half wigs for a few more weeks but don't know whether to full wig or weave next

 

[ckisland]

I feel you. This shrinkage is the main reason I was considering relaxing again. But if it comes to that, my hair and the flatiron are going to be getting acquainted first .

 

[SlimPickinz]

It's time for me to hang up my flat iron for a while. My hair has been shedding like crazy so I know I need to do more deep treatments I hate ponytails. I always wear my glasses when my hair is up. It takes the focus away from my 5head

Especially when you have a blog and really have nothing to report.

If you aren't buying product= no product reviews

If you aren't experimenting= I'm not gonna post 500 pics of my basic bun

Set reggie= Really boring wash days

Yeah that's why a lot of youtubers don't post as much because they say you already know my regimen so what is there to report

D/C for 30 min last night with NTM DC mixed with EVOO. My hair is so soft.

 

[shasha8685]

--Trying this cross wrapping thing again. Here's hoping it's not a complete and utter fail.

--When you stretch, you don't see your shed hair until you detangle during wash day. When you are freshly relaxed, you see shed hair every time you touch your hair.

Both are equally sucky.

I do the cross wrap on a fresh relaxer as well. I love it better than the old fashion way & all the excessive breakage. My hair be laaaaiid!!
