Cringing as I watch Tauren916 new hair series this time she has a stylist on there detangling a woman's kinky hair DRY with a PADDLE BRUSH I want to scream smmfh I can hear the hair being ripped through

I missed the Pampered Tendrils sale by a few minutes. Oh well, I didn't need anything but it would have been nice to get a package this week.
 
Hmmmm... I think I am going to put myself on a three month no heat challenge, and just do braid outs and buns like when i was relaxed. It's starting to get too hot for the flat iron, and hopefully this will help me to get to bra strap length by the end of summer. I'm just wondering is it necessary to have to do the pineapple method every night? Back when I had a relaxer I just rebraided every night, and either wore it out or bunned it. Now I want to wash my hair again after doing all this hard work Saturday.... ok im rambling...

Finally got an outré tammy half wig in #2 for protective styling! My hair naturally has color 4 highlights so I need to grab some indigo and dye it darker. Other than that it was really easy to blend with flat ironed hair. Hopefully it also blends well with my braid out.
 
Bleached my hair and dyed it red. Yep. No texture change, no breakage, no dryness. So far so good. I’m taking better care of it as well
 
It is time for my hard core protein treatment this week and I am looking forward to it. I also plan on using Shea Moisture products to wash and condition my hair for the next 12 weeks. I will alternate between the Shea Butter line and the Yucca line.
 
I thought my slept-on braid out looked good enough to be a pinned up style today.... as the day goes on, I'm seeing just how wrong I was. :lol: I look a hot *** mess... :nono: Like I gave no ****s and just came to work. Ah well, win some lose some.
 
thinking of doing a cowashing and bunning challenge for the summer....would anyone participate or nah? is that still a thing or am i stuck in 2009 :lol:

I'd join. In fact, another member and I were messaging each other about one. Go ahead and start.
 
It's good to have someone more sane than you lol. I had almost had a break down about my hair because I had it in fours and the left back part was a lot thicker than the right and I'm like all my hard work. But then SO was like you parted your hair uneven. "You started way up here and way down here over here" I was like thank you. It looked even to me in the mirror. :look:
 
Gotta get back to moisturizing and sealing. I have noticed too many broken strands lately. Could be stress but either way I'm not feeling it. Wash n go styles seem to be the devil for my TWA so I'll have to revisit those when it grows out a bit more.
 
Next week I'll be 16 weeks (4 months post)!! Relaxing has crossed my mind but I'm not interested! I plan to install weave or braids next weekend and keep it in through the rest of the summer. Super excited!

I may actually be transitioning long term. My goal originally was to BC either on my birthday at 6 months post but I really like the idea of being a straight haired natural :3 so for now I'm think there should be a category for non chemical straightener.
 
Forgot the wonders that an intense protein treatment and deep conditioning under my hooded drier does for me hair. Hair is super curly, soft and shiny today.
 
So last night I got frustrated with my hair and co washed, then braided it up. It wasn't dry this morning, but that was fine. I just brushed it up into a ponytail. I used silk elements edge control and I love it! This was my first time using it on my hair in its natural state. I just wet my brush and it slicked it back and it lookes nice! I'm going to keep trying this, it took a lot less product than the eco styler gel with none of the cunchiness. May give this braid out into a bun try again, it worked well when I was relaxed maybe it will work now that im natural.
 
I really want to shave my head and start over. So frustrated today. I wish I had the money to get braids or kinky twists. Guess I need to get my diy on....
 
Went to a natural hair salon yesterday and got my starter locs. I got mini 2-strand twists and I'm just going to let them lock. I'm still amazed the amount of shrinkage that I have but I think I made the right decision by not going with loc extensions.

I saw pics of my relaxed hair from like 6 years ago. It was so long! Now......OMG .....it is taking so long to get back to that point. I would love to get it to that length as a natural but if it's going to take another 6 years.....oy ve.
 
I know naturals usually cry about "heat damage" but I am loving how my curl pattern has loosened just a tad. I took my hair down from that braid out ponytail to moisturize and seal, and my hair was really streched to the point that it reminded me of a more textured version of my relaxed hair. Maybe now I will be able to roller set instead of blow drying prior to flat ironing. But if this keeps up I can see myself sticking to my personal 3 month no heat challenge.
 
In order to make my longest layers WL... I need to up the ante.

Time to schedule my hair appointment for next Tuesday I need to put some money away though dang it...

But I bought this hair almost a month and a half ago and haven't installed yet... It's about that time.
