Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

What kind of pic app?

I tend to use pic stitch or instasize. Or I just crop the photo with the edit in my phone. Its a little annoying but in both cases the image saves to my phone gallery again and I can use it from that particular folder. I can never upload pics directly from my gallery. It must be something to do with the size of the file.

Ok, so I can copy and paste a picture but I cant upload any pics. This is soooo frustrating. This is the pic I wanted as my avatar. But anyways, this is my hair from yesterday. I used botanical gel as my styler. I have several more pics, but they are all on my phone and the site is not letting me upload them.

ETA: Uggggggggg, and you still cannot see the picture. I could see the pic when I pasted it but now I cant see the pic!

I GIVE UP!!

I just get the URL of my pic, hit the insert image button (right next to the "smilies" button), paste the URL and hit 'insert' and it works for me. The code around your picture should be [I.MG]putURLhere[/IMG] without the period in the first bracket. I upload the pics to my fotki first, click the "share" button and get the code from there. I haven't tried uploading/attaching an image yet. Hmm...let me see if I can

ETA: I was able to upload a pic from my computer. I wonder why you are having trouble?

I didn't restyle my hair today. I've been having a really lazy Sunday. I jus took my bonnet to assess my hair and low and behold it still looks good.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

my 2nd day hair is looking good but of course the roots are still damp. I think tomorrow Im going to restyle.

The dew tomorrow is going to be 54 so I should be good using glycerin under my styler.

Thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded a pic resizer. It's annoying but at least I can upload pics now and change my avatar

Although straight hair is nice, I think that as black women our beauty blossoms with big kinky curly hair. There is pride in showcasing our authentic selves, big mane and all. The more we flaunt it, the more people's attitudes and assumptions will change.

Your hair is looking gorgeous. I'm glad you can finally upload

Today's wash n go. KCKT (heavily diluted) a quarter size of Lustrasilk activator, and Super Wet gel.

I just told this lady my hair wasn't a twist out and she said "oh you have that kind of hair" :/ since when is 4ab hair uncommon among blacks? I would kind of see it if my hair was silky but it's not. See this is why I don't like discussing my hair. Folks act like you have 2a hair and can't help them when we have the same hair type only difference is I take care of mine properly and it's healthy. But they aren't trying to hear that, too busy being negative.

Oh and I never use this word but my hair is on fleek today lmao

I have no idea what hair type I am but i can tell you that there was not one curl in my head after my BC. I had to really moisturize this head to get the curls out. The misconception is that somehow curly hair is easy and we don't understand. As much as I'm in here complaining you know I got struggles of my own! But when I try to give advise on how to moisturize i just get the eye roll like whatever I say will not be applicable. So I just don't even bother anymore

Today since I was just doing a high puff, I used Curls Creme Brule as a leave in and then Curls Goddess Curls on top. The Gel was cool but it didn't slick my edges down enough for the puff, so I had to add my regular gel on top. But my hair feels soft and smells really good.

I almost colored and flat ironed my hair this weekend. I had a moment.. watching YouTube videos and whatnot. It passed, thankfully. Although I do think I'm going to refresh my highlights and lift my base color a few shades for summer/my wedding. But I'll go to a pro for that, maybe at the end of May.

That moment when you realize how great your hair looks but the camera cant seem to capture it no matter what light youre in.... -_-

 

[Amarilles]

^Try taking the pic of your actual hair, not of the mirror showing your hair. And that the pointer is focused.

I find my head to be kinda photogenic. Sometimes I'm trying to capture a problem I'm having yet the the problem just doesn't show. It looks niceish in every shot. If only I could say the same for my face.

Damp to dry! Had to wash it today it was stuck to my head this morning tresseme naturals deep conditioner and vo5 to cowash. Clear Eco ohhh I layered blue magic coconut grease under the gel. Hair is blinging!

 

[whiteoleander91]

@VinaytheMrs so pretty! I like the way you parted your hair

 

[Joigirl]

Wow, the pics are so nice on this new platform! Loving all the beautiful hair pics.

 

[VinaytheMrs]

I'm just now seeing the web version of LHCF... um... I might need to get the pic resizer my pics are HUGE haha!

 

[pattyr5]

I did not like my hair today. Styled with ecostyler (Olive Oil) and plopped overnight. It seemed to have more shrinkage today and felt dry. That was the last of the Ecostyler, I will be trying the one with Argan oil.

Grease under gel you say hmmmmmm Do come back and let us know what it was like when it dried completely! Was it touchable, sqooshable? I have some Natures Blessings that I just might try under my gel!

I like to pair mine with a light butter for more moisture.

 

[whiteoleander91]

My wash and go today: Camille Rose Curl Love Moisture Milk + Ampro Argan Oil gel. I normally detangle in the shower with conditioner, but for the past few days I've been detangling out of the shower with the CRCLMM. A little goes a long way and it has nice slip. So far, I've really been enjoying detangling this way. I barely used any gel at all today but I was still able to get good definition.

it was fully dry in pic 2. My hair dries pretty fast plus I blotted with a tshirt too.
My hair feels very moisturized and juicy but not wet. Curls are not crispy at all. I do feel it looks shorter today.. I will see how I like it tomorrow.

Why do I always get the urge to do my hair late at night?

I doing mine too. It will never dry. I will have to diffuse.

@Joigirl , I didn't give in , it was really close though. I'll do it tomorrow after i get back in from my dentist.

Better idea than mine. I'm sitting here waiting for the kids to get done with their showers. I will be up all night.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

And I started the madness. I think I will break the steamer out today after washing my hair. Sitting in a Cherry lola treatment right now
