I did a thing, albeit a somewhat shoddy thing, but still a thing :laugh:

I refused to wear my upart without something covering my hair, so here I present to you: FrankenCap.

It’s held together by faith, needle and thread.
 
I cut the back of my hair completely off on July 5th of this year and I don't even think I have 2 inches of hair to show for it. Why can't I just have a normal growth rate? I know it all comes down to retention but it takes so long to grow anything to retain.

A good friend of mine who has been natural for the last 15 years, admitted that she was scared to tell me she relaxed her hair. I reassured her that
I can only respect her decision. We laughed sharing bad hair day stories as relaxed and natural.
 
Well my ponytail roller set was a fail. Good thing I was just practicing and not trying to go anywhere tonight or I’d be sad. I also burned my ear trying to accomplish this. :(
 
Darn, all that hard work and it didn’t pay off
:bighug:
:cry3:It’s ok tho. I’m not sure where I went wrong. My hair was soaking wet and super detangled. Maybe it was the products. One side got really poofy when I combed it out.l even though it was completely dry. It’s wrapped up now. I’ll keep it wrapped until right before I leave for work. I’ll put it in a bantu knot bun for work for the next 2 days to keep it semi stretched then on Friday I’ll set it on flexi rods with a little serum for the weekend.

Humidity and glycerin maybe?
 
Anybody have details on a knock off puff cuff thats more affordable? I'm not spending 20 bucks on a round banana clip. LOL.
 
I decided to revisit washing in sections today and now I understand why so many people do it. It sucks on short hair but at my current length, washing is six flat twist made doing my hair so easy. I just need to keep an eye on my scalp, it'd be too easy to miss a spot and get build up.
 
Which oil do you use? I don't remember ever doing a H.O.T before.

My mom used to have us do them when we were little, it's pretty old school so I don't see people doing them as much lately. I use coconut oil, I find it works better as a HOT than trying to use it as a leave in. Back then we would just use olive oil.
