TRANSITION OVER! 11-22-14
I'm going to wear a busted bun to keep heat out of my hair.
I am going to attempt a year long relaxer stretch. I am hoping it will lead me to healthier hair. I enjoyed my District Convention so much. As a reward for losing a pants size, I was able to buy me a cute outfit.
Hubby helped me pick it out.

I'm only a month post relaxer. A busted bun is just enough hair to make a pony tail.
I'm calling it busted because my hair is not very long.

Davis YOu actually look like an adult in this pic; WOW, once you talk though that all goes out the door
Yellow is your color you look beautiful
LMAO!!!
FINALLY!!!!
Actually, I have been told that often about yellow. I wore this yellow romper one day and everyone was like "you're glowing!" I was like "ok.... thanks?" Lol. But thanks so much. I guess I will have to wear it more often. It's slowly becoming one of my favorite colors. (But that was completely off-topic...)

I am shocked too I didn't think u could look older than 12 if you tried
They were right, Yellow is the one makes your skin glow and totally brings out all your features. Amazing.
I have decided to take down my braids on time. I was going to leave it until friday but it is feeling like I have some build up. I have a job on my hands.

I really wish that I could tell you that I took pictures of my first protective hairstyle.. but I didn't. I only have the link of the style directions-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz7ZSAW6ZCQ&feature=player_embedded
Those lasted about a week, but can last way longer with upkeep-- i'd say no longer than 2 weeks. This week, I am trying a new style that I got off of Curlynikki.com under the updo section... The actual hairstyle is not posted on the site, i had to do some fishing through the users' other videos to find this 'do.. Here are some pics:
I will try to keep this look for the week... lol, let's see if it will last.
So far, so good!

Your hair is beautiful - you could rock some fly twists right now. But since you asked, here are a few pictures. While I tried to keep them pretty small, I made some larger in the crown since I know that area tend to tangle up badly with super small twists.

^^Pssssh! The shrinkage is NOT encouraging me to wear them out! I am not fully comfortable with it yet (which I knew was going to happen and why I planned to transition long-term... lol... but that didn't happen!) Yours are lovely!!! If I had your length, ya darn skippy I'd wear them out!
How long did your twists last? Did you do them on wet or dry hair? Did you use any products when you twisted? I think I am going to twist a quadrant of my hair tonight to kill some time before bed.

I do my twists on wet hair because it is easier for me to deal with and it tends not to be so frizzy. Plus since I use watered down Knot Today to moisturize it is no point in me doing them dry as they will shrink up as soon as that water hits them. (The picture below is of twists on blow dried hair in May and it was taken a few days after completion and they were shrinking but you can see the difference; although I have more length, they were already frizzy.) I applied the kimmay leave in and a little Kinky Curly Curling Custard to do this set. I also braided them up while damp which creates the crinkled look and I redo that every night. My twists will last a long time; this summer I went out of the country and they held up for three weeks with co-washing (I was at the beach and the baby threw sand in my hair). But I paid the price when it was time to take them down so I will try not leave them for more than two weeks and to keep the co-washing to a minimum.

I went ahead and twisted my hair after I washed. It only took like 20 minutes (for some reason, I thought it was going to take a long time...)
Anyway, I hope they last the week and a half, and then if I can, I can maybe wear a twist-out bun thingy for the rest of the second week and then re-twist. If this goes as planned, I will probably wear my hair like this, re-twisting every two weeks for the rest of the challenge!
Here are some pics, of course (sorry for the raccoon eyes - I was in the shower washing off my makeup and we all now how mascara likes to play):

Hey ladies, I'm using one of my passes to wear my hair out a couple of days, then I think I will put it in a lil bun or back under my wig.
I washed, deep conditioned, lightly blow dryed some sections and did a curlformer set last night. It came out okay, but I don't think it will last since some of the ends are frizzy already and the curls are soft. I used some wrap foam to help set them, but maybe I should've used more.
I will be back to hiding very soon.
