ooooh, that looks so purty!!!

i like how it's a splash to the side, too!!!

you've got it going on with those beautiful braidouts girlie!!!



keep the pics coming ladies! we love eye candy!
(i'll jump into the ring sooner or later too! gotta plan for dry hair...)
 
Thanks for the compliments, ladies! I am just really happy that I am really getting to enjoy my natural hair! It's exciting - and now I can go back to being the hair chameleon I was used to being when my hair wasn't under a wig.
 
Davis you look beautiful and i like your hair +++ your hairline looks great. What are you doing to grow your Hairline??
 
Thanks so much! I just made a video on this actually. It should be uploaded tonight. I have been applying a mix of peppermint and avocado oil to it every now and then, but I have now switched to peppermint and castor oil and I am going to discipline myself to apply it everyday. I still have a whole lot of progress to make (unless it doesn't work since my thin hairline is genetic) but I hope that in about a month I will see some noticeable thickening.
 
Davis your hair is So Nice, I love it ;)

Hello Ladies I just can't seem to stay in front of the computer, Nikki my account should be set up by Monday ;)

Call me tonight :D Mscoco you too, OR I'ma Calling, unfortunately my cheap phone won't do 3 way so I might must steal my sons :ohwell: :lachen:
Anywho, ladies love you much and I am venturing off to boy scouts tonight. ;)

OH yes DAVIS you still look like a baby :D Beautiful none the less
 
^^ WHERE have you been beautyaddict???? I haven't seen you around in a while!
And thanks for all the compliments ladies!
And JJ, you know you have a baby face too! :p
 
of course it wants to act like a freakin tropical storm when I get off of work. no BSS today for me. dangit and I had a list of LFs I wanted to check out too!
 
everything happens for a reason. gives me a little bit more time to figure out what to do with my hair. i know one thing...this weave is coming OUT!
 
tomorrow I have no class now :kick: HUH, 2-3rd week in a row she cancelled :cry3: so I will be breaking down my braids and going to the Beauty parlor for a doobie ;)
 
davis, you and you're hair are gorgeous!!!

ladies, i'm tired of hiding my hair....blah blah blah...but i must continue on.
 
Grrr I am going to try to wait until Monday to take my hair out. YEP :yep:

I am not itching to have to do it right now.
 
davis, you and you're hair are gorgeous!!!

ladies, i'm tired of hiding my hair....blah blah blah...but i must continue on.

Divachyyk, i SO hear you!:yep:

especilly the blah..blah..blah...cuz i sound like a broken record!:lachen:

this is arduous work here!

but i must admit that from when i started baggy bunning in march '10, until i actually saw my hair permed, wrapped and flat around july, the difference in length and retention made me sit up and take note.:perplexed

i have to admit that it works.

we just gotta sometimes find new ways to make it exciting! :spinning:

that's why i got some braid hair to try some new styles and the ladies here have so many that you're bound to find something that will spice things up for you!:grin:

stick with it, Diva, and know that this is not being done in vain (pun inteneded! lol!), because the hyh done today will be loads of glorious long hair moments tomorrow!:grin:
 
ok ladies, i got to work with those big, long braid hair packages and did my usual baggy bun underneath them.

i'm doing alot of the double buns these days because my front half has too much distance to go (layers:ohwell:) to get into a low nape bun, so this way, i get the shorter lengths like my bangs and sides with the majority of the shaft inside the bag.

*one thing i just started doing recently to "baby my edges" is:
make my double bun loosely, holding one at a time with my hand
then i smooth the edges down in the opposite direction
(towards my chin for my front, towards my back for my sides and nape)
then i make the baggy bun (conditioners, oils,etc...)

then once my baggy bun is set, i smooth the hair upwards with my hands to flatten it out.
if necssary, i will wrap the dangling parts up and around the outside of the baggy bun so that they don't get flyaway or loose.

i learned this technique on here because it saves the sensitive areas and keeps them away from any tension, weight or pulling. they say it will help them to thicken up more and grow healthier.
i will see in time, but for now, it sure makes my head feel alot better!

i used cut up stockings to "wrap around" and hold the braid hair.
this is why i didn't need to use any bobby pins. (they would take my wet hair right out)
i wrapped one band of hair lengthwise down the front of the baggy bun, then another one around the sides, in order to get full coverage of my bagged buns with stockings over them, which are on the inside.

anyhoooo, here are the finished results!

(i used both brown and black braid hair because my hair is at an "in between" color)

:giggle: grow your silly, I love it though, Your so creative :D

I washed my Vanessa :cry2:
So today I will have to put on another LOL
 
stick with it, Diva, and know that this is not being done in vain (pun inteneded! lol!), because the hyh done today will be loads of glorious long hair moments tomorrow!:grin:
thx sis, i will keep at it. i plan to go half wig shopping today so hopefully that will help break up some of the blahness. all i've been doing is non-stop bunning so you see, that's why i'm like blah!

I LOVE THE DOUBLE BUN!

Good morning everyone!
(PS. Thanks diva! I'm just now seeing your post)
very welcome!
 
I may have to use a pass today... I want to do a cool blow-out for this style I want to try where you French braid your blown-out hair. And since I record all my styles, the subscribers will see my hair in its blow-out stage (even though it won't be my true length since it's a cool blowout and not straightened). So this is pass #2 for me. :)
 
^^Scratch that - I'm doing a flat twist-out instead. And nvm on that pass thing - I haven't used a pass yet because I haven't shown the length of my hair. I thought I used one when I posted my BC thread but my hair wasn't stretched at all.
 
THE THANK YOU BUTTON HAS DISAPPEARED!

Grow this PS is super cute. Good Job:)

thank you Winona!

:giggle: grow your silly, I love it though, Your so creative :D

SO CUTE, grow!
Ps. I can't make straight lines either!

thanks Davisbr88! i appreciate the solidarity over the straight lines, too!
