Do I feel like taking my braids down? NO
Do I feel like going to the Beauty Salon Tomorrow? NO
Do I feel like doing anything but going to sleep right now? NO

I will be under that dryer tomorrow for a bit, 1 hour plus :cry2:
Will get a steam treatment (most likely bring my own treatment) and bring my Alter Ego (so I don't have to pay for theirs) I might be there all afternoon :D tryna be there for 10am sharp.

I was feeling the same way last night when I got home. I thought I was going to wash it and blow it dry for my half wig. Things just didn't work out in that arena.

BTW, that hair fryer dryer is the BIZNAZ! I'm used to having to sit under the dryer for a good two hours.

I washed, DC'd with steamer, twisted, and then banded her hair. Took me darn near 5 hours to do all of that.

How often do you steam?

JJamiah said:
Sounds like everyone here is doing well. Sorry I kinda been MIA, must running around for those back to school this and that, being Committee Chair for Cub Scouting doesn't help that either. :nono: then Popcorn sales, school fundraising and raffling for Football :nono: you get it! :D Oh well.

How did the trim turn out?

I am carmeraed out until December unless I get a new piece and at this rate it doesn't look like new will happen soon.

Do you typically order online or purchase in-store?

NikkiQ said:
lol okay. I'm right on track to get my steamer for Christmas too! All this promo work I've been doing lately has been leading to some extra extra spending cash.

Where are you purchasing steamer from? I tried the home grown steam treatment and it worked like a charm but it would be nice to have an actual steamer though. What kind of promo work are you doing?

So I realized how crappy my ends felt, so my hair is going to be hidden under a shower cap and turban constantly while I'm home, and under a shower cap and black crochet cap when I leave (if I can successfully camouflage the shower cap). I really have to up my moisture so I'm going to be doing this until the end of the month probably. No more styling experiments for me for a while!

My hair has reached an all-new level of softness with doing a steam treatment, have you tried that yet? I posted a link above...you should give it a try.

^^^Sorry to be MIA as well but sheez, I've been busy now that school is back in session. I mentioned sometime ago that I have full-time job and teach as an adjunct at the local college. Needless to say I'm tired and spread thin but hey, that's life.

I'm still hiding my hair. I went half wig shopping this weekend with the dh but didn't see anything that I just had to have. The consultant lady at the wig shop suggested I go lace front.

Which do you prefer -- Half or Lace front?
Which looks more realistic -- Half or Lace Front?
What websites are a cheap place to buy either? SN: I'm sure some fabulous links are deeply embedded within this or another thread but will someone please pity me and just share your top online shopping sources without getting crunk and telling me to search for it? TTFN (tata for now)...:blowkiss:

I steam every other week, but I'm trying to motivate myself to steam once a week.

You're natural, right? I am relaxed. I've read that too much steaming is not healthy. I steamed for the first time the past weekend and I'm in love! I was planning to steam once monthly but I think every other week wouldn't be too-too bad I don't guess. I guess it's better to start out slow (once monthly) that come hard out the gate and over-steam/over-moisturize the hair.
 
Hi Guys,

I know that I've been MIA for a minute...I finally had to log off of LHCF and get on my Ph.D studies!!!! But I'm wearing my Wash and Go and that is definitely hiding my hair because my hair is as wide as it is long!!!!
 
Morning!
I am going to attempt to two-strand twist my hair again and I really need to figure out how to make it last two weeks so all I have to do is pop on my shower cap to baggy, and I won't have to manipulate my hair so much.
 
Haven't been posting much cause I haven't been doing anything creative with my hair lol. Just phony pony and using my EZ clip.

It actually came out pretty good. I'll take a pic and post it later tonight if I can. My coworker thought it came this way lol. I think I'll order my steamer from either Salons R Us or ebay. Haven't figured it out yet. I am a promo model for Southern Comfort, Jack Daniels and a few other alcohol brands.

Saturday is my day this week; will go get a facial
I go online and sometimes Local Beauty supply.
 
ordered 2 wigs and a half wig tonight. I'll model them for you guys when I get them. No hints at which ones I got until then :giggle:
 
Divachyk I am relaxed and I steam usually weekly, but I steam my protein treatments in instead of the Moisture :) that seems to work out lovely. If you only steaming moisture I'd do that once every two weeks and follow up with protein.

Otherwise I also like Lace Fronts better, why Because I don't like messing around with blending, sounds like pure laziness to me :lachen: but it also for me is easier. :)

Half wigs are more affordable and offer more variety. I have worn a Half wig before and it was basically a full cap to me I peeled 1/2 inch of hair from the front and smack it back with gel and that was all she wrote.

How are ladies doing this morning :D

I think every other week is just fine. As a matter of fact, whenever I take DD to our natural hair care stylist, she uses a steam treatment...and that's every other week. I think DD's hair has really thrived because of it.:yep:

I joined the steam challenge, but I haven't been doing jack it it so far.:ohwell:

Let me know when you've mastered that...because I still haven't found much success when I try it. Of course, I'm not the most consistent person in the world...
 
I almost forgot! I'm sporting my half wig today, and I have to say I like it much better than the full wig. I'll try to take a pic and post it.
 
I personally am loving these clip in bangs- I thought they would be blah okay, but WOW, I am loving LACY, not to much Cassia but If I could have a ton of Lacy :woohoo:

I am wearing lacy and my spin pins in the back ;) with my hair in a fuller bun since I got the roller set I like it alot :yep:
