Getting a touch-up on Wed! I am 15 or 16 weeks post. I lost count but this is only my 2nd time stretching so I did pretty good (or so I think). I bought a phony pony this weekend. I'm so proud of me. My very first phony pony. I haven't worn it yet because I'm trying to let my scalp rest until after my touch up. I'll post a pic when I wear it.

divachyk Yeah, I just spray it on.
misslaraj Your update pics look FABULOUS!! I can't wait to see it at the end of the year.
NikkiQ The site is flaky and very frustrating these days. That might explain why it's been so quiet on the boards lately.
My weekend was pretty hectic. Still HMH by braiding my hair in 2 Pocohontas braids and pinning the ends up in back and wearing my wavy 3/4 wig on top. I did some detangling today to avoid my ng matting but, otherwise, this has been a very low mani time for me. Aaaahhh... I'm definitely enjoying the ease. Don't know when I'll have to relax. I'm 12 wks post. I'll be out of town the weekend of 11/6 so, I'm trying to debate whether to relax and use a pass to wear my hair out or continue to HMH. I'm leaning towards a 1/2 wig with the front out.
But, now that I think about it, if I want my hair freshly permed for NYE (I'll be far too busy @ Christmas), I'll need to perm by the Nov. 3rd so, I guess that solves that mystery. And then, I guess I will do the partial wig thing. What do you ladies think?

NikkiQ and NJoy....the site is not working properly for me. I have to do a web search on "site: longharicareforum and the topic of choice," the search results populate on screen then I select a link/page I want to visit and then and only then can I get into LHCF. If I try to visit the site directly through Long Hair Care Forum - The Front Page, I get the message that maintenance is being performed. Silly. I don't like the other forums but I might have to tip toe on over there to get my fix.

divachyk, I'm having hella problems with the site. I'm surprised my last message even posted. I tried to post it 4x before giving up. My last couple of time I included a rant about how frustrating it is posting. I really think Nikko should have worked on a production version behind the scenes, making sure he could get everything working right before going live with the new updated site. Ugh!! And is seems like some javascripts are slowing things down. I haven't had a site move this slowly since dial up. I can't handle it. Oh, and I'm totally unable to access the site from my phone because it's tooooooo friggen slow! (That is all. Rant over. Please resume the hair talk) *Not counting on this posting, really. Whatever. Heading back over to FB.

Agree, very slow. I ditched my FB family and friends to kick it with you guys. Now that I've returned to FBn, they should feel so used. lol. I'm only FBn until LHCF stop cutting the fool (acting up).

the site is driving me banana hammock right now! every thread is on here like twice. IDK what in the world is going on, but I'm going batty trying to find threads!
Anywho...3 weeks in the braids so far and have between .5-1" of growth in areas. I wish my freakin bangs would grow as fast as my hair does from the top of my head and back. Eh well. As long as it's healthy, it can move at a snail's pace. I'm gonna try to keep them in until Nov. 2nd or at least until that weekend. That way I can get my bestie or my SO to take my 6 month NG update pics for me.

Morning Ladies!
I don't know why, but for the past two mornings, I haven't been able to log onto the site.

I have nothing exciting to report. Oh! NikkiQ, I had one of those crazy hair dreams yesterday. I dreamed that DD was combing my hair for me, and it reached all the way down to my tailbone...but then, when I went to show my mom, it shrank back down to BSL. Talk about mad...

About to head out the door in like one minute. Doing Laundry 
Yes I am, I had to put it on so I could toss in the dryer when I come home. I am wearing my girl still today. I am taking my braids out this Thursday to make sure it gets done. I will pop on my fake bang and put my hair up in a bun and call it a day. Yeah! Any who see you ladies in a few. 
Ms coco feel free to call me my phone isn't broken (Nikki No words) Any who off to drop children.

Alrighty soooo I've been slippin on updating you all on my growth...
Let's see. I took out my first install about 2 weeks ago. Washed & conditioned my hair. However, I didn't condition it enough and the shampoo I used literally STRIPPED my scalp dry. My head was itching like CRAZY during the first week and half of this install. I was wallking around w/ my oils & Scurl moisturizer in my hand/purse at all times. I definitely did some scalp damage BUT that forced me to do some research and I think I have a regimen all worked out for my hair. So I guess it worked out for the better?
Anywho... here is a pic of my latest and greatest install. Got them done by Feyi over at www.lushmanes.wordpress.com and as always she is fabulous!

Hey ladies...it has been a while, but I have been keeping consistent on hiding my hair.
I have been bunning everyday since June. I went to the salon today for the first time since last December. My hair has become much more healthier and full. I have a good amount of relaxed ends so the stylist trimmed off a little on the ends....which gave me a lil setback on my goal of APL by the end of this year but hopefully I will regain what was lost by December and be even closer to completely natural! It has been approximately 15 months since my last texturizer.

I'm sorry to hear about the scalp mishap, but I'm absolutely loving the new install! It looks great on you!

divachyk, girl, I was so mad when I woke up. I hate it when I have those dreams.
On another note, I haven't officially straightened my hair since July, but I still feel like I'm not making any progress when I stretch my hair out.
Whatever little bit of retention I may have, I think I manage to comb it out. Sheesh.
It all boils down to my lack of patience. I need to get some braids or something stat. Because I can't seem to keep my hands out of my head.
