Morning Ladies!
It's a lazy ponytail day today. I wanted to henna my hair this weekend, but I had a funeral service to go to, and then the rugrat tried to catch a cold on me. So suffice it to say, I did absolutely nothing with my hair this weekend. I did wash it last Wednesday and blow it out. I meant to post pics but never got around to it. I have to say, I'm a little disappointed, because I really don't see any change in the length of my hair. I think I manage to comb out whatever growth I have.
Anywho, enough bellyaching. Here are two pics of my blown out puff:

I am embarassed, I haven't posted here in a while, but I am PROUD to say that I've been p'sing all the way. I rotated about 3 synthetic wigs this summer and starting looking at LFs last month and fell in love 
completely. So I have three to take me through fall and into spring! I did have a small "cheat" to check my length since my BC in May and I am very pleased and impressed with my au naturale growth!
There are so many styles I want to try, I hope I'm hangin' and swangin' by next summer.
JJamiah & MsBlue-- Your hair is looking good ladies. I need to go back a few pages and see if I can find your regimens.
Janet'--Your updo for the wedding was beautiful! I love your color! I can't wait to color next summer.
Ms_CoCo37--Your hair is so pretty! I love your natural waves!
Thank you all for your encouragement and inspiration!! It helps newbies like me. I'll be 6 months natural next week on the 14th and I couldn't have done it without you!!

Good morning!
Ponying it up again today. What can I say? I'm lazy. I think I'm going to make another attempt at henna this weekend. I would also like to try a rollerset. But each time I think about dealing with this stuff in it's curly state, I cringe. Sheesh. We'll see how it goes.
How are you?

Just saying hello to you beautiful ladies. I've been sidetracked lately. The dh is due for yet another post-cancer test tomorrow. Hopefully we'll graduate to annual testing after this one. Whew, sistah is tired but hey, I won't complain, the dh is healthy otherwise...so with that, I put on my big girl underpants (to keep it politically correct) and KIM.

I just took my weave out finally! It started looking crazy because I got an invisible part for the 1st time and my hair started growing into the part. I'm trying to find a stylist to get another weave before Thanksgiving so I can take my senior pictures.. any suggestions from ladies in the DMV other than Jehan or Reneice? They are booked

Here I grow again!
divachyk, praying for excellent test results. We went thru this with my mom after her cancer and chemo ordeal. It was very stressful but at this point, you can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel and feel hopeful. Believing all is well with those test results so that only annual wellchecks are next. (That's what I call 'em).
bimtheduck, I can't wait either, girl!

divachyk, sending good test result vibes your way!
Janet', you're definitely one to talk with that beautiful head of hair you have.
Ms_Twana, I was about to send out a search party for you. Glad you're still hiding!
NJoy, I can't wait to see your results either! I wish I had your growth rate. I feel like I'm still in the same place. Ugh.

Just going through the motions with the transition but JJamiah really gave me a good pep talk last night. I haven't been on my HHJ for even 6 months yet so be patient and give it some time. I'm gonna attempt to do a bun when I finally flat iron next month. I doubt it's a full and lucious bun like more people, but if I can do it without a sock, I might cry lol

mscoco_37, the braidout is FAB!!! Can you fly to Florida and give me some tips? You're hair is super duper thick. Whew, wish I had your thickness and length.
@Janet', I love your hair. It's always so bouncy and pretty. Funny how we always love what everyone else's hair look like and when we look in the mirror at our own, we just see blah.
@JJamiah, did I tell you I tried Hair One??? Well, I've lost track because of all the medical stuff, but anyway...I LOVE HAIR ONE. I think I will make this my staple provided the poo sessions go good the next few times. Do you use this when deep into a stretch?
@NikkiQ, I have a tendacy to get impatient also. I had to step away from LHCF for about a week because it was totally consuming me and making me obsessed with length, retention, no breakage, etc. I had to get it together, it was like I was becoming lost in the world of hair.
@NJoy, you an inspiration to us all. I need to visit your profile again and take notes of the things to incorporate. I wish there was one magic regi that would suite us all.

OT: Ladies, that dern breakage is back. AARGH! How do you keep your ng moisturized?
I plan to purchase Nu Gro but even after I purchase it, how do you apply it to ensure your ng remains fully moisturized? I find that my ng gets super duper dry if I don't part my hair in small sections and spritz (if juicing) or apply moisturizer (if using a creamy moisturizer). The downside is that this takes way too long. I've tried parting my hair in four large sections and quickly moisturizing/sealing in the 4 large sections. This method works okay for 1 or 2 nights. A week of doing that...then I'm in the boat I am now....with breakage because the ng is too dry.
