you ladies warned that she was slow, but i didn't think she was THIS slow! 
thanks, Flowinlocks! i'm so glad you are using the good ol' M-T-G, too! that's gonna have to do, for me, for now.
although, guess what VeePickni? i DID inquire about the Claudie's at that email address and it is AMAZING how many scents they have!
ya know the pj in me wants to try them all, but i'm leaning toward the Mango Kiwi or the Cucumber Melon. we'll see which....
btw, THE BOUNDLESS TRESSES I ORDERED WHEN THIS CHALLENGE BEGAN STILL HAS NOT ARRIVED!
thank goodness i still have my good ol' M-T-G, so this week, i'm just gonna use that.
hhj ladies!
What the?!! Wow!!!
sad nor anything for the next 2 weeks.

I have to find another way to protect my ends. I have been bunning and wrapping the length around or either looping the ponytail holder around after folding them under. Sometimes the ends are actually being "cut" into by the holder. I use claw combs and clips throughout the day. It's the night thing I need to switch up. It's too straight to braid right now plus I don't want to manipulate it that much every night. You can see the hot mess I took off in my album.
I just applied my sulfur mix. I'm having a battle with my ends. I did a major trim last night. It was split and broken hair everywhere.
I understand, we aren't going anywhere. We'll be right here when you restart.
I'm gonna have to...relax it. So, I'm planning my touch up for Wednesday, which means I won't be back on the sulfur til a week or so after.
You didn't actually cut off as much as you think you did. And it still looks good. Good riddance to split ends, says I. Before they do some real damage.
So I'm wondering what kind of ponytail holder you're using. The wrong ones will make your ends raggedy cutting into them.
I'm using Goodie ouchlesss.
And at night, are you still in a bun? It's too straight to braid in a braid that will hold but maybe you can loosely braid, fold it onto your head and tie it down with your scarf (or baggy and scarf)?
Only at night.
Or, you can get those thin hair nets (I use ones that come with my phonytails and wig) and put it over your hair (doubling the wig-sized one), so that the hair stays up to wrap it. I do that to keep my hair under my steamer too when I'm conditioning. That way, your hair stays put with no stress. Just wrap and zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Good Idea!!!
Oh, and are your buns baggied? If so, make sure the the ponytail holder is on the outside of the plastic and not coming in contact with your hair. And make sure it's not too tight. Lastly, did you know they have satin ponyholders? Stay aWAY from the ones with metal on 'em.
I baggied twice last week for the first time.
Sigh, the ponytail holder was under the plastic. I baggied the ponytail. I guess I did it wrong.
One more thing, when you wrap the ends around the bun, tuck the ends under and into the center of the bun to protect 'em. Your hair is long enough.
I tried this but it doesn't seem to stay. I could use a bobby pin.
I think you can make some slight adjustments and still be ok with bunning...if you still want to bun. (and don't make them too tight.)
Njoy. Out!

Thanks so much!
You could....
Or, if you're baggying, you only need it to stay long enough to get that baggy secured. Or, again, you could use a thin hair net and cover the bun, flip it, cover, flip it and cover (til it fits). The net is so thin, you don't really see it and it'll hold it secure without being too harsh.
Those Good Day pins are supposed to be good too. I have some but, fight to get 'em out (although now I realize that I have to stretch it to get it to release. I still am not crazy about them). Those are the clear plastic hairpins. They sell 'em at Sally's too,
Just some thoughts. Main thing is keep the ends tucked safely beneath the bun. As your hair grows, it'll be easier to get it to stay tucked. Again, a satin scrunchie would work nicely too.
As you know, I wrap my bun in a baggy and then a scarf. Like so...
Of course, with the NG rebellion going on, I'm not looking anywhere near as calm as in the pic. I'm looking more like this
He looks kinda rough, I hope it's not that bad.
I'll def. pick up some satin scrunchies and hair nets tomorrow.
How often do you baggy? What are you using?
I baggy bun daily, with the exception of the past few days. just lazy and did nothing with my hair. Kept my slept in 2 braids. That's why I'm saying I look like that rough pic.
I also whole head baggy every night. Not that I have a choice with all the oils.
I use NTM silk touch leave in, then an oil (WGO/EVCO mix), then QP Elasta Olive Oil/Mango Butter and then Hawaiian Silky 14 n 1.
That's typical for me after cowashing. I either bun the coated strands immediately and baggy the bun or I clip the strands up to airdry a bit before bunning. Depends on whether I need to run out right away or not. Either way, it's more moisturized than wet. I put a bit of aloe gel on my edges and tie a scarf around to smooth my edges. By the time I'm dressed, I can take off the scarf and it's ready (um...not lately tho).
My hair isn't wet throughout the day but my strands stay well moisturized. My baggied ends are not soggy because they're sealed. I got the layered concept from Chicoro's fotki.
Works well for me. My ends are golden and I'm getting no breakage. hide the ends totally and don't put pressure on the point that the holder rests.
very interesting posts ladies! cross wrapping is a great idea and i don't have that velcro closure Laidbak is describing (yet) either, so i just cross them, secure them with the duck clips, making sure to leave the ends of the clip out past my hairline edges, put my scarf on over my hair and the clips, then i simply pull the clips out from under the closed, secured scarf.
it works, and can tide you over until we find out about those velcro ones.
as for the bunning, i totally agree with NJoy's wonderful advice,too!
PLEASE do not put those ponytail holders on YOUR hair any more....just thinking of that makes me wince! those satin holders are really good and i use them, but even they don't touch my hair.
when i bun, the only thing that touches my hair is the plastic bag i've got my hair in. i roll the bag under until it's near my scalp, THEN i put the bun covers, satin wraps, scarves&ornaments on OVER THE BAG. this protects my hair while it's being moisturized and keeps all day.
I won't I have one in there now, but thanks to NJoy it's over a baggy. Which by the way made my hair feel wonderful today. It's moist but not sopping wet.
Bun covers? I gotta check that out also.
ladies, on a sad note, after much patience with the BOUNDLESS TRESSES, first the lady writes me that she doesn't recognize my address, so i look up in my records and send her my order number.
then she tells me she can't find my payment of $61.00!
i was so through with her that i almost wrote her saying if i have to look up my Paypal account information records to find proof of a payment I KNOW they completed way back in January, not only could she forget my order, she could forget me as a return customer!
at the end, i just went to my Paypal records and asked them to refund the order, which is one of the great reasons i like paying with Paypal. Even when a merchant is trying to be sly, Paypal always backs up your money, thank goodness.
maybe it's because i'm an overseas customer, but friends in the states have said she's lacking, too.
SHE'S the reason (and merchants like her) why i get doubtful about people like Claudie's, though from what i can tell so far, Claudie's is alot more reliable....i hope.
anyways, i still have the M-T-G!
even though i had picked out the scent from Claudie's....i'm still a bit undecided because these hassles when they take your money at once, but only MAYBE send you your goods, has me quite cautious.
Im so sorry this happened. On a more positive note, at least you can get your money back.
