Janet' HEy ms. Lady. How are you doing 
I went today to get me another couple of head wraps. Nope, didn't have any.
They had a Snood for your buns or ponys, I bought a Snood, a pony tail bun holder, and a jaw clip.
I will be wearing my hair out (well in a Bun) for a while or under my headwrap. Just won't be in a wig until June or July. :wow:
I know. LOL
I am just wanting to baby my hair and play with my hair. I will most likely get a few rollersets until then. Maybe every other week.

I don't know why I have always been in to covering my hair for as long as I can remember (maybe a past life reason)
I cover my hair with Pony tails (even though my hair is way longer)
With Wigs, with scarves, with knotted head wraps, with other adornments.
I just feel more comfortable with a covering on my head of some sort. It's really weird. I don't know why. I feel nice wearing it out sometimes. (once or twice a year)
go figure. one of those moments.

I have my hair in a side bun and I've been putting different flowers in it to make it fun
@LilMissSunshine5 Hey!
I did take a couple of pics after I hopped into my car
Funny, how alot of my pics happen there Take a peek
(removed)
The product is cool... kinda reminds me of Cantu Shea Butter, in terms of consistency. The smell is kinda sweet too... Anyway, I think I like this stuff... and I really think its a great tool for transitioning as it woke up my new growth, in a nice way.
It isn't slippy and didn't seem overly moisturizing, but the finished product is soft and moisturized???
I didn't use it on freshly washed hair (so it was not product free) and I didn't use on damp hair. So my experience could be enhanced on fresh washed hair and if I maybe use as a wash n go. I also want to try the "milk" one.

If I were on my regular relaxer schedule, this would have been my weekend to relax:16 weeks post. I can't believe that I'm still stretching with no major problems *knocks on wood*, usually around this time I'm losing my mind over my detangling sessions and lack cute hairstyles. I plan to stretch until the end of this challenge just to prove to myself that I CAN stretch for 6 months. What is really surprising to me is that I haven't use heat AT ALL! 
I will be hiding my hair by getting single braids like Solange, but not down to my knees, the last weekend of the month and when I take them out, I will wait a week or two and then relax. I hope to have a nice surprise (BSL) then. Ok, enough rambling. HHG!

I spent Saturday night and Sunday morning taking out my crochet braids, and then removing my cornrows. Actually, removing the crochet braids only took about 1.5 hours. I had a total of 7 packs of curly microbraid hair in.
I took my time removing the weave thread (used this to sew the ends of my cornrows up so they wouldn't be visible at the nape) and shed hairs.
The detangling part was a little too easy. After finger detangling, I put my hair in 16 sections using my fingers only. I then applied a generous amount of Trader Joe's Nourish Spa Conditioner - massaging it gently onto my dry ends.
I then used my Denman brush to gently tap the tangles out. I don't plan on using my Tangle Teezer for a while. The teeth have slanted at a weird angle, and I'm not sure yet how that will impact the condition of my hair.
After removing more shed hair, I finished by hopping in the shower and rinsing my hair out. There were no tangles, matting, nada... all because I detangled instead of rushing through and washing.
I used Curl Junkie's Cleansing Conditioner (I didn't want to use shampoo since my hair - and ends - were so dry!) to cleanse my hair,rinsed, applied Yes To Carrots Moisturizing Conditioner for 2 minutes, rinsed, then sat under the steamer with Joico Moisture Recovery Balm for 1 hour.
I rinsed with cold water afterwards and followed up with an ACV rinse.
I used Oyin Hair Dew on all the sections and re-twisted quickly so that I could get my hair dry before bed.
I will be cornrowing on Monday and putting a new style of crochet braids back in.

Boy, oh boy. It's been a minute since I've commented in this thread, but I'm still hanging in their ladies. I'm doing better than I thought that I would. I'm out of a sew in and back under a wig. It's getting hot in this part of TX, but I'm going to grin and bare it for a little while longer.

JJamiah: okay, so I took a little break from LHCF for a while..... where in the world did all of that hair come from????!!!! Looking good and growing like a weed. I think sometimes I forget that you're hair is uber thick and long b/c you're always under the wigs. Congrats on your progress and your diligence!!! I tell you, you and LadyPanolo (sp?) are my "hiding yo hair" inspirations.
