I want box braids so bad I can barely see straight. I want them poetic justice style and I want them simply so I can wear it in a big dumb bun. *le sigh

I want mine this size to wear between weeks 12-16.
I just came across this pic of Angela Simmons just before I saw your post. If I knew of a great, responsible and hair health braider in Chicago I would do it in a heartbeat. shortdub78 do any recs??

Mande30 klsjackson I put up pics of my new cut in the Relaxed Hair Thread. I decided to try out the Aphogee line for a while to help with shedding and get it back on track. I also bought Elasta QP DPR 11+ deep conditioner to help with my moisture so my moisture protein balance should be in check. I'm thinking about about getting the Neutrogena triple moisture leave in as a new lighter moisturizer but I gotta did it first. Hopefully this will help my problem areas and get my hair back on track

Sitting here with a snifter of brandy, a cigarette, and some Bon bons as I bask in the after glow of the hairgasm Darcy's pumpkin seed condish gave me after a DC... I could not fight back as it took over my naps and cast a spell over them leaving them powerless against a comb.....they didn't put up a fight, and allowed the condish to have his way with them... I have a new head of hair....

I finger detangle on 80 percent dry hair with my leave-in (Darcy Botanicals Daily). I applt the leave in while its wet but after I air dr. I might have to pick up a detangler because I had a few tangles last time I cowashed.
What detangler is everyone using??

I 'finger' detangle as my hair is hanging loose drying. I do not apply a detangler after, I do however apply a cream leave in and oil right out of the shower....If I use a comb it's after my hair is fairly dry.

so biotin sucks. i'm not taking it anymore.
not only did i break out hardcore with these super hard and huge pimples along my hairline, but it just made my new growth insanely insanely thick. like unlike anything i've ever experienced before. detangling is hellish. i feel hot all the time from this nappy NG helmet i'm rocking right now.
may relax on Friday at 6 weeks.

If I use a detangler....
Pre-wash - Mane n Tale Detangler
Post-wash - Oyin J&B or AfroVeda Morgina
I use fingers when/where needed but my areas of concern is the kinky ng. My hair tends to knot and tangle around the root/line of demarcation area during wash days (even with keeping the hair properly detangled throughout the week). It took quite a while to detangle last night with using fingers and combs. My length is a breeze, it's just the kinky roots that slows me down. I will be ending my stretch this week at 11 weeks because I truly don't have time for this foolishness.

I detangle on damp hair. I spritz first with either "Mane&Tail Detangler" or else I will use "REDKEN Anti-Snap Leave-In". Then I use the Jilbere Shower Comb to detangle.

Hey everybody. Havent checked in for a while, I am 8 or 9 weeks post, I flat ironed this weekend , because I cannot deal with my new growth well 
I obviously don’t use the right kind of detangler/leave in, because I have a heck of a time detangling. I am also having moisture issues, My hair looks dull and feels dry if I don’t use heat .. drives me Loco!! I am relaxing this upcoming weekend and will post measure pics then

I use NTM twice a month as my cream for the LOC(O) method (after my wash and after my cowash). It is very moisturizing, plus it protects against the sun. If I know that my hair will be exposed to the sun, for an extended period of time, I will also use it. (of course, under a hat)

divachyk One of the things that I do that I find helps is to part my hair under running water while I'm rinsing out my conditioner. The water pressure aids in keeping my roots fairly detangled. I start from one side an part with my fingers vertically in 1/2 inch increments to the other side of my head. Hopefully you get the visual. It really does work for me. It's a habit that I forgot about but was a hair saver during my last 18 week stretch. With this 20 week stretch I've started doing this at the 6 week mark.

Hey Buddies,
Looks like my silk dreams are over. I don't mind waiting on a purchase as long as I have some idea of what is going on. I'm not patient with stuff like that. I'd love to try the stuff but I'm not thinking that my hair is going to know how much it's missing by using something else. Not a fan of the waiting game. Cancelled my order...had too long to think about it. Pisses me off that they can take your money almost immediately but you have to wait for a refund when they haven't even prepared, let alone shipped the product. Anyway, if ever there was a cure for my PJ-ism it is a wait.

It's been a week right? That's way too long to not have shipped. I know you already cancelled the order but sometimes those small/individual companies don't show any tracking info and then your delivery just shows up. Did you call them? What did they say??

I had an email exchange going with someone who responded to my inquiry about the status of my order. She gave me some chewed-up-grass about long processing time during sales and never gave me any information about my order. She didn't seem at all bothered my desire to cancel my order because of the slow processing. If you're having a sale and you know demand is going to peak during that time then you should prepare for that. I've got a thing about spending my money. Didn't take em a hot second to grab the money but it'll probably take em another week to give it back. Anyway...on to Nairobi

Did you track your order on the site. In your confirmation email you should have received an order number and on her home page there is a place where you can track your order progress. All you have to do is enter your email address from your paypal account in which you paid (or if you didn't use paypal enter the contact email address you gave her) and your order number and it should tell you whether your item has been shipped or not. This also where she list you tracking number and if you paid through paypal she will also send it via your paypal email address. She usually takes 5-10 days to ship it out and you get it within 12. She's a one woman show, so it usually takes her the max 12 days. I hoped this helped clarify things a bit. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.

Yep, tracked it on the site but the status of my order never changed from "on order". Maybe it's just me but that didn't seem like progress to me and I'm impatient like that and kind of fickle when it comes to new stuff. Anyway, it's okay and my crowning glory will do just fine. Might order some other time when it's not sure peak sales time...might not.

Darcy's is slow too.
She should state order processing and shipping estimates in her site because while some might not mind waiting, others will. Give me the option of choosing to wait. Personally, I wouldn't mind waiting if I have all my regular products at home.

Do y'all have any tips or tricks for dealing with new growth between relaxers?
My hair is between chin length and SL, there's about an inch of new growth, and I work out 5 days a week (meaning I sweat out any flat ironing I've done).

i was just going to ask you did you get any word on your order yet. i haven't gotten anything either and i am considering canceling mine too. it took me a year to decide to order SD and now i am just waiting. i have ordered from other companies that hand make their products, but this is too long for me as well. as much money as i spent i could have just gotten some more stuff from Nairobi.

when i ordered the estimates were from 5 to 10 business days. a week later, it changed to 7-14 business days. Qhemet and Oyin can be slow too. but it seems like that product hasn't even been processed yet, let alone ready to be shipped.

I'm a Qhemet Biologics fanatic and I can get her products locally. The city and suburbs. I've also ordered a lot of the other natural brands from Sage Naturalceuticals. They seem to carry almost all of the natural brands except SD and shipping times are pretty fast.
