Hi ladies. EnExitStageLeft left a comment up thread regarding layers in the hair. I recently thought about how my hair will look with layers and wondered if any of you have layers? If so, does having layers effect your length negatively? I think I would really enjoy having layers once all my hair reach BSL and with my longest layers reaching MBL. What are your thoughts on this??

I want layers as well once I reach MBL. So I'll answer this question in 2015-my goal for MBL :)

I had layers for all of 6 months and them sucka's was gone. I won't cut them again until Im WL. I loved them though. My curls framed my face alot more and my hair always seemed to lay right without me actually trying.

Isn't it awesome? I wonder how she came up with it.

I found these items at a local BSS:

I had my sister register with Nairobi as a professional so I can purchase from the pro line. She just told the distributor that I'm her assistant and will be making her orders and told him that he can communicate with me. I can't wait to get products from both the Pamper and Recovery lines!!!

Good for you:). I can get all of Nairobi products on the ground here in Texas. I'm not sure about the relaxers though. My stylist uses Influance relaxer system. I'm not a fan of all of Nairobi products. I just like the Foam Wrap Lotion and the Humecta-Sil .
Is it hard to find Nairobi products in other parts of the US?

Yep, great choice of products.

I got my Nairobi Humecta-Sil yesterday. It smelled so good I needed to wash my hair today to try it out. I'm under my heatcap right now. I love the way it felt on my hair. Is this protein or moisture or both? I can't wait to rinse it out it felt like silk going on!

I'm getting ready to shampoo and DC with it right now and then do a few celie braids for my new wig!!!

Here is a pic from the store mannequin. I bought it in #2. shortdub78 I went to the Canterbury Mall Beauty Supply. This has got to be the biggest wig/weave warehouse in the State!

YASS Honey, lol. Some of the best techniques I have found for self-care or DIY for hair have been from the "other persuasions," especially the Caucasians and Indian women into caring for and growing long, long hair.

They actually do a lot of the things we do on this forum, except relaxing and such...but co-washing, m&s'ing, oil rinsing, putting sulfur oil and miconazole nitrate on the scalp for growth, taking biotin, etc they do! I discovered Feye's Method a long time ago and funnily enough I was already attempting to trim my own hair using a similar technique before even discovering Feye's Method like 11 yrs ago.

I loved my layers when I had them years ago, but they grew out so fast I had to constantly trim them up. I wouldn't mind having just a few later on down the line, but I will have to learn to cut them myself using a mannequin head...I just am afraid of SHS.

Cattypus1

See nah, you and xu93texas gon' have me making a stop by the BSS for that Humecta-Sil... :lachen: AS IF I don't have enough product already!!

Yes, it is a combination of both moisture and protein. It does go on so smooth! It has lots of slip and great for detangling! Let us know the results:)

Yes, go for it! Wigs are awesome for PS! I do it 99% of the time.

i'm going to be hiding my hair as well. I have some Indique Salon Relaxed hair that I want to have installed for my birthday or have someone make a wig for me.

You know this thread isn't a good place to hang out if you're a recovering PJ!! Beware! :).

That Humecta-Sil is good stuff. I think I only paid $7.99 for my bottle. If you buy, please let us know how it works out.

Yes, yes and YES!!! I just washed my hair and now I'm sitting with it in my head under my processing cap, satin bonnet and silk scarf. I didn't feel like steaming today. The smell and slip is unbelievable! My stylist used it on me but I never touch my hair with it on. I'm very impressed!

Yes I think you should do it because it should be a win, win. I like full cap wigs because I don't want to manipulate any of my hair while wearing it. If my edges can handle it long term, I'm going to wig it 365. I just ordered a satin beanie cap to wear underneath so not to damage my edges even though I'll only wear it a few hours out of the day when I'm out.

KiWiStyle, Cattypus1, EnExitStageLeft, shortdub78, yoli184, soonergirl, SunySydeofLyfe, Altruisticoam,

The UPS man just dropped off my Toji Pure Density vitamins. I hope these help me get back to SL . I'm going to take these faithfully until the end of the year. We'll see. I'm currently 8 weeks post and relaxing around 15 weeks post. I hope to get another 1.5 inch.

OAN, isn't crazy when you're excited about seeing the UPS man? My hubby was looking at me crazy:) I'm definitely a PJ.

My USPS carrier's daughter was one of my students, so she does me extra right. She'll leave my packages on the back porch, so that neighbors can't see them from the road. Sometimes if she can she'll call me to let me know I have something on the way :lachen:.

Wait, I had one of these wigs. I had the First Lady. I loved this wig. The next one I get will be the 10-12 inch one. You are going to like it .

So you already know how beautiful it is! Yes, I'm getting 1012 and 810 for the cooler months. I chose the Duby over First Lady because of the nice layers and its cooler for the Summer.
