Well I'll be a pigs butt, YOU MADE IT CUTER! I love bangs and it goes quite nicely with your face shape!! And I naturally have bush man brows and have to wax them. I do them myself and I know how to thread, but that joint HURTS! Waxing is about as painful as it can get for me lol.

LOL, thanks. You're lucky to have nice thick brows, I'm jealous. I have mine waxed too and a hair or two off in the the wrong spot could be disastrous.

Okay so y'all know I've been in a fight and my jar of Linange tipped the scale in my favor...temporarily. Yesterday, I was still ready to shave my head. I decided that I needed a haircut but if I went to the guy who normally cuts my hair I would wearing a bob or shorter! Tried to do it myself using Feye's method...bad move! Ended up with an inverted "u"...LOL! Good thing I'm fairly flexible...I took off about an inch and it feels pretty good now.

Your hair looks great, nothing like blunt ends to get my heart pumping. If I put my last LC photo side by side with yours, one would swear its the same head. HAIR TWIN!!

What happened with the hot six oil? My new growth is super thick right now and I can't wait to relax in a few weeks
 
started my 10 month stretch on saturday by installing some braids. i am really excited about seriously stretching for the first time. I am going to reevaluate where I am come December, which is 5 months away. Hopefully I'm SL by then!! *crossing fingers* I want to see where I am NG wise by April though. If I am APL, I'm gonna relax probably. If not, I'll probably continue stretching or just go natural. Not sure yet.

What I need help in now is how to keep my hair in good shape like in braids/twists.
 
It's time to Shampoo and I DO NOT feel like fighting with with my NG and tangles :-(. I'm thinking my hair is overly moisturized so I'm going to do a heavy protein with Nexxus Emergencee.

Does anyone know if I can avoid shampoo and do a CW instead before a protein treatment? I can do an ACV rinse to get rid of build up from my hair and scalp. I just can't deal with the tangles that shampoo causes this late in my stretch.

Just dilute your shampoo w/ water (If you have hard water use distilled or bottled water) or if you want to lessen the pH you can use AVJ. I would add AVJ to my stripping shampoo's in college to help with the stripping and tangling.

Also, wash in sections rather then all at once. I was in two sections. One on the right and one on the left and I always wash in one direction.

I don't think I have hard water. My shampoos are all sulfate free but they all still cause my fine strands to tangle on themselves. I don't have AVJ and I really just want to use what I already have. Maybe I can mix my shampoo with something moisturizing??

Whew girl you already know. My hair is in 4 braids under my wig and I wash it in four braids. I still get a few tangles even though I take my sweet time washing and detangling. I even hold my length while I cleanse my scalp. I promised I would never stretched beyond 12 weeks again and here I am...

Do you detangle before hand? If not, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! lol I had to type scream to show how serious it is. I use a oil,nothing detangles my hair like a smooth oil.

Deeper into my relaxer stretch, I detangle with oil and conditioner. Basically, I DC on dry hair for 15-20 minutes; rinse; shampoo; rinse; tea rinse under DC for 15-20 w/heat; rinse; apply leave ins. I actually did this yesterday and I had no issues.
 
Hey guys I haven't been on here in months!!! Just wanted to post a quick update of my hair journey. The last time I was on here I was a bit discourage due to a setback cause by a scissor happy stylist. Well I learned my lesson and will never let any or everybody trims my ends ever again. Well anyways I stretched my relaxer from October to July and this is the results I received

Relaxer in October this is four months after the hack job trim. I found a stylist who listened to my concerns and trimmed it exactly how I wanted it wore protective styles and my hair started to flourish

Thanks :). I plan on relaxing again in feb, this stretch was really easy for me. I used Weave and braid outs as my PS and it really helped me successfully stretch that long

Wash day so far is a huge hit! I'm under my steamer right now DC with Humecti-Sil, Roux PC and QB Olive & Honey Hydrating Balm. The best combo in the world!!

Plan to DC with Humecti-Sil and Original Colors Cellophane (Clear) after poo washing. My hi-po hair needs a little pick-me-up.
 
^^^ sounds like a grand plan..getting some humecti sil, and Clear rinses always give your hair a boost...

The Humecta-sil will do more than pick you up!! As I rinsed the DC out, it was so soft and smooth that I literally had to check and make sure it wasn't melting off my scalp. If you haven't steamed with this stuff, you're missing out. .
