I am trying to master the texlaxed wash n go...it looks pretty good today (I need to take pics) but my hair is soooooo dull, like, ZERO shine and it drives me crazy lol...I am 5 weeks post and the NG isn't that bad right now, but when I may go ahead and throw some twists/braids in if the 2 textures start to get too much during my stretch.

Tonight, I am going to baggy and put in my sulfur mix to see if I can get 2nd day hair.

My hair is dull too. I was thinking about starting a thread asking for shine tips. My hair is a dusty shade of brown and it doesn't reflect light at all :(
 
  • Pre-poo'd with Avon Frizz Control for 30 minutes under heat cap & CW'd it out.
  • Rinsed out 80% of the Tresemme Moisture Rich.
  • LCOB'd: L = Aphogee Curlific; C = Kurlee Belle Leave In; O = Mielle Organics Almond Mint on scalp & Annabelle's Safflower on length; B = Siamese Twists Pracaxi Peach ButterCreme on ends.

Glad I'm not the only one! My hair is soooooo dull. It makes it look less healthy, to ME, anyway :(

Maybe your could try a semi permanent clear gloss or clear rinse. I just add mine to my deep conditioner once ever month or when I remember

I really like this idea, have you heard of the Sebastian cellophanes? I heard it has a lot of nutrients as well, may buy that for my next DC

I DID not get 2nd day hair lol...I think I put too much water in the baggy method, it came out a mushy mess. I rinsed with a bit of condish and then moisturized with Eden's Bodyworks and it's in a bun now. I have to say, I like the textured bun, it looks full and nice. I can see myself rocking a bun for awhile, actually and I remember back in the day on the board, a LOT of women made it to WL bunning.

Are you still wearing plaits under a wig?
 
I did a Matrix black demi-permanent color on my hair this morning

I used Time Reset shampoo followed by an aloe vera juice/wheat germ oil rinse combo

I deep conditioned with Time Reset Youth Revitalizer Treatment

Moisturized with Oyin Hair Dew sealed with a combination of ceramide oils.

I'm wearing a bun today and most likely will be wigging it sometime next week.
 
I dc'd a couple days ago. First I prepooed with acv, avj, and coconut oil. Then I warmed up some Shea moisture manuka honey dc mixed with evoo and mayo. I just layered it over the prepoo for couple hours then used heat like 15min. My hair felt amazingly soft yet strong. Still does.
 
While on vacation Friday/Saturday, I CW'd with KJ's Natural Raspberry Cocoa & HQ Lime, 80% rinse out of ACV & hotel conditioner. LCOS'd with L = Bee Mine Juicy/Cozy Moment Vanilla Waffle Cone; C = Curly Kinks Satin Roots; O = Keravada Raspberry Vanilla on length & Mielle Organics Mint Almond on scalp & S = S-curl.

Last night & today:
  • Pre-poo'd overnight with Ojon Reverse Damage on length, Coconut Oil on ends & AVJ spritz.
  • DC'd under heat cap for a little over an hour with ST Afrotastic.
  • Shampoo'd with TJ's Tea Tree Tingle, CW'd with HQ Lime, Reconstructed with Garnier & 80% rinse out of ACV & TGIN Replenishing.
  • LCOSB'd with L = Aphogee Curlific; C = FUBU Curl Elongator; O = Keravada Raspberry Vanilla on length & Mielle Organics Mint Almond on scalp; S = S-curl; B = Siamese Twists Peach Pracaxi ButterCreme on ends.

I see a little growth, not as much as I would like but growth is growth ! :amen:

Lovely hair!!!

I've conquered cornrows ENOUGH to make flat ones under a wig that last longer than 48 hours, so I've been doing that the past few days. I really need a new wig(s) though...may go wig shopping this weekend.

Tonight I am planning on making a new batch of my sulfur mix and spritzing with aloe, then covering the whole thing up with a baggy overnight.

Still looking forward to the July 30th T/U...I'm nervous I won't see any growth, but we'll see!
 
Washed and Conditioned my hair with suave professionals and used my red-ken hair mask. Air dried 80% and blow dried the rest then had my mom braid my hair up.

I've been spraying my hair with S-Curl to keep it moisturized under my wigs hopefully my hair likes it.
 
I straightened and trimmed my hair tonight. I took off 1/2 inch from most sections, and 1 inch from the crown since it was the longest section.

I blowdried each section with Kerastase Keratin Thermique and flat ironed on 350. I have pics, but my battery is too low for flash. I'll post pics of the color tomorrow.20160616_010801-1.jpg
My hair is right under brastrap when stretched and my shorter layers are finally apl. It's wavy from the pincurls
 
Nice job @Prettymetty very pretty. My flat iron lasted 3 days (sitting in flexi rods as we speak) in this Southern humidity and I know its worse in TX. How do you make yours last ?

Looked at pics from the beginning of the challenge and realized how far my hair has really gone. I've gotten two good inches despite cutting 1-2 inches in March. I am still on track ! Been going back and forth on whether I should claim BSL since my BS is at 10 and I have hair at 12 (length shirt) but ill wait until next length check and hopefully majority of my hair will be there. I am back on my grind :)
 
Saturday I am going to my BFF and get my hair done. I will be getting these disrespectful grays colored using SM Color System in Jet Black (had to use my 1 pass from the no-buy challenge). I will be using Olaplex as part of the coloring process. Still undecided on how to style but will get a trim of about 1/4 inch as well.
 
My coworker brought me a bottle of Biosilk today and it smells so good. I put a little on my hair before I wrapped it up. The ac is broken at work so the middle of my hair has reverted like 50%. All I can do is wear buns now
 
Soo I have found 3 SSK on ONE strand and then I found 6 on one strand.

What am I doing wrong?

I stopped doing wash and goes, I'm sealing my ends with Shea butter.

Should I should just leave it be?
 
  • Pre-poo'd overnight with AVJ spritz & Siamese Twists Pracaxi Peach ButterCreme on ends.

  • Scrubbed scalp with CC's Natural, CW'd with HQ Lime, Reconstructed with Garnier, rinsed out 80% ACV & TGIN Replenishing Conditioner.
