I hope you feel better and today is Sunday. I'm going to have a good day today. I started cleaning up. Cleaning up gives me a sense of control over things. I cleaning the windows! I'm going to get my nails done today too!
Your hair looks too cute for you to be stressing! Go play in it! Lol make a music video! Lol

You're sooo sweet lol. I got my nails done yesterday. I think I will clean up too. A clean space makes me feel like a new person
@beingofserenity I hope you're feeling better.
I was up this morning taking @shortdub78 advice. I was in the mirror playing in my hair and acting silly. I'm about to go do some yoga and stretch these muscles.
But y'all I love my hair. I got it so much straighter this time around. I used it's a 10 with keratin leave in, design essentials botanical oils and Paul Mitchell Super skinny serum on damp hair before I blow dried. My hair got so stinking straight even the ends.
Then I added design essentials silk Essentials and chi silk infusion before I flat ironed. I don't like the Chi silk infusion. I think that's why my hair was so weighed down. Next time I'll use more silk Essentials if I feel like I need it. I also used the comb chase method with no injuries and that helped a lot.

It looks good.
You should add this to your 1st post of the challenge so in December you have a good comparison. This can be your starting picture.

I would like to try the items you used to blowdry
I want to say the oil is what helped this time around because I've brrn using the leave in and skinny serum. But I can't be sure. I've slowly been tweaking my blow drying and flat iron process until it's exactly how the girls on YouTube get it - pin straight with body.

I don't like CHI Serum either. It makes my hair dry. Your hair looks like glass!

It still looks very neat. I'm not just saying that.

Always left of center
Thank you.
I already took it out though LOL. The style itself was fine, I just should have parted it all the way back.

I love freshly washed and conditioned hair. A week is as long as I can go.
My hair is in a bun and will REMAIN in this same bun until Sunday. I may readjust, but I will not recomb or brush. I will use my hands, a scarf and gel to re-smooth when necessary.
I've found I don't need as much gel as I used to use. Just enough to smooth flyaways and lay edges, so hopefully my hair won't dry out.

I was testing out a flat twist out today to see if it would work for an event this weekend. I love the front and sides but the back won't work 
It's still too short and it's less dense back there so you see a lot of parts and scalp. Then I end up having to separate the twist to much which causes loss of definition and it looks raggedy. So I'm shooting for a flat twist up the back towards the crown with curls in the front. I will be taking some bobby pins with me just in case.

Thank you. I loved the front and this was after letting the wind whip through it. But the back made me cry
