I think my hair is growing pretty fast from when I cut it off. The first pic is from
May 31:

The second picture is from July 1 (forgot to take a picture at the end of June):

What y’all think?

@ItsMeLilLucky You are getting some good growth there, girl!

Half these conditioners I have been trying are just pure trash. They do nothing for my hair and don't make my hair feel any different at all. But I like that I've gotten to a point in my hair journey where I know what works and have been able to try things without going through a long drawn out trial and error. So now I can go back to my staples and think about other things I might want to try.

On another note, a leave in spritz I made with water, glycerin and a tiny drop of argan oil has done wonders for single strand knots. I have a habit of playing with the hair right above my ear - the very edges of my hair. They are always always knotted on the ends but lately that part is smooth all the way down. I don't think I've ever run my fingers over this area and felt it smooth all the way to the end. I have been spritzing this area twice a day (something I used to do when I was a newbie to my hair journey) with my spray because the oil has sulphur and I worry about dryness. Those 2 things have been a miracle together. Originally I was only trying to duplicate the rosewater and glycerin spray I bought but what I made seems to be even better! So I'm happy there.

Took these twists down today and this is the first twistout that I haven't hated on my fine hair. Why do all undiluted products flake on me? And how can I stop this madness. Urrrghhh

That's what my Grandmother says all the time...quoting commercials! That was my first thought when I saw your post . The excitment fit so well.

Thank you! Due to product flakes, It's already gone to where all failed styles go...the puff. Or in my case, the banana clip. I need to rinse this hair out but I couldn't bring myself to destroy it tonight lol.

Just another up do aka "roll, tuck and pin" not freshly moisturized, but good enough until I re-moisturize.

I love this! Did you do single twists or flat twists? How long did you have them in?

Twisted on wet, damp, or dry hair?

Thank you! @Dee-Licious. I did about 30 or so single twists on freshly washed hair that was wet/damp. I left the twists in for 2 days.

Do you guys wear bangs with your natural hair. I wore some the other day and I loved it.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

@NowIAmNappy Pretty and elegant. Looks so soft to the touch. The moisture is coming though the camera. Lush.

I've been wearing the folded under bangs. You put a pin in yours to hold them back and fluffed forward Right? I gotta try that someday with an up do.

Yep you got it right, just a bobby to hold it back and fluffed. and I know you aint talking about lush hair with all that gorgeousness you just posted up thread <3. I'm about to steal one of your tuck and roll styles.

Hola Mamasitas!!!

Ok so it's finally wash day. A long awaited wash day.

My ride or die Hollywood Beauty Cholesterol AS USUAL. I mix mine with melted Shea butter, keratin protein, wheat protein and a little water. I'm mixing in the kitchen every wash day. I put kiddy Barrettes on my ends as you can see washing in twists. Look at my ends though, fresh. Last trim April 1st.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

Right now I'm sitting with my heat cap on for an hour or later if I'm too lazy to take it off.

I been using this heat cap since 2008! It had not died on me yet LOL! Once I rinse this DC out i will take a pic of my wet fro. See y all in an hour.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

I posted the above in Random thoughts and thought I should have posted it here instead.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

My hair is the same as wearing a wool hat (in the Summer).

Marking my spot since I'm transitioning from texlaxed to natural again. So far I am 7.5 months post my last texlaxer and have almost a year before I chop off the old texlaxed hair.

I almost forgot I posted in here. So now I'm 42 weeks post my last texlaxer and have 36 more to go to the big chop. I might do it sooner, but not sure yet. I will update if I do sooner.

I think I will be letting a stylist cut my hair down about 4 inches sometime this month and work on another 3 inches in the following 3 months. I should have all the texlaxed ends off in about 8 or 9 months. I'm too chicken to do a big chop right now.

I haven’t washed my hair in 3 wks. I’m just resetting with a quick wash in the shower with product if needed in a puff . I think today my hair smelled like mold??

Rinsed the DC out finally. First pic of completely wet hair, nothing special. Put it back in twists. Mini length check of side hairs.

Your hair is so pretty!

 

[LdyKamz]

So how can I safely wear puffs without hurting my hair? My hair seems to like to be loose because when I wear puffs, buns (when my hair is longer) or anything where I have to pull my hair back I am rewarded with a broken nape and bald spot at the top of my head every single time it never fails. I've got a handle on how not to get a bald spot at the top but my hair on the sides and back? It does not like having anything on it. But my hair is long enough now for a decent puff and wearing it any other way looks weird. I have no idea what to do.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

Your hair is so pretty!

Thank you. Likewise! Funny, I was just staring at your pic a few minutes ago in the Sulphur Oil thread like . And here you are telling me the same!

I'm about to get down with this sulphur oil tonight!
