Okay lamaria211 and NikkiQ~

I see y'all ladies are doing your thing with the mini braids. I love the look and I know it is a fierce way to PS. My question is ... how are y'all finding the patience to braid all of those little braids?! I think I would lose it if I tried to. :crying3: I am want to try something new very soon. I am going to take this weekend and throw some twists (with extensions) in because I am a die hard PS fan. I am going to leave those suckers in until mid-July and then it is on to the next. lamaria211, forgive me if you have addressed this, but how long did it take for you to complete your install? NikkiQ, please let me know when you complete yours and how long it took for the install.

Thank you both :yep: in advance. :clapping:

Fyne cute hairstyle

I am day 4 of my 14 day baggy. My scalp is itching, so I may not make it much longer. I tried, it is hard to give up that daily wash even for a short period.

Fyne, :yay: for all the positivity going on in your life. Congratulations! Your up-do looks really nice. I am always a fan of messy dos (half up, half down).

From my last touch up. :blush: The hair reveal at the end of a stretch makes it so worth it. :yep: I don't really stretch though, every 3 months. Trying to get to every 4 months for 2013, if the world does not end. :look:

I think once I get these mini braids in, I'm leaving these suckers in for a hot minute. It's pretty hot here and manipulating my hair everyday is just not gonna do it for me. Plus I wanna focus all my attention on starting my online crafting business so being able to throw the braids into a ponytail and forget about it for the day will be the best.

No more length checks for me until next month or so. I wanna be surprised when I take these suckers down :yep:

NikkiQ Congratulations on starting your online business! I've crocheted yarn for years at least since high school. I'm already yarning this winter's scarf and gloves as family gifts this Holiday season.

What types of crafts do you plan to sell? I'm BUYING! to support a fellow LHCF lady!

UltraSwim Chlorine Removal Shampoo is a very gentle shampoo that will help with chlorine removal. I've been swimming a lot too and use it after every time I go to the pool. It doesn't tangle the hair.
Aside: I have accepted that I will need a trim come the end of summer. Haven't had a trim since January/February so in August or early September I will do a well needed trim.

Meritamen I haven't trimmed since January 2012 too and am wondering if I will need one this Summer once I reach my 6 month HHJ Anniversary. I had no idea what I was doing in January just simply cut straight for even ends and the results were pretty good thank goodness :lol:

How much might you trim?

Deuces NikkiQ! What DC do you apply to your hair? You have a lot of volume here!

Lol @ "deuces". You know I had to pose when DH took the pic. I mixed Curl Junkie's Deep Fix and Curl Rehab with some SofnFree GroHealthy triple layer growth oil. Left it on over night.

I'm gonna do mostly jewelry and hair accessories. Being out here in PR might be hard to sell home decor and wedding crafts.

^^^Just got back from dinner. Had some yummy local foods. Our friends were very shocked to see my hair. I told them I would braid it, but I guess they didn't think it would be done so soon :lol:
 
I bought my first half wig today. It's like a braidout so I don't actually have to do braidouts all the time. Too much manipulation.
