Rocky91, Welcome!! I luv the color and the cut. Your hair is beautiful.

Livingthevida do you wet your hair everyday? Are you natural? I started working out on my lunch breaks, but before I had the minibraids so sweating wasn't a problem. Now I wear my hair in braidouts. I haven't worked out in a month & I want to start back up again. Do you re-braid your hair when you workout?

pelohello Yes! I work out 6 days a week (rest on Sundays!) yet I've moved my workouts to the morning now that I have a hair dryer :grin: helps me get out the door that much quicker. I am ol' natural haven't relaxed in over 10 years. Plus I do a cool rinse after my workouts there's no shampoo here as I have all the OCO and Moisturizer I rinse weekdays. When working out I like to have all my hair loose when wearing the Conditioning Cap - lots of sweat but I feel SO GREAT afterwards :yep:
 
Damn Ninjas! Back up off me. I ain't claming diddly squat and you can't make me!!

Ok you can be an undercover ninja:)
Gonna coat my hair in a mix of EVOCO &WGO today (no bag) bun it and tie it up in my durag then DC tomorrow morning on dry hair for hrs no heat. Use my Silk Elements leave in and seal with Vatika oil. Il be redoing my minis next weekend.
Oh and im gonna try out this coffee oil on my scalp and hope it slows down all the pp shedding
 
Hey, this is going to sound weird but when all my hair is pulled back it's apl almost bsl, but when it's not it is approaching apl? Perhaps that is some sort of layering effect? I'm going to go look in the mirror again..but i don't think i am apl? I'm going to try and find an opportunity to upload a picture as I don't currently have a camera or camera device before Sunday when I get installed box braids.

so I tried the shescentit tahitian vanilla leave in spray. It makes my hair wet but I think I used too much because I was trying to get all my new growth. The directions do say to use as a leave in after a wash so i think when I wash tonight I will try it that way. For now I am loving the DB Transitioning creme A LOT better for my NG. I used the Shescentit spray and then the DB and then the hairveda vatika frosting to seal. THe lengths feel soft by the NG is more on the hard side. I shall experiment and see what works best. I really want this product to work for my hair and it SMELLS SO GOOD!
 
lovebug10, that leave-in sounds good. Where did you get it from?

Any weekend hair plan ladies?

I plan on attempting to do a tea rinse then DC till Sunday, cowash and then a braid out.

Hmmm...that's kinda odd. I can't really picture it in my head AlwaysNatural. Do you mean pulled back behind your ears or pulled back in a ponytail?
 
Hold up. How is it that I'm out this thread for a week, trying to catch up and Nikki is APL? :congrats: This is what I get for being lazy. '

Bye Nikki :bye:

Signed

Same here AlwaysNatural! my hair has many lengths when completely dry and no roller-set it is very short :hair: after a roller-set it rests on my shoulders, when completely wet from the shower my hair is right at APL, yet for the last 2 length checks I did a pull test on dry hair to show my length :spinning:

ALL THIS and still I'm able to show I am at APL :lol:

I am SO looking forward to wash day tomorrow. It's been a long time in the making. I feel a protein treatment in my future.
 
I have been so MIA. But I had my wash day yesterday, and today I actually styled it. I still can't do bantu knots, they just wont stay! So, I have like pinned twists in my hair, I am really style-challenged unless it's a twist-out/braid-out.
 
Seamonster I used to be an inch and a half from APL but i hated by ends so I snipped off an inch and a half I still have one inch of pre-hhj thin ends. They'll need to go eventually but my heart can't take so much cutting. I'll probably still be in the challenge in 2013. LOL
 
I need to wear my wig. But I'm relaxing soon with a Super Lye relaxer. I want to cornrow but I'm scared for my scalp. What do you think?
 
I'm 10 weeks post and plan to get a touch up at 12 or 13 weeks post. My hair is a lot softer and straighter since I finally moisturized and oiled my scalp yesterday. I had been neglecting my hair when I know I shouldn't but I wasn't home for about a week and didn't have any of my hair products and didn't know I wasn't going to be home. My boyfriend commented on how thick my hair has gotten and says he did not like when it was thin. He doesn't think I need to relax but I feel my hair is doing better than when it was in its natural state just a few months earlier.

Oh mer gherd! I hate my hair in PS. I only had these twists in for a week tomorrow and I already wanna rip them out. My hair likes to be out. I like my hair OUT. It'll probably take me a long time to get to APL, but I hate Protective styling. It's for the birds! Birds I tell you!

Gonna take these twists out, then put them in Celie's.

That's funny, I'm the total opposite. I can't stand my hair out anymore. Hopefully I'll get over my phobia after I reach full APL.
