Chronically at BSL -_-
I made the mistake of taking my braids out (that I wear under my wig) and then I shampooed it and threw some conditioner in it and wore it in a WnG BIG MISTAKE my hair was so tangled today, I learned my lesson! I don't think I had a major setback or anything.
I also bought 2 new products from the Motions Naturally You line, the moisturizing cleanser and the Hydrate my Curls pudding. I rinsed, conditioned and used the pudding and sealed with JBCO and did 10-12 fat twists. I NEVER moisturize and seal because I'm lazy and I hate buying products, but I always figured that low-manipulation will make up for that, but the longer my hair gets, the more I need to at least do the bare minimum. Anyways, here's a pic of my hair, HHJ!

Beautifulwildflower one of your longest layers in the April pic is passing the APL line! You will reach APL
Nice hair color too! I've GOOGLED cellophane there's YouTube videos on it yet what is cellophane color?
Ok, I'm gonna get this post thing right.
Hi, i'm finally able to check in. I've been really busy this summer, nothing exciting though. The April pic was before I cut more of my perm hair off. I did little by little so I wouldn't go into shock. I think I at APL now when I stretch, I won't know for sure til I do a press in the fall.
If you haven't already looked into it, a cellophane is a semi-permanent color or clear treatment, but has no ammonia or peroxide. Color is deposited which generally washes out in 8-12 shampoos. Cellophane color is a deposit only, so it cannot lighten the hair. I decide to do temp until determined if I wanted to go permanent.

On a happy hair journey
I'm like a centimeter away from APL but have to get a trim. This will be the second trim this year but I feel it will set me back a bit. *sigh* I will be hiding my hair under wigs till the end of the year anyway. I don't even want to look at my hair at this point.

Definitely better I still love megasilk treatment but this stuff is incredible. They're both made by Silk Elements. My hair felt so good I didn't want to rinse it out but when I did it still felt like I hadn't my hair is soooo soft it felt like I put a texturizer in or something. Now I want the leave in but "I will not buy " "I will not buy " I will not buy "

I am having the same issue. Something I'm using on my hair is breaking me out. I think its the WGHO, so I am going to try to use every other day to see if that helps.

Glad I'm not the only sensitive skin person. So I skipped a day of trigger and my face feels better already. But I was looking forward to using it

I luv the wavyness in your hair. Do you air dry in bantu knots then flat iron?
Thanks. No, what I did was DC with anything I could get my hands on, washed, applied heat protectant and a dab of grease, airdried it in braids. In the morning, I flat ironed each braid section, then bantu knotted it so I wouldn't confuse that section with un-straightened hair. Once I finished, I took them all down and combed thru before snapping this picture.

This is pictures of my first time getting pin curls when they looked great.....and then when they dropped. Since I had a stylist do my hair, I went ahead and got a trim.

Needed something for my scalp since I'm taking a break from trigger. Im always taking a break from something lol...anyway I mixed about equal parts grapeseed oil with JBCO and few drops peppermint oil. It's the perfect consistency to apply to my scalp...Not too light and Not Too heavy. After the mini braids, my scalp was feeling a little dry so I massaged the oil mix in last night. I M&S the ends with the tiniest bit of water and some CDs mimosa hair honey that I am finishing up. Thinking about cowashing but im so scared my minis will unravel! I guess I just need to be careful. I want to keep them in until august 30th. That will be 3 wks...

*sigh* so tired!! Been a crazy weekend,but I made sure that my hair was taken care of. Wore wigs on Fiday and Saturday. Rocked my Celies in my beloved pigtails with a wide elastic headband to the beach yesterday. The other Coastie wives thought it was so cute lmao. I told em they'll probably only see that style when we go to the beach, waterfalls again, or to the caves.
I'm talking to my BFF to see when she thinks I should dye my hair. I'm itching to do it now,but I wanna make sure that the color is bold and fresh for my birthday trip back hom to NOLA. Maybe I can dye it now and then if I need an extra little color boost, I can just use a jar of Manic Panic which I LOVE!

You're hair look nice.
So I was bored and I decided to moisturize and seal I hair. I deffinitely used to much argan oil to seal but I want to finish the bottle so bad I don't care. I moisturized all my NG in 1-2 inch sections and then moisturized the lengths. i decided to style it by doing flat twists in the front and then pulling it all into a bun. This was my first time flat twisting so it looks a bit messy but I wont be going out much this week so I don't care. I'm going to try to leave it for the whole week.
I'm just so frustrated with my hair. I've always had retention issues and there were times I thought I was SO CLOSE to APL and I was looking at old pictures and I realized that I must have been delusional because I was deffinitely SL (barely scraping full SL).
My hairs frustrating me. maybe this break is what I need?

lamaria211 The one I have is already mixed with Sweet Almond Oil (said 100% Wheat Germ Oil on the front... liars...)
I was the best wash day ever today! Who ever thought my hair would feelb better after a relaxer?
I washed twice with Hollywood Beauty Argan Oil shampoo (will repurchase) then I co-washed with Herbal Essences Split End Conditioner. Then I put ORS Replenishing Pak on my hair (i HATE the smell - far too strong). Put a shower cap on and then my lace front. that was about 1pm I rinsed my hair about 11.50pm... I was busy. my hair was like pudding. strong pudding. Then i rinsed with ROUX Porosity Control Conditioner. I combed my hair. Then applied my WheaatGerm/SweetAlmond Oil mix to my hair.
My hair feels like cotton. It sad that I'm wigging tomorrow
