Hey ladies,
How are u all? I thought id come by to show u guys my new protective style. I was sick of bunning Every. Single. Day. for the last 5 weeks so I asked my roomie to experiment (GENTLY) on my hair (11 weeks post) for a new style. We found some jumbo braiding hair in our closet n went to work :-) .. I love how it came out, it looks so natural n at least 10 ppl have complemented on how "long" my hair is lol. she put them in on Monday (this pic is from Wednesday) and I plan on keeping my piggytails until Sunday :yep: this style has a great chance in turning into 1 of my go-to weekly PS's.

I think I might just have to steal this idea and just add more hair to the ends because I'm getting tired of these buns too. Although I must say that I bunned 4 days ago and it's still going strong with just a light brushing in the morning :)

I love how your braids came out!
 
I've been mia from this thread for awhile (real life has gotten in the way!!), but am trying to get back on top of my hair game, and i think I'm close to reaching APL, yay!! Pics below are from yesterday, hopefully (touch wood) I can claim APL by the time of my next touch up in September..

p.s. @NikkiQ - I LOVE the pic in your siggy!!! Could literally stare at it for days :grin:


Congrats on APL. You been APL for awhile. You are past APL in the picture.
 
Guys I gelled my hair today but I don't want to wear it like that tomorrow. I henna'd my hair two days ago. But I'm due for a chelator. Is it too soon?
 
I tried Kinky Curly Curling Custard but I got this wet curl look. Is that what is supposed to happen? I like my hair a bit fluffier looking.

This hair stuff can be hard!!!
 
Hello Ladies,

Been lurking for a minute. But I think I need to start posting again. Going through issues with my hair.

I am bored and want to try extensions, I am not bored and will miss my hair.
I want to wash weekly, I want to try every 2 weeks to reduce manipulation.
I want to use heat, I do not want to use heat.
I want to stretch my relaxers from 3 months to 6 months, I do not want to stretch.
I want to trim my hair to even it out, I do not want to trim to keep my length

I go back and forth in my mind it is driving me crazy. :spinning: How do you ladies keep at a reggie? Ugh. I am going to post thoughts here more. It might keep me sane.

Nikki, do you wear your celies out or do you cover them up with wigs?

If I'm going shopping,running errands or out to eat I usually throw on a wig. If I'm going hang with friends at the beach or hiking in the rain forest...Celie pigtails and a wide headband all day :lol: with the occasional hat.

Sent from my Android...Boom.
 
Back to bunning it again. It's one of my favorite protective styles. I also want to try pin curls on my real hair soon. Last time and the only time I did pin curls was when I had my sew in.
 
DCing right now with Deva Curl Heaven in Hair and Castor oil. I'm really tempted to join the NJOY Hair Concoction Challenge.... I haven't been using any growth aides consistently since using G S (before the gate) and it worked very well for me. I need something that I can use daily without smelling like a box full of hot garbage and bbq'ed meat bi-products. :look:
 
I want to say I am APL but idk because of the way my stylist took my pics over the cover up I was wearing. Then it was rollerset bump curl then flop

Anyway I have an updated picture for you all... I feel like I'm making some serious progress lol
