I feel ya on that @sofash! I'm hoping to be full APL by the end of the year so I'm keeping my hair braided up. Are you doing anything else besides PSing?

not really. i cut back on washing, and heat and all i really do is oil my scalp and occassionaly spray leave in conditioner on my braids
 
As promised here is my story, I still can't stop crying and thanking God. I just copied and pasted this from my FB page which is why it says today.

Today I experienced the worst few minutes of my life. I sent Triniti off with my friend, Triniti's BFF and another friend for a girls day out shopping and lunch. About an hour later I received a call from my friend crying hysterically saying there was an accident. I asked her if my baby and everybody was ok but she just cried and cried. I started yelling telling her to tell me my child is ok but all she did was cry hysterically and telling me I was making her nervous. At that time my husband came to the door asking what happened. I just gave him the phone because my friend never reassured me that my baby was ok and I was freaking out, I was terrified to hear what she would say once she finally collected herself. My husband went back outside to talk and I collapsed to my knees near the door and just started praying. When I was done I went back to the door just to search Rory's face for signs my baby/everyone was ok. He looked at me and shook his head YES. THANK YOU JESUS!!! I felt for what seemed like an eternity that my baby was gone...I never want to feel like this ever, ever again.

UNDERSTAND THIS:
If you ever have to tell another person that there was a car accident or any other type of incident where someone could be seriously injured or killed but they weren't, PLEASE first and foremost assure that person that everyone and specifically their loved one is just fine and if you are too upset, leave that task to someone else. Say something like this: everybody is just fine, don't worry but.... By the way, my friend never calmed down enough to tell us anything. The fireman on the scene took her phone and reassured Rory that all was well and there were just a few scrapes, bruises and a bloody lip between the four of them. I'm thankful tonight that my friend and the girls are doing fine. So tonight my baby gets anything she wants. She even tried to juice me for an iPhone...ummm, I don't think so baby girl but mommy love you dearly so instead you can watch the Disney Channel until you pass out! She is so happy to be home. She said, "I'm just happy to be home where I feel safe". She could never imagine just how happy I am.

I'm still haunted with the thought of what might have been and can't seem to shake that feeling. I keep asking God to remove it from my mind and heart because it makes me cry all over again. Today was the first time my daughter has left my sight since Saturday evening, I can't wait to pick her up from school today. I hug and kiss her more, I watch her sleep and kiss her some more and tell her how much I love her more which should be impossible because this is what we do all day anyway. This was one nightmare i'm blessed to have wakened from.

jprayze, ok I am def joining the MN challenge. Ur hair growth is crazy!:spinning: How do you mix ur MN? I have been watching YT on this but alot of the ladies mix it with water. I rather it be with oil. Can you look at my mixture: 1 tube of MN, 1oz of coconut oil, 1oz WGHO, 1/2 oz of argon oil. I plan on starting in November. I am going to order the MN online. I am just too embarrassed to purchase it in person.:lol: I can just see myself trying to explain to the cashier that its not for ms. kitty it's for my hair:lachen:
Click to expand...

Yes, it is crazy! Like people that have known me for a while are doing weave checks on me, saying is that all your hair? I really dont like wearing it out so much now...so it's making it easier to PS. I think your mix looks good. I use WGHO with mine too and I think the WGHO may be contributing too. My mix was a 1 oz tube of MN with enough apricot oil and WGHO to make about 2.5 oz total volume and a few drops of peppermint oil. I started at the beginning of Sept and still have quite a bit left. I try not to make too big a batch of it, but I really dont use a lot.

Right now, I'm using MN directly once a day because I don't want the excess oil on my straightened hair weighing it down. I'll go back to the mix when I wash my hair again.

Amen KiWiStyle! I am happy for you and your family that everyone is home safe.

I still wish when I received the call about my sister that she too was safe yet she is now with God. She was my ONLY SISTER and I miss her very very much. It is two years tomorrow that we set her ashes at sea.

May God Continue to Keep You and Your Family Safe :wink2:
 
Thanks ladies for all the emotional support. I actually feel better now that I have shared this with people, God has already began the healing process. livinthevida I am so very sorry for your loss :-(. It must be so hard dealing with the loss of a sister, I pray that God continue to heal your heart and soul and give you peace.

That's great progress! Just to see that you hair is actually growing and retaining is awesome and longer periods of times are helpful to look at the overall progress!

How are you caring for your hair under the weave?
 
So I love looking at comparison pics...same bun using same foundation 6 months later. I love MN for growth, but PSing for retaining is giving me Everything!

If you haven't already, consider joining the buns, twists, braids challenge :-)
