Blew out my hair yesterday and it's been in a bun ever since. Sad huh? Not entirely sure if I can pull it off, but I'm kinda thinking about doing Naptural85's best twist out ever technique tomorrow and wear it out for Thanksgiving.

KiWiStyle, I am so jelly. I want either a Sedu or Chi flat iron. Where did you purchase yours from and how much was it (if u dont mind me asking):spinning:[/QUOTE]

pelohello I purchased my Sedu at Ulta for $159 and received a free gift which includes a mini ceramic curling iron (on/off switch only), set of 3 carbon clips and a ceramic ionic hair brush.
 
Wellll here is my progress from Nov 2011 vs Nov 2012...Didn't quite make it to my overly ambitious goal of APL..sooo guess I'll be part of this challenge for atleast another 6 months....The longer my natural hair gets, the MOREEEE i want to relax! I just don't have the patience to do all this detangling...imma try to stay strong and give my natural hair one more chance! lol Hope you all have a happy turkey day :drunk:

ps: please excuse the SUPER plain face--for some reason, I never have makeup on when taking progress pics! lol I mean da*n, I could've put some lipgloss on or something! lol :kiss3:

cantu shea butter leave-in conditioner repair cream is nice so far. i only use a little. my hair is soft and moisturized. i was so scared of this product for years. a lot of people said it left white residue, can't be used with other products, and it makes the hair hard and crunchy. i didn't experience any of this. but i wouldn't use this with gel. i used it on damp and dry hair.

I have been using this for a year now and I haven't experienced any of this. I use it and seal with EVCO. My hair is relaxed and a little goes a long way. The smell is great too :)
 
APL came and went for me yet again. I swear trying to get to this length is purgatory. *sigh* I blowed dried my hair and got a trim. Miss my kinks already.

:hiya: Happy Thanksgiving Ladies!

I am grateful for all of the advice and support you all have given to this long hair newbie turned APL Ninja! :)

NikkiQ thanks for being an excellent moderator too ;)

*posting via the LHCF app hope this works!*
 
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I know I did. Hair was cute (until humidity killed it) and I didn't eat too much. Pretty proud of myself lol
 
Thanks ladies! I hope this reveal doesn't let everybody down. I'm in super protective mode to make sure I save my ends. Didn't even wear my hair down for Thanksgiving for very long :lol:
 
:hiya: I can't remember the last time I checked in (I know I missed the last length check) but I wanted to stop in for my 1 year nappiversary! Officially it's not until tomorrow the 25th, but last year it was on black Friday. I'm happy with my growth these last 12 months and I I haven't regretted my decision to go natural once.

HHG ladies!
