Ok I am back in this ... not for long though, will be away on vacation starting next saturday for 5 weeks!!! Yay...can't wait... I have just booked a flat iron and trim appointement at a hair salon for friday the 9th... I will take pictures after not sure i will have time to upload since i am leaving after the hair appointement... I figure out i am still not confortable showing my natural hair, honestly i love it, the texture of it and all, it is just the short hair look that i have hard time with... I can't wait till my natural hair starts hanging down...
You are really close Imani. Makes me want to take my starting pic. But I will wait because I might be disappointed. Every month I measure I'm 2" to 3" away![]()
Your hair looks very lush...and thick Imani!
Thanks! I actually hated my hair bc it was soooo straight, I like more body.
I alternate bt OMG I can't believe my actually this long... to psshh, it ain't even that long, maybe it'll feel long at BSL.![]()
Rossy2010, what made you want to stretch?esi.adokowa my regime has changed completely. Normaly I would rock french braids or bun, seal and moisture on a daily basis. At the moment Im using box braids and keep them for two weeks under my wig - thanks to JJamiah. So far its working very well. This will be the first time I stretch this long so after 18 weeks I will be on the watchout.
whats your regime?
I pre-pooh and co-wash once a week and poo every other week. I dc overnight or with heating cap for atleast an hour after every wash. I use my kimmy-tube leave in concentrating on my roots every day. I keep my hair in box braids. I baggy every night. I spray my pre poo on the demarcation line and my ends 5 times a week. I seal with castor oil every day.
My regular regimen I do not use the pre-poo on my demarcation. I also do not wear my hair in box braids. I only use my kimmay tube on wash day. For moisture I just use water and castor oil.
@GIJane, are you wearing a wig over your box braids too?
i've been thinking about kimmaytube's leave-in, but i'm not sure.
what kind of conditioner are you using to dc!
@esi.adokowa @Rossy2010 @GIJane
I'm 6 weeks into a 62 week stretch. I have NEVER done this before but being as though I plan on being in a Protective style for the entirety of 2012, I am hoping I can pull it off. Either way, I know who to PM if I have issues, lol.
Maybe not confident, but definitely hopeful. I don't think I'll feel fully confident until I actually reach apl. For now, it still kind of feels like a bit of a pipe dream.
