hi ladies!!! everyones hair is making really good progress, so i thought i would do a quick length check on my own hair...i big chopped july 29th but transitioned from february 2nd. I don't want to use heat till at least feb 2nd, 2010, so i just stretched with my fingers!

 

[countrychickd]

I blow dried and then flat-ironed.

ETA: Pics. I use the same regimen as when I was transitioning.

Your hair is simply gorgeous! You did a great job.

When I first BC'd my SO was a bit like erplexed but he stayed silent for the most part. He started to warm up to my fro and would squish it from time to time but he still stayed mum and never really complimented it.

The other day we were talking about how much work it is to own a business and how much time it takes and I said " Well, at least we both have awesome hair!" He says

" No. YOUR hair is awesome. MY hair is just regular."




I was cheesin'!

That's so sweet Soliel!! My old man just says I have a lot of hair, not much else. But I told him he'll be wanting to make love to my hair when my 1 year anniversary comes up!! LOL!!

Here goes my fluffy puff from today.

Too lazy to resize... sorry if they are big.

It's not perfect or anything. I will try again when I have more hair

 

[Soliel185]

^^ I wondered all the time about how to do one before I chopped!

I miss puffs a bit now since I'm in the twist challenge....For mine I cut a length of fabric with a little stretch. I gather my hair into a pony tail smooth it with my hands, and doing the hairline with a soft boar bristle brush. I use a little water, castor oil, and Elasta QP glaze to smooth. Once I have it tight in my fist I take the fabric and after tucking one end into my fingers start wrapping it around the base of the pony. When the fabric runs down I tuck the two ends into the wrap and fluff my puff.

The other way is to prep your hairline and then taking your knee high or whatever, cross the two ends over your forehead and then pull it tight in your hands. As you pull, pause every few seconds to push it back, then pull the slack tight. Once the puff is in place you can tie the ends of the fabric, or wrap them around the puff base. I don't like this way as much because of the tension on my hairline.


After either method I make sure my hairline frizzies are all lying in the same position and smooth, then cover with a silk/satin scarf to set.

Awwww, so sweet!


My bf still says "You butchered it!" And he still has the old hair that I cut off

but he really seems to like my hair at the same time He has been very supportive, which surprises me because he had some kind of fit the night I cut my hair. lol

Your hair is gorgeous! I love it! Wow....I just love this thread....for pics like this!

Thank you!

I love this thread too!

Hello Ladies!!!

I'm blown away by all these beautiful heads of hair [B/]Neith, Hysis, Vivez, LMLLIG[/B] and to all the other ladies that post in here as well. I'm just loving our natural community and the differences we all have that bring us together.

I'm doing well with the No Cut Challenge. My hair is growing and its uneven and I don't care. It's mine and its growing so I embrace it.

I'm an unofficial Twist Challenger since that's how I wear my hair 75% of the time which is about to become 100% with the winter weather approaching. I'm so ready to get in my new kitchen and start mixing up some butters for my twists. I'm going to make little 1oz sizes with different mixes of oils and butters. Taking suggestions, Ladies!!! Thanks.

HHG!!!

Ps. Can you send me a man to come compliment me and my hair Thanks!!

Neith!!!!!!! WOW!!! Your hair is ON POINT!!!! It's growing a lot, I can tell!

I have No desire to cut. In the beginning, it was all about shape and health of my ends. Now that I have healthy ends and have found a stable routine (weekly wash, then twist and air dry, then twist-out), I am SOOOO ready to get some length back!

U funny! Seriously, I am an unofficial twist challenger as well...

 

[SweetSpirit86]

Unofficial challenger as well...but I don't really have the desire to cut. Neith!! Gimme your puff!! I need to do a search on your regimen. My hair looks like that now when I pull back the headband, but it's not as shiny and moisturized looking as yours. Got a case of hair envy happening here!

 

[FindingMe]

So, today I was sporting a 2 day old WnG that had frizzed out and people were actually complimenting me on my hair today:


I was like, "seriously?" erplexed (thus the expression below )


to me it just looked like i just woke up and did absolutely NOTHING to it...maybe people liked it 'cause it was so big? I dunno

Is anyone like me and likes their hair to appear more "stylized" even in it's natural state?

I love it! I love big hair, and this look is gorgeous! It does not look like you did nothing to your hair though. It looks great. I can't wait to have this length!

I haven't cut or trim or felt the need to so far. It's been going great. I do have some pieces that annoy me, but I'm still not feeling pressed for a trim or anything. Maybe as the months go by I will though, but so far so good.

I have had no itch to cut my hair... I will prb go till feb and then check my ends for damage or split ends before i decided to trim!!

I totally feel you! I promise my husband i wouldnt cut my hair anymore unless its just to dust the endz..... He stated that you say that you want to grow ur hair out but then you cut it.

It was cute!! Of course they were complimenting you.

 

[FindingMe]

^^Thanks SS86 and CCd.

I guess I just like it a bit neater, all a smooth shape, no strands stickin up all willy nilly... i do think people liked it bc i was big, tho. It prolly would have looked better to me if I had spritzed the ends and patted it down to make it more of a shape...

Your hair is cute, we are our worst critic!

And my lil progress pic - this is from beginning of twist challenge till now. I lined up the pics the best I could....this ish is hard!
