@jprayze and @alanaturelle i buy everything off amazon... But be careful, price check you items with your bss/Walmart/target/etc... I was going to buy some Lekair Cholesterol Plus until I saw the price was $20... Used to buy it at Sally's for $1.70 but they stopped selling it, went to Walmart and it was only $2

For the ladies who are bunning this month. Are you doing anything special for V-Day?? I might do a rollerset, it's a prime opportunity to scratch this itch to wear my hair curly for a day.

Y'all... It was a STRUGGLE for me to go into the hair care aisle at Walmart. I only had $11 but swear I wanted to drop BANDS when I saw all this new stuff lol. Pics aren't wanting to upload now but I will be back later to post them. I DID purchase what I NEEDED though. Garnier Nutrisse color foam in blue black(currently just testing this brand out) and the last pack of banana clips.

We never do anything for V-Day (I hate the holiday TBH) so I'll be in my regular old sock bun.
 
About to take the twists down. We'll see how this goes. Hoping it is a bit more stretched than last time.
 
I dont do Vday but im considering going to the africans in a few to get my hair braided neatly for my wig hoping it will last for a month
 
lamaria211 good luck in your interview! I said I'd go back when my daughter turned 6months, she's now 2 and I'm having baby #2 and still havnt gone back SMH... It's hard to leave little ones =\

coolsista-paris good luck to you too!!!

KiWiStyle and jprayze yes... Now I put stuff in my cart on amazon and screen shot it so when I go to the store I can find if its cheaper

KiWiStyle it depends on the weather, if its rainy, which the forecast says it might be, I'll be in my bun, otherwise I might wear it down, but since I'm not really doing anything special since we're going OT and will have the mini I'm not really pressed

NikkiQ it looks like you got crimps!!! What do you do with your hair after you stretch it like that

Yeah, I noticed that with Shea Moisture. It costs $9.99 at Target while on Amazon, it's in the $20s. WTF?!? :nono:
 
Mjon912 well I normally bun it after stretching,but b/c I used a little gel on my hair on top of my leave in my hair is SUPER crunchy right now :perplexed . So I will be conditioner cleansing it tomorrow. I don't even want to try to bun it while it's so stiff.
 
In my eternal search for the perfect moisturizers, that went horribly wrong, I ended up DCing last night since I had to shampoo that mess out of my hair anyways, smh.

Whew lawd my NG is killing me this round. I may need to go back to my V05 cowashes because for some reason this Wen ain't doing the job in this weather. Hair feels like hay all the time. :( Also need to jump on this Hairveda sale- that Whipped Ends was a good moisturizer...
 
Onhergrind09 I have the Sweet Almond Mint. My cousin used to work for the telemarketing company that sold it so I got it free. Seemed to work just fine when I started using it 6 months ago...but now? Not so much.
 
newnyer, I've used the 613 which I think of as God's special gift to me, but b/c of the price I decided to try Wen Fig, so I'm glad that's not the one that let you down:).
 
Soooooo I was looking at my calendar counting the weeks to see how long since my last relaxer... Ill be 19 weeks post on v-day. What?! I counted twice like that can't be right. This stretch came and went so fast and so easy compared to last time. I was ready chop everything off at 19weeks this past October haha. Im thankful for these twists and how effortless they've made the last leg of this stretch. I think I'm gonna take the twists out this weekend so I can have a long enough rest for my tresses to get a TU next weekend. :)
 
Onhergrind09 yes I've heard good things about 613 but I'm too cheap to give it a try. Guess I'll just finish this bottle of Sweet Almond Mint & end my term as a Wen girl for now(unless my cuz goes back to that job in which I will use/sell any product she gives me for free!) LOL

What kind of twists do you have, hon? Are they extensions or with your own hair? I'm thinking of doing the same thing to extend my time for next touch up. I'm just at 8 wks post and I'm already struggling. I can usually get to 12 w/ no issues...

ETA: Nevermind- I peeped your lovely twists! I've been stalling for the last month on getting the same thing done to my head....okay, maybe I need to go ahead & pay somebody to handle this. ANYTHING to make this stretch easier!

I can't imagine my hair being an inspiration to anyone but thanks so much for saying that. You're so sweet :-))!!

KiWiStyle Every time you post pics of your hair styles especially your buns and that gorgeous French braid, it inspires me to want to make a little effort with my hair styling, I'm sure there are other ladies who feel the same :yep:

Bit more stretched and a little hang time. Operation 8 Sections was a semi success :lol:

NikkiQ Trust me when I tell you, if you do 16 you will get great stretch, for me it would be all about having the patience to sit there for the time it takes to do 16 of them :lol:

Well in other news, I baggied last night as planned, I ended up having to take off the shower cap and the headscarf half way through the night. My head was itching so bad, it felt like I had fleas! I scratched my head so much I've left my scalp really saw, I had to take a couple of anti-histamine. I ended up taking the sock bun down, I couldn't be bothered to redo it in the morning, I ended up doing a ponytail bun which came out looking like a HAM :ohwell:, I'm just waiting for Thursday to wash. I'm guessing my scalp did not take too kindly to being baggied while dirty :nono:

growbaby Are you in the Up your Water Intake challenge? A few of the ladies over there have mentioned that increasing their water intake has really helped to manage NG and stretching, I was just wondering if you were another testimony to drinking more water?
 
Ends are trimmed and sealed with fantasia olive oil serum and they feel so much better. Pin curled it instead of Bantu knots but I am NOT gonna wear it down. Looking for banana clip styles as I type...
 
I think I'm gonna LOC method my crunchy a$$ hair,wrap the braids in saran wrap and call it a night. I don't wanna leave it in the state that it's in overnight. That has disaster written all over it.

That's so funny you said that.. I was too timid to join the challenge in fear of failure so I secretly did it on my own :yep: ... I don't hit my mark of 66oz every day but I do hit it about 5/7 days a week :) .. On my off days (weekends) I only get about 40oz .. Overall it's ALOT more water than my usual amount and I do indeed think its helping.
 
Hair is nicely moisturized,braided and under a conditioning cap (too lazy for saran wrap). Not looking forward to listening to crunching all night,but you do what you gotta do.

Sent from my Android...Boom.
 
I don't know if my eyes are deceiving me but my hair feels and looks like it hasn't moved for the past 3 months. :perplexed

Now it seems like BSL for june mth end wont happy after all. I need some magic over here....depressed:sad:
