I was planning a hair day today after neglecting it for the past week but I think I just came down with the flu. I guess my hair will just have to wait.

pelohello, I've recently been trying to find an all-star leave-in that is a good price, moisturizes with a hint of protein, that works on my hair when its wet or dry and that I can put in spritz form since that how I like to apply my moisturizer. Oh yea, and that has glycerin no sooner that the 4th ingredient, since my hair is not a fan. I've tried s-curl and I hate it.

Yeah, so i did a major cut. Took 4" off the back and 4 and 6" in some other areas in the front. I don't know how I feel, it's prob going to kick in in a few days. I'm going to keep my hair tied up in head scarfs and do chic styles. Until march when I'll install some single braids. I still have a little more I need to take off. But I think it would be just too traumatizing for me to go from my hair which I grew about 1" away from BSL to SL so ill set up a gradual plan to remove the rest of my heat damage. I'm like between CBL and APL right now, or atleast it sort of looks that way. I'm staying on my plan of no heat. And if I ever feel it necessary to use "heat", I will be making sure it is my blow dryer on warm if I need a blow out for single braids. My hair definetly looks healthier. I want my ends to be thick and full on my journey to MBL. No one will be seeing my hair.

I've been attempting to learn how to cornrow so I can have my hair lay flat and stay protected beneath my wigs but I'm still not improving much. I think I'll just bite the bullet and have someone do it for me, but its killing me cause ladies out here charge 60 for some plain-jane cornrows!!

GettingKinky I feel your pain, I just washed today after a week out of my game with flu
Get better soon.DanceOnTheSkylines Have you not got a friend or relative who could do it for you? Even if you still had to pay them it would surely be a lot cheaper than $60. When I was learning to cornrow, I used a dolls head to practice, i then moved on to friends and family before I started on myself.

Looking good lady!!! I think its safe to say you may be full BSL after next week's relaxer. Our first BSL graduate, dare I say?
As of right now the only person Ik who could maybe do my hair lives in Staten island while I live in brooklyn. And she's just a relative of a friend of mine, so Idk what he schedule is like. I can cornrow other people's heads just not my own. My mom suggested going to a barber shop where they probably wont charge as much.

My new growth is so thick and coarse it's starting to matt up. I'm going to do a HOT and DC all day tomorrow

Chronically at BSL -_-
I've been sick the last few...weeks -_- and I finally did something nice to my hair today: I used a yogurt, olive oil, honey and mayo treatment (Naptural85) and then I cowashed with my WEN knock-off (aptly titled "REN" lol) and I used a moisturizing butter with aloe and coconut oil mixed in. My hair feels pretty good, got it air drying in flat twists. Not sure what to do after that. I want to continue bunning, but we shall see.
I'm still not 100% but I feel a lot better and my hair does too! Have a good weekend ladies!

I flew home for the weekend, and b/c of the bottle size and quantity regulations I had to leave most of my stash behind. I fly back to school tomorrow and I have a 32ox of 613 and a 32oz of Wen Fig waiting for me to crack them open. I used an entire smaller bottle of the 613 and I LOVED, it but I'm trying the Wen Fig for the first time b/c it's a bit more economical than the 613, hopefully it performs.

$60...oh no! I can't cornrow either. Most of the time I just do celie braids under my wigs. My mom will cornrow for me, but I live 1.5 hrs from her so I have to time it right.

Still wearing my hair out since Friday. Almost time to bun again.
This is the only product I use on my hair when it's straight and I don't want to weigh it down.

I did a henna treatment yesterday, DC'd overnight and did a tea rinse after rinsing out the dc. I put my hair in a wet bun. I tried a different method to wet bun hopefully I won't have lots of tangles when I take it down to cowash tomorrow. I swear wet buns don't like me but I think it's my method. Hopefully this method I tried this morning will work. I'm determine to properly learn how to wet bun without have crazy tangles.

Since I'm on a mission for a cheap but good quality & quantity leave in, I went to Sallys. I purchased the hawaiian silky 14 in 1. I've heard good things from this board about this leave in. Since I renewed my membership on time, I was able to get sumthing for free from either silk elements or ion. Since I've never used ion, I decided 2 go w/ this brand. I bought an intense moisture conditioner. It also has silk proteins in it. They also have lots of leave ins that I want to try.
Has anyone used ion before? Do u like there products? What have y'all used?

Used up 2 of my favorite DCs in the past 3 weeks. First my SE MegaSilk and now my CJ Curl Rehab
I know you didn't really use ALL of your Megasilk up...not when it was just $6 a few weeks ago. PLEASE tell me you stocked up!
On another note...I used WAY too much serum in my spray bottle while doing my roller set, so not only is it taking FOREVER to dry, my hair is going to be a greasy mess.
