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. :cry3:

I only had one jar of it. I'm in Puerto Rico so there is no stocking up on hair supplies here lol. I have to wait until I go back to the states and ship it back.
 
Today while surfing the web, I learned a few facts about my hair styles of choice and the shape of my head. It's no secret that I have a long a$$ head, LOL! The problem is that my ultimate hair goal is MBL but with my head shape/length, I should wear my hair short and no longer than SL :-O!!

How I "should" wear my hair:
- NL-SL
- long layers
- chin length bobs
- sweeping bangs
- curls
- no volume on crown
- low buns ONLY

I already knew I didn't look very flattering with volume at my crown and high buns BUT short hair only? I DON'T THINK SO. Apparently my fine, low density hair is also a problem for my head shape and I should never wear my hair straight, WTW :-O!!! Why would the Good Lord give me a long head, fine hair with low density and it not be flattering. I'm having difficulty growing a decent looking bang but thank goodness research specifies I should have a side swooping bang anyway.

Well, I've decided to say to h&ll!! with all that and grow my hair as long as it will grow! Curly rollersets will offset all that so I can have my cake and it it too and let the truth be told, I recall getting tons of compliments when I wore rod sets on my NL-SL hair.

I'm going to rock my APL, BSL, MBL hair straight when I feel like it and be proud and show every square inch of my long head... Dang, I want an oval head...TEAR, TEAR :-(.

Just got my jamaican coconut black castor oil and I'm excited to use!!!
Problem I'm going to be going back under my 3/4ths wig so it wont be a daily use most likely...once a month...:/
 
Remember when SURGE used to be a go to growth aid? I loved that ish I used to stock up I with from ate up EL hair to healthy thick APL hair in no time when I was relaxed, I found one of their products called wojee moisturizing cream, it was the last one left so I took a leap and decided to get it, I havent used it yet but Im hoping it works like the revitalizer spray. Im currently sitting with a puff in my hair, I will be washing,dcing today/tonite and braiding back up tomorrow and slapping my wig I made (laceclosure and tracks) My new regimen is wigging it, braiding up every 2 wks moisturizing daily with braid spray and oiling with du grow growth oil and cowashing one time a week. Ive been doing this since I took my Havana twists out and so far so good. Im ordering a lace wig kinky straight to match my hair texture and wear for the next 6 months or so. IDK what Im going to do doing the summer months though prob be #TEAMBUNLIFE so I can stay in a protective style Im all about making it to BSL by fall and reaching MBL by my wedding in next June! HHG ladies!

KiWiStyle I got to the bolded and was getting ready to tell you to grow your hair as long as you want and wear it how you want, when you want! I'm glad you've chosen not to listen to that so called advice. Plenty of women have long heads, under all that hair we don't even notice. I also want to tell you that I think the length of head is one of the reasons that your French braid looks so beautiful so it definitely has its perks, don't be upset, your hair is gorgeous :yep: :bighug:
 
Haven't posted in some time, but I am still on my regimen. I relaxed today and will compare pics with my last relaxer.
 
ran a 5k today, i didnt train for it AT ALL (i go to the gym, but have been focussing on weight training) but I didnt do badly 42.27

my hair really needs to be washed but Im too tired to do anything, may just rinse my hair and call it a day.

KiWiStyle what website was this? I have a longish head too and I want to see what they say. I try to make my hair full so that my face looks wider, but maybe that's the wrong thing.

I, too, have a long head. The most flattering styles on me are all big, not long. I've got to have volume, straight doesn't really work for me but I'll do it because I was one of those little nappy-headed girls who dreamed of long, straight hair. Seriously, I had dreams of long hair. Nobody in my house had long hair (thankfully so) and nobody in my house knew how to take care of hair that wasn't straight-all brothers! I say all that to say that you are beautiful! You wear that beautiful head of hair any dang way you please, girl! Don't let anyone tell you that you shouldn't. Work dat thang!!!
 
My hair was still pretty soft after take down. I didn't feel like washing it today so I pinned it up. I'll take it down in a few days.

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?

I'm ok, I was just making fun, lol! I think it's interesting how our head shapes should matter when we style our hair. Thanks for the hugs and compliment...you're alright with me ;-).

GettingKinky I was really paying attention to the sites I read but all I did was google "hairstyles for long heads" and read the results. Actually my head is considered "oblong", lol!

ETA: I love your name, it's very creative!!

Girl I'm working it over here, lol! My hair is always pulled back...seeing my long head in all it's glory. I didn't realize you're oblong too, I guess all that big hair his it. At least you have a full head of hair and hopefully before its all said and done, I'll have a lush full head to.

KiWiStyle Better than have a fat head lol...I have a huge, round head with a weird, little forehead and a lot of "cheek" area, meaning my cheeks take up a lot of space, and my facial features? Not so much. That's also the reason I appear to have a lot of hair: because my head is so big, I need double the strands just to cover my scalp! LOL
 
Oh Celies how I've missed you. Was too rushed and too lazy yesterday to do my threading so I'll skip it for the week and do them again when I have more time.

Long/oblong head checking in. That makes sense to me. I noticed that when I rock that short wig I showed a couple weeks ago, I get the most compliments. And in general, I feel like those styles listed above are the most flattering for my face. I rarely wear my hair straight b/c it doesn't feel right, which is why i've been toying with the idea of doing bangs are at least layers around the front, so that I can wear it long and straight but get the complimentary look that comes with shorter hair.
 
Nothing new to really report. I have been keeping my hair up. However it is time for me to wash and dc but i been debating on whether to relax a week early or what. My new growth is outta control lol

I have used the ion conditioner. Once. I wasn't too impressed with it. I usually like to give things a try twice but with this one I didn't. Maybe I should??

KiWiStyle another long/oblong checking in here too! :-) I have often considered cutting my bangs and wearing them again just to add some layer, or appearance of shorter head :-)?

See what I'm saying? Out of curiosity, I'm going to rock my hair in curly rollersets and a swooping bang for a whole two weeks when the summer hits. just to see how people react to me.

Absolutely. Like, another style I would love to rock is the high bun. I can do the bun at crown, but the super high bun just doesn't work on me. Defininately jealous of those who can rock it b/c it just looks so modelesque.

Modelesque..love it!! I was just taking to my DD last week about not being able to rock a high bun. There is just to much space between my neck and the top of my head. I look like those hood girls who put the ponytail on top of the head but its sticks straight up about an inch or two long, lol! I am wrong for that, LOL!! Besides I think maybe I'm too old for high buns anyway, 40 :-O!
