My Giovanni 50/50 finally arrived 
BUT it's cold so I'm not trying to sleep in it overnight and wake up with pneumonia.

Hey ladies, just checking in...came to the realization after two years on this hhj that I have low, low, low porosity hair 
. It always annoyed me how my hair would take FOREVER to dry but for some reason I never put 2 and 2 together
. I never blow dry unless I'm straightening so I my hair will stay damp for up to 14-18 hours after washing. Now that I know I've started researching on what to do about this one thing I started this week is DCing with heat. There was a noticeable difference in my hair when I rinsed it

Hair is in fat twists and in a bun... I'll take it out this weekend.
Even though I'm half marathon training, I think I'm going to attempt to straighten my hair and trim it myself next week. I've been wanting to try the tension method just to see how well it can work on my hair.
Lastly... I'm getting so BORED with my hair! Thinking about color. Like a reddish color. I want to research this new Olia color by Garnier to see of there's any tutorials or reviews of it.
But yeahs... Kinda bored. I'll have I putvtammy back on or something.

Thanks NikkiQ! I'll be swooping into your PMs soon lol.
Now question:
What are some of the weirdest things you've read or seen people do to increase hair growth?
I'm writing a blog post on weird Ish Natruals do lol.
On the list so far is MN cream (sorry y'all, I know some of us do it, but just think about how weird it is putting yeast infection cream on your head... Just think about it lol)
So what are some odd things you've either done or read on this here board? Thanks in advance!

I'm gonna do a long DC tomorrow on dry hair to make up for missing my Wed DC and CW session. Then Sunday I'll try and get my mom to corn braid it for me

Washing my hair today... My scalp has been itchy these past few days so I greased my scalp with some sulfur 8 grease and dr. Miracles Gro oil, then added my usual prepoo mix of honey and oils and have my plastic cap, scarf and hood on while I do some house work...hope that helps my dry scalp...I'm also doing a Aphogee treatment today so I'll literally be doing my hair ALL day...at least it's a rainy day so I don't feel so bad about being I the house

Yes. When I use to do tea rinses, I would apply the tea to my hair and then apply the DC and let that sit for a couple of hours. Some people do it differently. I think some apply the tea, let it set for abit, rinse the tea out then applied the DC.

Hi Ladies,
This weekend I plan on doing a WnG. I havent done a WnG since I've discovered braidouts. I will def post pics if it comes out nice. I have been watching mahogony curls utube channel. I think I'm gonna try her way. Before I would apply tons of gel and scrutch w/ my hands and towel. But now that I know better I will scrutch & smooth only with my hands. I am also going to apply a light reg conditioner (not a leave-in) and then the gel.
I'm still luving the dutch twist. I have the front in a dutch twist and the back in a french roll. But because I'm starting to miss my hair and I'm REALLY trying hard not to flat iron until out check-in, I'm hoping that this WnG curbs the itch
I'm starting to see more of my NG but my length (when I do a pull test) doesnt show that my hair is growing. Does that happen to yall? Maybe once I straighten it it will show, cause I know when I 1st started using MN, I didnt think it was working, but when I straightened my hair, I was happily mistaken. For yall texlax ladies, is it hard to tell which is your NG and which is the texlax hair? It's hard for me too tell unless I'm like 5mths post.
Happy Growing Ladies!

Stop frontin, you know me!
I was looking at the 2 in 4 challenge. I'm not interested in joining anymore challenges right now but I would love to grow and retain 2inches in 4mos. My biggest issue is retention so I've decided to changes a few things in my reggie like finger combing and detangling, vitamins, bagging over night and get back on tea rinsing.

Hey guys, still bunning and junk. I have decided to texlax in March before our check-in, so I've been doing a lot of research on that. I've put a pic below of the type of buns I've been wearing with Marley hair. The one problem is, I am still feeling some tension on my edges with my buns, I don't want breakage, so I want to figure out how to lessen the tension even more. I'll shampoo and DC next weekend and maybe wear a twist-out or braid-out; I want to trim as well.

I never thought if letting the tea sit in my hair while DC....that's a very good idea! Thanks!

I'm curious about tension and bunning as well, at least with the sock bun.

LucSra Great progress, you're almost there
pelohello Yes this happens to me, I have some crazy shrinkage that makes my hair appear shorter than it really is once my NG gets to a certain length
Firstborn2 Same here, I was looking at it too but I'm doing enough challenges already, I would however love to get that growth. I'll be doing it as a personal challenge and just be stalking the thread 
Good luck, I hope you get the 2" in 4 months

My hair is in 6 braids and then the Marley hair is "roped" around it, I use a black thingy I made that I tie around the braids and smooth with a brush and Eco Styler (does that make any sense? Hope so) and I do it this way to try and lessen tension, but I still feel tension in a few areas in the front and a bit at the back. I'm wondering how I can fix it without looking super sloppy, ya know?

Cattypus1 this is the tea I bought. I first tried it at Shaws Crab House Brunch, the waiter brought me the Camomile Citrus flavor and I had to have more of it. I love how all the dried ingredients expands and fill the silk satchel and the aroma alone will have you hooked.

I caught it on sale at Whole Foods earlier this week, they were all out of the camomile so I have to go back.

Crab House...I am green with envy, I love seafood and we are seafood-lite here in the Ville. That tea looks luscious. I bought some Lipton Mango Peach to drink and it smells so good that I'm going to do a rinse with it. I'm going to try the tea rinse DC method you and one of the other ladies were discussing.

I love teas! You're talking about allowing the tea rinse to sit in the hair while DC'ing?? Yeah I can't wait to try this tomorrow!

Ok, first let me start of by saying that I am happy that my hair is still on my head and appears to be healthy. But geeeeeez when am I gonna make BSL?!? I was hoping I'd be a lot closer than this after my touch up today...seems like my hair was the same dang length last touch up! I'm getting frustrated...I know I'm watching my hair too hard now. Ok....vent over. :-(

my hair hybernates in the winter, so I try to avoid winter length checks they are so frustrating. Bet your spring growth will be amazing. Similar threads
