After a crazy workout,I decided to cowash my hair loose for the first time in forever. I detangled in the shower and then applied CJ leave in, CJ curls in a bottle and some oil. Talk about heaven!!

cowashing loose hair is so the business! i loved it! i hated i had to wash my hair in sections the longer it got.

your curls are poppin!
 
So I think I made BSL. My hair in this picture is towel dried. I don't want to cheat myself so please correct me if I am wrong. I don't want to claim BSL until I am fully there not just scraping bsl. My bra strap may not be where it should be. What do you all think? :) And yes I know my bra look crazy lol

Put my hair in small twists for the first time in a log time! I'm surprised by how long they seem, but because it was done o dry hair, I don't like the ends. They look so small.

Anywho, I'll steak them in the shower in the morning.

I'm just happy it took under 3 hours!
 
Finally did something productive to this hair other than bun. Over Easter I decided to stay away from heat as had not been the case during previous Easters (it's been a tradition for me since I was a kid to get it straightened). Instead I washed and conditioned with TJs and sealed with Africa's Best Herbal Oil after my nexus leave in and wore it in varying large twist outs and braid outs. I only used maybe 6 sections. But I got lazy one night and just pulled it back into a bun. Wednesday night I washed with Tresemme Naturals moisturizing poo and condish and used Aussie moist as my leave in. I put in some small-medium twists which took forever but at least it's properly detangled and moisturized. Now for the task of trimming a little from each twist. I had some ssks at the very ends and want to tackle them now before they get out of hand.

I'm thinking of texlaxing one I get to my goal. Between mine and my two DDs heads I just don't have the time, motivation, or patience to want to do mine with being focused on growing theirs.

Well lady, looks like your towel dried textured relaxed hair is scraping BSL. Straightened hair is another thing...Congratulations, you're FULL BSL!!!

Oh, you are so making me want to color my hair. It's been some years since I've dyed it. Part of my hesitation is that I have wigs that match my color. Even with LF, I like to have a little leave out. My other hesitation is that I think I'm too lazy to do what it takes to take care of double-processed hair. :perplexed

This is what I have my stylist do, though I'm not texlaxed. Last relaxer we texlaxed my bang area so that it can recover from, the rest of my hair is thriving except this area. Hopefully I'll see that it's made a difference when I relax in two weeks.

I'm actually itching to dye it again, but I'm gonna hold out for a little while longer. I miss the bright red
 
Hey guys! So you've bee hearing me talk about making my wig and blah blah for the longest. I made I a while back but attaching it and making it look right without snatching out my hair was a struggle (wig clips r the devil). I finally created a sewed in mini bobby pin system so I've been wiggling this entire week. Here are the pics:

Its a u-part but I wear a scarf or hat when I don't want to blend. I'm at least 13/14 weeks post. I made it not crazy longer than my hair so that i can go back and forth no problem. It is alot fuller though.. Maybe i'll cut it. Today I'm doing a HOT, aphogee and DC. Will length check as well.

It looks really natural Carmelella! What kind of hair did you use?

I used senghori shells relaxed rhythms hand tied. If I make another I might use a cheaper store brand if I plan on just doing buns/ponies with a headband. I have tons of SSNR so I might make a more textured one too.
 
My hair was a tad dry last nite so i decided to slap some coconut oil on my hair and did the ghe overnite. This morning my hair was nice and damp the way i like it. After it dried it still felt moist. I think I need to up this method to two or three times a week.

I think ponytails are only damaging when they are long enough to touch your back.
But I've seen many women afraid of the air... :lachen:

Yesterday I was wearing a sweater and every time I turned my head I felt my ponytail rubbing on my sweater. Today I'm back in a bun. I want to enjoy my hair, but I also want to reach my goals.
