Got into a motorcycle wreck tonite. At first i didnt feel much because i wad in shock and traumatized but now my left knee is absolutely killing me. It feels like is gaining weight and i cant stretch my leg. Its swollen and i have a knot above my knee. Yall im terrified to go to the ER. What if they mention something bad like surgery?!?! Your girl does NOT do surgeries. Im afraid to be put to sleep :( :( But on the other hand im afraid to sleep tonite because you know pain is at its worse at nite. Omg...im so nervous and scared but it hurts and im limping....perplexed :/

OMG...GoTo the ER. What you don't want is a preventable lifetime condition because you didn't get it taken care of now. Swelling and pain are signs, don't ignore them.
 
Thanks so much ladies!!! Your prayers helped. I had an xray and found that i have no broken bones :) which im happy about. I do, however have a bad sprain and bruising. I just got my crutches and meds so im about to lay down for a while and catch up on some zzzzzzs. Again ladies i really wanna say thanks for your thoughts and prayers!!!!

So happy to hear that nothing was broken!! :yay: Take it easy and relax so you can have a speedy recovery :bighug:

OAN: I've shampooed, used my Aphogee 2min treatment, and applied DC to my hair in 4 sections. It's been on for about 2hrs now and I will leave it on until I shower later this evening. Gonna get a thorough detangle session done before putting it in 4 big braids. Tomorrow it'll be blown out on a cool setting and then put in some twists. I'm PRAYING it comes out looking okay and I have a bit of hang time.This style needs to last me a couple of days while I'm out of town.

SincerelyBeautiful, hope you have a speedy recovery.

Question: anyone washed braids done with kankakelon (sp?)? If so how did it turn out?

I have washed with kanekalon braids in.. I just gently washed the scalp and let the shampoo suds run down the braids. It went fine for me, took very long to dry tho and they were very heavy and pulling once wet.
 
SincerelyBeautiful I'm so happy u aren't broken and feeling better. You scared us girl!

In other news my straightened hair ddnt last 2 weeks like I hoped for. I maxed out at 1, my ends were feeling so dry I couldn't ignore that. I'm not having no set back for no1 so I told my choreographer (I'm in a dance show that requires hair to be straight) she just gonna have to deal lol. I gave myself a light/med protein treatment with my hair mayo then cowashed with my Aussie 3 min miracle. Hair feels so much better.

I came to a realization last night as well. I saw other ladies/dancers/friends who were relaxed and natural with damaged hair. I saw small broken hairs all over their backs, chests, and costumes. I then wondered how long it had been since I dealt with that problem and I'm happy to say its been a while :yep: I'm very happy to have my hair healthy balanced and on the right track.
 
SincerelyBeautiful Great news!

Hi Ladies - Here is a length check for me - I know it's late but I just straightened my hair a few days ago and I know it'll be awhile before that happens again. I'm still shooting for BSL by the fall! :yep:

I'm thinking I will wait until I reach the goal to trim my ends - should I suck it up and trim now or wait?

Excuse the bra tag and back fat! lol

Here is my late length check as promised. My hair puffed during the wedding ( outdoor wedding) I think I may have made APL finally. Who knows I may make bra strap by December.

This is as good a start as any! Due to setbacks and a lack of motivation, I am back at APL, and back on LHCF.

~Current hair length: APL
~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd: Natural
~BSL goal month: August
~Current Reggie and styling choices: Keeping it simple: twists, twistouts, buns, sets.
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL?: I'm just going to let my hair do what it does. I'm working on a super simple reggie, and this time around I'm going to TRY not to obsess over my hair.
~Post a beginning picture: Back later with my starting pic.

OMG!!!!!!! Ms_CoCo37!! Where in the heck have you been???? :bighug:

Hola CHICA! :bighug: :grin: You're still as gorgeous as ever!

After I lost my grandfather last year, I lost all interest in hair. Then my membership expired and I wasn't feeling all that motivated, so I let it lapse. I just renewed the other day, and I'm surprised that all of my stats remained. I thought I was going to have to start from scratch.

I see you're making beautiful progress! I love the new color!

Sorry to hear about your grandfather :sad:. Glad to have you back in this neck of the woods. I missed seeing those gorgeous curls everyday! And thanks for the compliments. I'm still hanging in there and growing this mop top out :lol: It's time to refresh the color. I got some serious root action going on,but I won't do it until I hit BSL/MBL. They're about the same on me since I wear my bra low.

Root action means growth! ;-) Are you going to refresh with the same color?

I need to add a little color to my life but Iz scared...I would be the one to lose patches of hair. T_T

Yeah. I'm sticking with red for a while. Idk what other colors I would try lol

Sent from my Android...Boom.
 
Okay, fresh out of the shower, I just added my starting pix to my post. BSL for me would be right around the number 5 mark. I have a ways to go before I get there. I took a pic of the front and the back.
 
Right back to wigging. I feel back like my hair is angry that it isn't allowed to see sunshine but doesn't it understand I'm doing this for it?!
I swear hair strands are worse than adolescents...
 
~Current hair length- APL
~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd- Natural
~BSL goal month- July 2013
~Current Reggie and styling choices- Leaving hair alone, DC'ing twice a week, once with protein.
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL?-More moisturizing and sealing ends and keeping hands out of hair

So it's 5 days in for my roller set. It is now pulled into banana clip bun with the curls out on the top. I think I'm going to do it all over again this week.
 
I'm cranking out the rest of my assignments for the week to turn in before I fly out on Wednesday then I'll be attempting to blow dry my hair straight and putting in a set of twists. I still have NO idea what product to use though b/c I don't want them to revert and I want some hang time and definition when I do take them down.

I talked to my mom this morning and she's so excited I'm coming home. It's been over 3 months and she can't take it :lol: But apparently my sister has told her that my hair has gotten long from stalking my pics on Facebook so now I REALLY need to make sure my hair looks good.
