aint just you, Im also subscribed so I just go straight here if I dont see it on the first page.

I also leave a page up in a special tab just for this thread and hit refresh :lol:

then I may check to see what else is happening on the board.
 
My twists are still pinned and stretching under my satin cap. I'm determined to get some hang time dammit! :lol: Chances are I'm gonna wear them in a ponytail tomorrow under a beanie while I fly.
 
On Saturday, I relaxed after 14 weeks and then on Monday, I got a Dominican blow-out (which I now regret). I feel like I'm grazing BSL. My hair has a bit of a wave to it, I couldn't hold the camera and stretch it out at the same time. What do you guys think?

Pretty hair, your lead hairs are pretty much there, you might make MBL by your next touch up. Go join the MBL challenge, you can do it this year.
 
NikkiQ, the longer my hair gets, the less I'm liking blow-outs 1) B/c of the intense heat of the blowdryer (I skip the flat iron) 2) b/c of how they up charge for "long" hair and 3) I realize that what I like best is the rollerset, the rest I can live without.

I tried it once on my natural hair when I made it to the 1 yr mark. Never again. :nono:

Don't be depressed Incognitus!!! You are beautiful, I know how you feel (size 18/20 girl here!) but the great thing is, it's never too late to make some changes. I've been slowly incorporating healthy things into my regimen and trying to remove unhealthy practices. It's an uphill battle, but we can do it!!! Let me know if you want to link up on that tip :grin:



This afternoon, I had some free time between work and class (and I wanted a nap, don't judge me!), so I used my sulfur mix and the LOC method and baggied while I napped for an hour. I'm learning that my fine strands can NOT take overnight baggying, my hair is straight mush thanks to over-moisturizing, so I am on the lookout for a reconstructer or heaby protein...any suggestions?

I took off the baggy and went to class, now my hair feels great!:grin::grin::grin:

Thank you for the support! It's just been of those days...weeks....heck, months. :ohwell: I just need to get out of this funk and get back on track!


Whenever I baggy overnight, my scalp always gets this thick buildup....and it's so difficult to get rid of.

nazjha:welcome:...good luck on your journey to BSL...do you think the weaves are thinning your hair or is it something else
Click to expand...

Mjon912 sorry but I never noticed this post.

I'm not sure the reason why my hair is thinning out I wore weaves before I began my HHJ. It got very consistent 2010 began my hair journey 2012 and thats when I did experience a set back. I said it was from my bunning. The middle of my hair had started to break off and my hair was in the shape of a w but i'm starting to think thats how my hair grows...

I love the weaves and dont want to give them up lol, but it is something I was thinking. Maybe it constantly being in corn rolls?? IDK.
 
Ladies, I'm seriously struggling with wrapping my hair overnight. I've been using one of those bonnets, but I end up needing to straighten out the bumps in the morning when my hair's straight. How do you guys wrap your hair and with what so that you don't need excess styling? Thanks y'all

I use an actual scarf not a bonnet. The tension (I like mine tight and it doesn't bother me plus my hair is super thick) keeps it smooth and flat....A really long rectangular scarf works wonders too...HTH
 
My net is getting a little looser under my sew in so I can finally feel my braids underneath to cowash/wash. Good thing, too, because even though I've been doing it since I got this weave, now I can tell that I wasn't getting my hair underneath THAT clean (still have oil/residue). I know I won't be able to get it squeaky clean under there...but I don't want too much buildup either.

I kinda miss my hair though. :) I can't wait to be able to cleanse my whole head & do a delicious protein & DC treatment on my whole head. That's so funny to me because before my HHJ I was a weave queen & would not see or feel my scalp for months at a time. My, how things have changed...
 
Where I live there aren't many black women so most of the hair I see is on this site. Now I've been in NOLA for the past 4 days and I've seen so many bad heads of hair. Dried out NL hair, "ponytails" that barely go past the rubber band, and really bad weaves. I have seen a few nice heads of hair, but they are usually very short relaxed hair and very few women with nice, long hair.
 
still wigging it, this weekend I plan on taking off my 3/4 ths wig and have a hair day. Its been 2 months since I've seen my hair. I'm readdddddyyyyyy!!! lol *spongebob voice*

maninyee depends on how straight your hair is. The straighter and smoother (not a word lol) less the chance of having bumps from the scarf.

Incognitus No problem, we're all in the same fight, right? Have a strong day!

Nothing to report, my twists are still trying to unravel every 10 seconds, and I cut ALL the straight ends, so I'm not sure what is going on :ohwell:

I'm not going to stress myself over it! I am still on the lookout for a reconstructer and/or a good protein deep conditioner, any suggestions?
 
I almost forgot why I don't two strand twist my hair into small twists anymore...

I did them like a week ago and they already look OLD. I'm switching them to braids.

Should take 2 days, but whatever. Needs to be done and my twists can't look insane at this regional conference this weekend.

Its crazy you said that. Im in Arkansas and thought the same thing. I now have this issue or should i say obsession with hair. So everywhere I go I look at a womans head. I will shake my head at some and wanna offer advice to others. I just say to myself "wow if she only knew her hair could flourish" lol
