Did these médium box braids in 4 hours. I did not want to deal with spending time on my hair. I also hate taking them out so.... It was thé right size for me.

such pretty hair!

ok i was wrong about my PP shedding. it was really coming out when i detangled my hair. and it took me an hour to detangle my hair. i had to moisturize/detangle small sections. now my hair is in a bun. yeah, i don't think i will be doing much else to my hair until the shedding subsides.
 
I have the HUGEST urge to take out my weave and wear my hair out but I'm trying to stay strong and in a protective style up until our update day...but its so hard :sad:
Instead of getting another 3/4 wig install i decided its summer time anyway might as well get the twist box braids, and besides this head hasn't seen a relaxer since december 2012, so I am not trying to deal with it :lachen:

We here!!!!

My hair is still straight-ish... I sweat in my sleep :-( so the back and sides are reverting. My hair line is also getting a lol fuzzy because my shower cap doesn't cover my big ol' head.

But right now I have a cute lil top knot bun going on and I'll probably braid out/bun for the rest of the week to make the sheen last. I'll wash next year and go back to regular life (exercising etc).

I meant to suggest earlier to wear 2 shower caps and let them overlap so no hair is exposed. I have even worn 3 being overly cautious! :-)

Ahhhh the fact that you vacation in Venice makes me jealous but in my good way :-). So glad u and hubby had a good time! Your braids are very nice...good job!
 
So this is what LHCF has done to me. I'm going to give my puppy her first bath today and I spent last night looking for recipes for homemade puppy shampoo. :lachen::look:

No surprise the various recipes have all the usual suspects, ACV, baking soda, aloe vera, glycerin, etc. but lots of them have lavender dish soap. Apparently lavender is a flea repellant. Who knew? I just don't know what else is in dish soap. Off to research more.

ETA: dish soap has SLS. Guess I won't be using that.

Thank you. I hate braiding but its great to have some rest from every day manipulation.

Hubby and i absolutely loved it! venice is something to experement. No cars,no trains...just water and bridges everywhere!
So we walked like 7 hours per day. At least i eliminated calories after eating pizza,pasta,ice cream and drinking cocktails! Lol

Use Dr. Bronner's Lavender Castille Soap instead. You can get a good deal on it at Target or the Vitamin Shoppe.
 
Geesh!!! I totally would've thought I'd have achieved BSL by now, but a few unexpected trims equal setback:(

I have been looking for months for a jar to transfer my AOHSR into to make it easier to apply my DC. Today I was in Sally's and they had jars! I've looked there so many times before and they never had them. I am so happy, I bought 2!!!

Finally finished my wig! Wore it to work yesterday after doing a flexi-rod set in photo 1 and then wore it today after setting it with Bantu knots. Still getting used to it. Haven't had super straight hair in years lol but I really like this as a protective style. Hoping it'll push me through to BSL

Rocked a pretty cute puff today to a beer fest and will probably wear the same or a bun tomorrow to the beach. Looking forward to wash day on Monday though.

I have loved my hair over the last couple days....all the styles were done on stretched hair (from the curlformers). I am waiting to post them like next week. Think I done posted too much in everyday already for the last week. LOL.

Off to look at thread, lol. I always like your different styles. I actually plan to have my mother try one of your 2 strand twist styles on me next week lol. It's from an old post when your hair was much shorter, which is the length I am at now.
 
Happy Mother's Day to all of the mommies in here! You guys are truly blessed and appreciated :love3:

^^can't wait to see the pics ladies! and happy mommy's day to all of the mommies and fur baby mommies!

i am going to treat myself to some products today. i am going to revisit Nexxus and get some conditioner since i am running low, and i found where the carry Emergencee in my area. a lot of the Walgreens were out of stock, but the one 2 mins away has some.

i wish it was wash day so i can try them out, but i will wait for Tuesday. i am going to wash my DD's hair a little later. oh i am going to get some JBCO i am going to get the scented one. do i need to mix it with anything to make it more lighter? i plan on using it on my edges and scalp when doing an or using it on my new growth.
 
Happy Mother's Day!!

I have no idea how to style my hair once I rinse out this DC....:perplexed: I don't wanna do curlformers, too lazy to flat twist, don't wanna do two strand twists, not interested in doing braids for a braidout. I don't know ladies....I don't know. :ohwell:
