I'm finally to the point where my buns are big enough that I don't feel bald when I wear them and I'm lazy enough to wear them 99.9999% of the time. I rarely have the energy to braid my hair before bed for a braid out. I just need to find a better way to secure my ends. Tucking them back into my hair band is not the best thing for them. Today I tried a barrette and it seemed to work ok. When I try spin pins my hair is just too poufy, I can't get it to lay flat enough. How do you guys secure your ends when you wear a bun?

GettingKinky I use a bobby pin just to hold it in place then wrap a stretchy headband around my bun to make it a little cuter and to hold everything in place more.

i was in target and forgot my conditioner! i will be cowashing this weekend. i will be working on giving my hair as much slip as possible. i would like to wash my hair once a week, since there is so much detangling going on. but i would have to ease up on product usage and M&S every other day.

Henna for me this weekend!!!! I think I need a more moisturizing conditioner than I used last time or maybe I just need to keep the conditioner on a little longer than I did. My hair felt strong but not that soft?

I always DC with a combination of Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm, Roux Porosity Control Conditioner, QB Honey Hydrating Balm, sesame oil, EVOO and my mix of grape seed/safflower oils. (Being very light handed on the oils). I then steam in all the goodness. I did a henna treatment on the weekend and decided to DC without heat for a few hours and the results were the same...soft silky, easy to detangle hair. For me, I can never do an overnight DC with this combo because I will get moisture overload.

think i will go back to nioxin shampoo and conditioner for fine chemically treated hair. i can't use heavy conditioners at this point. but i just read a review that the ingredients have changed. i really liked that stuff back 8 years ago.

Finally finished my hair bout 30 min ago. Not much growth since I did a mini chop over a course of 3mths. My goal is to not trim my hair unless I need too & do dustings in between. On the bright side, my hair has gotten thicker. Trying 2 stay positive I will try 2 post pics 2morrow.

@ Pelohello Do you use a ponytail holder and a clip? If not how do you keep the pulled back hair slicked down and not poufy?

I am finally taking these extension braids out. My hair seems stronger. And seems like ive retained. Cant wait to have à better look.
For thé first time it is not dry nor greasy dry. Feels good and strong.
I used braid spray when needed (sulfur 8) i had No itching at all for once. And this time i slept with à bonnet to protect hair at night. O mostly did updos with thé braids. When i bunned,i pulled thé braids at.hairline to loosen them .
Im.gonna wear my hair for 2 weeks then wig i guess. I might straighten not sûre yet. I will dust too.
And start exercising regulary. Hope all this will help me out.

ok! now i get what you are saying. you want your hair more sleek/slicked down.
you will have to use some type of ponytail holder to get more tension. when i want my hair more sleek, i use a satin ponytail holder or a silicon/rubber elastic band/ponytail holder from Goody. i only do that if i am trying to e a little more fancy with my bun. i don't do that on a daily basis because i don't want to cause unwanted tension/breakage.

Yes, I use an outch-less ponytail holder and then clip the actually pony up with a butterfly clip.

As promise here are the pics from my latest texturizer. I used Linange Shea Butter Texturizer and did the half-half method. For the front I left it on for about 15-20 min and for the back I left it in for 12-15 min. I did the mid-step protein (Aphogee), then a neutralizing conditioner and then a neturalizing/Chelating shampoo. I then air-dried and flat ironed.
Last week, I cut about an inch off, and for the last 2mths I had cut another inch off. I have a hard time telling whats damaged or just dry ends, so I am making a personal goal to not trim unless needed. I am soooo happy I relaxed instead of waiting like a usually do. I relaxed at 19-20wks. I keep wanting to strech my relaxers for 6mths but my hair keeps telling me NOOOOOOOO!!!
So for this strech my PS will be buns & curlformers. I am going to hold-off on braid-outs unless I have an acne breakout & need to cover my face
The 1st pic is a Jan-Mar 2013 comparison. The rest are from yesterday. I think I made sum good progress since Jan, but not too much since March.
Happy Growing

pelohello
love it! it looks so lush!
i'm on the hunt today for another deep conditioner. i need one that will melt into my hair and that is light, but does the job. i don't want it runny though. i may get some more Mizani MoisturFusion. i am going to wash my hair early in the morning tomorrow.

I am just trying the whole komaza line today, from shampoo to styler.
So far so good, I have used their protein treatment, and really like it! it is creamy, not runny like the others, although it hardens while using heat, the hair is left soft and strong.
will try a curly fro for tomorrow!

i would like to treat that type of treatment. the Aphogee is too runny and it gets sticky/hard quickly. i want to do another treatment by the end of next month. i may order it this weekend.
i had to breakout the denman brush today. i decided to remove some tangles and shed hairs to prep my hair for tomorrow's cowash. i m&s each section, combed through with my jumbo rake comb, and went a second round with my denman. i still have a few more sections to go. i also did a light dusting. i have been dusting my hair a lot the past couple of weeks.
i see i gotta use some type of comb or brush during the week to keep my hair from becoming a tangled mess. plus, it helped me to evenly distribute product better.
