Ladies I'm really loving my hair in these box braids. I finally hv a style with out extensions that I love. And the best part is I was able to wear my wig when I wanted a different look. I co washed them this weekend and now on week 2. I hope to keep them for 3 weeks. I'm gonna try rock these until the end of the year.

Your braids look great. I luv the color.
 
I'm sooooo tempted to straighten my hair but I'm really trying to wait until next year. If I do straighten, I will try to wait until our next length check.

I'm tempted to straighten too, especially now that monsoon is over and there is almost no humidity :grin:

Only problem is I've started working out regularly and hard. So I dont know how to maintain straight hair at this length and work out the way I am. When I was military I just kept my hair bunned all the time (i was also relaxed back then too soooooo). Now though? I think wng are my only options, or wash and ponies.

That's what I'm sticking to also; either WnG's or braidouts. I'm beginning to workout out more and it would be a waste for it to curl up as soon I start running. I think what I'll do is when we have our length check I'll straigten and just do weight lighting while my hair is straight:yep:
 
Just took my hair down from yesterday's wash day and put it in a VERY low bun. Virtually no tension with this placement. I like it. I've started noticing that the hair around my right temple is thinning a bit. Not entirely sure why, but I'm happy I noticed it now versus later.
 
I just wanted to come and brag on my mini-me's Bantu knot out! We finally cut the bulk of her relaxed ends (she cried :-( I felt bad but it was needed for the health of her healthy natural hair) and washed and dc'd overnite. Then I blew it out (her request) and did one pass of the flat iron and we used Grapeseed oil! The shine it gave is amazing! She wants to be WSL natural by hs graduation shell be a freshman this year!

I NEED to do bantu.knots. her hair looks great
 
I want to be able to wear a wash n go, but I don't have the patience to figure out what products would work for me and I don't want to cut off my bonelaxed ends. :ohwell:
 
Been loving this low bun today. Time to take it down, LOC, and braid. Then back up in a bun tomorrow. Lather, rinse, repeat.

At work bored anticipating hair wash day tomorrow:) I think I'm going to DC 2morrow instead of my regular co-wash. Gotta get those extra inches by the end of this year.
 
polished07 girl you did good! Every time I ever tried a bantu knot out I always look like big worm off Friday!!! And that was with WL hair so I'm not even going to pretend to try it on the four hairs I have now
 
Oh yeah I wore a bun today at work! I was all proud of my self lol

Not sure if I should wait til Nov to do a length check though. My Bday is in sept and I usually wear my hair straight on my Bday but I'm really liking my wng now at this length (finally) so I'll probably just do a wng for my Bday too.

I dont know when all the "official" length checks for the diff challenges are supposed to be. But I just did a length check not that long ago (when ever I joined this group lol) so I dunno

Lol its still in if you want to see the ratchetness that is my bun :lol:

End of Sept works since that's when my Bday is :) so I just may wear it straight after all


Also, I went through my old hair album and made my self sad. I miss my hair :( Like my long hair. It was one thing when I was growing my hair out to new lengths because I didnt know what it was like to be that length so it wasnt as big of a deal. But to have your goal length and then to start over. Its kind of lame some days =/

But then I feel bad for missing my hair cause its just hair. There is so much more important things in life than hair so then I make my self feel more lame. That's what I get for not working out today and eating 5 cookies!!!!

Yeah!!! LIBRAS IN THE HOUSE!!!!!

Ignore the foreigner in the background. I always have to have one of the three photo bomb me lol



My ratchet bun, messy kitchen and all lmfao
 
I went for my cellophane treatment and I was so tired and it was getting late so I let my stylist blow dry my hair instead of sitting under the dryer. It feels so dry now. Never again! Blow dryers are not for my hair.
 
Here's my hair after my stylist curled it. The curls are falling out already. I'm going to try and pin curl it over night. This is the last time my hair will be straight until my touch up in October so I'm not quite synced up with the length check schedule.

I love this sew-in, but I'm starting to miss my real hair. I plan to wear sew-ins on and off for the rest of the year though to retain as much length as possible before I trim. I'll probably take about a month break in between them.

So MzMoMo what is your hair story? Did you BC, have a setback, get attacked by a shs, cut it all off in a fit of jealous rage? Inquiring minds want to know. ;-)

And your bun is awesome!
