Atm I have crochet braids in too keep my hair out the way. Ive had them in a week and already im bored!!!!!! I have been using castor oil so il see how that goes. How are you ladies? :)
 
Ok so my move to CT has went smoove but this hard water ain't cutting it! I'm pissed I didn't expect to come out here and get a setback I need to research shower head softeners but from what I see they are expensive as heck and we have enough to pay for Im not trying to be mean but I haven't seen even a handful of healthy hair out this way I feel like I'm in the twilight zone of ate up hair I've only seen non black women with healthy long hair so far

I bought a Sprite water filter from Lowes for both showers. Super easy to install and it was only about $20. I could immediately tell the difference in my skin and hair. Check Lowes. You should be able to find something.
 
I took out a twist last night and my ends felt quite dry. Not sure why. Maybe it's the new sulfur pomade I'm trying. NJoy's oil never made my hair dry, so I'm not sure if it is really the sulfur. *shrug*

It might be that I used Vanilla Silk (has proteins) to DC and added Aphogee Green Tea as as leave in underneath my Komaza products. Usually I use a protein free DC prior to spraying the Aphogee, but this time I didn't. I probably won't do that again. :look: I baggied with some Komaza Califia spray and Califia moisturizing cream last night and my ends look/feel better this morning. If they feel dry by the end of the day, I'll probably do a quick mid week DC with NG Herbal Blends, Sitrinillah, or Shea What! Deux :yep:
 
My 9 weeks of NG is acting all cute. I think it's trying to convince me to transition. But I have a section of hair that is just barely texlaxed and I'm not a huge fan, so I'm sure my NG is just trying to fool me.
 
My hair is soooo tangled and matted. I started detangling yesterday. I will def wash my hair today. I hope I didnt cause a set back.
 
I'm currently on a no buy (after buying the soft hood dryer and Shea Moisture's Coconut& Hibiscus moisture milk) but I figured I'd pass this along after seeing it on the curlbox IG

Still in my twist extensions moisturizing daily. 5 weeks in. I will keep them in for 3 more weeks. I ask my friend/hairdresser to make me a wig out of the Brazilian bohyme hair I have. I plan to rock that when it gets cold.
 
Hey ladies! Ended up doing an overnite DC and not on purpose lol. I cowashed late last nite and after applying my DC and cap I kinda fell asleep. I rinsed out this morning and applied my leave in. My hair is soft, light, and fluffy in my wash n go for today. I will more than likely bun later because its way too hot down here in the south :)

Thanks so much girl! I have been researching all night I'm going out to get one this week
 
Did a quick 10-15 minute DC with Sitrinillah while in the shower. I like the ease of washing my twists, but they come out so messy when I'm done. Oh well. They are being braided/pinned up anyway.
 
Just finished washing my hair. Wasnt able to DC. I had alittle breakage from neglecting my hair & I had to cut out sum knots. I think I'm going to dust my ends tonight.
 
Heyyyyy ladies!!!! :wave:

I'm sorry I've been MIA lately. I recently moved back to the states to start working again and I'm still trying to get all settled in. My phone decided to just die on me yesterday so I'm without my LHCF app until my new phone arrives and fighting my step dad to use this laptop has been a serious battle. He lucky I love him b/c I was about ready to take him out!!!

I'm gonna do my best to check in with you ladies as much as I can until I get my phone in and hopefully buy a new laptop with my first paycheck :woot:

Welcome back!! Are you in the back in the states for good?
 
I hope I'm not dusting my hair too much. I dusted last night b/c I had a couple of fairy knots and I figured if I have a couple, there are probably more. I hope I'm not hindering my rentention by dusting too much.

When yall see too many knots & splits, do yall dust or S&D?

I dust once a quarter MAX and use search and destroy in-between as necessary. I can be a little scissor-happy, so I have to set clear boundaries. I have to do the same with hair regimens, too. Otherwise, I'm like "This doesn't work!" mid-way through a DC. :-D I'm impatient.

I want to take out this sew-in, but then again I don't. I want to take out next weekend, because I start Airman Leadership School in 2 weeks and I don't want them to say anything about the bob being out of regs. I really, really don't feel like dealing with my hair though and my touch up isn't until Sept 21. Decisions, decisions lol.
 
I wonder how accurate are pull length checks? I did a pull mini LC & I'm getting excited cause I see alittle growth :yay: I think it's b/c I'm eating more fruits & veggies.
 
Just touched up my roots today w/ texturizer. I haven't done a length check for a few months now. I wanted to wait until my b-day next month but I just couldn't resist.
I never made it past APL and now I'm about an inch away from BSL!!!!! :yep:
Can't wait to post a pic for the next check in. I'm currently DC'ing with Aussie Moist 3 Min Miracle.
 
I can't believe I spent $14 for 2 oz of Chi silk infusion. The Sally's knock off is waaay cheaper but it has alcohol in it. This stuff better be like liquid gold.
