Washed and 100% air dried on Friday, I said good bye to the flat iron and blow dryer for now. I actually loved the results. My hair looks and feels about 3 times as thick. To dry I scarfed the front and twisted the back. It could of dried smoother if I didn't comb out so soon or curled the ends.

Pinned bun, no hair added. Gotta work on making it even

M&S with E QP mango butter and EVOCO
I've been using my new Hollywood Beauty castor oil on my scalp every other day since I got it. There's so many great reviews for it on YouTube (mostly white girls)
 
i oiled/buttered my twists
put them up in a french braid (still learning)
then i decided that i wanted to spritz my hair with water...so i did that later.

keeping those ends hidden.
trying to keep manipulation low.

week one of these mini twists...done
today is day 8, so just entering week 2.
still looking good.

I love their carrot oil, that's the oil of choice for me this month I'll be using it to seal, mixing in my prepoos and using for HOTs. I've never tried any of their other oils. I really like the ingredients of the carrot oil too.
 
Got my touch up on Saturday so I'm just enjoying my hair for this week, I'm not fully PSing but I am wearing my hair in a ponytail. After wash day it will be back to bunning. I'm moisturising with ORS olive oil and sealing with Hollywood Beauty carrot oil, I've been using a silk headscarf every night too :grin:
 
Is it me or did this year fly by?? Can't believe it's time to think about hitting BSL already.
 
I'm surprised I kept APL long enough to even JOIN a BSL challenge. The last time I reached APL I was set back to SL after a "trim", then when it reached APL AGAIN, I ruined it by relaxing bone straight and coloring bright red (at the same dam time lol) so I ended up transitioning and big chopping. Now my best friend keeps trying to talk me into cutting my hair and I'm like LOOK HEIFER, let me get it long and enjoy it, THEN we can do all the crazy crap u want lol.
 
Lol!! She's done so much stuff to her hair and it still LOOKS ok, but I can tell its not healthy. She's bleached and done crazy colors, she flat irons a lot and I'm just not into that. Long hair means nothing to me if its damaged and unhealthy.
 
ugh dealing with some annoying breakage. wondering whether to do a hard protein or henna treatment soon..
 
I used Henna years ago but very consistently and got good results. I've only used the aphogee 2 step once but got really good results in terms of instantly stopping breakage.
It isn't bad breakage but I want to nip it in the bud :) Have you used either?

Aphogee's 2min treatment is one of my staples. I use it every 4 to 6 weeks. Keeps breakage at bay for me :yep:
 
Someone bumped up the henna thread last week and I read through about 10 pages before deciding I want that auburn /burgundy color. Natural color and stronger hair? Sounds good to me. I am so loving this Wen Ginger Pumpkin as a daily leave in. Smells good and feels good sealed in with coconut or olive oil. Think I'll be here for a while. #happyhairhappylife
 
I had made it to 3 day hair... Then realized I wasn't gonna push it. I've been wanting to try the marley bun, so here it is. It's a completely different color than my natural hair haha, but oh well! I'm still gonna wear it for the rest of the week.

Going to call the salon back home and try to make an appointment. Hopefully they're open right around Christmas. I don't wanna do like I did last year. Get it done on the 21st and it revert by Christmas Eve :nono:
 
Hey ladies,

My Tammy half wig looks AMAZING after it becomes worn. When I first take it out of the bag, I'm brushing and flipping and teasing the life out of it :lol:
 
^^^I got a few wigs that look AMAZING after a few wears and shakes, but straight stringy and ugh out the bag. My DH has seen me doing all kinds of stuff to my wigs when I first get them and just shakes his head at me :lol:

LOL....My length checks are every time I shampoo and DC :lol:. It drives me insane because I know for a fact that I will only get 4"/year :spinning: but I'm always checking to see if a miracle has happened
