Thx for the tip. I hope I can go w/o a trim for more than 3 months. But if not, I'll just do it as necessary.

Congrats on making BSL. March is my MBL goal as well.

Today is gonna be wash day for me! Gonna get an early start on it so I can figure out what I'm gonna do with it. I bought the Keracare hydrating detangling shampoo that the stylist used on me last week. That mess was EXPENSIVE!! Lord I thought I would pass out when I saw the price 
But it was awesome last week with melting the tangles in my hair.

@pellohello Yay! Nice results. It doesn't look just thicker...it looks longer too. Glad it worked for you. I'm thinking I will try again next month to see if it helps me any.
Today was wash day for me. I will put it in twists again this week and pin them up as usual. Next week I may go ahead and roller set to get a nice stretch before doing my twists.

Wow, your hair is really pretty. What is "inversion"??

I keep trying to use my BoBeam shampoo bars, but I keep getting a waxy feeling upon rinsing. I guess that means my water is harder than I thought. I mean when I use a regular shampoo I don't get this feeling and my water doesn't leave stains or anything. I bought a shower filter, but I live in an apt where you can't replace the head unless you take the whole entire arm thingy out of the wall. 
I may go ahead and buy some gallons of distilled water and see how they work next week.

TheRealMe it is when you oil your scalp with warmed/or unwarmed oil for a minute, then hang your head upside down for four minutes to get the blood flowing to your follicles. Some people have had an inch of growth in a week with it. I personally did not see any growth, but I may try it again next month for umm... "hits and giggles." There are a couple threads about it. Here is the most recent one.

pelohello Girl I oiled every day with either my NJoy oil or Pomade shop sulfur pomade. I think maybe because I had been massaging every day/every other day anyway, my scalp was like "really though?"
I will try again in November and make sure I warm the oil even though I don't think this really matters since in the original thread, ppl weren't warming it.

**Question of the Day**
(haven't done this in a while)
As we close end on the end of the year ALREADY (geez this year is flying by), what are some things that you learned/discovered about your hair? Anything that helped you thrive? Did you change your reggie all together because of it?

QOD: I've learned that my hair is low porous and that played far greater part in how I care for it than the texture of my natural hair. Also learned that next fall/winter I will play around with heat a little more it's far better than knots and tangled ends

QOTD: I have learned that I cannot detangle my hair unless it is dry and a leave in is applied. I also learned that I have low porosity hair and how to deal with that. I ended up incorporating tea rinses this year and I upped my cowashing to twice weekly. Reggie hasn't changed much and it's still pretty simple!!

I discovered that my fine strands are just that, they are fine no matter how long I stretch or how much I texlax. Also, my natural texture is nappy as all getup, wheew! No/lo heat regimen is my saving grace and NO manipulation. I did change my regimen...I have gotten extremely hair lazy and only wash, moisturize on an as needed basis. It's been whatever for about three months now and I think my hair is thanking me for it. I make sure to spritz my NG and M&S my ends then say whateva!

QOTD: I learned that the LOC method works well for my hair. I also learned that I should detangle my hair when it's about 80% dry to minimize breakage.

As the year closes I have discovered that my ends no longer likes small twists. It makes my heart sooooo sad too. It just never does well got me though. So in the new year I'll try a different method of making sure the ends of my twists don't get tangled.
Also, my hair does REALLY well in these extensions. I get growth like nobody's business. So I will make sure I continue to do protective styles in the new year.
Deep conditioning is a MUST in the new year.
I never have a strict Reggie. I could've probably been to WL by now if I did (and didn't visit hatin *** stylists but that's neither here nor there). I'm going to try to stand by something more concrete in the new year.

Oh and I also learned that I still don't know my hair type lol. I've never really even tried to porosity test. My hair is dense but I have no idea if it's thick or fine... Heck, I don't even know how I'd really type my hair anyway. Sometimes I think it's 3c, then I think it's 4A, 4B and sometimes 4C...
But I guess it's all okay.

I don't think I've learned anything new. Oh yeah, I have some coarser strands in the back of my crown, which I believe I need to finger detangle instead of using a comb and massage every day.
