I have been cowashing twice a week, DC once a week, and baggying on lazy days lol. Making sure not to manipulate the NG at all. So far so good.

When my hair is straight, I either wrap it, pin curl it or just put it up in a high bun at night.

I 2nd wrapping your hair. I have been cross wrapping my hair. I find that to be easier to wrap my hair than the "regular" wrapping.

Yeeeeaahhh, so note to self: only henna your hair on the weekends newnyer. LOL. So last night around 6pm I felt inspired to henna & sat down on the couch to watch TV during my 4 hour wait. I'm usually a late nighter so I figured as long as I can rinse & put my DC in by midnight I was cool. WHY did I fall asleep??! I woke up to my alarm clock for work, with henna & saran wrap still on my head. LOL Needless to say I was scrambling to at least get the majority out of my head (it ALWAYS takes FOREVER for me)-didn't even look down the drain to see how much I had left in my hair. Slapped my hair in a bun & vowed to do the rest tonight. Let's hope my hair doesn't fall out in the mean time. LOL

Sooo almost a week in my twists...loving them and its making my hair routine so simple. I'm going to wash for the first time next weekend - with some diluted CON (old formula) and DC with SSI avocado conditioner. Yes, I'm planning ahead...I'm used to having to do more with my hair. Every night, I'm moisturizing with SSI tahitian vanilla and coconut and massaging my scalp with liquid gold sulfur or my MN oil mix. Styling my twists at night (if I want to change the style), wrapping it up and then when I wake up, I just go!!!

My tu did not go well. How do I have so much newgrowth in only 8 weeks!? It was like a forest up in there. But, tbh, I don't mind too much. My goal is to texlax less and less so I guess this is just another step. I have to flat iron my roots before I have any kinda idea how long it is. The ends look good though. And my Wen came, so yay. I have something to look forward to next washday.

I like those plaits, I think they are a great PS. I tried to get my stylists to put some in for me but she refused
I dont even remember now why she refused, I think she said they wouldn't look good or something like that.
anhyhoo maybe I could get them done smaller and be able to style them in updos and such ... hmmmmmm

I think I'm going to rock a twist out for a few days. I've been doing roller sets for the past two weeks. My roots are getting a little thick, but I really want to try to stretch for three months this round. We will see if I can! These roots are no joke.

This is as small as I'm comfortable with doing. I did a set smaller than this before and hated them! Kept them in for about a week and a half. Fuzzy wuzzy mess

Chronically at BSL -_-
I trimmed this morning, a little...cut some of the scraggly and heat damaged ends from around my head. I want to trim more, but I'm really not good at self-trimming (a 2013 goal) but when I go and get my flat iron and trim in March, I don't want her to have to take a chunk off, so I need to work on that.
In my medium twists, and they look pretty cool, planning on moisturizing with Taaliah Waajid Mist and tying them up when I get home. That's it for me
growbaby I watched your video, very beautiful hair, do you keep it straight most of the time?
NikkiQ I think those are a great size, small enough to still move them and style, but not so small that it took you hours and hours to put in or take out.

My shedding has stopped! I have much less breakage!! I'm a happy camper!! The garlic extract, the Roux Porosity Control Shampoo & Conditioner and overnight DC worked wonders and my hair feels magnificent!! No more rollersets until after I relax in two weeks, I need to CW mid-week and keep my hair in a bun for easy access to my scalp and NG. Back to putting QB AOHC directly on my new growth and sealing my ends with JBCO. I see I can't be hair lazy with my fine strands, NO WAY, NO HOW.

I didn't have time to rollerset and dry last night, but thanks to this challenge (and rollerset challenge), I also did NOT use the blowdryer! I wanted to airdry, but it was too cool and would have taken too long, so I just sat under the hood dryer with my hair down. I also didn't flat iron. I slept in a bonnet. My hair is straight today and I'll roll or wrap it tonight. Yay me for no (direct) heat! I know my hair could be much longer and healthier if I hadn't use the blowdryer and flat iron so much.

Had to retwist my kinky twists and check on my hair...kept having thoughts that my hair was broken and thinning. I have no idea why I had these thoughts 
erplexed but after checking I saw that my hair is still going strong

Just finished co-washing, gonna moisturise and seal now, my hair is loving the mid-week co-wash, so far so good.

I've still been using my WGO and JBCO every other night. I trimmed that inch off and I don't feel like I miss it, knowing that my hair is growing faster than normal . NO, I can't see any growth yet, I just feel it though.

Went to the bss today and bought cantu shea butter grow strong strengthening treatment and wheatgerm oil. Got home, co-washed and then used the cantu as a leave in and sealed with wheat germ and EVCO. My hair feels amazing! Usually I use mixed chicks leave in but I have been fully converted!! My hair feels soft and moisturised, my curls are really defined and I haven't had as much shrinkage as usual so it is the first time I have felt comfortable wearing a wash n go out the house. And the best thing is its a third of the price! Very happy

Hair Veda Moist24/7 under SM curl enhancing smoothie.... moisture for days.
I can easily get a 3 days of serious from this combo when wearing a twistout. if Im in twists it can last a week (only re moisturizing my ends)
I prefer a nice medium thickness cream that's primarily waterbased, but has a touch of oil/butter also
