What's cross wrapping?

It's when u cross one side across the other, kinda like criss crossing pigtails but w/o the elastic holder. There's a good yt video on it, jenchris23 is the ytuber.

Half way done with my hair. Ugh. It's taking forever. No wonder I rarely flat iron my hair. It's looking great though! And the splitender was definitely worth the money. I'll post photos when I finish

*Question of the Day!!!!*

Okay ladies. I'm curious. What is everyone's go to moisturizer? Do you prefer creams, oil, butters, or a combo??
Click to expand...

I'm all late to the QOTD party :(

But I LOVE Shea radiance. I'm so glad my PJism went into effect that fateful day in Target, but yes! Use that then coconut oil on top and my hair is GOOD TO GO!

It's a shame, but I'm already contemplating my next style lol. I think I've had these in for maybe a week now... I just need to stop thinking about what's next.

Maybe I'll try this again buy won't make them so long, or I'll just do braids the whole way.

That would be awesome! Now planning next PS! :-)

Btw I mentioned to my coworkers that I was keeping my hair braided for a while and protected so it can continue to grow. They acted as if I was speaking a foreign language! Grow? Your hair can't grow any longer than it already is? Why would that help? I sigh, walk away and log on to LHCF!!!
 
My ultimate goal is hip length stretched which I hope will give me a nice bsl braidout. Hip length is 22 inches from nape to hip on me. So I've got 12 inches to grow hopefully 2.5 years if I can keep up this bunning haha.

I just gave myself an impromptu trim and measured my hair. My nape is 10 inches and my longer lengths are 12. From bottom of hairline (nape) to Bsl is 12 inches so hopefully I can reach there by May when I next touch up. I'm sure i'll be happy wherever I am (yeah right BSL here I come! lol) :)

THIS :grin:. with my shrinkage (which is 40%-50%) I think HL stretched will give me BSL Braidouts and Twistouts. Conversely, I would also be happy with an APL twist/braidout, which would be WSL on me (hopefully).

Soooo, I am still in my fat twists and today I had a pleasant surprise, I was able to put (most of) them back into a low bun with no problem! My hair didn't stretch very well with these, so I didn't think they would, but I'm digging it! Pic below...please excuse my face LOL:

I flat ironing between 320-355F, depending on the area I was straightening. Some areas my hair his finer than others so I changed it accordingly. Then I used the split ender 1-3 times on a small section at a time. I really like the split ender! I just hate flat ironing, there were many times I was fighting with my hair to detangle it really well. ...I'm used to finger combing.

Anyways, here's how it turned out. Today, I'm wearing it up in a high pony tail using a clip (i don't know what it's called). That's the last photo.

ETA: Sorry, for the photos being sideways! It looks normal on my computer, I don't know why it did that!!

Dang, you have to dust now because if the WEN? Yeah, you need to get rid of it. I'm sorry it didn't work for you.
