Mine is WL stretched :yep:

My ultimate goal length is full MBL stretched... unless my hair still looks SL when curly, then I may have to have a rethink

Good question @NikkiQ I love the QOTD's



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:

itsjusthair88 isn't that the best feeling?? When I was first able to put my braids in a bun, I was shouting it from the moutain tops :lol:
 
I honestly don't want To long again. Whip Length is my goal. I think it is LonG enough to be long and manageable as well. I expect to see that within the next three years.

ultimate goal is Hip Length stretched.

though I take Damaged but not outs point about maybe not being able to manage more than maybe MBL to WL, which is why I'll settle for WL as I have in my siggy...... But I'll see when I reach there
 
I've always wanted full TBL but I've been really considering making Full WL my final goal. I'm ready to start enjoying the fruits of my labor.
 
Hey ladies! I've missed you all! I'm still wigging, bunning, rollersetting and all that jazz, but been crazy at work. On tomorrow I will officially be 11 weeks post and I'm so excited. My hair still feels great, no breakage issues or major shedding. Tonight I'll get in my protein and an extra good deep conditioning in preparation for next week's relaxer on Friday. I can wait to my length check!! I hope its all good.

I've been spraying my newgrowth with S-curl every other night just to keep things moist at that demarcation line. Anywho, I need to get on to the QOD, I want healthy waist length, will be happy with "whip" if I can make by December 2014. I hope to make waist length by my 4 year healthy hair journey which is May 2014. I think I'll make it, but only time and patience will tell!
 
NikkiQ Yep, it is, I've been able to put my twists and braids up for a while, but that was after I stretched and banded and dried and all that jazz, but these little shrunken thangs(LOL)? Yea, I'm really happy!

*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...

Mine is Wen WVM :yep: all day and grape seed oil! I know shortdub78 had some issues with WEN and I hate that you had that experience, but its been the business for me and my daughter. We even do better when we add a bit of S-curl in the mix.

Now I am thinking about trying Elasta QP Mango moisturizer that everyone is giving rave reviews, but I havent yet.

your hair can take a lot of protein! glad you got good results!
 
just cowashed with Tresemme Naturals. now i am dc'ing with Aussie 3 min. i like the consistency of the conditioner. after i dc, i am going to apply my leave-ins, air dry, then dust.

i think i am going to blow dry on cool for the most part.

Just clarified my almost two weeks dirty hair with ORS Aloe and then one wash with CON Argan oil poo, now doing a protein treatment with AO GPB and then deep condition with CON Argan conditioner and an oil of choice. Here goes my night.
 
I am loving these twists too much lol, I'm so glad we didn't try to braid my baby hair! Have a good weekend ladies!

Next weekend, I may try to experiment with some styles.

NikkiQ my ultimate goal length used to be waist length but I keep moving the goal post (all that hair porn got me wanting unicorn hair :lachen:), now I'm looking at somewhere between WL and TBL :grin:

JJamiah Was there a really big difference between the maintenance of your hair at beyond WL to when you were WL?

lindsaywhat Glad your hair came out lovely :). How are you able to keep your hair in a bun while wigging? If I tried that I would have a nice hump coming through my wig

Angel of the North , I always compare it to thread that is longer than arms length. I feel whip or waist is more manageable. I found my patience thinned at my longest.

So pretty! such a pretty smile!

i like Aussie 3 min miracle! but i need to get a new detangling spray and i need to alternate what dc i use. i will use the ORS mayo on wash day 1 and on wash day 2, i'll use the aussie. i am really trying to hang in there as far as stretching. i had a few broken hairs detangling. (i used my fingers and was not very patient) but i know i could use some more strength to my hair.

i believe this was my first time using Doo Grow hair oil. i like it as well. after i moisturized my new growth and hair, i use some on my scalp and my hair to seal. i applied to my scalp is certain sections, so i could concentrate on my new growth. my hair feels pretty soft. i tried to dust my ends, but i need to do it on straighter hair. so i will wait and just try to keep my ends in check until relaxer time.

I put the bun really really low and I try and make it as small as possible wrapped in the Baggie.
 
I'm thinking about doing some henna this weekend. I've only done it once since being natural and the henna didn't color as much, and my hair seemed hard. Do you all have any suggestions on how to make the henna work better?
 
My hair has been in corn rows for the last couple of weeks. My hair hates manipulation but i try to redo the end ones especially when they become frazzled so my edges keep in tact. I think i'll be keeping them in for another 2 weeks.

Side note: i hate washing my hair. I have to prepare my body soul and mind:sad:
