I love her channel, I subscribed last year! Have you seen her skits?? I wanted to try that on DD but its way to tedious for me.

I think I would only do 3 on each side and attach them together.

Wow @itsjusthair88!!! That is a big difference! Talk about some serious growth. Looks great

Thanks NikkiQ I think we're around the same length the texture, I'm always checking on your progress!

@itsjusthair88 Gorgeous, its growing! Can't wait to see the new wig!

Thank you KaramelDiva1978 I can't wait to wear it, I haven't rocked a straight wig in a while, so we'll see...

@itsjusthair88, well gosh darn that's a lot of hair. Ur retention is crayzie. Ur curls look sooo moisturized & soft.

Ha, it feels like it sometimes. Thanks, I am fighting with moisture retention at the moment

I straightened my hair today and added some curls, so this is an updated length check for me. Looks like i'm about 2-3 inches from bsl!!

Looks great, WTG!

Amazing progress @itsjusthair88, gorgeous hair

Thank ya, thank ya!

I had to show that picture to my mom you guys, she is always throwin' shade b/c she is a life-long relaxed girl and used to hate combing my hair as a child. I sent her a pic text saying "look at me now " HAHAHAHA

I think it'll be spaced too far apart to have the same effect as in the video. Then again, it just might be perfect.

Nothing to write home about. More like a light moisturizing mist to me.

Sent from my Android...Boom.

That's exactly how I felt. I wanted to get someone else's opinion, it's working well as a braid spray because its light, but it's not a repurchase for me.

*Question of the Day!!!*

What is one technique or style that you have down pat that you are the proudest of? Rollerset? Donut bun? Flat iron job? Wash n go? Mixing your own DCs and serums?

Definitely bunning. I pretty much wear buns every day to work, usually donut bun. Sometimes I change it up with my bun placement but definitely my coworkers would mention my bun if they were asked to describe me. If i could figure out the best way to keep my hair moisturized i'd probably wear my hair out more. Have my hair in curl formers right now so we'll see how that works.

Hey ladies I was gifted some new products...check em out at www.divabycindy.com



I haven't used them yet. I would like to try the wrapping lotion for a roller set.

 

[NikkiQ]

Thanks @NikkiQ I think we're around the same length the texture, I'm always checking on your progress!

You know what itsjusthair88? I think we may be hair twins now that I'm comparing our pics. Wow! I'll have to take a pic of mine wet today and post it to see how it compares to the one you just posted.

I think it'll be spaced too far apart to have the same effect as in the video. Then again, it just might be perfect.

I'll try 3 and if it looks a hot mess, I'll try 6 next time

That's exactly how I felt. I wanted to get someone else's opinion, it's working well as a braid spray because its light, but it's not a repurchase for me.

I got it with a stash I bought from someone on here a while back and I definitely won't be repurchasing it either.

I want to see pictures. I plan on doing the same this evening and will be posting while I'm under the dryer!

 

[NikkiQ]

Time to wash out my pre-poo, shampoo and DC with avocados and a few other goodies. May be going to the beach today and tomorrow so I need to make sure this hair is up and away from the salt water.

 

[Sholapie]

I hated the results of the flat twist out. I think i rolled the ends too much so I washed it out today and am doing a rollerset with small rollers. As soon ad I get a style down I will only style once a week. Im all about the low manipulation

 

[NikkiQ]

This is gonna be interesting lol

[Sholapie]

Ok I've been thinking of the qotd about styling and im really excited my answer may well be rollersetting! I used very small ones which only took an hour and 10 to dry.

Brushing out curls to wrap

 

[itsjusthair88]

@NikkiQ I kind of always suspected we were hair twins. Except for the color, and I'm about to dye my hair next week anyway.

I'm also contemplating using that threading method to stretch my hair for my mini-twists in either February or March. Just bought this new wig and I want to wear it for a month or so.

hair looks thick and juicy!

back on topic, i got my staples, but i still like trying out new things. i just recently started trying out Aussie Moist 3 min miracle. i like it so far. i also switched to ORS Mayo last month and that will be a staple too as well as the Replenishing. i am always looking for a good leave-in and moisturizing spray that won't wet my hair up.

i recently tried Roux PC conditioner and it has helped with smooth my hair back out, so i will keep it for awhile.

but it took me awhile to get to this place on my own. when i was going to stylists, i would use the product line they used on me that worked well for my hair.

it seems like what worked for me 8-9 years ago, doesn't do it so well for me now....

 

[Carmelella]

i had plenty of ideas and my cheap, no style, having friend isn't really down with it. i am not feeling her menu choice at all. it's the same thing at everybody's party. fried chicken, mostaccioli, salad, and rolls. i want the colors to be blue, brown, and orange. it is going to be co-ed, i want cupcakes instead of a cake, i'm not really into games. she shot down my cupcakes, said it was over the top.

my theme is a jungle. with lots of giraffes. i want a desert/sweets table. and a nice centerpiece.

i want to do karaoke instead of playing games. pick songs with having a baby or something? i know it might sound corny, but it's different.

so, it seems like i will be planning my own shower! but i need to get started! i am going to start on the invites this weekend. my other friend told me to just send e-invites, and text messages. i 'm not sure about that. i know that would be the cheaper route, but i know some folks don't like that or check their emails often.

i agreed to get the cupcakes, decorations, and secure the venue on my own. but i guess i will be getting the invitations on my own too. i want my friend to do the food, just something i would like to eat and something different.

i didn't plan my last two. i just want it more personal. something that goes with my personality. i'm not doing it for gifts, i want a nice get together! this is my last child.

ok, i know i have said a lot! oh i am having it the 3rd week of Feb. my due date is March 22nd, but i know i will be going in early if possible, due to scheduling my c-section.

Dang! Cheapo boring friends. How is she telling you that your idea for your baby shower is over the top? When did cupcakes become over the top? I like planning parties ,.. Wish we were friends, lol

Pictures from my last self relaxer 2 days ago. I got lazy and did it all at once instead of half and half. Surprisingly I got it pretty straight,.. The back straighter than the front. This time I added less conditioner and olive oil to my mix. Did suffer a lil burn or two but nothing crazy! I then dc'ed for hours and did a wet wrap. I really loved the results of the wet wrap. It was sooo easy instead of trying to rollerset. I didn't use mousse either. After, just to tame some fly always and smooth the roots in the front I flat ironed in huge sections at 230 degrees.

Eta: btw the unevenness isn't breakage. I do half hazard trims,.. I keep what's good and not afraid of going in with the scissors where I need to. When I get to swang length I'll make it even.

I have my staples but I'm torn. On the one hand if it ain't broke... But I never went through a PJ stage so what if there is something better out there? Something that will keep my wack patch on my hairline from looking so dry?

Anyway right now I use:

AOHSR to DC
Kenra platinum color care for poo
Kenra moisturizing or Aphogee 2 minute for conditioner
DB daily leave in or DB lemongrass transitioning cream as a leave in
