*Question of the Day!!!*

This one just popped in my head while looking at these goofy pigtails.

What do you do with your hair at night for bed or around the house when you're off?

My hair is in a bun pretty much throughout out the weekdays, even at night. I twist my hair around itself to make a bun and then I secure with a ponytail holder. Best thing ever. No breakage during take down. Hope it gives me much needed length this year.

PR is a US territory so yeah it is part of the US lol. They just voted on becoming a state during their election in November. No there's no PO on base,but I don't live on base. We live on the economy which is SO much better than living in base housing here. They suck big time! Everything goes through the USPS post office whenever we ship anything out unless we use UPS or FedEx.

Sent from my Android...Boom.

Oh wow...good for them and yea, the base housing in Germany was like living in the projects, we lived OB, it's a toss up depending on how long it's been since they updated the housing.

What do you do with your hair at night for bed or around the house when you're off?

Depends on what my hair is like at the moment: if I'm in any style that has my hair hanging w/ the potential to brush against my shoulders, it's in a high bun with a few bobby pins. Anything else, I put my silk scarf on until it's time to go out again.

my hair has been flat ironed for the week and I see just how much my hair still breaks off, even as a natural. What am I doing wrong? I have all these pieces around my edges and in my crown that are just random short hairs, and I noticed that many of them are extremely thin toward the end, even though I have just recently flat ironed, so I know its not long term head damage or anything.

I'm sorry this is happening to you, I have dealt with some breakage at my nape and what I've learned is that I need to use more protein on that area and up the moisture like crazy; I also section that area off when I do anything. I wash it last, I only finger detangle and I use extra moisture back there. HTH.

I have a hair update. Definitely past APL now (atleast one layer has). I can't wait to see what my hair looks like come December.

You can tell I am a centre part addict. I even straighten my hair in two sections down the middle. Oh well.

Beautiful hair Lurkee you are giving me the itch to flat iron!!! You'll be at BSL in a few months for sure

I have nothing to report LOL. Since I've been on my little cornrows, I've been using a sulphur mix every night, that has lots of yummy oils (EVOO, coconut, vitamin E) in it for my perpetually dry scalp. Gonna wash these next weekend with diluted shampoo in an applicator bottle and condish the same. I'm really hoping these hold up through the 2nd week of February or even the third week. HHJ ladies!

What do you do with your hair at night for bed or around the house when you're off?

I have a bonnet and satin pillow cases so depending on the style and how tired I am at bedtime, I do one or both.

when Im off, my hair stays in twists under a bonnet so i can do a twistout if Im gonna be going out. I may do over the front if Im gonna wear a beenie and leave out a bang.

if I do take them down for a twitout I'll wear that until its dead, then pin it up and wear a scarf.

My hair is usually always bunned at home, sometimes I just wear it in a ponytail. When I go to sleep if I'm not sleeping on a satin pillowcase, I tie it up with a silk scarf, admittedly the silk scarf works better than the satin pillowcase.

If it's in a wash & go I pineapple it. If it is in a protective style, I wear my pocket bonnet. Luckily I have an understanding DH who wants me to continue growing my hair out so he doesn't care.

At night I usually M&S my ends and put on silk scarf. Around the house I usually wear a ponytail or loose bun.

Lurkee Congratulations on your progress, what do you use use to hold your hair in a pontail?

I use a metal free band. I just don't make ponytails. My hair doesn't go through it, its there to hold my twist bun in place.

 

[Sholapie]

Qotd: which i love btw NikkiQ lol I usually clip it up, looks semi fancy and keeps hair off shoulders. If im bunning i take it down and redo it much looser.

Moving house on Saturday away from a very good bss so im stocking up big time on staples tomo to save travel money...and because shopping is fun

 

[Seamonster]

HeChangedMyName I went through that big time. Keep at it as you refine your regime and really listen to your hair you can be in a better hair place. I remember, I couldn't believe anyone had days without breakage, now I do too.

 

[Seamonster]

It is winter, and my hair is officially in hibernation. I wear the same single french braid for weeks on end. I was thinking of adding a bang, but I already changed my mind. I think I will add a hat or beenie for the winter

What do you do with your hair at night for bed or around the house when you're off?

Most nights I put my scarf on, even if it looks a hot mess underneath. There are nights here and there were I won't put it up. I probably should try to mosturize every night, but I'm not good about doing that.

My hair varies when I'm just around the house. If I was wearing a wig, then my hair will just look like whatever I happen to have been hiding on the wig, which usually is single braided bun, or several braids if I know I'm going to sport a braidout in soon. More often then not, it probably is in several braids prepping for the braidout, and there may or may not be rollers on the ends.

 

[gabulldawg]

I wear a silk bonnet to bed. When I'm off or at home I usually keep my hair up unless I've flat ironed it. then I like it to swang.

 

[NikkiQ]

Got a satin bonnet that I wear at night...I also found a satin "doo- rag" that has no elastic but has an elongated bonnet area and ties like a scarf, its kind of like scarf with a seam up the middle so my hair is completely covered. I like it because my hair doesn't get scrunched like it does with my regular bonnet.

I wear a satin bonnet and have a "silky pillow" that's what my baby calls it that I rep on I ps alot though so I really only put my bonnet on if I'm in for the day

 

[UGQueen]

Relaxed my hair today and tried to do a corrective but no luck.
Had to wash the front half out a little early cause it started to burn. Major fail hopefully not a set back tho.
Here is a length check (this is not how I wear my usual bra btw). so I'm about the same it feels.
Idk oh wells

And my left side is wayy shorter than my right :$

ETA: I air dried until 50% dry and then blow dried. And quickly flat ironed some poofy parts.

I keep a satin scarf on while I'm in the house except for when we have company.

*Question of the Day!!!*

Are any of you ladies taking vitamins or supplements to help you on your HHJ? If so, which ones??

I finally ordered all of my vitamins but I haven't started taking them yet
Liquid Multi
Fish oil
biotin
Kelp
B50

BTW I dc with the Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque again today. I've seen some not so favorable reviews but my hair is loving it so far. The first time I tried it I liked it, I wasn't wow'd by it but I liked it. Today I added a tsp of olive oil and dc for 45mins. I loved the results. My hair was soft but strong, also when I comb through my hair I didn't have a single strand of hair in my shower comb, which I always do. Now I need to keep my fingers out of my hair.

Thank you Mjon912, I think the way you twist the flatiron makes all the difference. My hair never used to curl well but now that it is healthy and I have more length, I have more "ends" to curl.

Good luck on your pregnancy, hope you enjoy the extra boost to your hair from all that nourishment.

 

[NikkiQ]

We got another preggers lady in here???? Congrats Mjon912!! Now all yall know we wanna see pics of these precious littles ones when they arrive

 

[naturalagain2]

I'm 1 wk in my protective style. It still looks good. I've been 'juicing' 2x daily. I used my growth oil 2x this week. It really soothes my scalp.

 

[NikkiQ]

Looking at old pics now since my 2 year nappiversary is slowly creeping up. Can't believe how long it has been already!

 

[bajandoc86]
