It's cute jprayze!!! How does the back look??

Just got back from Wal-Mart and decided to treat myself to a jar of Silicone Mix. Amazing how many Dominican products they had in there. Even saw something with Chinese writting on it. I ain't brave enough to try that out.

I love that you can get Dominican products from Walmart. Here's the back

Sooo...


Does one's curl pattern change? My hair used to be one way a lot tighter curls. Now it's looser curls and tight waves... Still cottony and very prone to frizz.

My hair used to just be tight curls. The reason why I ask is because I've colored my hair in the past (can change texture) but my color is basically out in the back and maybe an inch or two in the front.

I've also straightene my hair. I KNOW what heat damage looks like, and this ain't it... But maybe when I get my hair professionally straightened its sort of heat training?

Anyone who DOES NOT straighten their hair who's texture changed?

Texture shots on freshly washed hair just for fun lol

So I broke my laptop and my huge bottle of omega 3 capsules. I KNEW I shouldn't have started doing any hohousework :lachen:

I'll have to buy a new power cord, ah boy. Atleast I have my tablet.

About 3/4 way through packing away laundry and also colour coded my closet.

On the hair front, I remoisturized and put in some chunky twists because I think we may be going out tonight.

I took down my braids and just applied my Hot six oil on my scalp and hair as a pre poo for my shampoo and DC tomorrow.

When I was natural, the longer my hair got, the looser my curl pattern became, for 5.5 of the 7 years I was natural the only heat I used was a blow dryer once every 4-6 wks, so I know it wasn't heat damage (my hair was very healthy) and I never dyed my natural hair. ImanAdero you sound like my hair twin, only I'm relaxed now :lol:

I was actually thinking of a sew-in after these twists are out. The main thing is making sure that your hair is prepared for the install and just take care of it (as much as possible) the same way you always do.
 
Time to get started with wash day!! No beach for me today. I'm burnt out from the past 2 weekends baking in the sun so it's hair pampering day. Contemplating installing some medium sized twists for the week or whenever. Just worried about them not staying put once I'm done.
 
Good morning, just got done shampooing and DC. Now im sitting under dryer with rollers in my head. When I take down the rollers I will wear the set for today and braid up my hair tonight for my wig this week.

Girl! I was considering a sew-in and saw a chic document her pregnancy with them...she now has 3 bald patches...no no no. I can't even imagine. Braid extensions work well for me so I hope to get my hair braided again in March.
 
Hair has been shampooed and Silicone Mix has been applied. Gonna leave it on for an hour, detangle while it's still on, rinse out and wing it from there.
 
finger detangling and smoothing my hair while it air dries. i am experiencing now breakage at the moment. using the oil first then a cream is really making my hair soft. i didn't use my liquid leave-in either.

just bunned and put my scarf on. my hair feels good and no breakage.
 
NikkiQ lucky to have the option of the beach in January!!!! and to be able to buy Dominican products in Walmart!!! You bout that life!!! lol. I cant wait to hear how you feel about SM, I wasnt impressed but it seems my hair hates most things that other people love...

I dont want to do anything to my hair, but on this journey I must do what it takes to get there!!! I am so ready to texlax but after the alter ego my new growth is soft, even so I am not spending 30 dollars on it anymore.

Same here. The last time I had a sew-in I itched like crazy and my edges thinned some but I'm sure it was the installation. I want to hide my hair during the final weeks of my stretches but I'm just to scared.

I'm planning to CW with Trader Joe's Nourish Spa and of course, air dry. I love not having breakage and shedding. The mid-relaxer protein step worked!

Yeah Puerto Rico has it's pros and cons. I'm sure I'll be incorporating more Dominican products in my reggie since they're easier to get than products I can get back in the states. The SM felt nice going on and I could see how my hair seemed to be more tamed when I put it on versus other DCs. But Lord the smell!! Smells like my grandma's house after she spilled a bottle of White Diamonds or Red Door or something.
