I was out at a bar.. You know alcohol and low self-esteem don't mix. It was for a birthday of a friends. Walking out at the end of the night they said something disrespectful to me assuming I wouldn't say anything in defense. Then it was all downhill from there. Smh

Yea I hope not, I was removing multiple small clumps the next morning though.. In its normal state it doesn't look any different. Which is why I'm not gonna straighten. At least it allows me to stay on my no heat challenge.

ETA: I think they were most upset when they tried to pull out my "tracks" and realized it was real. HA! Bruises will heal and my hair will grow back. They will always be ugly on the inside (and out). God bless Em.

I'm currently DCing under the dryer with Wen 613 :love: I love this stuff!

I don't have anything new to share... I really want to get my new growth texlaxed (it's been 6 months) but I don't trust many people in my area... And if I go up to San Francisco to get it done, it would cost me an arm and a leg.

So I'm just waiting til I fly back to the east coast in May. But then I wonder if I should just become a "heat trained natural" now that I understand the process better than before Ohhhh the choices.

Haha thanks don't worry I held my own for the most part. The initial anger is gone and I'm ready to put it behind me. Thank you for support ALWAYS.

********************

On a lighter note.. I always told myself it would be a good day when I can hold my hair and fully extend my arm. Today is that day I guess 15in is that sought out length! Yay for good days!

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm currently in braids until early May so I don't know how much my hair has grown as of yet but I've Ben taking care of my underneath very diligently so hopefully I reach grazing BSL by May.

I'll keep y'all posted.
 
I'm joining!! :)

Welcome to the challenge Straighthoodtea :grin:
 
So I went to Washington, DC yesterday for a friend's b-day & I had an awesome time. I've been there before as a child, but never as an adult. The trip was a little chaotic though. Me and my friends were supposed to catch the mega-bus @ 7:15am. We got to the pick-up location at 7:15 and 45sec. The bus was leaving as we were running up to the pick-up spot. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING in Philly ever runs on time. So the one day that we are 45secs "late", the bus is running on military time. So we were alittle pissed. But we ended up having a great time anyways. We did a lot of walking and the weather was perfect. I def have to go back. We couldn't see everything in just one day.

I wore my hair in a braid out. It was so funny. My twin sis came on the trip too and when I saw her, she had her hair in a braidout too. We try not to have the same styles b/c everywhere we go, people will stare or constantly ask if we are twins. And of course the whole time we were in DC, people kept asking and staring. She did her braidout using silk rollers. I really like her definition of her curls.
 
growbaby, you know I was pulling my hair in public to see if I could do the same thing with my hair. People were looking at me like I was crazy.

That's like my biggest fear; to get in a fight as an adult. People can be CRAZY and me and my peeps ALL have mouths. I glad nobody got hurt.

You are so beautiful Froreal3! I absolutely love your definition too---my braid outs/twist outs NEVER turn out like this. Is this on stretched hair? What's your secret? SPILL IT GIRL! Happy belated birthday too---hope it was a blast. :grin:

Thanks sis! I don't do anything special. My hair is always in twists. These happened to be in for a few days...so when I took them out, they were defined. I separated them and fluffed. I had been using various butters etc.
 
Froreal3 , Happy Birthday!!!! :grin:
growbaby, Yay for reaching that milestone!!!! And way to brush off that altercation like a champ :yep:

So I did my touch up and I trimmed 0.5in in the front and 1 inch in the back. I'm full APL, and so so happy with my hair right now :grin:

I ended up flat ironing my hair for my roommate's birthday celebration in San Francisco :grin: Definitely spur of the moment but I'm happy I did... I'm thinking I should flat iron more often because the health of my hair is more noticeable when straight... I learned that I have breakage at the front due to my 6 month stretch. So I'm going to find someone to texlax my hair asap. I also need a trim but one step at a time lol.

My hair is a lot longer than I thought. I didn't think this challenge would be realistic for me but I think if I make my goal a few inches AWAY from MBL I could do it... just need to up my moisturizing game.

I got Havana twists for the first time today. I'm looking forward to not doing my hair for 6-8 weeks. I felt the shampoo girl was rough with the detangling, and I told her so several times, so let's pray I don't have too much breakage. I keep telling myself, "you have a lot of hair, it doesn't matter if a few snap off"....but I know I'm wrong :/

I love them! I want Havanna Twists too! How long did it take? How are they holding up Ceemarie82 ?

She started washing my hair at 1145 and I was out of the shop by 4. They still look really nice and I'm receiving a lot of compliments, I love them!!

The Havana hair is stiff (she only dipped the ends), but it doesn't bother me other than I'm not used to the feel. I thought it would feel closer to my natural hair. I don't know if Marley hair is different in terms of texture, BUT I learned that Marley hair is longer (and it's cheaper). My natural hair is 15 inches in most parts, and 17 in others, so I only have about 2-4 inches of twist that is not my hair. I bought waaaay too many packs (8, and she used 3.5-4 since my hair is already thick), so I don't have much longer to use the other packs of hair, I'd probably have to get Havana twists again right after I take these out in May before I "grow out" of them. The stylist said both types of hair are reusable.

I'm going to start working out in them tomorrow, so I will keep you posted on how they hold up. Feel free to PM me other questions :)
 
I've been away from the board lately! Have to catch up! Happy Birthday to Froreal3! growbaby sorry about what you went through! pelohello I was in DC over the weekend too!

I've been enjoying wearing my hair straight and the compliments! Is that all you? Is that a weave? Your hair is as long as a weave? If I had hair like you, I wouldn't wear a weave! :-). I wore my hair flat ironed for 2 weeks and went back and got it done again. Something I haven't done for a while. After this I think I will go back to roller sets!

Pics from last flat iron. I really loved these curls this time around.
