Crown and Glory 2023!

I have to buy new hair shears because I can’t find my old ones.

Tomorrow is the start of week three in this latest protective style.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Tomorrow is the start of week four. I usually take my hair down on a Saturday and redo it on a Sunday. This might stay in until week five because I'm planning on being in South Jersey next weekend. We shall see, as I dont like leaving my braids in long.

Coming up on 2 weeks in these minis and I'm planning to texlax after I take them down so I hope to keep them in 4-6 weeks. Time is flying so it'll be time to texlax before I know it. I'm almost 6 months post so it's time.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Tomorrow I head into week five. It will come down next Saturday. I have a week to figure out a new style.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Hair is coming down tonight!!!

Today marks 3 weeks in mini braids. Usually, I'd refresh them next week or so but I'm planning to ride them out for a few more weeks. Then I'll take them down for my texlax!

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

We moving.

I cut around 2 inches off all around. Probably could do another 3/4 of an inch but will keep my eye on it next quarter. I like my revair but my roots are never really pulled out. Went over it with my round brush this morning to pull it out at the roots.

Getting it braided and crocheted back up at 10.

Don't you put no mo' scissors to your head!!!

Lol, no really. Two inches is like 6 months of growth for me!! You stay in full PSs, your ends are very much protected from the elements and from manipulation. Your ends shouldn't be too bad considering all of that. I think you're right to keep caring for your hair and watching your ends.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Yes ma’am. I was trying to even it up a little. It probably could have dusted but all in all, I think im
In my growth spurts season. @MzSwift

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Back in crochet braids!! Here’s to a smooth four week protective style.

My twist are looking extra boneless at the ends. But it usually looks like that when its moisturized/wet. When i get to a length im comfortable with then i might chop chop. Right now they're holding everyone together lol

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Chop how much @ItsMeLilLucky ?

 

[MzSwift]

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Chop how much @ItsMeLilLucky ?

[Bette Davis Eyes]

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Lemme see a picture of it all hanging in the same direction @ItsMeLilLucky

@ItsMeLilLucky

My ends look like that when my hair is tied down to dry. In fact that's what my ends look like right now bc it's easier to take my twists down when they're straight like that.

BTW, I see you Length!!

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Exactly. Mine look the same way. I have low density. @MzSwift

 

[MzSwift]

BTW, I'm 3 weeks, 2 days in these mini twists but I've got a lot of looseness at the base of them so I'm not able to extend them anymore.
I'm exactly 6 months post as of yesterday so I'm just gonna go ahead and take them down for a 01-Apr texlax.
I don't like my hair loose for very long so I'm probably gonna go right back into some mini twists and rock those until my next texlax in Oct.
Texlaxing every 6 months helps keep things manageable for me.

I had to cover my face because it looks like I wanna somebody

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Looks like a dusting. Not two to four inches @ItsMeLilLucky

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Coming up on one week this Saturday. I need to back into moisturizing. I’ve just been spritzing the Yerba and going about my way


Need to reupp on my geritol , B12 and collagen today. I’ll put an order in when I leave the doctors appt.

Oh I need more MSM as well.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Doobie doobie doooo.

 

[MzSwift]

Ooo weee, look at that growth, @Bette Davis Eyes !!

It's gonna be sitting on your shoulders next year! KUTGW!!

I texlaxed last Wed, 2-Apr-25. Just finished installing my mini braids (no extensions) last night, 7-Apr-25. I made the parts a little bigger than I usually do but I'll keep them until my first refresh. I might end up splitting them. Now it's time to mix up my daily spray and new scalp oil.

Right now, the plan is to keep the mini braids until my texlax anniversary in Oct.
I've gone from SL in Dec 2022 to MBL (my bottom rib bone) here in Apr 2025. C&G is my homie!
