I had my hair in a wet ponytail today. Then when I got home I changed it up because I wanted to take out the elastic band out of my hair, it was bothering me all day that I even used it, I kept thinking "Omg I hope I don't get any breakage from this." So I put my hair into a southern tease bun using my flex 8 barrette. It looks really cute I think and the bun looks huge.

You guys really are creative with your hair. I'm especially in awe of the wash and gos though. I wish mine could me so pretty.

Anyway, I went to Chicago on Saturday for an event and met BeautifulBrwnBabyDol from youtube. She was taking pictures of everyone's hair and here's mine.

^^^ That is a lovely pic!!

When my hair grows up, it wants to be yours. (both of you, either of you, it can't pick. It just knows it wants to be like that! :lol:)

My bantu knot out was a fail but luckily I had my banana clip handy. I do need to brush and gel down the sides more but I like it.

StephElise I agree it looks good plus it protects your ends!

pookaloo83 tools you will need: claw grips the medium size, a cute hair band (or alice band) and hair grips if needed. and edge tamer if you use one but i dont use one.

For second hairstyle with gold hair band, put your hair band around your neck before you start. Your hair should be detangled (and stretched if you like) and gather it up like you are about to put it in a pony tail then hold the base with one hand and twist your hair with the other twice and secure with with the claw grip. slide your hair band as far as you want it to go. and voila!

For the first style (with bow) I secured the brown bands first and roughly parted my hair at the pack in half horizontally. I then pulled in the half closest to my nape like I was about to put it in a pony tail and twisted it twice and used a claw grip then I did the same at the top and secured another claw grip (I was using the small ones at the time but if you use the medium ones I'm sure you will only need one for both, just secure the bottom with a hair grip before doing the top half as well then removed the hair grip when both parts are secure) you can make the bump at the top as big as you you like before you secure the top half. then I secured the bow and hey presto!

Hopefully I explained that properly but if you need more help then let me know and I'll be happy to help
 
best wash and go I've ever had! Used denman brush instead of a wide tooth comb and I really like the results, it's not all frizzy like it normally gets.

Ok, so I'm gonna finally wash my hair tonight after this 6 day wash and go!

That's the longest I've ever had a wash and go for! Love it! In fact, the only reason I'm even washing it is because my scalp is a bit itchy and has some build-up. If it wasn't for that I would sooo rock it for a few more days! Lol.

Pics! Most are from today but some are from previous days. (I took a ridiculous amount of pics of this wash and go coz I loved it so much:ohwell:)

Very pretty! Did you dye your own hair? And do you get alot of ssk's? Sheena284
 
OMG...you all have beautiful hair. I am trying to be very patient. I just stopped perming my hair in April and have decided to let it grow out. I really want to just cut it all off and start over. In the meantime, so that I don't even bother my hair, I am weaving it up. I make sure that I shampoo and deep condition (protein) weekly or sometime bi weekly depending on the type of weave I use. I am keeping my hair weaved so that I don't get tempted to perm my hair, it keeps my frustration level down. I have about 2 inches of new growth and am so anxious to see the "natural wave pattern". I feel like I'm cheating myself by keeping the permed part on. UGH..encouragement and advise needed please.

I attached three pics:
1. Long hair don't care-my weave for this week.
2. Short hair don't care-my natural hair when I cut it off years ago.
3. My hair when I was a child...is that potential for my adult hair?:yep:

pookaloo83 Thanks! :D

Yeah, I dyed it myself but ugh, so sick of the red now tbh. Which is why the front part of my hair is shorter than the rest. I chopped off about half the length of the red parts.

And yeah, I do get ssk's but not too much. But maybe that's because I trim/cut my hair a lot. (scissor happy)
 
Just took down my bun to moisturize my ends before putting on my bonnet and going to bed:

Congrats mlwprima2 on your transition to natural! Your hair is so pretty in all the pics- short natural, weaved up and old school :grin: If that last pic is any indication of your hair's potential, you'll do just fine :yep:

Just a word of caution though- consider switching to a more moisturizing conditioner while you're weaved up (as opposed to the protein one). Since you don't have full access to your hair, you don't want to run the risk of having a protein-overload issue - could be potentially disastrous and an unnecessary setback for you. Just something to think about.

Happy growing!
