Ok i love my temp job people...salt of the earth. . .but the air has been out for 2 days now. So I was joking with the owner's wife (who is also beautifully 11 years natural) that this is actually GOOD for our hair...like a steam treatment for two days straight!!! LOL Plus I have a "praise"!!! I have FINALLY found the key to happy hair for me -- One N Only Argan Oil Repairing Conditioner for cowashing, Giovanni Direct leave in, and VASELINE to seal!!! yayyy:yay::yay::yay::woot::woot::clapping::clapping::creatures:creaturesI am soooo happy I could literally cry. So i had the best hair day in a LONG time (probably the whole 4 mos) today. Without further adieu, here's mah pic!!!

These are box braids I did myself..It will be 3 weeks thursday that i've had them in. They look better the older they get..I love this protective style. I plan to install them again..the bad thing is it took me 3 days to complete them! I thought I would never get done...

eta: that random long braid looks weird in this pic lol..it looks right & you cant even notice it when my hair is pulled back tho..

Finally flat-ironed my hair, I'd been putting it off for two months. Pulled it into a banded ponytail and will sleep with a roller on the end. Tomorrow I'll wear it down in large waves created by the bands.

Beautiful hair -- reggie please!!

Thank you!


I cowash every day (start off with V05 Passion Fruit Smoothie as a sort of rinse and detangle with it in my hair, rinse, follow up with Suave Coconut or Garnier Fructis Pure Clean, sometimes I will use Giovanni 50/50 as my second contioner. You get the idea lol whatever my hair likes that I have on me)


I don't use cones. Finally decided to accept that my hair just doesn't like them lol I'm pretty stubborn :drunk:


Shampoo as needed (sulfate free, mostly Giovanni). I prefer to use bentonite clay though. I usually add some aloe vera gel and an oil to it as I mix it up.


Deep condition once or twice a week. I really like Ion's deep conditioners, the protein one and the moisturizing one. Mostly though, I just use a regular conditioner and leave it on for a few hours. I need to go out and get some more Ion though :)


Still haven't found a moisturizer that hits all the right notes for me. Anything with shea in it seems to build up in my hair badly :/


So that's it lol Kinda sounds like a lot when I type it out. But it's quick and simple to me :3

Your hair looks similar to mine, especially in the 2nd pic. Maybe, one day I'll get around to taking & posting pics of my hair.lol

Gorgeous did you blowdry before you flat iron? I'm living for the day that my hair can come out as silky as yours.

Fhrizzball, yes I did. I used a denman, Keracare Creme Press and a regular old Conair blowdryer. I air-dried a bit in sections first. I did that yesterday, and then flat-ironed today. I'm crossing my fingers that there's no texture change when I wash this out. The Keracare is supposed to be a heat protectant though.

I'm 7 months into my transition. My staple style is Curlformers. I use a mix of long/wide and extra wide/long.

Here is my hair today (front, side, and back views).
