BillsBackerz67 Can you @ me when you review your deva cut? I have been doing some serious research on going to the one in NYC but it would be great to hear a fresh review from one of our own here at LHCF. Im scared to do it but I think I'm going to try it in march once NYC warms up a tad.

sure will! and if you decide to go for it,
book the appointment with April. ii believe she is at the broadway location. if you have an IG she cut LOVErasheeda hair and a few others. imo she does an excellent job. i made an appointment with her back in august but i wasnt able to make it.
 
Cut vs. length? I can't decide, but I don't like the look of my WNGs any more. Very frustrating...

You have beautiful hair. I think you should give your hair a few months to grow out of this awkward phase before cutting.

Your hair is so beautiful I don't see what you don't like. I think our hair is the same length so I can understand the frustration of the in between stages. I want a cut but just for shape. Not willing to sacrifice length.

I love, love, love your hair. If this pic is of a WNG...all I can say is beautiful!

Thank you. It is a stretched WNG. Only problem is all these patterns and textures are not meshing well.

Nightingale and pattyr5, I just really hate the shape, but I am scared to death to let anyone near my hair. There is no one I would trust in WI, so I would have to go to Chicago, or wait until I travel to Atlanta or New York to get it cut. I am going to try to hold out, but this shape sucks right now.

I think your hair looks great but I know the frustration! You know your hair best and when it's not acting right a trim/shape up is pretty much the key to getting it to act right. I'm more about shape than length, but usually length takes precedent to most people and that's understandable too. That's exactly why I'm cutting until I get what I want :lol: im taking a huge leap with not only a white stylist but getting a deva cut at that smh. but my gut says I'll be fine lol.

Make sure to post your results. I'm sure it will be gorgeous!
 
Starting to think that it is the UFD Curly magic that is making my hair a little dry and stiff. I'm going to go back to the HC gel and see if this improves the condition of my hair and allows for more stretch.

Going for a deva cut on Friday. I STAY cutting my hair but it's still not the shape I want :lol: this will be my first time getting my hair cut dry curl by curl. The lady I researched has nothing but excellent reviews, and I'm confident she'll do a great job. Her name is Angela Hicks and she's at the Michael Flores Salon located in Dallas. I'm getting box braids for vacation the 28th so either way I won't be screwed if I don't like the outcome.

@ me when you get the cut too please. I was going to get it but to get it cut at a salon named salon capri, a few miles away from me, with the famous robin is almost 200 bucks including the deposit :nono: I chickened out. I think I'll grow my hair just 2 more inches before I try that.
 
Y'all I think I have found my HG gel! Aussies Aussome volume gel. It's not sticky,not crunchy and gives me mega definition without looking like I have 2 strands. Also it is DIRT CHEAP at 3 dollars and some change at walmart.:yay: Here are some pics

your hair looks amazing!! is it a watery/thin gel?

Why, what went wrong?

Joigirl I'm not really sure. I feel like there's no way I can refresh my WNG. I spritz it at night and add moisturizer. In the morning I steam it in the shower and spray with the SM coconut/hibiscus spray or Queen Helene refresher spray. My curls just don't seem to bounce back. At best, I get two day hair.

My hair looked better when I was co-washing and styling 3x a week. I may have to go back to that.

What are you doing to stretch your curls?

I don't refresh either. Adding water or sprays just makes may hair drier. It just doesn't soak in. I make sure my hair is as moisturized as possible when I wash. I try to wash only once a week, but if my hair needs moisture, I will Cowash mid-week. What are you using to seal? I like to use a buttercreme between my leave in and gel to add moisture and also seal.
 
I'm seeing concerns about refreshing. I'm gonna share my refresh regimen because this really works for me.

I separate the hair in about 6 sections, spray with cold water until very damp, finger comb or separate the curls and position them into place. I saturate the crown to.reduce frizz, and use a cream to smooth it down. This is a pic of a 3 day wng that I refresh this morning.

You see? No frizz at all.

I just found a jar of Xtreme Wetline Gel in 77 ounces on Amazon!!!!, Wowzers!

I'm feeling the need to break my Wng back out, so I'm stocking up for the next months

I noticed that this gel flakes on the second day. Its ok if you wash n go/wet daily but not if you wear a wash n go for a few days at a time whiteoleander91

Im so bummed. It worked so well:sad: Back to the drawing board...

I use a combo of jojoba oil, argan oil and JBCO to seal. Why? Because they were what I had on hand when I went natural. :lol: I figured I'd try those, and then try something else if those didn't work. I'll check out buttercremes.
 
Loving my coils today. They are so coily. I cowashed with Aussie moist then put on olive oil and shea moisture superfruit leave in then goddess curls.
