My HG WnG hair combo right now is cowashing with Trader Joe nourish spa, leaving a nice amount in and then shingling with the Ampro Argan Oil gel (finally found it in a BSS in the city!!!! So geeked). My hair turns out perfect every time.

As my hair is growing Im thinking about getting a diffuser attachment to help dry it a bit faster in the morning, but I dunno if I wanna do that direct heat erry day. I'll see.

and I'm back. Xtreme Wetline topped with Sweet Soul Magic Curl Stimulator gel. Im having trouble uploading pictures though.

Day 2 hair- I wanted to mist with a little water this morning but I forgot. On day 1 I conditioned with a mix of KCKT and Faith in Nature Hemp and Meadowfoam. Did a clay rinse/mask, followed with an oil rinse (grapeseed/ wheatgerm/ sunflower. Then applied diluted KCCC.

 

[Coilystep]

Did some finger coils with creme of nature twirling custard and mousse. Very happy with results.

Very rarely have I seen a person with 100% uniform curl pattern throughout their entire head. Def Is not the case with me. Don't cut In hopes of a more uniform texture cuz it will grow back the exact same way lol.

It's funny because just about everyone's hair in here looks uniform to me. Maybe it's the shape of their cuts that give the hsir a balanced look. Once my hair is in its second day the differences start to get lost in the volume and my hair mostly loses the definition anyway.

Let it air dry as much as u can an then diffuse. I diffuse literally every time I washed in the winter on warm or cool setting. No damage at all.

 

[BillsBackerz67]

Lol that's because we are only seeing the out regions of my hair. One wng I posted in IG everybody commented how uniform my pattern was but they've never seen the underbrush regions lol. I have about 6 different textures going on. Since I keep my hair shaped and trimmed its not as noticeable.

 

[Coilystep]

I've gotten pretty good at blending my different textures.

Say whaaaat! That's quite a compliment!

I just told this lady my hair wasn't a twist out and she said "oh you have that kind of hair" :/ since when is 4ab hair uncommon among blacks? I would kind of see it if my hair was silky but it's not. See this is why I don't like discussing my hair. Folks act like you have 2a hair and can't help them when we have the same hair type only difference is I take care of mine properly and it's healthy. But they aren't trying to hear that, too busy being negative.

Oh and I never use this word but my hair is on fleek today lmao

I refuse to engage people like that. If you moisturized type 4 hair it looks totally different than unmoisturized type 4 hair. Also hair that is regularly flat ironed on high heat (heat damaged) looks different than moisturized type 4 hair.

^^^ I agree. My friends and sister and cousins swear I have some kind of 'good hair'. It's so annoying. I have told them time and time again I watched my hair go from a frizzy fuzz ball to moisturized curls when I learned how to take care of my type 4 curls. I've since given up. If your happy with dry damaged hair that won't grow past your ears, then I'm happy for you

 

[Karmi]

I got 3rd day hair easy with the wet line gel applied on dry hair. Doing the same thing today to see how long I can go this week.

 

[Guinan]

I'm gonna try to upload pics of my wng from yesterday from my phone. I am having the hardest time trying to fix my avatar pic and upload pics.

Right. My hair never looked like this before. I used heat so my hair was like a picked out afro, no coils.

On another note, I'm doing my hair again today

 

[Guinan]

Nope it's not working for me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I'll try again tomorrow

There is nothing wrong with saying your hair is on fleek. Now where is the pic!

You are so right! I had no idea my hair was even curly. That's because my hair was thirsty as heck. I washed infrequently, never moisturized or deep conditioned and only used grease or oil. I've even had my hair natural in a very short hair style in the past but never even thought about growing it out. I assumed it was unmanageable because that was what I was told.

I thought that in order to claim to have "real"curly hair, it had to stay curly even if you combed it or brushed it. Now I now better. We have to educate our youth. I think it may be too late for some of those over the age if 30 who only think straight hair is attractive.

Although straight hair is nice, I think that as black women our beauty blossoms with big kinky curly hair. There is pride in showcasing our authentic selves, big mane and all. The more we flaunt it, the more people's attitudes and assumptions will change.

I tried to bluetooth it to my phone from my tablet but it's not working for whatever reason

 

[Guinan]

Ok, so I can copy and paste a picture but I cant upload any pics. This is soooo frustrating. This is the pic I wanted as my avatar. But anyways, this is my hair from yesterday. I used botanical gel as my styler. I have several more pics, but they are all on my phone and the site is not letting me upload them.

ETA: Uggggggggg, and you still cannot see the picture. I could see the pic when I pasted it but now I cant see the pic!

I GIVE UP!!

 

[OhTall1]

I almost don't want to say anything and jinx it, but I think that Curls Creme Brulee may be replacing SM Curl Enhancing Smoothie in the lineup.

Question for you ladies: Any frequent exercisers? And if so, are you washing/co-washing every time you work out? I never worried about this or even considered it when I was relaxed because you know, washing black hair too often makes it fall out ( ). I work out 3-4 times a week and wash 3x, but I'm trying to figure out if others are washing less.

Pics don't upload directly for me either. I have to save them through some kind of pic app or the studio in my phone before I can upload on here.

I exercise several times a week. I cowash daily.

I workout alot, but I dont wash my hair b/c of a workout, I more or less wash on a schedule. I do however, wet my hair before I go to the gym. Not b/c of moisture etc...but b/c I am refreshing my curls.

I workout 3-5x's a week and wash my hair 1-2x's a week

Day 4 hair!! I baggied last night with Oyin Juices & Berries. Hair was still dry this morning but a few more sprays and it came to life in the shower. Olive oil hair lotion and argan to seal. Fluffed with hands, I think I can keep this up a few more days.
