FROM BC TO WAIST LENGTH! Natural growth and health CHALLENGE.

That's great to hear MyAngelEyez~C~U!!! :bighug:

As for me, I haven't bought any hair care products in MONTHS and I haven't seen my hair or dealt with it in 3 weeks. Been hiding under this sew in since before the wedding and I'm getting it redone on Friday. Going with a red hue this time around in 16 or 18 inches. Feeling sassy.

Hey, ladies!

I went on a "shopping spree" at my local asian market, and picked up some olive/sunflower oil, castor oil, rose water, and coconut oil. Then I went to my local latino market and picked up some aloe vera juice, Linden tea and Hibiscus tea. Can't wait to mix up my own version of terressentials hair wash :) Ordered 200 grams of henna and got 200 grams free from the Henna Sooq BOGO sale this past weekend. Hope it comes soon, my blonde roots are showin, LOL.

On a personal note, things are looking like they may turn out alright. I just gave it to the Lord to handle anyway he sees fit. I know I'll be fine regardless. Thank you guys for all the prayers and well wishes! It helped tremendously.

Okay you need to tell me your secret b/c I can't make decent looking twists to save my soul. They always look wonky and just a HAM.

Back in another install and LOVING IT more than the first! I went with a mixture of 4 and 33 at 16" and I mean nobody can tell me anything :giggle:
 
Hhhheeeeyyyyy Ladies!!! Looking GAWGEOUS as EVER of course!!! It's October 2nd and I'm so eager to get on my hair grind and really go HARD in what I'm suppose to do until year end. I must admit, I haven't done bad at all lately. I've been detangling like I'm suppose to and getting out of my lazy puffs with more braided styles and twist outs. I too recently straightened my hair only with blow dryer and flat iron though, so it could have been much straighter if I had used the hot comb, but I was TERRIFIED of heat damage. I also took the time to trim some raggedy ends that I'm sure came from necessity and color this summer. Not bad though, only a .5" or less in some places.

So now I'm sporting a braided mohawk with the center in two strand twists. I've co-washed weekly and I've had these small braids in two weeks on yesterday. May stretch it to 3 weeks, then I'm going into cornrows and rockin' this bad WIG I got!!!

I've already worn it once and got RAVE compliments!!! I see this baby heavily in my fall regimen. I got it in fall leaf and it is KILLER!!!

Let's keep up the good work ladies!! I'll be 2 years relaxer free in January, so I'm hustling for at least 2 more inches from Sept to Dec!!! L'eggo!!!
 
I'm scared to ask, but I'm really worried. Anyone heard from OP since January? I mean this is really odd, I hate to think that something drastic happened to her. Did I miss something because I haven't been very consistent on posting in the last few months.
 
I feel like such a bad natural :cry2:

Idk how to do anything to my hair and I'm just hiding it away until it gets long enough to do all the cute styles I've seen. I need to be :spank:

Same here. I thought I was doing well, covering my hair (i.e., keeping my fingers out of it) , oiling, and the like, but this head does not want to grow past my shoulders. What's worse, I've got tons of split ends and knots! I've been trying to use only 100% natural products that I can make myself (not the faux-natural brand names with filler and "naturally-derived" preservatives), but maybe there's something in those chemicals that my hair needs for growth?
 
Still using my natural oils (sesame, grapeseed, hemp seed, macadamia nut), and Ayurvedic oils. Making a conscious effort to stay on top of my vitamin game; adding whole foods and more green foods to my diet. Concentrating on the health of my ends...did S&D for SSKs, removed all shed hair and mats during last night's flat-iron.

Consistently drinking about 2 Liters per day of water. Getting plenty of rest. Would like to make scalp massages a part of my weekly regimen (need to get motivated, because my arms get tired massaging my scalp). New vits in this week, can't wait! I feel they will make a huge difference in my hair, health, and energy.

Thanks, girl! I just realized we will still have a lil over two years so I really shouldn't be discouraged. And I can't really complain about my puffy twists or my tree braids because I get tons of compliments. I guess I'm just ready to rock my own hair at the length I want it to be. :yep: Thank you for the encouragement. :blowkiss:And no heat for you m'am until January!!:whip:

How often is everyone trimming/dusting/S&D? I haven't done so in quite some time.

I'm trying to cut down on my trimming SO said my hair isnt growing fast cause I keep cutting it. but I was trimming a little off every other month.

Maybe I'll hold out to every four months.

You better not! Scalp massages have been working for me, or at least thats what I tell myself.

I'm fighting the urge to straighten my hair...no heat no heat no heat!!! Must. Wait. Till. January.....

Fight that urge girl. Now that I finaly flat ironed my hair and didn't have any heat damage I've been getting the itch to (just to blow, but still...) I got your back if you have mine. :yep:
 
I wanna straighten my hair so freaking bad. But I'm in a twist challenge till the 31st of December. I wanna rollerset and do a light flat iron.
 
Hola chicas!

I'm just checkin in, since I've been M.I.A. for a while. Nothing new with my hair, though.

I'm in first trimester of pregnancy, and I'm too sick to get online often, so I'll be a ghost on the boards for a while. Also, my family's relocating from one coast to another, so I'll be busy.

This would all be great for my hair if I would keep it bunned, but I haven't. I've been doing wash n go's all the time lately, sleeping with no bonnet/scarf, and generally dogging my hair! So I end up with a lot of tangles, and I'm shedding like crazy. I'm going to try to bun more often and use this busy/sick time that I don't have to look cute, to gain some length.
 
SunnyHoney congrats on your pregnancy! Ask your OB to give you some phenergan or another nausea Rx to help with your morning sickness. Hang in there, only a few more weeks to second trimester, things will get better then!

Sprinkl3s You got a deal! Still fighting the urge, but I refuse to do it until I have some Sabino Moisture Block, LOL. Since I can't afford it at the moment, my hair is safe....for now, LOL.
