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

I ALWAYS keep my hair stretched to avoid as much knots as possible. I plait it and unplait it in the morning and fluff. When I do wear it out.
 
I'm having some moisture issues right now and nothing is working. I just ordered some oyin's whipped pudding, darcy's herbal leave in and cd's healthy hair butter. I can't wait until it gets here because my hair is dying. I called myself wearing a shrunken fro for a couple of days and my hair got all matted. I'm so mad about it. My stuff better hurry up and get here!
 
I too had been looking for a moisturizng spritz/prodcut that I could use daily. Especially so was I in need due to the fact that I have to baggy with product overnight to have moist hair during the following day. Well sometimes, I just put on my satin cap and am not in a "baggying" mood. Since I usually baggy with S-curl, Qhemt Biol Amla & Olive heavy cream or QB Cocoa Tree detangling ghee and seal with coconut oil, I feel the need to shampoo more often due to the product load.

Well, I've found a staple that my girlfriend posted on her blog and it works 100%, not to mention it defines my curl pattern like nobody's business! Plus, I got use up products that were practically still new, but my hair didn't like them on their own.

Here is the simple recipe:

4-8 oz of rose water (I found this at Whole Foods for $7.99) 1/3 cup aloe vera gel
ir
, 1/3 cup vegetable glycerin (adjust aloe and glycerin as needed) and a few drops of
rosemary essential oil
ir
.

In the morning, I spray, finger comb and go! I hope it can help someone the way it helped me.

hey! did s-curl not measure up to your new concoction??? i was living off the testimonies of s-curl so i've ordered tons (cheaper online) and also the rose water

I just didn't expect the rosewater combo to beat the s-curl (i simply expected i would be less sticky, less residue )<---"date" purposes lol!

I just spent TOO long of a time in the bathroom trying to figure out how to style my Li'l-'fro... Finally decided to just moisturize and apply growth aid; threw two headbands on and now I'm heading out the door... :sad:

Anyone know where to buy cute and unique hair accessories?

me~:rolleyes:

I don't know if you have these stores near you, but try Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, Etsy.com They all have cute accessories. And try Claires!
 
I'm not an accesories kind of girl. I'm wearing my hair in defined curls (body shop curlboosters) with or without a headband this week! :)

I've been using a similar concoction. I bought a rosewater glycerin mix from Whole Foods and added aloe vera, some ayurvedic oils and a blob of HS 14 and 1 ( trying to find a way to use it up). I think I'll try adding an essential oil. I use this or Wen replenishing spray for my wet-buns. I haven't tried it for my curls.

My BC left me shorter in the front than I anticipated (I've always had bangs).
I went to the fabric store the other day and got an assortment of material each 1/4 of a yard. There was a sale but each one cost on average $1.

I now have a scarf/headband for every mood outfit!

Yes, this new concoction keeps moisture until the next day with "no drip", so your date would be fine. :lachen: Don't get me wrong, I've been using S-curl since I was relaxed, it works wonders. But on my dry, natural hair, I can't use it to keep my twa moisturized alone, I have to add a product and seal. I am loving the rose water, it's a keeper in my staples!
 
quick question, to go from BC to WL by 2013 how do i know if i am on track? like if i have 2 inches of hair in 6 months i should be where? how long should it take me to reach neck, chin, shoulder etc. in order to meet my goal.

I don't know if I'm answering your question but I believe our hair grows a 1/2 inch a month. So calculate that way.

Thanks for THE CONTRIBUTION!!!

I love this idea! I need a pink headband, I been wearing alot of pink this summer.
 
Anybody else here hate shampoo? My natural hair takes days to RECOVER after my shampoo, ugh, I am only shampooing once a month basically to remove buildup. I hate shampoo day!!! I am a co-washer for LIFE!
 
now that i am in the right thread :lol: here is my update, anyway tonight is pre-poo night an tomorrow i will wash and dc. I haven;t shampooed for a few weeks so I will hit the shampoo. I also discovered recently that my hair takes weeks to recover from shampoo so I have started shampooing 1-2x a month max.

YES! I feel your shampoo pain. I can not afford to have dry hair for days after shampoo. I am going to seriously look into these no-poos.
I"m ready to take my crochet braids out. Once I take them out, I'm gonna put another set right back in.
I was thinking about braids until I get enough hair to put in a ponytail/mini puff but for now when I don't feel like making my curls shine and pop I wear my cute new short wig.

Can you use clippers with a large guard that's what I did, I think I used the two inch guard?
 
I got frustrated today and decided my problem has to be a need to clarify, so I did with baking soda, then shampooed again and then followed up with roux porosity control, then used infusium, then condish, CURLS were back to life again. I am really learning my natural hair now and it hates this hard water we have in my area!
