Aww thank you! I guess its not as bad as I thought.
 
My hair right now is pissing me off just so damn thick....due to me under processed tough up. I think I'll be getting micros this weekend so I won't deal with my hair for two months till the next relaxer.
 
hey girls

I have not been able toc atch up with my stylist the last few months.Her number is disconnected. I began going to the Dominican salon until I could catch up with her.

I had a horrible experience at the Dominican Salon on Staurday. I usually pre poo first and detangle before I go. This time I wore my hair in curly. The lady washed my hair 4 times :nono:. She washed it really rough and then she rinsed it with hot water. Afterwards she starts to detangle and is pulling through my hair. It sounded like a take. She had no clue what she was doing and she asked a few ladies to help. I finally ended up taking the comb from her and detangling my hair myself. I had two handfuls of hair in my hands. Then she goes to rinse out the conditioner and sprays water down my face. A few of the ladies saw how upset I was and offered me some towels and another lady did my hair. I was unhappy with the styling, but I decided to just go on home.

What made it so bad was that I was speaking up for myself but she didn't speak English.


Anybody have any suggestions for babying my hair for teh next month. I am scared more of it will fall out or break. :nono:
 
^^^Girl, I am so sorry that this happened to you.:bighug:. I am not really sure what you can do to baby your hair, but I think DCing might be beneficial. How exactly does your hair feel? Dry or anything like that?
I hope the buddies in here can help.

Girl, I know what you mean. I myself will be putting in a sew-in this Thursday for about 4 or 5 weeks just so I don't have to bother with it. I am only over 7 and a half wigs post but it feels like I'm at least 11 or 12 weeks and to think that I want to stretch for 7 months this time. Man I am gonna need a lot of luck.

I read in one of sistaslicks articles that, if you live in a place with hard water, you should use a clarifying/chelating shampoo more often. Let me know if you need the link. I think that DCing and cowashing may be helpful too. HTH

thanks for the advice. i put myself on a mini challenge to con-wash m-w-f and pre-poo, poo, and dc for the next 30 days. see how my hair respond to that. this water is so hard that calcium is building up in the sink. i can't have that in my hair.

Thanks. I think I will deep condition with each wash. My hair feels pretty soft. It felt weird on Saturday. The ends feel weird. Kind of crunchy. I think I will trim them.

I am so scared of breakage. :nono:
 
I just got my micros and I'm sooo happy. I haven't had braids in such a long time. I'm African so braids are just a part of my life and I've missed them! Pics in my fotki!
 
Hey guys how are you all doing?
I am just trying term this NG. I think I may have it under control. I bought s-curl to help but I have not used it that much.
I think DCing each time with protein based conditioner and them with moisturizing conditioner is what is really helping.
Anyway, just wanted to say hello to my girls:grin::grin:

Hey Congratulations on your new hair. I am relaxed and therefore have no clue about caring for natural hair :ohwell::perplexed. Hopefully all the beautiful natural heads will chime in.
Can't wait to see your pics.

Mandy

Hey Mandy and Botanygrl, thanks so much for the newsletter. As before it came out really great. Good job!
 
Hey Ladies I just wanted to say I enjoyed the newsletter and update yall on my progress/status.

I went ahead a cut my hair(3 inches at the most) about 4 weeks ago, its a short tappered cut, but hot shaved in the back. On previous posts I was struggling with damage and breakage, but I am very happy with the results ladies and look forward to a new start. HHG

How is everyone else doing?
 
Update: I finally relaxed my hair after a four month stretch. I had to clip some scraggly ends but I did end up with 2 inches of growth. I dusted twice during my stretch and in certain areas I'm dealing with split ends. I'm going to try to update my fotki this evening.

Girl, I am following in your foot steps and I am BCing this weekend. I just can not stand my unhealthy nape anymore. Last week I went to the BSS and the lady did my hair very very nice, but two days later it was back to looking crazy so I chopped some of it off. The cut turned out so bad so now I am just gonna cut everything off and start over. I am not sure if I will stay natural or texlaxed, but I for sure will not relax bone straight.
