-In a twist-out until wash day (wednesday)
- Thinking of doing something different to my hair this week,maybe cornrows and a heart-shaped bun for valentines' day
-Also thinking about reducing wash-day from 1x per week to 1x fortnight.
Heart shaped bun sounds cute! I hope you post a pic

Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!
I felt like that at the start but I continued because I straighten my hair every time I wash it. Defo washing it tomorrow morning.
Hehe yay for the British
20 days??? Wow, I don't think I could last that long. My head gets sooo itchy now. After this wash-day I will try to stretch for 10 days and see how that feels
P.S.
MixedGirl - yay for us British girls!

I haven't straightened my hair in a week! Haha I did have the urge, but I fought it yay! I've had it in a braid out and ponytails, I think I put it in a bun once or twice. I really hate buns, but if they are necessary I'll just suck it up.
My ends are so crunchy, I think I need a good inch taken of, but I'll wait until my next relaxer. Im Bagging right now, trying to infuse some moisture!

The main benefit for me is that it means I am reducing heat. I flat iron everytime I wash my hair which was usually once every 4-5 days, after three weeks my hair still felt great and I had no scalp issues. I'm going to try this regimen for a few more months to see what happens. But so far so good.

Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!
The Nizoral with 2% Ketoconazole is working out really well for me after my beloved Keracare Dry & Itchy Scalp Conditioner stopped working for me. That was one of the major things missing from my hair routine, fixing or at least controlling the seborrheic dermatitis. My scalp doesn't itch like crazy anymore and the flakes aren't as problematic. My hair feels clarified after using it with much more bounce and manageability.

I wouldn't call it a benefit but when I would straighten my hair it just meant that the straightness lasted longer.
But now with my natural hair, i guess a benefit might be that it would mean less manipulation.... if all goes well.

Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!
Just washed, deep conditioned and styled my hair.
I had originally planned to do a heart shaped bun but it turned out to be a fail... a diabolical fail at that smh
Sorry bebezazueta no heart-shaped bun pics
But here's what I ended up with instead, four cornrows (jeez, I forgot how hard it is to do those on your own hair
they look a mess.. but I'm a student so no one's looking 
)
And a normal side bun....(pic in attachments)

No need to apologize! You have beautiful thick hair. Look how thick your corn rows are and that bun is big and fluffy especially since its half of your hair in there. Good job & thanks for the pic.

I know right! Lately I've been trying stretch my washes to 2 weeks & that's haaaaaard. Lol I finally realized oiling my scalp the beginning of the 2nd week gets me over that needed hump.

Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!
I actually joined SistaWithRealHair's hair challenge on youtube in December so I've been doing lengh checks on the 21st of each month.
(Thinking of skipping February though before I find myself becoming obsessed
)
Anyway, I thought I'd share my December and January length checks with you ladies.
I think I gained about 1.2 inches in the front (My bangs have always grown super duper fast)
0.75 on the sides and an inch in the back.
I dont have pics but I do have a video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbdJEAfg0YE
Please bare in mind that the measurements might not be 100% accurate. I'm only human
P.S.Sorry for the awkward colour t-shirts Next month I'll try to wear a plain white one

Let us know how it goes, I loved overnight DC but then I started doing it once a week and got moisture overload. I think I have fairly porous hair

Super Cheap Cheapie Conditioner!!
To MixedGirl and all the other UK ladies, I thought I'd let you know about the Tesco Smooth Conditioner range!
The conditioner is great for detangling, it works like Vo5/suave etc and is only 88p for the large bottle! Great value!
One bottle lasts me about 9 weekly washes.
They also come in a range of scents!
Jeeze, this sounds like a cheesy advert... oh well

Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!
Giving my hair some TLC for today's wash day (this has been going on for hours and still isn't over)
. I mixed up a pre-poo with half a bottle of DR Organics manuka honey protein conditioner, Roux PC, carrot oil, avocado oil and HOT 6 oil I'm in love, my hair was so soft it felt like butter, detangled with such ease and hardly any hair loss, I loved it so much I mixed up the other half
I'm DCing with protein, I will follow this with a moisture DC for an hour and then cover with oil to seal for another hour. I'll be air drying in my signature braided bun.
