Thanks DSD

Hey Keke, thanks sweetie

I'm gonna answer both of ur questions here luv...
1) ........... Tendrils...
a) I moisturized all over with my homemade concoction (Pantene Hydrating Curls, distilled water, Hot 6 Oil, glycerin, pure aloe vera gel)
b) I pulled a small section of hair down (think of sideburns)
c) The top (natural hair) curled/coiled up immediately around itself. The lower (relaxed hair) was stringy (as pictured), so I took my (pointer) finger & "wrapped" the relaxed hair around my finger, making "finger coils" (not pictured) so that the length tendril could look somewhat coiled like the natural section......That's it

!

2) ......... Waves....
Basically after applying my homemade moisturizer (see above), I'll smooth the sides down with a baby soft brush (or even a soft tooth brush). I don't smooth down the crown & back cuz it's too much trouble. My new growth is massive back there & I think that I'll do more damage than good. But once my HHB arrives, then I'll smooth the back then

Anywho, after smoothing, then I mix (in my hand) sum 1) pure aloe vera gel, or 2) Proclaim Activator Gel, or 3) Smooth n' Shine Gel with 1) water, or 2) Motions Shine Enhancing Pomade, or 3) Motions Moisture Rich Pomade, or 4) Hot 6 Oil, or 5) avacado, castor, olive, carrot oils. Yep, I like experimenting by mixing products

The lil concoctions works very well at holding my waves all day long

. Hope u understood that long list of stuff above

.

Peachtree, I know what you mean about getting to 6 months! I finally made 6 months last month and am approaching 7 months in just a few days. Doesn't time just fly?

Hello Peachtree

I saw a look at ur album and all I can say is.... WOW!! My eyes were bugging out! Your new growth looks wonderful! It's so moisturized and shiny and I love those waves!!

Congratulations on your milestone. It's wonderful isn't it?

And the Pantene is super!! I love that stuff! I used to shy away from their products, but I think they have done a great job with improving their line. Check out their gel for curly hair sometime. It doesn't contain any alcohol and it makes my hair soft while giving it great hold too.

Keep up the good work. I always look forward to reading your posts!!!!

Re: I\'M TOOOO EXCITED! I\'VE REACHED A MILESTONE!!!

No, I don't have any pics. I'm really not into the progress picture taking and posting online thing. Maybe I'll change my mind some day.

Gosh, Peachtree, your hair is gorgeous! I wish I could stick to the natural thing, but I am challenged as to what to do w/ it. Anyhow, your progress is so encouraging. One day I'll get the nerve to do what u did. My hair is refusing to relax anyway, so it might be sooner than later.

OMG, lol, I was wondering who bump'd this thread up,

Thanks girlfriend It seems like it was such a looooong time ago when I started this thread... Being natural suits me PERFECTLY.... In fact, I adjust so quickly to my coily/curly/wavy/shrunkened hair that it seems like I've been natural all of my life!

I can't wait to post when I reach my ultimate milestone... bs length natural hair (( I can't decide If i want that milestone "curly" or "straight" ))

congratulations Peachtree! Bonjour
