Big Hair, Don't Care

...and I am no different...
feel free to use me as a resource....i am no expert but i did two years and basically i was winging it the whole time. i am happy to help you or anyone else, any way that i can.
Oh, I didn't mean I'm still transitioning. I meant I am fully natural and I am STILL figuring it out as I go along. They were right when they called this a journey and not a trip to the corner .
ETA: Isis is looking lovely by the way
@EnExitStageLeft I am loving your hair too! Those buns are juicy!
I stopped relaxing last year in October 2012. I never really did an official big chop. I desperately needed a trim. She was suppose to cut only an inch but she definitely cut more than that. I have a lot of SSKs so I hope that the trim I received helped. I got it straightened for the trim and for a change of pace.
My hair hasn't been this healthy since the first time I was natural. Even the stylist commented on how soft and thick my hair was. So, so, happy but I still want quite a bit more length. As you can probably see, the front of my hair is growing a lot faster than the back but I am certain the back will get there.
Haven't washed yet but have been exercising all week. I was expecting my hair to revert entirely from the ends to the roots, but only the roots have reverted & just a tiny bit. During my workouts, I tie a scarf around my head to keep it flat. It's been working.
Oh, and I've been using Shea butter to moisturize daily. I guess I'm going to ride this blowout until I can't anymore.
Can anyone tell me what is the longest amount of time or the norm one keeps a blowout before washing?
I think if i straighten my hair from now on it will only be through rollersets and the ocassional BKT

I've been thinking about this. I don't like flat ironing DD's hair, but she needs to wear a sleek bun for her team, so I've been setting her hair on big rollers and it has really been working. I thought to myself, "Why don't i do this for myself?" When I straighten in January it will be with a rollerset.
I remember when I was a little girl and I WISHED my hair covered my face! Happy Hair day!!!
New flat iron regimen:
Deep condition day before with a prepoo.
Wash next day with Tresemee deep cleansing shampoo to remove build up.
Light rinse out condition with V05 clarifying conditioner to detangle but leaves hair residue free.
Air dry in braid over night.
Blow dry next morning using tension method. New Andis hair dryer (yay! Comb didn't break!)
Apply Kerastace olio relax serum. Quarter size.
Flat iron on 395.
Voila. Hair! Light. Fluffy. Shiny. Happy!
Haviland how often are you doing this? Your hair looks great!
