Newbie Challenge 08 P2

Ladies! These will serve as my Jan. 1 update pics .
I got my hair done Christmas Eve and had a '40s type hairdo. It was cute, but then it was hard for me to do a length check.


Here's me at a relative's Christmas Eve party (yes, I actually went into their bathroom and took pics of myself ):

When I got home, I wrapped my hair so it could "flatten" and I could do a length check. As you can see, my left side still held some of the curl and was a bit bent:

I think I will be able to claim APL again by next month

Congrats Galadriel!!!!! Your hair is so shiny and thick. You look APL to me already!

FM! I finally got around to trying the Mixed Chicks deep condish, and I LOVE it! Thanks for putting me on to it.

Girl, tell me about it!!! I buy 2-3 jars of it at a time bc it's the only thing that gives me enuf slip to detangle this 9 month post hair....it gives so much slip, you are liable to slip in the shower...not kidding...

I did some coloring and I love it!!!! In the past all I have used was rinses, but I was getting pretty fed up with them. The color didn't last long and was barely visible, but with my hair being healthy and growing I was scared to try the perm dyes out there that could lead to my hair breaking and a set back.

I have been doing a lot research trying the best way to get a color I wanted. the problem was I didn't know what exact shade I wanted. I heard about clairol luminize from Marbel and she had been using it for a while. I asked a lot of questions and she was very helpful although she had never used the color I had planned to use.

The first time I used luminize in red I was disappointed. It was that same thing with the rinse. You could only see it in bright light. I put Dark and Lovely Ravishing Red over it. Marbel had told me it took her several times in using it to get the color she liked, but I just had expected more. The first pic is from the first time I used it. I did the streaks by putting the clairol on chunks of the hair. I did this in what I call hidden spots so that if the hair fell out I could easily hide it. I bought about 5 bottles of the red from a BBS. It has been discontinued and it will be hard to find so I don't want to fall in love with it.

The second time which is the two bottom pictures I did Adore rinse in paprika. On a previous strand test it had showed a lot of color on just my natural hair. Well after it dried it was looking nice, but not as bright as I had hoped and DH was teasing and saying it just looks plain brown.
So then I went back and did a small section with clairol luminize in clear and this is the result I got.

Oh and you know you only suppose to leave it on for 10 minutes, but I left on for about 40. I really didn't want a solid head of color. So I just did a small section in the front to see how it would look. Clear difference between my darker hair and the Clairoled hair. Next time I'll do more of the front. I don't really care if the back is colored and it creates a sort of two tone effect which I like. What do you ladies think? See Taurus Angel my plate works. Oh yeah product rave. I used this sample of Sexy Hair Color Me Sexy Moisturizing treatment. LOOOOOOOOOOVED it. My hair was so soft and buttery.

I'm lookin a little tore up now, I'm 11wks post and girlllll, let me tell ya......I'm relaxing on Tuesday and will post my end of year update pic, hopefully I've had some growth, I've been wet bunning, co washing and DCing 2 times a week for the last 4 weeks so that should have helped a little with retention.

Congrats on your 17 week stretch . Do you wear a lot of protective styles or baggy your ends? (btw, I hate trimming )

I started bunning about half way through. I should have started sooner. I wasn't really consistent with baggying until about the last month. The next stretch I will do both on a consistent basis.

Thank you!!! I have about 1 inch of relaxed hair left. I should be done with my transition soon .

Gorgeous Galadriel! 1 inch left!?!?! I'm soo jealous!

Good Evening Ladies ...I know I am late but here is the pic for January. I am still rollersetting. SIZE]

Hello ladies

Just letting everyone know I cut about 3 inches off my hair yesterday. My hair was looking so weird and I was trying to hold out and not trim. (I hate cutting anything off my hair) but I decided against it.

I am very happy with the trim I was getting a little carried away but I caught myself. My hair looks so much better and fuller I was shocked. This is the best thing Ive done to my hair in a while.

I am 10 weeks post and im really thinking if I should relaxer again or just transition.. We will see

I know it's hard to trim/cut, but sometimes you just have to do it . I'm glad that you're pleased with it and that your hair is thickening up. Before you know it, you'll regain those 3 inches quickly.

Girl your hair is beautiful. I think I might be happy if I reach that length. How are my fellow sisters doing? Here are my updated pics for Feb. I found a new product I can't live without. Aphogee Green Tea Restructurizer. Everyone was raving about, but I didn't expect much, but I was pleasantly surprized. I relaxed, flat ironed, and colored. I'm going for WL by Summer. Someone said it was possible...

Hey everyone I think our thread might be dying a bit. I didn't post for a long time and thought I was really out of the loop but my last post was on the page before this one! Well, it has to die sometime I guess. Ya'll are still my newbie sistas tho.

I posted in your thread Klo. I said it then and I'll say it now. Beautiful! And as somebody remarked then, you really do look WL. I see the scarf and all, but seriously, you look WL! You're like an inch away it looks like.

I will post an update soon. I plan on doing a rollerset for Valentine's Day weekend. My hubby's B-Day is Sunday and we always make a 2-day celebration out of that so hopefully my hair will turn out nice. I'm taking him out to dinner! We never get to go anywhere since we don't have a babysitter, so it will be very nice to get out for a change. In the meantime, I updated my siggy pic today and put like 6 more pics in my Fotki. I am thinking of cutting some more though... More pics to come soon I pwomise!

Edit: Leona your hair looks Fab! Gl with WL.
