I think this is so much healthier for your hair than relaxing bone straight and definitely more healthy than pulling relaxer root to ends! Just think of it this way, if you keep doing it, in a coupla years, you'll be able to roick a lovely WnG!!!

,. I:heart2:it!!! Summer hair PERRRRFECTION :werd:.
Girl I'm still just as obessed. It's been kinda hectic. I'm getting married on Friday and I'm trying to catch up on back homework at school. Then I have to spend time with family. I'm stressed times 5, but I make time for my hair, lol. OOOOOOh I had a bad experience with roller setting. I got it into my head that if I used the tiny rollers I could create a strawset effect. Well my head is big and that is to much rolling so I settled for the ponytail set. It was not cute. Tell me why these curls are holding up so well? They haven't really fell at all and the cute sets won't stay to save my life. I almost bought a roll around dryer Saturday. Gold and Hot and Conair makes them and I was tempted, but I've never been one to sit under a dryer even in a salon so I don't know if it will be a complete waste.wher my peeps at? I can't find ya'll...

girl, you got enuf goin' on...whew
FM!!!!!!!!! Hi!!!! lol, how have u been? I've missed u and the other ladies too. I haven't been on much. I've started a job and i'm doing summer school so i've been busy. I had lost my camera for a minute which is why i haven't posted any pictures. I'll be updating at the end of this month though. Just wanted u to know we're still here!!!!!!!
Hey FM
It's been a crazy few weeks (vacation,graduation,aggravation). I need another 2 weeks before all calms down and I will post regularly.
BTW your braid out is BANGIN'
I rollerset/flat ironed w/SMB...it is soooo working....and I discovered the right side of my hair is 2" longer than the left side @#$%@&!!!!! So I have to track my sister down for a cut to even it out.
I'll post pics as soon as I can.
If I had an extra 2 inches, I'd be posting pics somewhere right about now...
. My cousin did my cornrows 2 1/2 weeks ago, and I'm going to get them redone next week. I'll post a pic for my July update. I plan on keeping my hair in cornrows until the first week of August (Aug. 7 is my wedding anniversary so I'm going to get a wash n' press then). I've just been moisturizing with Africa's Best braid spray, my own concoction of water, condish, glycerin, and oil, and I've been using BT every other day. By August I will FOR SURE be APL or I will go CRAAAAAZYYYYYYY!!!!!!
.
Hey FM!
I'm still here too, I've been busy as well. I'm just ready to kick back and relax for the summer
Oh, btw, I bought SMB!!! Can't wait to try it
) fo sho- Hey girl, on that SMB, just remember you don't need but like a nickel sized dallop for your whole head and put it on towel dried hair, no need to reapply after that...a little goes a long way...I can't wait for you to try it. 
, was we supposed to go somewhere?" I think I needed to leave it on for longer. I did about 1 hour 20min under a heat cap....I'll let ya'll know how my hiar turned out, condition-wise...
Cool! You will be APL (might even be already!
I just did my first henna and doing a DC right now....It was Ok, (not as messy as I thought it would be), but I used henna and indigo and I thought it would cover my gray hairs, but all I see is dark brown hair on the ends and my grays are looking at me like, "what
Yeah, it sounds like you need to leave it in longer I am about to place an order for some henna as we speak. I used to henna my hair in the past, but it was with that ish you get from Sally's and I don't think it is body art quality I liked it back in the day, so I'm sure it will go well this time also. DH was cracking jokes about the smell and how he was going to bring me home some dirt for my hair and pass it off as henna
Rofl
W/E! I can't wait to try the "real" stuff. He's supportive even though he likes to clown a lot tho
erplexed I have such issues......men...your DH sounds like mine...he is supportive in the end, tho- he be hatin' but he likes my hair in the end...
I might also try OJ instead of ACV next time...Catherine had that in the dteailed instructions that came with the product...so many options...
I bought mine from Catherine's. They were real cool and professional. I think I bought enuf for 4 applications...
I liked it tho-. My hair feels great today and my hair no longer smells like "pot ash" (whatever that is...) as DH said last night....
I did 1/2 henna, 1/2 indigo, with a lil' amla and some ginger root for smell. I used a little ACV and it wasn't overly drying...It did take some "pre-work" and coordination beforehand, but I was surprised how it wasn't really that messy. My colorshowers were worse, I guess bc the henna is thick and the colorshowers is a liquid...
I definitely think it's a do-over. My grays are less pronounced, but I can still see some of them. I think I will try and keep it on for 2 hours this time and refresh the heat on my heat cap for the second hour...
1st henna then indigo separately.....the longer you leave in the henna the more color you get(henna will make your gray hair a copper color)....I've also read that if you mix salt w/indigo you get more color...I put salt in my indigo and my hair is black when I finish..I hope this helps
If you want your hair dark brown :locks: then mix 1/2 henna and 1/2 indigo....if you want your hair black
..i just want to cover my grays to my natural color....but when i actually look at my grays, they are like an auburn color...not a red orange color, but a nice brownish auburn color. the rest of my hair came out dark brown, so i guess that's why i cud still see them...in retrospect, i actually like it.... i guess i was expecting dark brown grays, but now that i have adjusted my expectations, i am happy with the color it's definitely a do over...i think i might try to leave it on for an additional 30 min, but i also did a dc after 'cause my hair was kinda stiffer than usual, so i don't want to be spending 8 hours on my hair
Congrats Leona!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!! I am glad you found your camera...I have been branching out and doing more posts outside of our thread, been meeting new ladies and all, but it's not like my inner circle! LOL!
I was shooting for dark brown.
is the stiffness usual or did i do something wrong?
...but it weird bc it's actually moree shiny than usual, NG and all, which is usually more dull in relation to the relaxed partserplexed...i did co-wash a coupla times and did a moisturizing DC...i't not bad, just not feeling exactly the same...
