I'm getting tired of these dern braid outs. 
Cause I'm itchin to do something to it. 
I'm new and extremely late but also extremely confused! Is it too late for me to join? I'm learning so much but it seems like every new thing confuses me even more. Also when I tell friends about the crazy stuff I am doing to my hair they look at me crazy..like the relaxer stretching did not go over well w my bff, she told me I was crazy and needed a hot comb
...and have decided to transition to natural....im excited!!! Welcome to all the new ladies!!!!!!
look. So i see it has been worth it and once this blowout gets washed out on Friday back to protective styling, mn mixture and co-washing twice a week I go.
Ladies I took a progress pic today after about 3 months (late feb to today) and I'm happy with the results. I have basically been doing protective styling (wigs/faux buns) for the last month and a half. People will ask me who did my hair & I will tell them it is a wig and they are like why are you wearing wigs when you have such nice hair. I try and explain I'm on a mission but they just give me a
Comparison pic in my siggie.
Happy hair growing ladies!
ETA: I will be doing protective styling for the majority of the summer. Unless it gets to be too much heat then I will figure something else out.
hahaha I sure as hell did. I walked out the restroom with it in my hand and my co-workers were like what the hell! It was hot... and I have no shame.
Okay so to answer your question I plan to wear clips, buns, and keep it well moisturized. With my job I'm limited to styles.
huh? see if i didnt have this board i would believe that tom foolery and would loose length for no reason.

BB, don't worry about what folks say!!! You know what you are doing and why you are doing it...and for the record....YOUR HAIR LOOKS GREAT!!!!
.
I plan on co-washing and bunning all summer as well!
:welcome3:Your hair is pretty in your avi!
ETA: Where can I buy flexi8 clips, yall?
:kewlpics: Girl, your hair looks great!! Keep up the good work 
ffrant:
I'm doing fine just bunning with the new elastics that I bought by Goody (they feel like pieces of stocking and don't get that weird little space in them that catches your hair when they've been stretched...) I'm just being very careful taking them in and out. Got some Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In today from Walmart and as heavy as that stuff is, I'm not worried about breakage now. My hair is nice and coated. 
Welcome Joy and Bri!!!
Yeah, like Joy said, Flexi8.com. Buuuut, I suggest ordering the large if you're looking to do a french twist or something. I got 5 like a dummy (found a coupon for buy 4, get one free (or 10% off); blue-32088). So I got 2 small and 3 medium b/c I listened to the stupid video on how to pick a size, and the dang-on medium barely fits! Forget about the small....
It's ok tho, because now I'm going to return them and jump on the Ovation bandwagon LOL!
for the coupon code. Ima try it...and this is my LAST purchase for the summer...FOR REAL!!!!(fingers crossed behind my back...)
Welcome Supagyrl!!!!!!!!!!! You are in the right place. Yes, u will have people who give u those, is she crazy? looks. But you know that with time and patience, you will reap good benefits. It takes trial and error to get a good regi, i haven't got mine set either, but trying things to see what works for you is key, just don't jump on every bandwagon because everything isn't for everybody. but welcome again!!!!!!
! Ladies I have a question. I am about 9 weeks post relaxer and I have realized I have 3 textures going on. I'm not sure of the numbers but the most difficult texture is really giving me a hard time w tangles..its basically my edges about 2 inches worth---grrrrrrr. Can anyone suggest some protective styles to do while I'm trying to tame this part. I've been reading stuff about using S-curl for new growth but I'm a little unclear about what it will do. I do alot of twist outs but have to pin them back bc my hair is uneven-working on that.

Hey Fiya!!!
This week I took a page out of your book. I DC & roller set and let air dry and sealed w/coconut oil. My hair feels really soft and bouncy
Welcome all new ladies !!!
Thanks Fiya..I set it over nite...12 hrs...it wasn't too bad since I only used 4 rollers. The set holds for quite a few days. Can't wait to see your pics

It's growing girl!!!12 hours isn't bad at all, especially for your length.
The pics below are of my rollerset. My curls are 5 days old on these.
These are my progress pics. I didn't post a length shot at the beginning of the month. They look the same to me, it does look like its getting thicker though.
