Please ladies can we stop telling everybody about wearing wigs and weaves ? Their perception of wig is different from ours.

How's your iron levels? I lost at least a third of my hair due to anaemia. Also a green tea scalp rinse, and odourless garlic capsules both swallowed AND applied directly to the scalp. We're gonna nip this in the bud for you!

Oh my!!...must check my iron...thank u so much!...on it and getting that tea :-)
 
are velcro rollers really that bad? It just seems like the best option to get all the varying lengths of hair to stay put on a roller. I'm gonna try a thing after I take out these braids.
 
My hair has grown a ton since last year this time...

I'm up for something new... and came across vids on crochet braids, twist....

Lawd where have I been... obviously in a hair rut...lol

Anyhoo, so many pretty styles and such but no explanation of how to care for, or how often to wash ..

I'm a washer, so I'm need to slow my roll and decide based on that fact...

It gotta withstand workouts, sauna, and hair washing twice a week at the very least...

So yesterday I wore a wig to my clinicals. I'm not sure if I just did a good job of modifying the wig to look like my own hair or what but I decided to wear my real hair in a puff today at clinical. Everyone kept asking why I didn't leave my hair straight since I supposedly look better with straight hair...smh

I love crochet braids. I think curly hair like bohemian curl or water wave (even marley hair to an extent) holds well- I would wear mine for four months at a time.

The style held up through regular gym sessions (I sweat from my head a lot) and washing. Very easy to maintain, but I prefer short crochet.

After the install I had nothing to do but keep the knots tight (initially) and cut out any matting ends. Matting is greatly reduced if it's short, if you keep your hands out of your hair, and tie your head at night with silk or satin.

I've found my hair heavily sheds whenever my iron, vitamin D and thyroid were out of wack. Obviously you know your body but you may want to consider getting a full blood work up.

I've been shedding heavier than normal and I think it is because I took a 1 month break from my vitamin D and hadn't been taking care of my scalp (steroid injections and topical cream, and growth oil).

thank u so much for chiming in...much appreciate it..:)
 
I like the Creme of Nature Argan Oil cowash and buttermilk. It makes my natural curls really pop. But Lord ham mercy, the fragrance is too strong.
 
Coconut oil? For real? After trying 492 different oils and conditioners, and various methods for eons all it took to receive fabulous results from a pre-poo was some coconut oil? I'm going to keep using it just to make sure it's not a fluke, especially since my hair hated it for so long. Coconut oil...unbelievable.

hahaha I've been sitting on olive oil my entire life LOL
 
I want to skip wash day because I'm lazy. But at the same time I want to do a perm rod set on my currently stretched hair for date night Thursday and I can't because I've been bunning with edge control all week and my hair is a bit sticky in spots and I don't have time for stiff, lifeless curls.

Just out of curiosity, is anyone still doing some variation of the Crown and Glory method? I tried to do a search for some threads, but it appears that they went to thread heaven.
 
I want to wash my hair tonight since I'm doing Marley twists tomorrow but this is the week for my hard protein treatment and I'm just not feeling sitting under the dryer tonight. I'll guess wait because I really don't want to rush it. Think I'll prepoo with some black tea.
 
Washed conditioned and deep conditioned.

Blew my hair dry, greased my scalp lightly and did two halo twists.

I'll moisturize when needed until my appointment Friday but I think I'll be good.
 
I bought this Marley hair to do my twists and now I don't feel like it. Like not even a little bit. And I don't want to get started then get too lazy to finish because tomorrow is date night so my hair has to be finished. So maybe I'll do a perm rod set and wait until next week to do my twists.
 
I had a pretty good wash day over the weekend. I think I've finally figured out how to finger detangle/to remove shed hairs. My ends are soooo coily and the she'd hairs get caught.

I also accepted that my bootlegged braiding technique was breaking my hair :( I switched to twists and saw less breakage while installing them. Plus, I have better excess to my hair in hopes of adding moisture to it.
