My braider was busy this weekend so I had to wear my hair straight longer than I planned but I just scheduled an appointment for Friday and I'll be done in time to watch the NBA Finals! Yassssss! I miss my braids....

I have little clumped coils on my edges!! And fuzz in my (now formerly) thin to almost bald spot!! They're coming back!! 
I was so scared that my locs had permanently damaged my hairline but in the 11 months since I combed them out they have come back so nicely. I'm so happy & fighting HIH syndrome right now!!

I have 131 braids on my head. I like the size, not too small, not too big, nice and full. I am going to rebraid a few every couple days. I am going to purchase human hair to rebraid with eventually, so I am going to practice braiding on my own until I get them because I don't really wanna go to a braider if I don't need to.
That has never happened so it's time for me to start researching more conditioners. I really want to try Pureology but they are marketed toward color treated hair.

I was ill over the weekend. Prior to that I had lots of gel in my hair. No moisturising or wearing a scarf at bedtime for 3 days. (Not gone without a scarf since childhood, even when I was in labour, lol) MY POOR HAIR! It is such a dry mess, thankfully not terribly tangled, but I did a semi finger detangle and washed my hair and deep conditioned, moisturised and sealed. STILL feels dry. I'm gonna have to properly wash, detangle and deep condition this weekend and keep my hair moisturised and protected in a bun or something until then

I want to start to wear mini braids in my hair. I just dont want to sit down and have someone braid it for me or braid it myself.
Best protective style ever. I can go 3 or 4 months with them in and condition as normal

I've been missing my locs more and more lately. I cut my last set ~3 years ago. I'm done playing in my loose hair. I think that it's time for me to start another loc journey.
I put my hair into extremely neat braids on Sunday. I think that I may just leave them in.

Did a quick cowash this morning and added a little APB hair cream and oil mix and used a head band for a way too long sloppy puff (its been over for those) but I cannot believe how defined my mainly 4A coils are from such little product and no styler.
I so wish a could do these effortless wash n goes but the 3A slight shrinkage in the front of my head and 4B crazy shrinkage in the back leave me looking absolutely ridiculous
. Maybe when I get my back to grow it'll appear better but its taking a longer/tougher time since its so much more kinky and dry.
ETA: 3A was a little exaggerative so I took a few quick unfocused pics to show what I mean. 1st pic top, 2nd main, 3rd back.

I went to another TJMaxx today and purchased all the Joico they hadI'll always keep Joico in stock but I still need to find another conditioner. I'm not telling y'all when I find a new conditioner I love; I'm experiencing too many shortages
Maybe they've started taking them out of the stores already. Wasn't there a thread talking about how someone reported TJMaxx for carrying that brand? I don't understand why anyone would do that...

All of these pics look like Type 4 hair. Or are the pics shrunken that makes it look smaller

Girl I cant call it, maybe, I cropped to similar sizes. All I know is the front doesn't even curl/spiral its a loose wave hardly any shrinkage always has been. Cant stand it
ETA: I see what you mean. I zoomed into the tighter curls more than looser making it seem as though they are similar sizes. FAR from it.

My next crochet install will be with loose hair. I'm over these twists already. Will probably untwist my hair next week so I can wear it loose for a few days then I'm going to remove this hair and use it for a crochet wig. On the other hand, my hair is growing pretty fast. Almost half an inch of new growth so far. It's going to be a struggle to hide my hair for an entire year. I miss my curls.

I drove into work this morning with the heat on blast so my hair could dry faster. Not fun in June lol but it worked.

Last week's wash day really just confirmed that twists are not for my hair. I just have way too much unevenness around my head. My hair has been frizzy and dry all week, though that DC didn't help matters.
Curlformers and then bun/some other style seems to be the plan. Now if only I could afford another pack of barrel curlformers; they get my hair smooth and stretched faster and more gently than the regular ones.

First time using my seamless wide tooth comb to detangle in god knows how long but it was amazing. There was so much shed hair and knots at the roots that no amount of finger detangling was getting.
My hair went from puffy roots, curly uneven ends to sleek, pretty evenly curly ends and appeared much longer. I am a happy camper. Have to remember to incorporate my comb every month or so.

I don't want to pay someone to do them but know I don't have the skill or patience to do them myself.

So I'm loving the hair laziness of these WL-HL twist extensions. I think I'll stay in these for a while and grow my natural hair back out.
My hair is still in microlocs so it was easy to install them. We'll see how it goes as it grows out. I'm thinking of trying a crochet weave next to scratch my big braid out itch.
