If you use endpapers it will protect enough of the ends of your hair until it rolls around enough that it's hair on hair so no hair actually touches the mesh.

they are a good investment, I have two combs that have lasted for years. But I want the comb that has thinner, long teeth. I would like to use the jumbo, then follow with that to make sure I removed all of the shed hairs and tangles.

I'm not using products on my hair that don't rinse off with water on the back of my hand. I don't need something so thick, I could use it to moisturize my feet!

Sitting here trying to figure out why I haven't yet done my EOTY length check. Then I remembered, the darn shirt won't fit over this belly!
I like to be consistent with my checks to get a more accurate assessment. So glad the challenge I'm in doesn't require it.
Guess I won't be taking a pic until April or so.

I am fed up with this stupid hair of mine.
Think I'll spend the next few weeks hiding it in a hat, headscarf, or bun.

Shh, not so loud. She might hear youI am fed up with this stupid hair of mine.
but when you get that frustrated maybe it is time for a break. Hopefully after you've hidden it for a while things get better for you and y'all can kiss and make up.

I went to pick up some more Redken All Soft Shampoo, and I wasn't paying attention and accidentally got the conditioner. I decided to keep it a try it. It has okay slip, but it's not as moisturizing as the Joico Recover Balm. It might be better in the summer time when there's lots of moisture in the air. I'll try it again in late May when the humidity gets back up.
@Prettymetty, I sleep in my Slaps all the time...at first my husband complained they weren't sexy or cute and then one night he slept in one of mine and it was almost a fight to get it back! He only stopped wearing it when I threatened to cut him to the white meat...stretching my Slap with his big ole head, get your own brah!!!
Slaps are addictive!!!!

I wish I could wear hats to work. I'd definitely be under a beanie but instead I have to wig it. Will be back in wigs until April.

Ugh, I didn't leave it in long enough. To be fair, I was tired anyway lol. Oh well, I'm not fixing it til April.

Note to self: when protecting the length of your hair from relaxer run off by using conditioner and "grease" ...it made your hair hard. Find another method.

This third shift is for the birds. Thankfully my Friday is almost over in about 2 hours.
Ive been so sleepy this past week, I barely spritz my hair. Today, I will be cowashing or something. Scalp is itchy.

Oh no! What type of condish and grease did you use and in what order? Also, how many times did you neutralize? Do you do a midstep protein?
I prefer to use a moisturizing condish with cones instead of a coneless one or protein one. I use Aussie Moist and Blue Magic, in that order. For some reason EVOO and condish didn't provide me with enough protection and my hair did process again
I also make sure to neutralize a lot and do an ACV rinse. When I did my virgin Texlax a few years ago, I had so much texture left (see pic) but then it became straighter and harder bc I didn't neutralize properly.
I hope you figure it out bc you were so excited about your hair again!
Try a slippery moisturizing conditioner with a serum on top, like One N Only Argan Oil or Fantasia IC. Be sure to be as heavy handed as possible.

I can get back on my full vitamin regimen today. I switched brands of gummy vitamins and the new ones taste awful so I'm exchanging them for my usual brand. Been too cold to go out this week but I have to work today so I have no choice lol.

•I mixed them together lol
•I neutralized probably 4 or 5 times because my hair felt weird from that combination. It felt kinda sticky and coated.
•I'm scared to use ACV on my relaxed hair. I've already pushed the limit with how closely (time-wise) I've applied the chemicals lol
•Your hair is/was gorgeous!
•I think all is well again. I applied my Netwurks stuff, my PW77 (prettywitty77 moisture mix), and my oil mix. My hair is soft again
I had my head tied with my scarf and I had to take it off. My head was hot lol.
