I'm trying to figure out why I felt the only twist I could do were mini twists!? Making larger sections and they are coming out so cute! My PS for hopefully two weeks. . .

@blcbuty@, Would love to see it. I have only done mini twists because my hair seemed too short. But would love to do bigger twists.

I'm thinking to start in the new year...dd will be one and hopefully I can get a minute to myself. I like making clothes:grin:
 
My bantu knot out was a fail b/c some of the knots were bigger than others so now I re did them. I think I have like over 30 bantu knots on my head and hopefully they will look better tomorrow.
 
Watched a movie tonight with dh. I usually moisturize and bun my hair, but tonight I didn't. I let my hair hang down and free.

It was fun.

Of course after the movie I moisturized in sections and put in a bun! :)

The raw shea butter that I ordered from Butters-n-Bars smells like cheese. :perplexed Wat do?

It was unopened until the 29th.
 
Previously I had a 7" (walmart standard) banana clip. Picked up some 5.5" ones and woohoo, so much easier to work with!!:yay: I have 3.5" ones on order, I can't wait:lick:

ETA: moral of the post...get the smallest banana clip that can securely hold your hair, then create yummylicious buns a la divachyk
 
Next week I think I am going to brave twists again. I already know they are going to have to be big otherwise they will look anorexic. I will also have to braid the front because it is not as curly as the back:) Twists here I come:)
 
I really like the sound of CJ Honey Butta but the glycerin got me like :nono: especially for a year round moisturizer. Maybe I can come up something similar without it:) My hair is pretty happy with what I got but the PJ in me is always looking for multiple alternatives. Hummm off to do some experimenting:grin:
 
Soo I want to henna over my bleached out hair(which is redish to start with)

I see no warnings, only encouragement( to help prevent or stop further damage) in my searches off site.

thoughts? Advice? Warnings?Experiences?

can u mention me in any responses please and thanks
 
Made my Celies fatter this time around and I dig it. 16 braids are enough for me. Helluva lot easier than trying to be 32.
 
So... I may never wash my hair again.

Because this wash and go is now on it's 4th(or maybe 5th? I've lost count!) day and it still look awesome! Loving it! I normally wash my hair on Sunday night coz I have work on Monday but I don't think I will be washing tonight!
 
Nix08 - welp my buns have been looking a little on the diet side. I roller set my hair last week and man o man. My hair is so sleek and shiny (it looks great) but it's doing nothing for the buns. So, I think I need to wear my hair out when roller setting and bun when air drying. Air dried hair is bigger, thus the buns are yummier.

That's a good point, because since air drying I don't fancy my flat ironed hair as much as I use to. It's a good thing I guess.

NikkiQ what are Celies?? Or anyone else:look:

They are just plaits/reg braids

Celies taken from the movie "The color purple":

For us the "Celie" braids alot neater at the scalp area because they hair is pulled tighter
 
^^^^ they are big, juicy, spacey braids or twists. like Celie from the ""Color Purple."
i got that going on right now under my bonnet.

i think i will go back to cowashing and use the poo bar once in a while for clarifying. just trying to think of the best route to keep my hair moisturized. i don't want to use a lot of product to get my hair soft. i have went through one container that should have latest more than a 1 1/2 month. i am so thirsty right now. i want a slushie, some water, and some Swiss Almond Vanilla ice cream.

Today is wash day! Just washed my hair today after wearing the biggest fro ever for about a week. My hair really needed some TLC though. Would post a pic but this is the internet. Trying oil rinsing today and I have no idea what to expect. Decided to just sit under the dryer for about 10 mins or so instead of just rinsing it out then I am going to DC. I have no idea what to do with my hair after that but I do want to look really cute. Any suggestions???

I lost all 3 of my flexi 8's!! Oh the horror! I will have to tear my house apart to find them or just buy new ones. Hmm mine were getting a little too small anyway.

Nix08 I am a little bit. When I rinsed it out I about died because it felt so straight. Once it started to air dry I calmed down. I'm doing an Aphogee 2 step right now. I'll post pics later.
