I have decided to participate more in the hair forum. My one year post relaxer and post BC was yesterday (lol I relaxed and immediately regretted it and cut it all the way off).
 
**So I went back in my journal to see how I got 4 inches in 6 months. PSing. I was bunning everyday for my job. So now I am even more determined to leave my hair alone(psing 5X a week without redoing everyday) until December. I cant wait to see what I get:)
**My hair is deliciously soft right now:)
 
My new motto, Health 1st, Hair Later :yep: Someone mentioned something that struck a chord and now I'm motivated to do my thang! They suggested I value my hair more than my health. Not in those words but that's what is equated to imho. I sweat something serious so I better get good at cowashing. Right now I suck at it. My hair tangles badly. I'm glad the comment was made; think it was the wakeup call I needed.

SuchaLady, good luck.

Are you ok Diva?
 
Thanks divachyk! I currently work in the bookstore of my university now and I guess because I am a college student they feel as if I also serve as a modern day slave. The heck with that. I will stretch my refund check to the max in a minute if need be.
 
Yeah I need to get my life together. It's little children sick with cancer and moms struggling to do the best she can with her kids and I upset myself because I cant get the fuzzies to lie down in the front of my pony. :rolleyes:
 
Curlybeauty - I'm just being dramatic. Thanks for asking; I'm in great health. I was speaking to someone who highlighted in casual conversation (wasn't meaning to offend or be rude) that I take great of my hair but I always have a reason why I can't make it to the gym. I was somewhat put off by the comment but, you know what...it was a true statement/analysis. I have every excuse in the book why I can't workout (ask Myjourney2009; she's heard a few of them and have been very supportive) but I be washing my hair on the regular. I'll clear my schedule to wash my hair. Lol. Not really but just saying that to prove a point that I quickly realized I make time for my hair, why not make time for the gym. :yep: Thanks for checking.
 
This is me all over!!!! I'm really gonna start up exercising again....i've become so lazy with it, seen as i hate exercise and love anything hair related, i may set myself some rules.....like no lhcf till daily exercise is done.........boy i'd be fit!!!
 
I don't know why I bother...
she always complaining that she is getting breakage and splits
but when I suggest she put down the flat iron and blowdryer for extended periods she acts like I have 2 heads...
I'm going to just let her complain...
products are not a magic wand... they certainly help but its not the be all and end all..

One way that helps me is joining groups free/gym whatever. I find someone in the group that will hold me accountable. If I am not there they call me. If they are not there I am calling them. It makes it easier when I dont want to let someone else down because I find that I am prone to making excuses for myself too:grin:
 
Carrying on about co washing yet again!! My new growth is ridiculously soft, I can run my fingers through my hair with NO problem. My hair (roots especially) has never felt like this (especially @ 9 weeks post). The only other solution is that my hair isn't growing:blush:
My initial goal was to stretch for 16 weeks. I'm going to have to be careful. I do feel at this rate I can stretch for a very very long time but there have been enough threads that caution against stretching too long:nono:
ok ok I'll stop the public pontificating now:look:
 
This Sat will make 10 wks post relaxer. I got my roots blown out this past Friday and my hair is so much more manageable, it's like I have a fresh perm. The hairdresser didn't even blow my roots for long. I was stressing over needing a relaxer b/c I just couldn't manage my new growth, but she told me not to perm as yet and just blow the roots. I'm crossing my fingers that I don't get any breakage or damage from having my roots blown, but I can't emphasize how much of a relief it is to be able to glide the comb through my hair. In the mornings, all I have to do is comb it back and put it up in a claw clip... no more fighting with my new growth. I'm going to see if I can do this for another 5 weeks and then get a relaxer on the 16th week.
The only thing is that I refuse to work up a crazy sweat and mess up my roots. I will have to work out at home and do my exercise dvd's b/c I realize I sweat far less in my head then when I go to the gym and do a lot of cardio. If this regimen works for me, I will go back to getting a touch up every 16 wks, as opposed to every 8-10wks. I really want my hair to get healthier and thicker and I know the first step is stretching my relaxer.
 
I've got to adjust to having this much hair. I've been saying that since I don't wear it out much so when I do, I'm like :drool: But last night, when I was finger detangling and oiling my hair, it was huge and I was trying to smooth it down to tame it...about to whine about how I'm not able to do anything with it and maybe there IS such thing as too much hair. But then it occurred to me, duh! This is what it looks like to have this much hair. I :drool: over HairCrush's big hair but mine gets big and I'm all :eek2: So, at that point, I fluffed my hair out a bit and am now loving the largeness of it.

And I have to say, I'm much lazier with my hair than i was last year. I think it's because I'm still expecting it to act like last year's hair. Nope. This is 2011 hair and it's big. :grin:
 
NikkiQ these mini clips are an absolute must have.......IMHO:look:

Makes bun making super duper easy:yep:

mini banana clip bun side.jpg side bun

mini banana clip bun top.jpg top bun

both done in about 2 minutes or less...and I am very style challenged.
 
i have inspired a teenage to go natural! yay! she knows that i cut all of my hair completely off last year and is amazed how much it has grown since then.

i thought about getting braids, but i don't want them to shrink up. i want to show my length somewhat even though it still might be a little shrinkage. i wish wearing beads weren't seen as ghetto or childish.

I bought the regular size that was only available at Walmart. I am wearing it today too, but not in a bun style. My hair is off to the side a bit and is hanging down. It shows off your length indeed.

Thanks for the pics Nix08 !
