I am looking forward to shampooing my hair in 6 twists or braids. I wonder how long my hair has to be before I can do this?

 

[ms.tatiana]

Wear my hair done and everyone thought I was a different person... Hair will be down for 2 weeks until I go into feel grind mode to get to BSL before I take graduation pictures.


Feels good to hear people say "Damn your hair as grown"

 

[ms.blue]

I'm not use to doing my hair twice a week but I do enjoying trying to style my hair.

 

[KimPossibli]

my rinse is fading... I need me some dye...

 

[winona]

Dangit I can't sleep. Humm maybe I will make a small batch of pomade with orange and lemon essential oils.

 

[SuchaLady]

Got my Chi from Ebay! Yay! Now I maybe will flat iron a little more often. I firmly believe a quality flat iron will not be as harsh on your hair as a cheaper one.

 

[SuchaLady]

I am going to look into Silk Amino Acids. I am not into fancy hair regimens but if I beliieve this will help my hair this one step that will take an extra 2 seconds will not bother me.

One month of mini twists did me some good. I'm itching to play in my hair now though and to see a banging twist out again. I'll welcome them back once the cold weather hits

Just saw the biggest, nastiest scab at the crown of my head. I decided to pick it. I was thinking of skipping on my scalp treatment but I need it for the next wash to heal that area and any other potential areas that want to flare up and get angry. Why must my crown act a fool always at the time when I'm 2+ months into my stretch? erplexed I've heard around the forum that the itching is a sign of your hair growing but that just seems like a myth to me. Anyone know if that's true if you're reading this post though?

 

[rririla]

[USER][/USER]@rririla - what did you decide about your hair?



Thanks for asking lady, I decided to just leave it alone for the time being. I am a lil afraid that texlaxing the one area will lead to breakage so I will research it a lil more. Thanx again, and ur hair is looking too gorgeous chica.

I'm a little worried that I lose too much hair when I wash. I don't remember losing this much in the past. But I'm wondering if it's the fact that I tend to comb my hair a little less (though I'm trying to go ahead and get back in the habit of "combing" and braiding every night) or the fact that I don't leave the Aphogee 2 minute on for 5-10 minutes under a cap any more. I used to do that once a week when I lived in my house with the shower hose attachment. Now I don't have an attachment so it's a hassle. I just leave the Aphogee on for 2 or 3 minutes now while I wash my face in the shower.

Maybe I should get some nugro again... maybe that made a difference?

I'm not losing pieces of hair. I'm losing big ol' long pieces!

 

[NappyNelle]

So, I'm at the doctor's office and this elderly woman has the most beautiful, natural, thick, MBL braid hanging down her dress. Don't fret ladies. Your hair can be long and healthy too.

No, I'm not cool/sly enough to have taken a picture. LOL

Aireen. I think the itchy scalp means growth sentiment is another black hair myth. For me, an itchy scalp means I need to shampoo or cowash. Lol what happened to your scalp? Why did you pick the scab?

Anyone having great luck with Megasilk DC? I used it once and have it boxed us as return item to Sally's. I just recall my hair feeling dry after using it. If you've used it, how do you like it? How did you use it (to make it benefit your hair so well)?

divachyk SE Megasilk Moisture Treatment?

 

[Nix08]

Fellow Canadians...Presidents choice - puritas conditioner is being cleared out...I love it for co washing (just picked up 8 bottles for 1.22 (that brings me to a total of 16 bottles) I wonder what would be a respectable amount to have in my stash????

Never heard of this conditioner...

 

[divachyk]

@NikkiQ - yes, from Sally's?

Me either until I saw it being cleared out Tried it and really liked it. Obviously when my stash is done I'll get the opportunity to try something else

diva I didn't like that one as much as the olive. It was ok, but I found I had to use alot of other stuff to make my grass feel touchable. I love this one.

I mix a little coconut/castor oil into it (not necessary but it makes my hair feel grand) and sit under a dryer for about fifteen minutes or so. Soft, touchable, moisturized grass.

 

[NikkiQ]

Ohhhh I love that stuff!!! One of the best DCs I've ever used. I ran out a few months ago and haven't repurchased since I'm in the "Use Up Your Stash" challenge but I'm DYING to get another jar. It made my hair so freakin soft...and that was without adding anything to it. You add any oils to it and it takes it to another level.

Random hair thought:

I've. Been. Slacking. Yesterday was the first time in a looooong time that I've sat under the dryer. I've been co-washing but being really lazy with it. Now I've got my game face on.

My grass is drying in bantu knots. Trying to stay away from styling heat.... So far, so good.

 

[Lissa0821]

I rarely ever wear protective styles because I like my hair down but the last few days I have been sporting an a bun. I am loving it, it is hot here in Atlanta and it feels good not to have any hair on my neck.

 

[kandiekj100]

Uh-oh, got that 3rd hair. And I have bigger hair, which I am just loving. Put in my 5 pinned down, chunky twists last night. Woke up this morning and shook my hair and lightly fluffed. I never have big from a wng. I don't know why I have not been doing the loose, chunky twists before, but this (coupled with the grease) is a keeper for my wng's.

Iluvsmuhgrass - I love braidouts and bantu knots but those textured styles doesn't absorb moisture as well as when my hair is straight. Sounds weird, I know.

Lissa0821 - PS is addicting. I live in FL and my neck thanks me for not letting my hair hang especially when the temp is 106 like it has been the past few days.

divachyk ...I am finding this to be so true, I know the ladies here talking bunning all the time but I have always had a take or leave it attitude about them. But the last few days it has been a beautiful thing to take my hair out of the baggy with the roller from the night before and twist it into a bun. No combing, no hands in the hair, no frizz, hair is neat. Plus, I found some satin scrunchies at a local beauty supply store recently which I use to create the bun without using any hair pins.

 

[SheenaVee]

Someone needs to hide my hair scissors. Seriously. I just cut off the rest of the red parts on my hair. It's now all back to it's natural colour except for a few tiny bits of red here and there. The only thing is, the front part is significantly shorter than the rest lol. What can I say, I'm too impatient to let it grow out and trimming it gradually.

Also, I mixed shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie together with ecostyler olive oil gel and applied it to my hair for my wash and go and OMG! Love it! It has the moisture from the smoothie and the hold from the gel and it's still soft, and no white flakes and smells good. PERFECT!
