hair4romheaven - I'm very sorry to hear of your situation :bighug: Hopefully the dr can assist. Do you feel the issue this time is the same as last? Did the dr give you any reasoning for the condition last time around?

allmundjoi - are you a firefighter or police? You mentioned be at work and code. My dh is a firefighter so that's why I ask.

Myjourney2009 - good luck with self braiding.

Angelicus - I would love to hear your review on the product line.

shortdub78 - congrats on finishing your twists.

Aireen - which DC did you go with?

Thanks I am going to need it. Braiding on someone else is so much easier. Getting the right amount of tension at the start of the braid is the toughest.

Lol, no. That would be so much sexier, more dangerous, but sexier.
 
I need to wash my hair but will roll with it until the weekend. Not in the mood to wash although my crown is getting a little dry. That's the area to show signs of needing TLC before any other. It will dry out on me quickly. Think I'll post a question about that in the relaxer thread. :scratchch:
 
I usually don't do pre-poos, but I think I will go ahead and use one of my less than favorite DC's as a pre-poo and then do a shorter DC treatment after my wash tomorrow.

I plan on doing a flexi-rod set tomorrow and every week onward until I set an appointment for my touch-up :)

Part of me wants to color my hair now and just get a touch-up later on closer to december..but I digress...
 
divachyk , I don't know if I am going to buy Silk Dreams Hair Products again. I can't keep my hands out of my hair and it's almost midnight! :lol: So naturally soft and silky! I will be sure to post a review tomorrow.
 
The only prepoo that I find worth my time is to pre poo with an oil before a shampoo to prevent my hair feeling stripped.

Twists are super fuzzy... I still need lots of practice.. don't care though they are staying in bejinx

Myjourney2009 all 4B hair people I know. tHENATuRALhAiRpRoJEcT asked people with 4B hair to post pics. That thread has them all. But if you just need names, Mwedzi, Sera, Foxxglove, Nappyrina, Afrokink, me, etc.

Now finding someone with hair that grows out of their head w/o a uniform pattern is what would be unique. I am yet to see that person. It would take some mutating DNA to be sprouting hair that has no defined pattern.

Like I said, show me someone whose hair grows out of their head without a defined pattern and I will show you a unicorn. Just because we manipulate our hair to make it look different doesn't change what it naturally is.
 
Yay! :woohoo:

I got Weave checked people. LOL

I was walking with a group of women who we are all trying to tone up, shape up, and get fit. LOL

So Lady A goes why you take out your phoney pony and put tracks in? I was like Huh!
I said oh no I keep a Net on my hair so it doesn't touch my back when I exercise I sweat.
She said what kind of tracks you use.
None!
I turned and her hands where already in my hair, I actually enjoyed the quick massage I got. :giggle:

She started going in a louder voice "SHUT UP" "SHUT the heck UP" WOW you don't need any tracks your hair is gorgeous. :grin:


Oh yes I henna'd & Indigo and flat ironed my hair yesterday :)

Getting sick and I don't want my poor hair to suffer b/c of it. I wanted to take my Celies out this weekend, but I won't be able to shampoo and rebraid this weekend so I may have to leave them in for another few days :(
 
I still am pondering the fact that I think my cousin and her mom (my aunt) weave checked me last month. Why else would they put their hands in my hair and touch my scalp? If You want to touch hair, you just touch a lock of hair right?

It's unbelievable, but I think it happened. My hair is only shoulder length!

Now it was 100 degrees in Dallas and my hair was poofing up. So of course it had to be my hair. But now I am more and more suspicious of my "long haired" cousin's hair that did not poof ONE BIT and laid down her back like a sedated animal. Of course she is from Dallas so maybe she knew the secrets of not getting poofy hair. Or maybe she said she doesn't get relaxers, but she had one.

But I AM suspicious now that I realize she and her mom weave checked me.

I think you owe someone a weave/relaxer check in return:look:
 
@hair4romheaven, the zigzag shape is from manipulation. There's no way anyone who wants to keep their hair and is 4B could let their hair fully settle in a compacted state once they go beyond TWA. We have to keep stretching it out to keep it from loc-ing. When you stretch out curls, you get waves which at a small scale look zigzag. The ends don't get manipulated as much as the main length which is why they stay curly.

Nonie. Hey girlie...I never let my hair settle in a compacted state that would be a tangling disaster. LOL I am convinced that there are different types of 4bs or whatever. (kinda sick of hearing # and letters for hair)
I can't get a microphone afro but I have 4B texture hair. I think it comes down to density/strand and porosity. IE: 4b with thin strands, low density and highly porous hair will look and style differently then a 4B with thick strands, high density and low porous hair. Did I just type all dat! LOL I'm thinking to much into to. Random thoughts..
 
I keep seeing threads with people texlaxing/relaxing due to time constraints or difficulties with their natural hair....

I just wanna thank God I don't have those issues. Washing/conditioning/detangling takes way less that an hour for me... Styling is simple enough since I'm a wash n go girl. I just hop in the shower, rinse my hair to get it saturated with water , add a bit of conditioner and some gel, scrunch n add a head band. My hair seems to get easier to style the longer it gets.
I'm just grateful that this is change that can be and is permanent and successful...

'Tis all.

faithVA[/USER];13991779]I used the Terresentials Lemon Coast mud shampoo tonight. And it smells like lemon cake. I love the smell and I love lemon cake. But the smell is lingering. I'm hoping I won't be craving and dreaming about cake all night. :perplexed

I really, really, really want a piece of pound cake now. :lick: Guess I'm going to bed.

Aw faith if I was closer I so would make u one. Every time I make one in our house I have to make my husband get away(otherwise he will eat it all) lmbo
 
hair4romheaven, getting a microphone afro was proved not to be the determinant of a type. Wavezncurlz, whose hair is 3B/3C showed us her hair in an afro. And I can bet my bottom dollar, your hair can form a microphone afro. It's bigger curls I didn't think could do it, but I've been proven wrong. The images in your siggy to me look like an afro that isn't styled. 4B hair if stretched may flop and not form a good afro, but apply S Curl to it, or some wet product and comb and voila!:afro:
 
I flat iron my hair last night and the longer layer hangs at BSL without pulling it :yay:

This was a relief because I was feeling bald-headed after my cornrow shrivilled up my neck from swimming this weekend :lachen: I think I will enjoy my lose hair through the weekend then its back to PS'n and working out aggressively

I hope I can get to full BSL by my Bday in Nov, now that will be something to celebrate!
 
I was curious about texlaxing and texturizing for a hot second.

But when I think of it, my hair is not hard to maintain at all.

My hair is like a boyfriend that I have nonsense arguments with sometimes.

But I have to choose my battles.

I love my hair just the way it is.

You should be glad you don't live close because I am a beggin thing with no shame at all. :grin: Then you would be on LHCF trying to talk about me undercover because I'm always trying to bribe you with some hair products for some cake. hmm that sounds like a good idea. Where you say you at? Have car will travel. :lachen: jp :look:
