Yes, as long as you wear your hair out some of the time.

These grays are getting on my nerves!
I'm about to dye my hair because they are getting out of hand!

That's what I did, but my hair ended up like Kentucky Fried Keratin. I gotta choose either the relaxer or the color lol. Right now it's neither.

I really be feeling so glam under the steamer it’s opulence.

I need to cut the hair spending out. I am going to try for a no buy for the month of February. I can't keep buying at the rate I am and not using product. I am going to try and do a full wash day every week and see if I can use up some products. I have so much gel its unbelievable!

I feel this way about wigs like you don’t even like being on camera that much at work so you just collecting.

Sigh. Of course, I get my hair perfect and then get alopecia areata. Of course.
At least, my spots are filling in quickly. The spots popped up about 3 weeks ago and they‘re already covered with peach fuzz. My derm was pleased.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I tried to do my crochet braids without cornrows but my hair and scalp would not let a chick be great, so cornrows it is lmao

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

When they said micro braids, they really meant micro.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

These braids so raggedy, I'm glad they're crochet braids.

I didn't feel like editing but I'm glad they're crochet micro braids lol. I bought 20 packs but the shipping was due to the nature of how they're made, I'll probably have no problems washing them, and I might not have to buy any for a while, but I just might anyway because you know how these companies act.

I'm thinking that they can be hot water dipped, but I might have to experiment. My little heathen is a big fan of them, so I tied some to the door for her, but she still tried to get mine little stinker

I’m glad it’s growing back quickly.

I’m glad it’s growing back quickly.

Thank you!
It’s so frustrating, but I’m taking it in stride. The last two years have been frustrating. It could be a lot worse.

Indigenous Strandz little clip of her shrinkage reminds me of mine. No evidence of hair/curls getting weighed down as your hair gets longer:

Wow. Our hair is amazing.

That is unreal. I think this is how my hair would behave if it ever got that long.

I saw this lol I can see my shrinkage doing this to me, because why not

 

[ClassyJSP]

Everyone is into blunt cut ends but I really like how my hair naturally grows into a U shape.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Whoops, took my hair down lol. These hair styles are lasting me way less lately lol. This time, it was uncomfortable to sleep in.

I haven't got a trim since July. I know I'm a few months overdue. I'll get as much growth before then that way I don't notice the trim. I'm using hair growth co rice water leave in on my scalp. It smells so good. I use the oil occasionally, but that doesn't smell good at all.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I have to stop trying to cut corners lol. It always takes me longer when I do that. Now I have to take down my hair and redo it, but for now I'm gonna wear a headwrap. I'll try it again tomorrow lmao

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I need to take a break from doing hair. I'm putting in some mini braids with no discernable parts outside the main parts I made, and I'm going to wrap some hair around them. I may or may not let them loc. I am gonna make sure my edges look somewhat presentable, because it would probably bother me

currently using rice water along with fenugreek pills, hair skin and nails pills, and iron. I feel like the rice water is helping alot actually. I have an inch of growth on my crown for the month of January, my average growth is 0.3 inch/month. But the growth seems to be relative to the growth of that area of my head if that makes sense. Like my crown always grows the most, it always grows the 0.3 so it grew an inch, but areas like my nape always grow very slowly so while there is growth there its not an inch.
So im challenging myself to try and use a rice water spray everyday on my scalp for February to see how much I can get in a month. Im excited because Ive been a LHCFer for over 10 years and have tried soooooo many growth aides and my hair always only gave me 0.3 a month. I half didnt think rice water would do anything but i figured since i dont have to buy anything and my hair loves protein anyways so why not. And there was so much evidence online of it working for people.
I wonder if i can solidify 12 inches this year??

Keep us posted! I was trying to shoot for and inch per month too but I can't seem to figure out a way to get past .5 in a month or less but I'm not sure if my hair isn't growing that fast or if I'm having alot of breakage.

 

[Prettymetty]

No one:

Me: ok I'm ready to take these braids down...

I almost made it to 3 weeks. These growth aids have me outchea looking fuzzy. Too bad the weather is crappy this week. I'd get a blowout. I'll just take these down, shampoo, dc and throw the wig back on.

I am going to use mostly professional products on my hair for a year and see how my hair fares. I am also going to see if I can stick to the same products all year. ( except for stylers) I'm tired of being such a product junkie.

I feel real grown drinking this tea without honey. The licorice makes it sweet, but I cant stand the taste of licorice. Sigh.

Liquid fast all day today. Lets see if Im able to not kill anyone before 2 pm.

Have you ever done braids or a weave? Did your hair grow doing that?

yeah im careful with it because the rice water seems to be drying my hair out. So im only applying it to my roots now and upping my deep conditioning to twice a weeks and twice weekly baggying. There's no point in growing 1 inch a month if your hair is so try its snapping and breaking off and the same rate.

Yes. Especially if she is knowledgeable. Wigs are a protective style. No judgment here. I wear them too. Ain't nobody got time to tussle with these 4b kinks everyday
