I found out how much my hair LOVES glycerin and jojoba oil. My hair's SO soft now:yep:. I just wish I knew this a few months ago when I was battling dryness and breakage. :ohwell:
 
I'm really not focused on length right now. Once it's p/m balanced, m&s I'm good. I find myself wanting to leave my hair alone as much as possible.
 
I am giving weaves another chance. This time I won't keep them in so long anymore before taking them down. I sure hope that I can keep my hair healthy underneath it.
 
feeling that i need to try washing/ DC'ing without braiding it up. i dont think it does much for me.

did a wash, DC, and blow out/ flat iron tonight, for the week. Going to the bf's house tomorrow and for the rest of the holidays, and I haven't used heat since Thanksgiving.

Trying to use up this VO5/ Kenra mix, because i want to start my new stash for the new year!! <3 <3 <3
 
From Wanakee's hair brochure:

"Once a young lady asked, "About how long would it take for me to grow my hair really long?" I told her it would take about 4 years with regular trimmings. She said "Four years? I’ll be 34 years old in four years, that’s too much time!" I had to remind her that she was going to be 34 years old in four years anyway; might as well get there having fabulous hair."
 
I catch the scent of sweet tea and realize I just oil rinsed with my last applicator bottle of neem oil infusion instead of using the brahmi infusion ... alrighty then :look:
 
I'm realizing that 2011 was my worst hair year ever. So I was trying to figure out how to get myself on track for 2012. I was on and off transitioning for a great deal of 2011, and the uneven relaxing and resulting textures caused a lot of breakage, Last year I was proud of myself for reaching BSL. I'm currently around SL. My ends are terrible because I never trim. My hair has shed like crazy in the past few months (I don't know why) so it's also thinner. I didn't use much heat and kept my hair pulled back and bunned for most of the year. I don't think it helped at all. I a few days ago, looked in the mirror, and cried.On a good note, I'm 22 weeks post and finally committed to going natural. I keep telling myself that I'm what I'm worrying about is hair that will one day be replaced with thicker and healthier hair.

So for 2012, I'm trying to get things in order. I'm going to get my hair trimmed this week to help my ends. I need to protective style, but bunning is not the way for me. I think I'm going to go back to wigs and half-wigs. I'm also thinking of having my hair braided and rocking my u-part wig. I'm just concerned about leave-out. For 2012, I want to leave my hair alone as much as possible and let it grow. I want to be natural by 2013.

I was going to start a new thread, but then I realized no one would care. :lol:
 
Why did I try and use a holding style aid again? Has all the knots and dryness not taught me a thing? I caught the pj and it is a hair killa. Lemmie stick with what I know has worked in the past and sit down somewhere.
 
:) my flat-ironing on Sunday night went really well! My hair is great right now, a bit wavy at the roots/ one-third of the way down the shaft, but I think it adds some thickness...

Anyway, it's pretty, and swingin' itself somewhere between SL and APL...enjoying it.

I'm so paranoid, I don't like having my hair down without a silk scarf draped over my shoulders! I'm afraid that a half hour with it rubbing against my wool sweater will take inches off my hair!! *paranoidddddd...*
 
BreeNique You. Are. Not. Alone. Lol! I am planning to get a flexi rod set soon & I am SO stressing that my hair will rub against my shoulders too much- especially since I know I'm going to try & keep the style for at least a week. Ends exposed for more than a few hours?!? NOOOO! Lol. Can't live like this! :)

I have had this bun in my hair for 2 days and I have no intention of taking it down anytime soon. I am kinda sick of doing my hair:( Hopefully, I can snap out of it before I cause a set back
 
I am determined to find a bun for every occasion!

I'm flying home this Christmas so I can't bring my arsenal of hair products. I have to find quick, easy, minimal product styles......
 
I can't stand nosy biddies. I was having a convo with my co-worker (Come early Jan it will be 1 yr nappiversary and i did not use any heat for the whole year - no flat iron, blow dry, nada)
Why ol heffer but in saying yes you did use heat, cause you wash your hair in hot water.
Huh? you getting in my business? Had to come out my professional manner

deleted my response for the other coworker I was speaking too, I gotta keep the few associates I got there

Yeah it was more shocking cause I only speak and socialize with very few people there. I have been there for 4 years and everyday I get someone asking if i just started cause they don't see me chatting and befriending people.

She just thought she could but in and say what ever she wanted - oh no. It would be different it i was talking to her but naw homie you should of kept it moving

Oh yeah, I'm just posting my review of Bee Mine for moisturisers the hair milk and butter for AfroDolll

It took me so long to use them because I didn't know how to incorporate commercial moisturisers in to my reggie as I'm so used to sealing with water and shea butter.

Anyway, I got a chance to use them when I had a hectic week at uni and they are okay. There's not much difference between the butter and the milk accepts that they are different textures and the milk smells really nice. No commercial moisturiser whether it's water based or oil based is good enough for my hair anyway so I can't really give it a positive review
Click to expand...

Thanks melissa-bee. I have the same problem with moisturisers, most of the them are too light for my 4b hair, especially in winter. I ordered some Oyin Hair Dew because of all the good reviews, but it didn't do anything for my hair.

Ok, so you wet your hair with water and seal with the shea butter? Is it pure/unrefined. I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm in London too and I only see Cantu Shea butter in the shops. Sorry for all the questions :yawn:
 
Yes. I spritz my hair with water and then I seal with unrefined shea butter. I get my shea butter online from sheabutter cottage > www.akuawood.co.uk/search.php . You could probably get shea butter form ebay as well.
Spritzing and sealing with a butter is the only thing that works for me and keeps my hair moisturised for days at a time. I've tried avocado butter in the past and it does work but I prefer shea at the moment. I want to try hemp seed butter next. AfroDoll
 
This Pura Body Natural Chocolate Smoothie has turned me into a real DC snob. Nothing can compare to it anymore:nono:. Not my beloved HV Sitrinillah, CJ rehab, Joico Moisture recovery or any other DC I was using before. Sigh. I am out of the country until Early January and I only have a maybe 2 uses left. I didn't receive my other jars before I left and I am now stuck with my other mediocre DCs :lachen:

On another note, I suffer from serious, serious hairnorexia. All this time I was hoping and praying for APL. Thinking I was barely APL. I stretched my hair and took a pic last night...I am BSL:drunk:. My shrinkage is out of this world. It feels unreal! I can't wait to straighten my hair on my Bday!
 
2011 year end reflection.

Mistakes:
-Detangling in the shower
-Using seam combs
-Using the tangle teazer/denman brushes
-Cheap conditioners
-Over moisturizing

Hopefully, I can reach my goal of grazing BSL by March.
