Deep conditioning my hair under a wig I borrowed from my Mom. There are multiple secrets on my head

Wonder what my hair will look like when I wash it out.

I really enjoyed wearing my hair down/straight these past couple days for the first time in months and I'm finally apl..the longest my hair has ever been so I'm excited about that

Now its time to bun it up till next week.

YAAAS!!!!

I finally did it! Cornrows. On my own head. All by my onesie!

Y'all don't know how I struggled to learn! Shoot I'm like all thumbs Mind you, these 'rows should never see the light of day, but they're going under a wig anyway and i don't have to depend on anyone.

Did ma own cornrows! Did ma own cornrows!

^I cannot stop laughing.



Also, I just accidentally clicked into the W'Hip Length Challenge 2012 thread, and I hate every single one of them up in there. *stomps away*

Damn wig. It stays on all night, while wrestling with a perp but slips off when I take off my shirt in front of a nurse and coworker. Greaaaaaaaaat.

My hair looked so good after I washed it yesterday. I want to wash more often but now i'm bunning every day so it doesn't matter too much how it looks, just need to stay moisturized and protected

I usually keep my hair obsession away from DH so, he rarely gets to see my hair out, let alone flat ironed.

Last night I was oiling my scalp and braiding my hair back up while watching tv. DH says slowly, almost mesmerized, "Wow! Your hair is so long and beautiful".

My hair reverted! All of it! No heat damage!

Holy Shrinkage Batman!!!!!!

 

[MrsJaiDiva]

My face wasn't made for short hair...I finally feel like im seeing Myself in the mirror again!

 

[CherryBomb]

Thinking of dying or bleaching my hair.

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

I guess the crisco is a hit for me.When I detangled my hair today my comb barely had any hair in it.I was very happy.If this helps for moisture I'm going to be livid bc crisco is def easier on the pockets than any butter from a bss..

 

[Anakinsmomma]

I've got some Crisco in the fridge... I'm tempted to seal with it.

I straightened my hair over the break. I've been natural for about 10 months, and this is the first time I wore my straightened hair out in public. I LOVE it, it's so freakin healthy and silky and swangy. Shout out to Carol's Daughter Chocolat condish and blow dry cream.

But it made me realize that some ppl really prefer straight hair. One person actually said, 'Finally!!' when she saw me. I said, 'Finally what?' She said, 'Finally you've come to your senses and started pressing your hair!' I'm like... What in the holy hell? *sigh* She and others like her will be disappointed because I'm only keeping this look for about a week more, then I'm going back into my curls. It was a super nice change and I really love it, but I'm a curly girl fo lyfe.

Scalp massages with neem oil are nice

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

It's official! Vo5 does NOT work on my natural hair. Sad because it smells sooooo good!

 

[Arian]

At work researching more hair products..don't get me wrong. I'm happy with my current products, but I just.can't.help.it!

I wish I could stop, but everytime I see a natural with a beautiful, thick head of hair, I look at her products and wonder, "Is this what I can become in another year using HER regimen?"

I have to remember: Simplicity is key.

OAN, I moisturized with QAOHC and sealed with Castor Oil this morning. Pulled my hair in a puff because I was wearing a scarf. I am starting to really loathe twistouts on my hair. I'd rather let my hair airdry curly and wear a variation of styles that way. My hair seemed to do better when I did that vs. wearing twists. Maybe if I hurry to get the ends sealed with a thick oil like my beloved Castor oil, I can avoid SSKs and still wear my hair the way that I want it...lubricated ends=less SSKs..something to ponder

I LOVE high buns. They are great to sleep in and don't interfere with my workouts I can't wait until I hit BSL because I am going to do some massive high buns. You aint going to be able to tell me nothing

So I got these gummy vitamins and I always have trouble staying on vitamins because swallowing pills is annoying...liquid ones are disgusting...and I just can't displine myself enough. With these gummy vitamins, I'm starting to get afraid that ill want to eat MORE than I should lol. Maybe I should get some regular gummies to stop the cravings. These are actually pretty good...might be able to keep taking these.

hmm...if all I grew and retained this year is the standard 6", then that wouldn't be bad...not bad at all!

 

[Raspberry]

So much hair porn here over the past week, you ladies are amazing...

I've definitely been inspired

 

[Nonie]

Scalp massages with neem oil are nice

Did you say you Neem?

I must say you're the bravest soul I know choctaw.

 

[hair4romheaven]

I can't stand when people think they know EVERYTHING about EVERYONES hair. Uugghh!!

 

[southerncitygirl]

i wish that all the ladies in the hair section of this forum took excercise and eating better as seriously as their hair products and regimens. my wish for everyone in 2012 is better mental, physical and spiritual health.

if qhemet's stock runs out before i can get to it when she has her sale, i'll just head to brooklyn to buy more. that amla and olive heavy cream is the business. its worth the cash whether its on sale or not cause a little goes a long way!


Nonie i have a neem facial cream for garden of wisdom that is very nice. because it has myrrh and basil essential oils in it you can't smell the funk of the neem y'all got me scared cause i've never smelled neem oil in its purest form

 

[choctaw]

Did you say you Neem?

I must say you're the bravest soul I know choctaw.

Nonie,

I made my own neem oil with powder and olive oil. I believe the commercial neem oil is produced from the seeds and smells much stronger. The powder stinks but after soaking in olive oil it smells like sweet tea and it feels good

Mom wants to play in my hair tonight and attempt a roller set. I think I'm more excited than I probably should be.

Steeping a batch of dried ayurvedic herbs for rinses (fenugreek, hibiscus and catnip).

 

[Whimsy]

I forgot how much I love my hair straight and out. I'm going to be straight until May dammit!
