^^I just did my first wng in months last night. I had braids in for the longest and before that I had been rocking braidouts and buns on stretched hair. The reason I did rock it last night is b/c DH and I were going out and I needed to do something quick fast and in a hurry, lol. I forgot how easy and carefree it is to rock. Debating on whether I should shoot for 2nd day hair. hmmm.

What do you do to achieve 2nd day hair?? I have no idea how to do it

@NikkiQ - Long and full and on FIRE!

JJamiah full yes. Fire (red) yes. Long...negative! lol

Ok, I think it's time to give my hair some attention. It seems to be patiently waiting on me but, I don't know... I'd better do something before it starts throwing a hissy fit.

NikkiQ Something that has worked for me (but unfortunately I can not attest to getting it right every single time, but enough) is to do several giant loose twists, maybe two or three revolutions/per twist (I hope I said that right ) and then bobby pin to my head. Because my hair is not very dense I usually have only about 5. That's 2 in the front, 2 in the back, and 1 in the center. I think in addition to thickness, the length of your hair will determine how many twists you ahve to do. the shorter the hair, the more twists you may need to do.

The key really is for the twists to be loose, so as not to stretch it out. Also, don't twists all the way down to the ends.That's why I pin them up, so they won't unravel, since I'm not twisting to the ends. Put on my bonet and go night night. Wake up, take down and fluff.

Im on my last week of holiday and i need to attempt a few more things with my hair so i can feel like i accomplished something with my time

Twist out

Diffusing

make the rest of my butters

I make a distinction between types of breakage....my abusive way of taking off my glasses caused some breakage above my ears (I'm better now) and my rough scarf caused some breakage at the nape..but for some reason those types of breakage don't stress me out since I know exactly what it's about. Seeing little pieces of hair on my shoulder or floor now that breakage (back in the day thankfully) totally stressed me out.

I must admit. Even though I'm on a hair forum, I really don't like talking about hair to people IRL. I cringe when people ask me about my hair and the specifics of what I use.

I start to cringe a little as well, but only because I'm afraid they won't understand what I'm saying! And you get people who seem interested but don't want to listen.

I agree. I felt a bit weird when this white lady came up to my when I was out on Saturday and wanted to know what to do with her "half" daughter's hair. Between her super blond hair and tanned face and body, breasts hanging out of her top, and my SO and I having just spent the last 15 minutes giggling because she had just dissed some poor white guy while rubbing up against as many black men standing against the wall as she could, I was tongue-tied.

She was pretty nice, complimented my hair, and said she knew she wasn't supposed to relax it. All I could manage was a not yet (because I assumed her daughter is less than 3 as she called her "her baby" at some point) and to condition it regularly. She looked like she had some more questions, but was hesitant to ask. I just feel weird discussing hair outside of forums or with close friends.

Same here...I can't think of a way to make it into a 3 minute conversation so I just don't bother.

Reminder as to why I don't like silicones...think I'll need to poo wash tomorrow

 

[Embyra]

Just fluffed out my hair with some butters worked like a charm its a keeper!

 

[chelseatiara]

I miss my curls protective styling sucks lol

 

[NJoy]

Getting the urge to trim my ends. I think I'll do a S&D instead next week. That'll give the urge to trim time to pass. Scheduling S&D for 3/20.

 

[SherylsTresses]

I received my Qhemet Biologics AOHC and BRBC in the mail today and can't wait to try them...!!!

 

[Anakinsmomma]

I gonna treat myself to some cornrows on Tuesday

It's gonna be warm the next few nights... Might wear a braidout to finish out the work week since I'm getting braided up

Make that Wednesday. I'm loving this wash n go too much and it's been awhile since the hubby has seen the curlies.

I'm walking around pulling random curls going "boing!". I'm pretty sure my coworkers think in crazy.

I'm learning that I have to take my relationships like I take my hair...slow and steady...

I was looking at my edges last night. I think I am going to have to give up my beloved wigs for a indefinte time frame. I don't know what to do to my hair naturally though. I know relaxing won't solve the problem but I just don't know. Braids make me a bit nervous as it may be too stressful on my fine hair..man if I shave it all off then no worries right.

 

[kittenz]

GoddessMaker have you tried any natural styles? Twists(outs), shingling, puffs?

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

kittenz I don't like the way I look with natural hair. Twist seem to tangle my ends like no other for some reason. This is why I'm soo tempted to relax.

 

[kittenz]

GoddessMaker I think you should relax and you seem to have your heart set on it. There's no reason for you to be walking around with hair you don't like especially since relaxed hair can be just as healthy. Get some JBCO for your edges and get a style that will make you feel great!

I made an appointment with an Aveda salon for highlights. I don't want to go light or have my color lifted (I hope I used the phrase correctly ), but not sure what color to select. My hair is really naturally very dark so I don't know. I have also used henna so even more unsure.
