I didn't wash my hair today like I was supposed to. I stayed up all last night watching CNN, and ended up taking a nap with the boys. My poor hair.

I skipped a wash and my hair is dry as hay .

Tresemme apparently has a line coming out called Keratin Smooth in January 2013. I assume it's going to be in Canada too. Now I love Tresemme, the original formulas are the bomb but that Tresemme Naturals line... I hope this is good, unless it's a BKT then no thanks.

I got so many compliments on my twistout today. It looked good but didn't feel as soft as I wanted. Doing an overnight DC, just because.

So little tangling since I trimmed my hair. Almost makes me think I should do it more often

Oh my gosh. I finally figured out my wash n go routine! :reddancer: I am so happy. It's been kind of hard trying to figure out what works.

Lol interestingly enough, it involves products I tried right after I chopped: Kinky Curly. I did not like that stuff before, but maybe the Curly Girl method is helping, or I'm just using it with better products. For me, I DC overnight with Elucence MB and Hairveda Sitrinillah. Then in the morning, I blot my hair a bit with a T-shirt and apply Curls in a Bottle and KCKT (for me a big difference is using these clear, watery leave-ins instead of the creams I tried before). Then KCCC and I clip my sections back as I work on them. I do get a gel cast, but it's gone much more quickly than with Eco gels, and I can smooth it out section by section if I want. I diffuse it a little bit with cold air or the lowest heat setting if I have time.

I've only done this twice, but I got SECOND DAY HAIR both times (which has NEVER happened). I think I could go longer, but my hair doesn't pineapple well because the nape is still short. For the third day I put it in a puff and the fourth day I bun. It still looks good those days, but the back is frizzier. And it gets bigger.

That's all. I hope that helps someone! I have dense, low porosity hair with thick strands and a great variety of curl sizes.

I just made APL but I need a trim. Going to have to find a day to set some time aside in order to dust them.

Just greased my scalp again. I believe that's twice this week. Also I have had my weave I for 2 weeks (come tomorrow) & I haven't washed it yet, I was seriously thinking not wash it for 4 weeks and go get a touch up at the salon and so be it from there.

Also my edges are filling in again. I have been taking my hair vitamins and also rubbing and oiling them every night.

STILL haven't gotten my orders from iherb.com, becoming really uptight and impatient. This is what I get for relying on free shipping.

This super cold weather is killing my hair. 12 degrees? I am not on my game and my hair is suffering!!! I don't know what to do. My hair still freezes under hats. Then I got breakage from my wool coats in my nape. I am discouraged. The wool made my eczema flair even though I had a scarf. I am super sensitive again. I had a reaction in August or September to a hair product and now I am having reactions to everything.

Looks like 4-5 ponytails and then the hair is twisted ( like when you do bantu knots) and bobby pinned in place.

I think I might be too heavy handed with my products

 

[Fine 4s]

My twists have been in for over 6 weeks. I haven't washed them either.
I'm attached...

Got my CurlMart order in yesterday. I generally don't buy many natural hair care brands and "curly hair products" online so this is a real treat. I may place another order this weekend since they have a free shipping promo.

 

[Lissa0821]

My rollerset looks kinda wack. I have 3 or 4 inches of underprocessed hair which has fullness and about 3 inches of super straight relaxed ends. I have a slight puff with a bunch of straight, squiggly ends. Plus, I think I used too much product for my roller set. Oh well

 

[mamaline]

I'm really tempted to flat iron my hair tonight.

Wen makes a great gift! I put a "hair" gift bag together for my mom last year. I included a 16oz Wen Vanilla Mint since that was the Winter flavor last year. I also included one of the many extra Wen dvds I had so she could see the proper way to use it. I threw in a wide-toothed comb and some other hair goodies.

The bag was the color of the Wen label. She loved it!

I personally use Wen Fig and it works well for my hair. I don't know if the Winter Vanilla Mint is out this year.

Thanks sunnieb....do they sell the videos separate if you don't want to be on a repurchase plan?

I'm itching to cut my hair and finish my transition. It's gonna be 9 months sometime next week. I've never had my hair that short and I don't think I can handle it, but this weather is making me very tempted. The cold dry air is making my hair very weird. My natural hair is taking products well and is well moisturized. My relaxed is a whole different story

Can anyone share pics of their hair length after 9 months growth of their natural hair (from scalp to tip is what I mean, not SL to APL or anything like that).

I don't have any pictures but IIRC my hair was like 4/5-ish inches in some spots, 5/6-ish inches in others when I was at 9 months. I would recommend waiting if length is a concern. I'm going to be honest (based off of MY personal experience/observations of course), if you cut now and hold on to every inch of natural hair that you have (meaning you don't get it cut to even it up or anything, you just cut at the demarcation line) you will be in for a long "awkward" period. I would hate for you to cut too soon and regret it. Again, if length is a concern, I highly recommend that you wait.

I can't wait to wash my hair on Sunday.


I think I need a new hat, or a winter regimen because my hair is shedding a little too much for me.

Excuse the typos but i'm on my iPod touch
