I hate watching YT videos in front of DH. He keeps coming in here sitting down saying he's watching and learning about hair but I know he's just gonna make jokes when I least expect it.

Must DC hair ASAP

I need a new flat iron and some more MT. Maybe a natural moisturizing DC :yep:

I'm almost at BSL. I think if I get a proper blowdry and flatiron, my real length will be BSL. #teamWL2013

I think the MSM is loosening my hair texture also...my NG has a 3c wave to instead of the 4a craziness. I'm going to continue stretching and see what happens.
 
I have so much new growth and it's talking forever to section my hair before roller setting. I have made over 8 attempts in 3 weeks to straighten this mess... Too lazy to section the hair and I always give up after applying a leave-in conditioner.

I hope I can handle this on tomorrow morning. I need:

A deep conditioning
Roller set
Flat iron new growth

Did u ever try air drying 75% then rollersetting? I normally spray each section with water and wet the roller before rolling. For some reason it makes roller setting so much easier for me especially when there is lots of NG. Sectioning damp to dry hair is easier for me for some reason.

Thank you! That method doesn't work for me unfortunately. I don't get the movie star look doing it. I just haven't had the energy to do it :-( car accident, moving, getting stuff stolen from the old apartment... Hence the wig in my siggy.

Fine 4s. I wonder if that's why I'm getting breakage in the back. How often do you rotate?

Yes, the kinks are back! I missed my kinky coils so much that I washed my hair again. It's much easier to comb through after that trim.
 
My hair is out of control greasy :ohwell: Sigh. So last time I washed it it was to just flat iron w/o curl wax, but then I didn't like how it didn't shine w/o it. Well now...I'm in the same position where I think I put too much. I wanna wash again. And....I'm wondering if I may just need to chalk (sp?) it up and start drying my rollerset under the dryer. I usually just airdry. I'll probably need to do the dryer until some of those short pieces in the back start growing out and can truly be stretched w/ the roller. Otherwise, the back takes long as hell to really flatiron. Sigh...I really don't wanna do the dryer like that though. I'll see. I may very well just rewash in a minute.
 
Or...maybe I need to go back to just molding my hair down. But it felt like the mold could've been breaking my hair cause I would use so much mousse and it was hard. Maybe it was b/c I wasn't deep conditioning. Idk.


Hmmm....I'm really sitting here trying to figure which is best. I think what it is is I go too hard w/ the flatiron...I just need to go over the curls, not go so hard tryna get it straight when it's already straight.

And then, it is in more of a style when I do the mold.


Hmm...might try the mold right now.
 
I've made up my mind to do a big chop in June of 2013. This will make two years of transitioning. Then I'll start going to the natural haircare salon in Bk that dh goes to for his locs for some nice styles until I fully make up my mind about locs.

ShelahOco,
I'm just getting back on my hair game and wash/DC every week and TRY to co-wash in between time. I style on wash days only and sport the same style for that week. So I wear my bun at least in the same position for a week. I even sleep with it with the scrunci on (probably not a good idea). The most I'll go in the same position in 2 weeks. But honestly, I don't like my buns anywhere else on my head. It's either really low or really high (that high bun is a lot of work for me to gather the hair so I don't do it rarely).

So when I KNOW I need to change the bun position, guess what I do, just do a different twist style :perplexed
 
So I ended up rollersetting. That DC was so creamy and buttery, I couldn't bring myself to put some hard a* mousse on it for the sake of a style. So I rolled it, and relatively quickly...probably b/c I didn't use end wrappers. And then laid the edges w/ some Cantu.

It's crazy how that DC really brings out those baby hairs and just moisturizes every dang thing on your head. I can tell my scalp is loving it too.

So I plan to just go over the curls w/ a Chi iron. And not so much to make it straight, but to smooth the hair...there's a difference. I was going to hard w/ trying to straighten it. Won't use any product and hopefully I'll be able to just fingercomb my hair back in some kind of style lol.

Whatever the case, I'm excited about my hair health. Even though my last 3 washes were really do to trial and error w/ styling, I'm happy that I've had 3 really good DC's in a relatively short time. It' like my hair is caught up.

I want to get into dusting regularly. Will probably get some scissors from Sally's today. Want to make sure I'm cutting with the right scissors...Idk why that's such a big deal to me, but I hear it makes a difference. Plus, I've come to realize that I just have funny hair. It can thrive, but I can't just do any ole thing to it. Some folks can.

Here's to HHG :grin:
