This curl wax is the truth. For my style and it is just really sealing the hair too. It's shiny and looks laid. Still was able to get away with just setting my bangs and a bit of my crown in rollers with the rest laid down. Tonight though think I'll go ahead and roll the sides so I can wear some lil sideburn and side pieces down. I really want to get the back edged up and cleaned. Might go to this hair salon at work and let her hook it up.
 
I was talking to my grandma yesterday and she was telling me about my grandpa's mother's hair. She said it was long and she always wore it in a single braid down her back or wore intricate bun styles. I asked her what type of hair did she have and what did it look like and she said my hair reminded her of hers, and that I look just like her too. Now I have a new reason for growing my hair long... To honor my great grandmother :)
 
I was hair bored...decided to have my stylist give me highlights using bleach because I had previously dyed my hair blue black. Well I knew it would be damaging but D*AMN!!! My bleached hair is hard and very tangled when wet. And I'm not exactly in love with the color of the highlights. I really do need to get somewhere and saddown...smdh.
 
I love it when my bf refers to my hair as "that long a*s, black a*s, beautiful a*s hair" :lachen: The way he says it cracks me up lol!
 
No more castor oil straight on my hair :nono: It makes my hair so greasy! I think I'll just incorporate it into my prepoos (w/conditioner), maybe my DCs too...I have a whole bottle I need to get rid of :ohwell: I may stop heavy sealing w/Dax too...I'm not sure yet. My ends look really nice, but I think sometimes it sticks my hair together when I bun...and I think it prevents me from re-moisturizing the next day...I'm just not sure. I'll go a few days without it and see how it goes.

On the plus side, I have soooooo much new growth :lick: (not from castor oil, just from stretching). It is getting a little drier though. I will need to pull out my spray bottle and moisturize directly. Today I'm rocking the beanie & some hoop earrings until things get sorted out on my head!
 
My hair isn't growing fast enough for me. Just ordered some viviscal, plus finishing up the box i stopped taking.

My hair needs to grow faster.
 
I am really loving these Lilla Rose flexi clips. I put my hair so easily in a bun that I can sleep with comfortably. I am going to get more of the extra large and some of the hair pins. Love, love, love them.
 
Ok 2 days of "omg your going natural, your hair looks so cute" is enough. Back to wigging until the 19th. My relaxer better get ready for me cause idk how Ima get through this hair without detangling everyday.

I feel like ima lose alot of hair relaxer day. I'm not naturally gentle on my hair, I have to practice detangling my hair. The wig is gonna cut down on my practice time. Oh well
 
I really can't go beyond ten days without washing my hair. I attempted to go for two to three weeks but I just can't do it because my scalp itches horribly. Made a scalp oil of 1oz castor oil, 1oz jojoba oil, 2oz almond oil, and 4 drops of tea tree. My scalp feels so calm and soothed right now after a really good massage.
 
I detangled with my usual but this time used my SAA powder mixed with water in my spray bottle

Woke up this morning my hair is sooooooooo soft and silky

Next wash i'm doing a garlic treatment. Can't wait to whip up another batch of shea butter creme with my citrus EO's :lick: now that its cold i'm going through that stuff like crazy :spinning:
 
My hair was feeling so bad. It was breaking everywhere, dry, just pathetic. I haven't cried about my hair in like 2 years, but I damn near cried last week. So since then I've been cowashing daily w/ Suave Shea & Almond condish, leaving a little in plus Shea Moisture curl smoothie and sealing with either Shea oil or Sunflower seed oil. Wrap in a towel for 5 minutes and then use a blowdryer on low to dry my scalp. Then just pin it up and go. I did it to give my hair a break and try to get some moisture in.. this morning when I cowashed, my hair felt like it had TOTALLY turned around, and this is after only a week. And I have been getting SO many compliments on my curls.

I'm thinking of doing it for the entire month of December to see what kind of retention and recovery I get. Will likely rollerset for Xmas or do curlformers.
 
Went ahead and rollerset my hair all the way forreal. Set it on small rollers. Then laid it down while I was on my vanpool sleep. Then styled it at work after putting on my makeup. I got some hair on the side and eveerything is laying down pretty nicely.
 
Been wearing my hair curly for a week now. I have been straightening my hair so long that I forgot how much love my big hair LOL

I might straighten my hair this weekend.

I'm giving up the protective styling for the winter... :nono:

I'm doing less of a job taking care of my hair in twists than I do when it is out. So back to out I go...plus, I'm tired of the synthetic smell of this Marley braid hair. :nono:
 
^^^:grin: Thanks girly! It feels kinda throwback/soulful. I'm just tired of wearing the same bob I think; can't wait until I can really get into a bun or something.
 
Just used curl junkie deep fix used half the tub on my first use -___-

I cut 1 inch - 3 inches throughout my head today! I just got so tired of this one area that was broken and shorter. It started to grow back but needed 1 more good trim (3 inch section on the side) so I cut it.

3 inches off the side and 2 inches in the back and about 1 inch in the front to blend bangs into the side.

I LOVE IT!!! :) Having my hair this length keeps it off my shoulders and will allow me to wear my hair out.

I'm tired of up do's
 
Took some progress pics today. As usual, I hate my ends. I wonder when my ends will look gorgeous like the ones I see in pics here.

My growth aids going forward will be megatek , green magic sulfur cream, and viviscal
 
I am soooo excited! my hair may be short-ish now but I am going to be 110% ready to grow it back better than ever in 2013:yep:
 
Sheesh, this weave/wig/closure stuff is confusing...so many options, full install with a closure, with a lace frontal, 3/4 wig with a closure...

I just want to be able to not touch my hair for a few weeks at a time, not have to take off everyday and that I can put up in a ponytail/ off my face, with little/no leave out.

Now that I've typed that out, it sounds like a really tall order lol.
