Yes naija24, disable comments. Only people who are small and insignificant feel the need to knock others down in order to feel tall. Happy people do not make others miserable. So whoever is picking on you has issues, not you. Shake 'em off and keep doing you.

You are not ugly. (What in the Amanda Bynes crazy talk is that? Like really...what mature human throws about statements like that? We in high school?) The One whose wisdom and knowledge surpasses all made you and He saw what He had made and it was good. So whose opinion will you take to heart?

You have to be doing something right otherwise a coward who hides behind a mask of Anonymous would not be investing time and effort to pick on you. Here is some advice from Kat Williams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxxPLDZnqwA
 
Can't wait for Saturday to do my hair :) I always feel that way throughout the day and then on wash day it doesn't go the way i want. I expect to much though. I know when you wash you suppose to have a few shed hair even minor breakage from manipulation, but I be wanting to see like under ten and if it appears more, even twenty I'm pissed off smh
 
I'm going to try a new method this wash day, I'm going to detangle first with my fingers with it slightly damp and lightly comb through like I did today, had like five hairs in my comb and I'm not going to comb in shower under water again, I knew I felt a little funny about it but I was addicted to the fact that detangling out the shower was cut in half. When I detangled under water the comb goes right through but because the water is running through i don't see the hair actually combing out in my comb, once I caught hair going down the drain and freaked out and said i won't do it again but did again anyways, like I said addicted to the easy detangle after i get out. But going to put shirt on head for like 15 minutes to absorb water and then apply leave in and etc and then detangle fully, I hope this works out or under the water it is ....
 
Lilmama1011, if only 5 hairs come out when you comb your hair, your detangling needs improvement. I NEVER have tangles but that is because I remove more than five hairs when I detangle a single skinny twist after a while of not bothering my hair. I expect 700 hairs to drop out if I comb my hair once a week and 100 hairs if I comb it daily. Anything less means I am leaving disgusting shed hair in my strands.

Y'all act like shedding hair is abnormal. Not losing up to 100 hairs per day is what IS abnormal. It is an essential part of hair growth.
 
I cowashed with Hair One for the first time in ages. I can't get over how soft it makes my hair. I used a cream leave in and serum for the first time for my twistout and I like it alot.
 
No more buns for me after this week. Two weeks was enough manipulation to drive me insane! Gonna try something different. Maybe a pinned up braidout or pincurls pinned up for the next 2 weeks. I don't know how I'm going to sleep on that & wake up w/ my hair still looking fresh w/o having to recreate the style every morning. I'm trying to stay out of my hair weeks at a time as if I was wearing my wig. Sigh.... I'm starting to think I allowed my wig wearing to handicap my styling capabilities. LOL!
 
Gained another milestone yesterday,Im 12 weeks and was able to wash my hair and not experience a tangled matted disaster woot woot! Im so happy....on top of that Im wearing my hair on at work for the 1st time since starting my hj...Im just breaking thru all types of boundaries LoL!

hnntrr, are you in braids or something?

Personally, I think it feels best when you're in the position you're in, cuz next time you do a length check, relaxed or stretched, the growth is more fulfilling i think.

pre_medicalrulzHave you tried a donut bun? That's what I'm doing this week. It requires no combing, just smoothing the "outside" layer of your hair with a brush or wet hands to make it neat. Otherwise your hair just goes around the shape of the donut so no manip required

So you don't release the tension of your buns when you come home from work to give your hair strands a rest?

Ha! Probably. I can see how wigs could make a person lay if they use them long enough. It is working for you, but it seems like you want to start experimenting with different styles.

When I do my twist outs, I don't have to retwist them daily. Maybe every other day, but I can usually go a couple days. If you twist them tight enough they can hold. I normally do the LCO method when I do my twist out (spray bottle of water, moisturizer and oil), twist them tight enough that they don't unravel, then hold them in place with perm rods overnight. They become tight enough that I don't have to manipulate daily. And I always take the do down at night.

You also got me thinking about doing wigs in the winter and leaving my hair to scurl and braids underneath. You've really got me rethinking this mission!

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together

Nah, I am under a wig so its all mushed. It does look a lot longer than it did when I first cut it though.

I think I might have about an inch inch and a half of completely ng? Doesn't seem like it though cause I have so much heat damaged hair.
 
Just finished washing, roller setting and wrapping my hair. I really didn't feel like it and my hair actually looked great today even though it rained. But I can't go for more than 5 days without a wash. I would have skipped the midweek wash if i had washed it Sunday which is my usual must wash day....on a different note I'm liking how this Kerastase Resistance Force Architecte line makes my hair feel, look and behave ...doesn't turn into an Afro when it rains like it did today... and feel my hair feels and looks like it is getting THICKER (and stronger) ....AND my ends still look freshly cut from my last trim... I won't need a trim any time soon.....No trim = more retention! :grin:
 
Tried doing a twistout again today #epic fail lol.
I guess i cant have everything haha
I don't feel so defeated cuz today is a rainy day,so whatever....

Protective styling with yarn twists for the first time. 9 hours later and I'm still not done. I focused on the perimeter so I could still go out the house. Wish I had done each twist w/ 2 strings of yarn instead of 3 because its already too thick to put in a proper bun! I'll do the rest with 2 strands and may gradually convert the 3 strand twists to 2.
 
Still trying to figure out how to achieve shiny thick strands and i'm at a loss. Maybe i should consider rinsing my hair black.
 
Soooo, who else has ever sat in front of a FAN to assist with "air drying" your hair? LOL. I put my hair in plaits to stretch my hair before I curl wand it, but its been taking for evvvver to dry. So I took down the plaits and am now sitting in front of the fan lol. Desperate times call for desperate measures! Annnnnnd Done! In under ten minutes:) #newmethod

NGraceO I saw on JustGrowAlready.com that using a cotton tshirt is a quick way to soak up excess water when airdrying your hair.
 
Wedding is less than a month away and I don't have enough new growth the justify getting a touch up, especially when I plan to wear clip ins. I think I'll be 7 or 8 weeks post by then.

Maybe I should just relax the edges.
 
I'm sick of hiding my hair....I want to wear my hair out!
I wonder if I could still use my cassia from the 2011 harvest.
