Aw sorry to hear you're having a rough time with your hair. How long have you been natural? What exactly don't you like about your hair?
I find myself saving my best products for later, and using the average ones on a regular basis. But later never comes 
Everything in my stash is great and works for me (otherwise it wouldn't be in my stash!) but there are certain products that get me more excited than others. From now on I'm gonna use the best products more often. My hair deserves it

Same here! I got a whole drawer full of Silk Dreams and Marie Dean. What am I waiting for!

Starting to think I don't have the deligence, patience, tender touch to get to BSL and beyond. I've been itching for a change anyways, but I've been feeling even more after I came out of my weave. I trimmed by hair prior and I just feel so far away from my goal (I'm back to full APL).
I've been thinking of doing BC and going back natural, but I think I may go for a bob cut. Either way, I'm going to wait until I flat-iron again to see how I feel, which probably won't be until early July, after I get back from family vacation.

kandiekj100don't be discouraged... you had the patience to get to full APL which is a huge accomplishment. Now that your hair is well past the shoulder-rubbing stage it should be easier to retain length going forward. Stay focused

Thanks for your concern. Its very fine and it seems like the only way that I retain length is if I am hiding it in a sew in. I want my "swangin hurr"
back. Its so discouraging because I see people BC and then their hair grows back thicker and longer than mine in no time. Meanwhile, I look like a plucked chicken!

I've debated natural, but my relaxed/texlaxed hair is fine. ALL my hair is LP, so if its hard for me to deal with relaxed LP hair, why would I make my life even more difficult. I'm not saying "Come back to Crack" but if it wasn't killing you, your hair was healthy and its looked good, why change that?
Good luck with your decision!

I've also been debating whether flat ironing my hair is a good idea or not for an anniversary service at my church on Sunday. The only problem is, if I do it too soon it'll have more of a chance to puff out like mad before the event; if I wait too long my hair will be flat, pin-straight and unable to hold a nice curl.
Will the weather in your area be conducive to keeping your straight hair straight? Do you have a solid back up plan if reversion sets in before you celebrate?

My hair is so managable now that i use better products and have better tools. Back when i first went natural my hair was like a brillo pad and i hated the way my hair felt. Now i like my hair again.
my tune might change when my hair gets longer though! I'm even reconsidering the bkt life too...

Products with glycerin leave my hair soft and moisturized, but now it won't hold a twist out to save my life. I have a love/ hate relationship with that stuff.

I'm incorporating my castor & coconut oil mix back into my regimen, for my edges only. They don't look bad, but if I can thicken them a little during my long stretch, why not
Lacio Lacio is a godsend right now! I will use it to test the softness on a braidout this weekend. Next weekend, I will buy the magic star mini rake, a seamless comb that I've had my eyes on for awhile!

I trimmed my hair back to MBL. It still looks really long because it's the same length in the back and on the sides. I keep going back and forth between wearing my hair curly and keeping it shorter, or straightening more often to grow it longer.
When it's curly the ends knot and I have to keep trimming so I haven't gotten longer than WL, but the plus side is that my curly hair is very low maintenance.
My straight hair grows really fast (retains better), but to keep it straight I would have to rollerset or flat iron every 2-3 weeks, which is doable, but it's more work.
IDK what I want to do with my hair.

I LIKE HER HAIR TOO! Sorry for the caps, I thought no one else watched her, AlliCat.Tried moroccanoil serum and wasn't impressed...but modernmrshuxtable on youtube is really making me want to try their sulfate-free shampoo and the mask.
One day ill stop being a PJ
I really want to try these expensive masks but I swear the cheapies do the same job or better for me. I'm dying to try this stuff my hairdresser uses, have you heard of it? It's $50 though and it's still expensive at the BSSs in Scarborough. I can't justify all that money on a hair mask when AO HR is the business. http://www.sarynakeycanada.com/product-damage-repair-shea-butter-hair-mask

Aireen I've never tried that mask but I've seen it at trade secrets. Agreed that I can't justify spending that much on a mask. I've made that mistake ($40+ on a fekkai DC) and it's not worth the money, my little $6 DC's do just fine. But I'll treat myself once in a while. I really like the Macadamia natural oil mask

So mad that my postman didn't bother to see if I was home ( I was)..now I gotta make a trip to the post office to get my hair product.

I saw it on sale once for around $35 or so... still contemplating if I made the right decision not picking it up. I'm not sure if my hair loves shea butter but it's one of those old staples that people love and AO HR worked great for me.
Does the Macadamia Natural Oil have a lot of slip? Macadamia oil > Argan oil when it comes to my hair so I'm curious, AlliCat.
