I am so glad! You are halfway there!

What are you going to buy yourself as a reward when you are done?

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

I can not believe it is finally time to take my NCLEX. Im super excited to become a nurse but super nervous to be taking the test on Tuesday.

Hummm...I need to pick up some pine tar to make a scalp concoction with aloe vera black castor oil:)

Yep that is an awesome way to relax.

Good luck on the NCLEX. I was a nervous wreck when I took mine 2 years ago.
 
Hair is coming along.
I do need some advice though.
Last year someone did a sew in that I had to take down bc it was too tight. So tight that there is a half an inch spot at the top of my head where its bald and hasnt grown back. Its very slick in that spot.

Is there anything I can try to get that spot to fill in or is it a loss cause bc its been almost a year and no growth there?

I am also going to try to focus on getting thicker edges as well.. any ideas on edges as well?
 
Eeewww!! Im in the Egyptian hair salon waiting for my mother. All you can smell is burnt hair and chemicals. I haven't stepped foot in a salon in over a year and at this rate...I dont plan to. All they doin is burnin these people hair up.

I have a texture softener but I self relax and Im currently on a no heat challenge.

ETA: Im watchin the blow dry guy put that heat concentrator straight up against this lady's hair, all the way to the ends and several times on one piece of hair!! And not to mention twirling that round brush!! OMG!!

I'm convinced that whenever I get ready to install braid/twist extensions that my head literally grows to spite me. There is no other feasible explanation as to why it takes so long smh !
 
My hair is so happy rght now. I just washed/conditioned with my Nioxin goodies then used a keratin conditioner. I mixed some black Manic Panic dye into both conditioners and then sprayed my hair with a little glycerin before I dried it. My hair is so shiny and soft right now.
 
I don't know how some folks go MONTHS w/o washing their hair while in braids. Doesn't their scalp itch? Doesn't their hair stink? :perplexed

Have you tried JBCO? Jamaican black castor oil is great for filling in edges and bald spots. It has so many uses.

:lachen:! Totally mind boggling, but people swear their hair doesn't stink. If I'm asking when the last time you washed your hair was & offering tips on how to do it with your extensions in, you're head probably isn't as fresh as you think. :hardslap:
 
I just cowashed my hair and I'm now DCing with a deep conditioner + olive oil treatment. I am going to straighten it because I haven't worn my hair out since June 19th and I miss it. It's supposed to be 91 tomorrow so lets see if this lasts more than 24 hours :'-( womp

LOL! Those folks have become acclimated to their own funk lol. This myth that you don't have to wash your hair when it's braided needs to die!

Me neither. I tried to be slick and go 2 wks before washing and my scalp was itching like crazy! And I caught a whiff of my hair? Them braids got washed today lol.
 
i recently discovered that my hair like to be sealed with heavy oils or butters even vaseline. Light oils like olive and coconut make my hair feel dry. I sealed with vaseline and it felt great
 
It maybe time for a protein treatment. I have noticed an increase in short hair pieces when detangling and I don't want breakage to eat up what little I have managed to retain! Maybe Joico K-Pak will do some good. I need to take a trip to Ulta anyway. ;)
 
Idk what made my leave out hard, crunchy and dry. My hair never felt like that before.. maybe it was the Aussie hair insurance.

Finished my 18 inch wig and I don't like it. Definitely gotta put some curls in it or something to give it some more body. The hair reaches hip length on me -- which I've decided is my goal length :lick:

I bought some awhile back but I never used it consistently. I'm going to use it now. Do I need to mix it with anything else?
