I want to make coffee oil, but lazy beyond words. It is so expensive to buy.

A long but lazy way is to take whatever herbs you want to infuse and place them in a glass jar, pour heated oil into the jar, put the lid on tight and set it outside in the sun for a week or two or three, making sure to shake the jar every day. The longer you leave it, the stronger the oil gets.

I'm going to use this recipe to make fenugreek oil :

Why am I upset that Taren dyed her hair? LOL next video will be of her BCing again due to damage yet again. I unsubscribed when Shameless Maya cut her hair. I need to log off YouTube and get a life LOL

This has really been a great year for my hair. It started off on a rough patch with my hair literally looking rough and ugly, but now within the past couple months things have been really changing. I've been natural for either 7 or 8 years and I've really given my hair a beating when I got bored of it and did the keratin and highlights. I started the year with uncontrollable and consistent matting, shedding, breakage, frizziness, and my hair just being overall completely unreceptive to products. It would (on top of looking dumb) take almost the whole day to air dry my waist length cousin it-esque curls.

All of these issues are a thing of the past. I'm so excited and loving my hair all over again.

Taren lost me years ago. I was a fan of hers when she first began on youtube. She used to have healthy defined curls and then she started using her hair as a trendy accessory. Her hair ALWAYS looks dry to me even after her BC. Now it grew out and she went and dyed it blonde just to cut it off and come back with some more Sahara hair talking about how she "likes her hair that way"

And Shameless Maya had hair like myself so when she cut it I took it personal:lachen:
 
I wish I would have tried the Silicon Mix sooner. It's the best thing that has ever happened to my hair. I'm hoping that the leave-in is good too.
 
Went to Sallys today and bought a few more products. I bought a spray heat protectant, some mousse (for braidouts), some protein gel (although I'm wary of the smell :look:), a baby brush, a small bottle of moisturizing mist (for new growth), and Roux Moisture Treatment (to help close my porous cuticles). I think I may have one too many conditioners for my liking, but I am still testing them out and deciding which ones are staples in my new regimen. Either tonight or tomorrow morning, I will clarify my hair so that it's clean enough to which conditioners impress me the most. Can't wait to test everything out :yep:
 
WOW!!! My hair is thriving!!! I had to cut my hair to neck length a few months ago, now it's trying to creep to SL! GROW HAIR GROW!!!!
 
Really tempting to get sew-ins for the winter but its so expensize. I'm going to start saving up for a wig instead.

I love my puff. I can just put it in a pony tail puff thing and then just wear it three days in a row. and just refresh the curls in the morning. ahhh yes. low maintenance. Prolly gonna wear it out when I wash it on Wednesday.

I dunno, I wanted to transition for atleast two years but now I'm having very strong second thoughts. I'd rather just BC now at 9 months post then another year and a couple of months. I want to be able to grow with my hair rather than be lost as far as styling and products. Most of all I find myself thinking about a relaxer I feel mainly because I have two different textures. I'm just not into my hair like I used to be. Maybe natural hair is the change I need.
 
i wet set my mother's hair today and it turned out great! i dry dc'ed,shampooed,conditioned.Then added leave in, lottabody, chi silk infusion, and motions foam wrap. 1 hr under the dryer the hair was mostly dry except the back.So i combed it out, put more leave in and sprayed some oil sheen. Wrapped it back up and covered with a durag for her to sleep with. I feel like it will turn out nicely. its sooo much easier and faster that rollersetting
 
It's late but I just thought of a cute style I could probable rock for a few days. But I know it may take a minute and I'm too tired to do it. I should be in bed right now anyway...
 
I think it's so weird when someone describes their twistout as their "curls". A twist n'curl I can understand because your hair would actually be curly. But a plan ole twistout isn't curly. It's wavy, crimped :look:. People be trying to pull curls out wherever they can find them :lol:.

BOL!!!!! That's so messed up!
 
^^ when I do braid outs, I don't comb out my coils (type 4) so it is a mixture of waves, curls, coils. I am not sure if that is the same as a twist out as I have never done those.
 
I really want to get to MBL next year in December... I need to get my routine right, trim my ends by the end of this year and begin the new year with a fixed goal in mind. I know I can!

wheezy807 I feel you. I'll be 7 months post tomorrow and I currently have my hair flat ironed. Ideally, I'd like to go 15 months but idk.. at the same time, I don't want to rock a big chop. The two textures are a pain. I was thinking if I chop earlier than planned I'd want to wear a weave or braids/senegelese twists until my hair gains some more length. How have you been wearing your hair during your transition?
