I got a denman brush! Hoping to use it when I DC my hair on friday. Excited to see if I can start brushing my hair with it without interrupting the curl pattern too much. I have been finger combing since my BC and I am starting to get SSK's and weird tangles since it is getting longer.

Please don't use the denman.

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

Please don't use the denman. It caused so many setbacks on here, me included.

It caused the dreaded midshaft splits!

I've been wearing so many "out" styles lately. It's fun but I keep catching myself with a stiff neck trying to limit friction on my shirts and car seat lol. I need to break that habit and just be free
 
As much as I LOVE the look of box braids, I have to accept the reality that my hair HATES braids & anything with synthetic braiding hair.

Box braids, cornrows..Senegalese twists anything constricted.
I always get some breakage near the roots with braided styles.

In order to not fight with my hair, I will not be getting braids any more..
 
i need to get back motivated. I'm not neglecting my hair or anything (at least i don't think i am) but I'm just not hair obsessed right now & i haven't been since early September. It may not be a totally terrible thing tho. I'm already 6 weeks post & i had no idea. I really thought i was like 2 or 3 lol.
 
decided id try a wash and go regimen...well, i condition my hair at night, moisturize & baggy/ghe over night, the just gently fluff in the morning. no gel, no shaking my head around...my hair is short, so i think i can get away with it...for at least a while...dont plan on making it a forever thing. my longer natural hair cant do loose.

Its only one line. I LOVE the embelleze novex products. They arent well known but they work miracles in my hair
.
The shampoo ,conditioner, leave ins and especially the DCs give me great smelling silky smooth hair.

I just bought the olive oil dc and i think i might not do keratin treatments any more. My hair is LAID.

I keep raving about their products for about a year now and im just thinking why am i still a pj when i found a line that works so well?! So i am going to transition out my stash until its all novex products.
 
I realized the same amount of products I use,when it's below 20 degrees,is the same amount I use when it's 95+ degrees....Amount of layering.

Happy Hair Growing!
 
Today I just picked up a small 4 oz of Not Your Mother's Kinky Moves Curl Defining Creme. I needed something to give hold and definition to tomorrow's bantu knot out, and it was only about $5 at Walmart, so I said why not :) I was tempted to try the AO GBP & Honeysuckle Rose conditioners I saw at Whole Foods, but I need to use more of my own stash first.
 
Ahhh we actually got a little snow today! My hair is not prepared for this weather change yet :nono: I need more butters and cleansing conditioners
 
I just finished watching the youtube vid Naptural85 shared on facebook.

Wow!

Got me crying and feeling guilty about how I've kinda given up on my hair and how I'm not grateful enough for what I have. That video right there just got me :sad:.
 
I can finally say that I'm skimming Shoulder Length. So happy.

I'm so hungry for Arm Pit Length though. After that, I'm done. I don't know how you ladies deal with BSL hair. Doesn't it get in the way?? :O
 
My hair is soooo dark. :lol: Thanks outspokenwallflower for your help regarding demis. I used Redken Onyx. I might try it with a blue kicker next time. Looks like i might have to get my wigs in #1 for a while..lord its black :lol:


Ordered and received Kanechom Shea butter today. Cant wait to use it on Sunday. Hope I like it!
 
I got braids last night. I thought I was going to need an aspirin to sleep but I woke up ok. They feel snug and not so tight now. I am concerned about walking around with a wet head now that the weather is colder and the only thing I will be using is a braid spray. I won't go anywhere on wash days. They were too long so I cut several inches off the ends. I have to figure out how to curl them using hot water. I wanted natural hair but I was not going to pay $69 for a packet when I paid $5.99 for synthetic. I need to figure out where to get cheap human hair for braiding. This natural stuff is for the birds but this buys me some time. I will keep them in for at least a month.
 
FelaShrine It's a black shade that doesn't play! Blue kicker adds a pretty blue sheen to it, but it darkens the base even more, if that's even possible lol.

I'm also trying (and I like) Goldwell Colorance in Blue Black. It's not as BLACK as Redken, or as shiny, but still a rich blue black who's blue tones visibly stand out.
 
So now that i'm MBL i realized it takes me an average of 7-8 months to achieve a new length. I'm totally ok with that :) :yep:
 
so...i think i like this hair chemist macadamia oil masque.. will use it a few more times before i make a real decision. havent used it on completely clarified hair yet, so that will be the next test.

it feels good to be excited about and taking care of my hair again. i really need to be more consistent with it. im so off and on. its ridiculous.
