My roots are all reverted on the inside and the edges are reverted too.

My mother spontaneously had Carol's Daughter Monoi Shampoo and Conditioner sent to me from HSN after watching a demo on TV. I haven't purchased CD products in years (they never did much for me) but I'm pleasantly surprised. The sulfate-free shampoo left my hair clean but soft and not stripped and the conditioner, though it has no slip really gave me the medium protein it needed. Its not sometime you want to leave on very long.

I was having mushy hair and was going to purchase a protein treatment but I really don't have to now.
 
Thinking about getting a weave with a full closure... But I really don't know the first thing about taking care of it...

I need to research.

Like, how many bundles do I need for a full head? 2 and a closure? Just 2?

And why is hair so EXPENSIVE?! Can someone point me to a reputable hair vendor where I WONT pay a gratuitous amount of money per bundle?

I need to get up and do something with my haaaair. I'm snowed/iced in, and my hair feels very dry from the gel I used yesterday :( I was able to pick up some more of my boo thang yesterday (Worlds of Curls!) so I'm ready for soft, moisturized hair, again :D

Does anyone have any tips for washing hair in a shower that only stays hot for 5 mins? I am lo po and I need hot water to wash and rinse my hair by the time I get in the shower and detangle the water is freezing.

Im about to have to start heating water on the stove to wash my hair with.

Turn the water off when you don't need to rinse. Just wet, wash, then rinse.

You could also keep the water pressure down by not turning up the water all the way. It could buy you a few more minutes of heat.
 
I totally forgot about my Moringa Tree Conditioning Ghee from Qhemet Biologics. I put some on each section while putting my hair in big twists to dry yesterday. My hair dried so soft and sheeny. LOVE.
 
Safflower oil is about to replace my beloved EVOO and Grapeseed oils. I just restocked after running out almost a year ago. My hair is IN LOVE!
 
I must have a really small head or something :ohwell: because my bonnet from bonbons cheveux isn't tight at all like people have said. Snug, but not tight. I slept comfortably last night :lol:

LG green magic is the only growth aid that actually gives me little itchies. JBCO did a little when I first started using it but not like this stuff.
 
I have my sights set in a FHI Platform with 1 3/4 in plates that I would love to use to do my Dec length check (originally I decided to stay away from heat until WL, but I can't resist the urge to see my progress by ending the year with a good flat iron LC vs a stretching LC).

Any experiences with FHI ladies? Good and bad welcome. The world of flat irons is a daunting one for me.

I agree with turning off the water while not using it, because when I'm washing my hair, I wash up before so that prolongs the water and when I'm rinsing out my shampoo and putting my v05 in to comb through before deep conditioning the water is cold, and that is not the business
 
I need to stop neglecting my steamer. Sitting under the steamer now after my claywash and my deep conditioners are soaking right in.

Ive had this thing like almost 4 years though, it might be time for a new one.
 
I think my hair grows faster in its relaxer state. It sounds stupid as heck but if i break it down you'll get what i mean.

I know what you mean. I retain more length as a relaxed head than as a natural. Frustrating but a lesson learned. I'm planning to texlax because I value length over texture.
 
You're smart. Lilmama1011, more so because my hair is so much easier to handle and i don't have to struggle to massage my scalp while washing or oiling. M&S is a breeze and i'm loving my relaxed state now.

Holla girl, i know the feeling. I'm a length addict and i can't wait to get to MBL in 2014. Right now i am at a mere APL and i'm not even feeling it. Dec 28 can't come soon enough for me to weave her up for a couple months because BSL is a must next relaxer.

I'm gunning for 6 inches by May month end :look::look::yep:. Wish me luck.

Good luck! It'd take me well over a year to go from APL to BSL as a natural. I'm over it. I want LONG hair and natural is not getting me there fast enough.
 
i'm almost regretting going to get my hair pressed…the stylist cut too much off:nono::nono::nono::nono::nono: i was THIS CLOSEEEE to BSL and now i'm probably not going to see BSL until April next year…ughhhhh, i just hope that she got all the ends that needed to be gone because my hair is going under SERIOUS wraps for the next 6 months, i'm bout to start doing inversion, scalp massages, hair vitamins something to get back whatever she cut off smh
 
I need to learn how to do my own weaves with closures. That's the only thing I cannot do myself, sewing the tracks. Better believe at some point in my life I will do my weaves by myself and make it look very pretty. I don't like to depend on people to do things, I'd rather do a crappy thing by myself and put the blame on myself.
 
I'm scared to take out these Havana twists. Now I'm going to have to deal with the aftermath - dry and tangly hair. Really dry hair. I hope it doesn't all break off.
