That Demetria girl from Blood Sweat and Heels has some gorgeous hair. I am only washing the show to see her hair. Just freaking amazing. When is someone going to interview her about her regimen?

Usually when I moisturize my new growth, I either spray a leave in or just fluff through my roots with moisturizer. Today I moisturized deliberately by parting sections, spreading moisturizer between my fingers, and applying directly to the roots. I think I actually like moisturizing NG this way because I know my curls and my line of demarcation was tended to. It takes a little bit more time, but it's not as lengthy of an ordeal as I thought it would be. I'm experiencing a little breakage from the back of my head, so it was great to give it the direct attention it needs.

That definite helps. I used to do this a lot when I was transitioning and saw the benefits of it.
 
Where was I all this time for not using TREsemmé naturals? My hair loves it so much I feel like I might need to get myself 3-4 other bottles...
 
Felt good getting rid of random product samples that have no purpose in my regi. They were old and probably way past their shelf life anyway.
 
Taking back that last post about moisturizing NG directly. My hair felt really good last night but I'm not fond of how it feels this morning. It is shiny and soft, but some of the strands are stuck together, and my roots are a little compacted & rigid. My hair actually feels a little more tangled then it did last night. Even though my hair doesn't feel greasy, I think I applied too much product and my strands are weighed down. I guess if I want to moisturize my new growth, the best way is to just cowash/DC or apply a spray leave-in conditioner.

Some people just do better with naked roots. I love to oil my scalp but there's something so refreshing and light about not having any product up there.
 
I looked at some of our features of the month that say that they have type 4 hair...Um, they might have type 4 hair, but I thought I DID and obviously if they do...I don't.

My hair must be 4c or 4z which is made up - because my hair looks like cotton wet, it doesn't have a curl, it's not long with spirals wet. It's short and kinky and soft.

I'm so confused as to why my hair doesn't look like other 4's....if someone wants to help me type my natural hair, please pm me or just send an @(username). It's a little distressing to realize I've been on here this long with the wrong hair type all this time. (sigh)
 
I was worried about my edges thinning from wearing wigs, so I bought some sulfur 8 and will be applying every other night. Anyone have any usage tips for sulfur 8?

i was happy this wash, i didn't detangle in the shower, i think i lost less hair, and the kera minerals did smooth my hair and im back to my curls, i love that i can get up and fluff and apply oils and be on my way

Why does hair type matter?

Did a pineapple on my hair last night and I was surprised my rollerset still looks good this morning. I'm going to do it again tonight hoping for the same results tomorrow.
 
If I can find a decent flat iron & blow drying brush for 4b hair, I'm going to blowout & straighten my hair for the 1st time this weekend since I BCed 2 years ago. I had my hair shaved at the barber's in February 2012 so it will be interesting to see it stretched for the 1st time.
 
Sealing my hair with cones has boosted my moisture levels. I wash, add leavein, add mango butter, then seal with some kind of hair polisher instead of regular oil. My hair stays moisturized for days!

I watched a youtube video yesterday about a three-strand twists. I guess I loved it. I had a dream last night about me twisting my hair with three strands. :look:
 
Just entertained the crazy idea of keeping my braids in as long as I can...like 4+ months and just length checking at the start of May. Crazy I know!!

But it's only been 3 weeks and I already feel like I have a good 1/3 of an inch in new growth, which is kind of cool. At least it looks that way. I'm not interested in neat braids. I am just looking for awesome new growth and retention.

Matting and loc'ing may occur if you leave the braids in too long. In my case past two months buildup and meshing started occurring at the roots. Try to be careful with that.

Soooo I think I do have a sensitivity to coconut oil after all which makes me sad because it is my favorite oil that I have been using since the beginning of my hair journey. I will have to try the other penetrating oils (avocado and olive oil) to see if they work similarly.

Also, I am super bored with my hair lately and want to do something drastic - haircut, color, or relaxer. Still I think of the end goal I want and it stops me in my tracks. I think out of the three I will eventually dye my hair jet black because I love dark black hair but the other two will not help me to reach lions mane of kinky coils that I so desire.

Oh and my hair is showing signs of retention! I am now in-between APL and BSL! So I haven't hit a new length marker in a long time but this is exciting.

My hair tail/nape is finally WL! I just checked in the shower :grin:

It's not enough to claim it, but I'm still happy. Now I just have to wait for the rest of my hair to catch up from BSB/BSL/MBL :lol:

Yes to Carrots!!! :thud: :drool: whyy did I wait so long to try it?? Perfection right out of the bottle! My hair is sooo picky when it comes to conditioners, I'm so pleasantly surprised. Smells so good, instantly softened my hair, all natural, great slip (even after using shampoo! my hair is its most tangled after shampooing). I'm geeking out right now :lol: I wanna try the shampoo now.

Currently DC'ing and enjoying my lovely day lol

It's a staple for me
 
Pressed my hair so I could wear pretty curls to an interview & not more than 24hrs after straightening it's in a bun.

Oh well, the process wasn't labor intensive this go round && I was able to do another deep trim; I think I've finally gotten rid of all the hair I battered a couple years ago.
