Incorporate some protein in there and follow up with a good deep moisturizing conditioner so it can be strengthened for the twists

Lilmama1011 Thanks for the advice! I used Silk Dreams Mocha Silk Infusion followed by Silk Dreams Razzberry Coconut Affair last weekend and I will be washing and setting my hair two more times before getting the Senegalese Twists. My plan is to use Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk Cream Moisture Dream this upcoming weekend. Then, for the final wash before the twists, use Komaza Care Protein Hair Strengthener followed by a protein free moisturizing deep conditioner. I'm having a hard time choosing which protein free moisturizing deep conditioner to use because I feel like it's my last chance to deeply infuse moisture into my hair. :perplexed

I'm glad I decided to put myself on a three month no heat challenge. I'm only a week in and I'm really starting to enjoy my hair in its natural state. It's so full and big, it's fun to make buns. I'm starting to like the way my braid outs look better on my natural hair than they did when they were relaxed. I can't wait to see how much length I've retained come August.
 
I am so Happy I decided to go back to detangling under running water with conditioner in my hair. It makes wash days so much easier. I thought I was ripping out my hair since it was soaking wet and I was combing it but I wasn't. I'm only losing shedded hair and I don't have to struggle detaching on damp naked hair before applying my dc
 
August can;t come soon enough. I cannot wait to see how much NG i will get with this stretch and the 2 new vitamins i've added.
 
My bf moisturized his hair with my KCKT and sealed with my marula oil this morning. :giggle: He kept asking me why my hair was so soft and I told him that's what I use every morning, so he tried it out. His hair felt hella soft, but it made his curls *pop* which he doesn't like (he prefers waves over curls), but he was feeling the softness. This tickled me.
 
Don't know why my scalp is perfectly fine all winter then the first onset of summer/heat it gets thirsty. I did a HOT with some EO and my scalp is in love.

Guess I will start using my humidifier and doing weekly HOT.
 
made my appointment for my sew in installation. I plan to get a closure this time because I dont' want to deal with heat at all during this sew in. Last time, I had a leave out and blending it with the weave was a real pain.

I hope to gain another inch or so by my birthday in August when I'll take this weave down. Going to 6 months post!
 
New to this relaxed thing again, hair has so many different textures and it keeps coming out to the touch. My natural hair was more resilient.
 
For some reason it's just now hitting me that it will take until Oct or Nov to grow back the 2.5-3 inches I cut off back in April. I didn't even take a picture of my length before I chopped it. :-(

AND I still have bonelaxed ends that need to go. I'm not sure I have the heart to do it this year.
 
I did my hair with the snap and go rollers (they are like soft flexible rods ) and ran out so I used two flexible rods. With just two flexible rods made my scalp sore and had me tossing and turning trying to get comfortable because I sleep on my side smh
 
My curls came out good. I don't know whether I should attempt to pineapple again or put a bonnet on and sleep like a princess
 
Can black women use the roundbrush blowdrying method to straighten hair and add a slight curl? I'm thinking about trying that while I'm growing out my pixie. :scratchch
 
Thinking of doing rollersets every wash day for the remainder of my transition. At 19 months post, keeping my NG stretched helps to make my hair a lot more manageable, reduces SSKs, and it is so much easier to keep moisturized. I do not use any heat on my NG after. I just style my hair with a bantu knot out, twist out or braid out. If I do, I will probably wash my hair every 10-14 days as opposed to once every 4-7 days.
 
Are folks really buying all these lace wigs on that Youtubers are reviewing? These multi-hundred dollar wigs simply are just not something I can see myself purchasing. If I did, it'd be one and done. That wig would have to be able to be my everything. Curly, straight, bang, leave hair out, no hair out. Many of the wigs are lovely; I'm just finding it difficult to believe that the wigs really are worth all that money.

So I fell in love with Shea moisture products and I took advantage of the sale. I let my friend who is raising 2 daughters who are natural in on the sale. Saturday he picked up the curl enhancing smoothie and the moisture mist for them and I got the soufle for them.

Please tell me why this fool called me yesterday talkin about.. " So um I fingered the smoothie and put it in my hair and my waves and curls were poppin."

LOL I was cracking up by then...well I went to youtube.. behold there is a whole culture of men using the smoothie and soufle and mist for 360 waves. Who knew ( hides products from Dh):look:

My latch hook is coming today! Gotta buy some hair over the weekend so I can try to do the crochet braids. I'm in serious need of a break from styling my hair.

I just dyed my hair with red food coloring. I shoulda thought of this sooner
Click to expand...

What's your original color? How much did you use? How long did you let it sit? Did it take? Describe your process exactly please? I'm exited too the possibilities are endless!!
 
My natural color is dark/medium brown, but I dyed it auburn in November. I was going to mix the red with conditioner and dc, but that would've taken too long so I just put a few drops of food coloring on each braid (celies) and massaged it in. Then I put a baggy on my head. Im still sitting here woth the baggy and turbie towel, but I can tell the color is vibrant. I don't plan on rinsing it out. Im getting a blowout next week, so the color will marinate until then. I used half the container of food coloring and I only colored the front half of my hair
 
I wish I could learn how to part my hair! Jeez my twists would last Sooo much longer.. I look like a fuzz ball.. Thank God for hats
 
I feel like if it's my money, I can buy what I want. Unless you're my Husband, don't worry about what I spend my money on. People can be so busybody and all up in your business.
 
I need to learn how to cornrow. Thanks Mom for dropping the ball on all 3 of your daughters. My hair is long enough to cornrow, if I knew how.
