I think it says a lot about your character when you can admit your faults. I definitely can.

I was going to flat iron my Italian Yaky unit to wear for my test tomorrow at the college, but it's big, it's kinky..I'm loving it..I do think I'm going to do a braid out to look like the picture below though. I hope it turns out the same.

Might retwist tonight and heavy seal. Wash day is Friday!

I think I might incorporate thicker sealants after moisturizing and sealing with an oil on wash days because it seems to give me a very subtle natural shine that seems more moisturized

That awkward moment when you realise you have a visible grey hair at the crown of your head when looking in the bathroom mirror at work at the end of the day after you've been walking round all day feeling like you're the **** with your braidout of fire 
That even more awkward moment when you're trying to remove it with your bare hands in the work bathroom and two co workers, one black and one white, are looking at you wondering what the heck you're doing...

Just took hair down and sprayed a couple of mists of the Shea moisture mist on the front two sections that are twisted and pinned down , took a little of the Hollywood cream and put some on my ends and put the rest on the two twist and other hair and sealed with Africa's best oil mixture and put scarf on. This protective style works for me

Officially 20 months post on Saturday. I cannot believe that I am almost 2 years post relaxer. I cannot wait to celebrate that transitioning milestone and do another mini chop. No plans to BC anytime soon. Just growing out my relaxer and trimming as I go. Currently at full MBL/grazing WL after last trim.

Thanks sis! Girl, I was celebrating every week up until about a year post. Once I passed a year, I started counting in months! I must say that I am shocked that my hair is actually coorperating. It really isn't as unmanagable as I have always been told it is. I hope your transition is going well!

Every time I go to Whole Foods, someone asks me for advice about their hair. Every.single.time. lol. I don't mind, I'm honest with them and tell them I'm still trying to figure out my own mane, and we end up striking up a long convo. I feel like I need business cards for every site and youtuber that has helped me learn.

I made 33 weeks post this past Friday. It is going well so far. Tension blow drying has helped significantly along with a few tweaks in the stash.
Otherwise, I'm just taking it one wash day at a time

Same thing happens when I go into the hair care section at Target. It usually happens when I'm on a lunch break. I can usually catch them looking from my peripheral vision. I don't even have to make eye contact before I hear, "Excuse me..."
I don't mind helping, but if I'm running errands I'm usually in a rush.

I don't know why I spend so much effort trying to wear my hair down. I look so much better with it up. And I always know what it's going to look like at the end of the day when I wear it up.

I feel like my hair is not growing anymore, I feel like I hit a plateau. It seems like I stopped at BSL and nothing else is happening. I bleached and colored my hair but my hair was not breaking and I’m taking good care of my hair. I feel like I’m going back to the inversion method, bamboo tea, and I will try to take some multi vitamins. I eat whole foods, exercise everyday so hopefully I’ll get to Mid back length in no time *crossing fingers*

I think olive oil made my hair really tangled. About to go wash it out. Weird

Straightened my hair on Saturday, but by Sunday night I was over having my hair straight. I think I'm getting to the point where I'm over straight hair. It's too hot and humid and my hair always catches on my clothes or other inanimate object. Anyways I rewet my hair and did a wash and go, using Cantu leave in, coconut oil hair grease, and curls gel. Really like how the grease made my wash and go look. I haven't used grease in years but will keep this in rotation.

Yes I've got a good hair day. Yesterday I rinsed with water, detangled with suave naturals coconut conditioner and sealed/styled with grease to bun it up for the day.
Today I misted it completely wet finger combed in sections and moisturized with Carol's Daughter lite hair milk. My fine hair is shiny, soft and my soul is glowing lol.

Summer where are you?
When you're reading reviews on amazon and it's clearly an LHCF member because she's using terms like LOC, chelating & clarifying.

It's hair cut day! Yay! I'm kinda nervous though. Not about it being short. I've done short relaxed hair. But never short natural hair.

Im really excited about going to the Natural Hair Show in New York on July 19 (even though i live in atlanta but i missed the show there bc i was in new york ).
But i watched a promo video and it looks...i dunno... a little too much like "battle of the textures" to me. Maybe too much shea butter and "I'm a natural hair nazi" for my taste. Even though i am now natural, I think I'm gonna go in my long flowing mermaid weave just to piss everybody off and not look like everyone else.
If i turn up missing, you know what happened
I could give a rip about the classes. Im going to check out all the products i can't get on the ground. I will be arriving onsite with an empty suitcase
