Yes getting rid of gels was one of the best things for my hair.

I used to love gel because that is how i first learned i actually had a curl pattern. Gel makes my hair look flat and/or stringy. It also dries crunchy or stiff and i need to shampoo or it will clump up with my leaveins. Even regular aloe gel sucks on my hair.
 
If she quotes me $250 for these faux locs, then they shall not be in my head.

I'll see how much she charges for kinky twists whenever she replies back.

9 weeks in, thats roughly $27-$28 a week.

My hair for this last install was $90 for two bundles and then for her to sew it in was, $80 plus a $10 tip.

Hm... so $20 a week.
 
Thinking maybe I need to start texlaxing instead if bone straight. Fine hair is extremely fragile and STILL trying to figure out how to get to APL!!! Getting frustrated....I tried almost everything in this board and still at a loss... My hair is longer but Dang... Can I just get to full APL with more density please!
 
Although I use a fair bit of protein I don't think I use strong enough protein on my ends.
I used a vital of matrix cera repair last night....I don't know why it's been over a year since I last used it:nono: I love this stuff!
 
Deep conditioning with B.A.S.K. whiskey reparative treatment. This soft bonnet dryer attachment is everything right now :drool:

One of the caucasian ladies at work was admiring another ladies thick, shiny ponytail and putting her own hair down. I said, "why don't you grow your hair out?" She says "I've been trying for a year and all I have is this." She pulls her scrub hat off and had this blonde, wispy, dry neck-length hair, pulled into an anemic ponytail.
I was speechless.
I really wanted to give her a few pearls of wisdom, but refrained because I was shocked and I don't want anything that I say to be misconstrued as medical advice (I'm a physician, so I COULD give her medical advice, but I make it a point not to do that in a non-urgent case if you aren't my patient....ya know, lawsuits and all that jazz).

I need to find a nice way to tell her to go see her doctor. That wasn't normal at all. I have two bottles of hairfinity that I can't use (the biotin broke me out something crazy, even with me drinking a ton of water), but I'm hesitant to pass those along.

Jeesh. I haven't see hair looking that bad in a non-cancer patient in awhile.

Omg, I just had a similar conversation with two white co-workers last week. One of them complained that she cannot get her hair past its current length, a wispy, thin, damaged apl. The other one pulled out a weaveologist that does fusions, because she told her that it probably will not grow much longer than it currently was. She stated that she has tried everything, and was so bummed that she cannot see progress. I slowly interjected and we got to talking about dc's. Her daily flat iron use does not help wither, bleh.
 
I've just realized that lately I've been wearing my hair the same way my mom used to do my hair when I was in elementary school. Back then I was so anxious to be a big girl and wear my hair out, but it looks so much better put away. Why do moms always know best?
 
I want box braids but not the heavy neck that goes with them lol.
 
Thinking... I need to try out atlien11's bonnet dryer

...&& I need to stop being so lazy and get this wash day going!
 
I really hope I have growth like PashTash on Youtube or many of the other ladies there after 18 months post BC. I will smack myself if I still have a TWA in one year :/
 
Retightened my Boo's locs and latched mine as well. I wasn't sure if I could do my own but it wasn't hard at all. I don't know how much they charge to retouch locs (latching) in my area but it felt good to be able to do it myself and save the money. I know most of the locticians charge $45-75 or more for palm rolling so I know latching definitely costs more.

I have such a hard time keeping a weave in. I always want to touch and play with my hair, smh. I think my hair is sooo much prettier than any weave too :look: but with these fine strands, it's not good to be showing it off all the time, unfortunately. :nono:
When I don't have weave though, I want one! I'm never satisfied. (I think that will change once I'm at least WL..lol well I hope) I completed a month of having this weave today and I could have sworn that at least a month and a half had gone by! :perplexed One more month and I'm outtie..
 
I love the look of these Senegalese twists but I'm soooo ready to snatch them out. They r hot and effin annoying! I hate feeling the weight of them on me when I'm hot. If I get braids/twists again I will get twists that are a shorter style. This has been a true annoyance to deal with ... Especially in the summertime.

This. I feel the same way, cause the 8 oz products don't last a very long time and I find myself having to reup.

My products are quite expensive, so I buy nothing less than a liter. It's cheaper in the long run.
 
're installed crochets. Really like this hair but miss mines already. She is growing so well though in deep PS mode plus taking vitamins is giving her a booster. Wanna keep as much of that growth as possible. Im usually a slooooow grower.
 
New goal of 100% natural WL in 2016. Kinda ridiculous to set a goal so far in advance but what the heck :look:

Going to try a new vitamin reggie for the next 90 days...Im a little worried about the amount of biotin (3mg = 1000%) but im going to start with 1 pill a night for the first week or two and then split the dosage to two pills (one in am/pm).

Pairing this with Silica and my multi-vitamin.

I dont measure progress i just take the pills til the bottle is gone :look:. Silica has given awesome results so i think thats a keeper. This product actually has Keratin and Reservatol (remember that muscadine grape fad for a youthful appearance?). No crap or extra stuff in this either but geez its not cheap.

Been using an old toothbrush on my edges to moisturize and seal them. I'm liking it to far. I need my breakage on my hairline to be gone!
 
I tried a flat twist out. Haha that was a failure but it did actually stretch out my hair very well. Managed to get my hair into two buns. This style may be a bit childish but I'm only 20 so I think I can get away with it, just.
