I was all set to take out my faux locs this weekend and even took off Monday from work to pamper my tresses. But yesterday I went out and got sooo many compliments and everyone saying that I shouldn't take them out just yet. I guess I will keep them for alittle bit longer.

I got some compliments from some loc sistas yesterday. They thought that they were my real locs:yep: I confused the cashier at the Wawa; who has real locs. She was saying how much she liked my locs and I told her that I was taking them out this weekend cause they were unraveling. The cashier looked so perplexed. The cashier responded that locs don't unravel. I std mines are unraveling and then I realized that she thinks that these locs are real. So I had to reveal my secret that they were faux locs:lol: . The cashier asked if I was thinking about getting locs. I told her yes and she std that I should cause I look nice with locs. This made me feel good, cause I thought my faux locs looked fake (if that makes sense). Like a real bad weave.

lulu97 how do you get the conditioner on all your roots if you don't do the relaxer method? I'm looking for a better way.

GettingKinky I wash my hair in 3 ponytail sections. Towel dry for about 5 mins to soak up most of the water. Take down each section one at a time, apply the DC with praying hands to the outside of the section as a whole, split it vertically then apply it again to the inside of the section, then twist into a bantu knot. The bantu knot helps to distribute the conditioner to any area I may have missed.
 
So I went from grazing APL at almost 4 years natural, to having an relaxer, and now I am natural again with less than an inch of natural hair. I am going to try Ovation Cell Therapy and sulfur oil and I am going to leave at that for growth aids. Relaxing was way too much for my strands. I thought it would be easier to deal with than my natural hair but it turned out to be a more of an headache and I was losing so much hair! So look like I will be natural for a long time or maybe even forever.
 
I normally never flat iron air dried hair but I feel lazy. Be interesting to see if I get the same (or better) flat iron results on air dried hair like I do with blown out hair. Kinda hope so because that'll make my flat iron wash days soooo much easier. Crossing fingers!

I apply in the shower on wet hair. I'm able to get it all over and use less product.

I see. You guys apply on wet hair. I dry DC before I wash, and my condish is very thick.
 
The relaxer itch is back, and I so didn't see it coming back at all or this soon :look:

I want to wear my hair straight all the time now and actually see length as it grows out. I am not feeling my natural hair right now :ohwell:

Take a deep breath and ask yourself if this really what you want or are you frustrated? Would a wig help? I'm here for you no matter what decision you make.

Awwww!! Thank you :huggle: I'm frustrated because I shouldn't have cut my dang hair in March. Growing it back sucks, and I want length desperately :lol:. I really do want straight hair though. When I first BC'd (and before I relaxed), I wanted to work on becoming a straight haired natural.

You're welcome! I feel you girl. I have been so hair lazy, I'm surprised I have any hair left. I bleached the top and sides...then 2 weeks later I relaxed it. My hair survived (praise Jesus, don't be like me), but it made me hop back on the hair growth train. I'm still sad for all the hair I lost too.

Braggs Apple cider vinegar is so much sweeter and complex than 1 dollar acv. The smell isn't as bad as the cheap stuff either.

s.n. I feel like I'm transitioning all over again from the heat damaged half of my natural hair ugh

Really? I never tried Braggs, just Heinz. And sorry about your hair :sad:
 
I think I'm going to get twists or braids at the end of the month. Sometimes I just don't have the time to do anything with it, then I have to go to work with it looking all poofy and just awful. :nono:
 
I had the best wash day yesterday follwed by the best hair ever today. I have to remember today on the days where I want to cut all my hair off.

Our hair is so resilient, thank goodness :lachen:. I don't know what Imma do yet, but I would feel like a clown to BC only to relax again 8 months later!!! :hammer:

Hair's still straight, and it's still kinda struggling!! :lol: I have so many damn layers!! :lol:
 
I was going to wear my protective style with the two sides twisted and the back ends tucked in with a clip, but my face broke out terribly because I was using these new facial products from school. It looked great for two days and then my cheeks started to itch. Then the left side hurted. I took two benadryl. But I will not be going to school looking like a raspberry. I'm thankful my curled hair will cover it. I swear my skin is getting so sensitive

Darling, you are allowed to change your mind anytime you want to. One thing I learned is, if something stops working for you, maybe it's time to try something different. Don't torture yourself.
 
Dc'd with the Moroccan Oil Intense Treatment and I am a little underwhelmed. It gave nice slip, but I did not feel a major difference in hydration.

My V05 conditioner gives about the same slip with the added moisture :look:.

I'll give it the benefit of the doubt...I did try it on dirty hair, maybe it works better on clean hair...but once my sample is finished I probably won't purchase the regular size. If they want up to $30 for a DC it had better work on my hair in any condition it's in :ohwell:
