I've been watching your hair for awhile now and your hair is simply amazing. The health and sheen of your hair is awesome. I just want to say ,we always look at the grass elsewhere but chile, your grass is prime real estate.

I should have been WL by now, I cant hit BSL to save a toe. I like my Wng too much and my hair does not like to be manipulated like that, so it is what it is.

I am to the point where, I just want to enjoy it and stop fretting. As long as it continue to grow, Imma keep watering it.

shawnyblazes thank you for the compliment! I had just straightend my hair and it is not as full as i want it to be so it got me kinda sad about my hair. I think im just going to wear it curly for a while and not worry about length.
 
My bf broke up with m on sunday. ....so I'm big chopping this weekend. I'll have less than an inch of natural hair.

I kind of wish I didn't relax a month ago but whatever

Sorry to hear about the breakup, I hope you're doing okay. Perhaps you should give it a minute or two to let the new phase of your relationship status sink in before you BC. Treat yourself to a lovely DC or make it a total Spa day just for you.

I get that....but I realize that one of the biggest sour spots in our relationship was that he tried to dominate how I did my hair.

I would like to be natural and I need a fresh start. This would do both. Plus it would help ms create some distance from him while I try to move out.

I have to wash my hair tonight. I hate shampooing mid-week. But my hair is really dry and tangly and I need to clarify it. And I don't think I can stretch til the weekend. :( So 2 hours of my life are about to disappear.

Edit:

I'm finally done. I rushed so it "only" took me 1.5 hours. Oh well, it's over.

Still doing mom's hair. About halfway done!!!

Now... I think I need to figure out which hair products in going to take on vacation with me!

Hair is lookin like Felicia right now, but this braid out will [hopefully] be poppin!
 
I know many here won't agree with this but don't ever ask a boyfriend about your hair again. I've never met one that cared enough either way. I'm not blaming you, but the moment you asked what he thought you gave him too much power.

i gave him too much power in a lot of areas. believe me, i should have listened to EVERYONE about that. i have learned my lesson.

so yes, i'm gonna chop this week, either tomorrow or saturday, and just go about my life. i'm moving out on saturday and i am taking steps to buy my first home this year, something i never even CONSIDERED while dating him, because it was all about him.

kind of depressing to be single at 26 but whatever! i'm looking forward to my new HHJ.

I agree whole heartedly .

Sorry you are hurting naija24 but congrats on your freedom and independence from a controlling man.

You been talking about chopping and waffling due to someone else's input. Now its time to do you and get her done!

As for that pic, idk what with shrinkage and all. Maybe under six weeks from a fade given an average growth rate?
 
FINALLY DID IT OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone at the salon stared at me in awe. It was weird but almost more empowering. I still have to live with my ex for the next few days so I have to admit I'm kind of nervous how he will take it but like one of my gfs told me...caring about his opinion is a habit and go away eventually. Personally I like it. Still fresh to get used to after two years but it feels so familiar which is awesome!

Here I am at 20 for comparison!! Straight out of college!!

Congrats girlie naija24 I know you've been wanting this for a while. I'm not sorry to hear about your breakup :lol: he was a super loser. Find you a strong man who appreciates you girl.

Now stop flip flopping and stick to being natural!
 
I need to redo this wash and go :sad: I slept on it wet last night, it wasn't fully dry this morning and of course I had to go messing with it smh. So it turned into a frizzy mess in the back. Probably would've been ok had I used gel last night but I didn't so now I have to redo it or bun it tomorrow.

I just used my new Ouidad Superfruit Cleansing Shampoo for the first time and I really liked it. Now when it's gone I'll have to decide whether to repurchase this or the ORS Creamy Aloe. :ohwell:

I just realized I've been protective styling for the past two weeks. I had my hair in eight braids and wore a hat when I left the house. I was being so lazy. I wish I could figure out how to do this and NOT feel lazy.

That's easy - just tell yourself you're protective styling!
