It took me a while to figure out why that happened... even still, I'm like... why vote now? It's probably not even the same group that was here when it started

I picked up this from Sally' s today. They have the liter for 8.99 and I had a $5 coupon and paid $4.30 for it! Hopefully it will be good

This year's hair goal:

 

[SlimPickinz]

Ordered a hair therapy heat wrap. Hopefully I'll start DCing for longer than 10 minutes. I also want highlights for the summer. Any NYC ladies have any recommendations for an affordable colorist, that would be greatly appreciated!

Every time someone post pictures of their hair and they lean to capture the back or sides, I think about this lady-boy. My baby was leaning his head yesterday looking at TV and I thought about it again. lol

Going to try this for the summer. This is a great way to style after swimming and you go to wash your hair, style real quick and head out the door

It's from an episode of that Scared Straight show.

But you know everybody had to make their own version. My favorite is the one with Cookie Monster. lol

Does anyone "treat" their hair before they go swimming?

I remember an old stylist used to tell me to put conditioner in my hair before I went swimming.

I put conditioner on prior to my swim class. I've been using SM coconut
& hibiscus conditioner lately. I swim at least 2 times a week. I use suave clarifying conditioner afterwards. I also deep condition on days I swim. Hope this helps.

I'm thinking about flat ironing my hair. Partly for a proper length check, partly because I'm slightly bored of wavy hair (it's the only way I've worked out how to dry and style my hair with no heat!). But on the other hand, not using heat is my one major win so far - I'm still trying to find products and techniques that work, but I have cut out heat! So I think I'll feel like I've failed in some way if I flat iron just for the sake of it...

Why the heck did I decide to do WHIP length Senegalese Twists, knowing it takes forever and a day? I have gotten compliments and even suggestions that I should go to cosmetology school. I really wish I could, but A) I have back problems that prevent me from standing or sitting for extended periods of time and B) I still have student loans from Everest (don't ask lol). What to do?

I hope there isn't a "hair guru" out there with a head full of fake hair making people believe it's theirs...I'm pretty good at spotting fake hair but people are getting better and better... I would've never been able to spot this:

There is. Can't remember the yt name but she has natural weave. Her hair stays changing texture and length, she stays doing videos about growth etc lol.

That isn't hers?? Oddly enough I'm more drawn to the color then her hair.

The thickness would have been my only clue.

What's a good protein free gel to make the hair sleek? I'm using ecostyler without issues but notice it has hydrolyzed wheat pro. I don't want any issues.

For me, the Xtreme Wet Line Gel outperforms the Krystal Ecostyler, my previous favorite. It's also protein free.

Ampro Pro Styl Argan Oil Styling Gel. Very flexible hold, not crunchy at all. Thick consistency and smells nice. divachyk

I'm tired of how hair dew smells in my hair so I'm on the search for a more subtle smelling moisturizer. I switched to SM curl enhancing smoothie for a while but that doesn't smell good either in my hair and it just coats the strands. I bought samples of the oyin juices to try but moisture sprays usually dry out my hair so I don't have high hopes.

I'm missing the way that the humidity in Hawaii had my hair feeling. I literally did nothing special to it and it felt so lush the entire time. I had to do a DC within hours of getting back to Texas to get that same feeling (the dry air sucked the moisture right out of my hair and skin!).

Humidity makes my hair dry as a bone! It's weird. I'm dreading summer because of it. I gotta master these Havana twists cuz I just can't deal with my loose hair all summer.

Have you ever tried Annabelle's Perfect Blends? She has tons of scent options and her products are nice.
