Im thinking that instead of a mostly joico regimen i might use elasta qp instead
 
@makemild @divachyk Yall don't know how hard it was for me to get a shot of the back of my head, I'm a hair pic amateur lol.

I started to twist my hair around like I was going to make a bun, coiled it up then tucked the ends under the main coil of hair. No real rules to this, whatever looks/feels right for the length of your hair. I then stuck the prongs of the clip into the side of the coil in way that felt secure and comfortable. Pretty easy for me considering I'm usually bad at updos. Veteran bunners or those who use hair sticks can probably make up tons of cute styles with this thing.

@divachykyour buns and hair clips in your blog!!!!:notworthy:cry:

I know right? Then she has the nerve to make me show her my measly updo :lol:
 
Raspberry - I think you did an excellent job! :yep: You and Embrya are too much. My buns started out looking stank but the more I did them, the better I got. Now it's just automatic.
 
Hi ladies :) I have three questions

1)I ran out of dc and am sick so don't want to leave the house
I dc'd with honey, EVOO, tresemme naturals mixed up...
will that work as a dc? Is it penetrating enough?

2)I realised that I was manipulating my hair too much with my daily cowashes so I have reduced mine to twice a week. Bu i still have to plait my hair in about 8 before i sleep and then undo in the morning so is that not just as much manipulation as daily cowashing?

3) To those of you who wash in plaits/braids: are you undoing the plaits, washing/conditioning and then braiding back up one by one? or are you shampooing and dc'ing with the plaits in?

eta: mentioning Nonie cos she got all the answers

Today is my alma mater's Homecoming...Gotta make the curls cute today!!!
 
Got a good trim yesterday. Notice a big difference afterwards.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using SCH-I500
 
My steamer is slowly starting to die on me and I use to swear up and down that I would replace it when it dies but now I am no longer sure. When it finally goes, I may get a huetiful steamer but that is a big maybe.
 
Dinner party tonight. I did bantu knots and will take them down just before we leave. Last night wore a huge Jimi Hendrix afro with a flower in it. I was saving it for halloween (going as JH), but my twist out on my lightly flat ironed hair didn't hold. The 'fro was super cute, if I do say so myself, and BIG. Lol. Hmmm, might have to look into a natural hairspray. I think my bantu knot out might morph into a afro tonight.
 
Just left ulta for the buy2 get1 free sale:) plus I had a 20% coupon
 
my hair is beautifully moisturized. oh, dc'ing...how i love your ways. ends are back in their hiding spots and will stay there until it's time for them to come back out again...in about 9 days because i'm re-doing my twists.
 
My twist out came out delicious thanks to knot today, Shea moisture gel and Shea moisture curl Creme. I was heavy handed with the Creme too. My hair needs that thick goodness to act right.
 
Argggh after spending the day at pioneer farms my hair feels gritty:( I guess I will be washing and dcing again before the school week booooo
 
I wonder when my hair or if it will ever be healthy and supple.I want my hair to swing and but full..Im tired of weave dependency.
 
I will either be A) chopping my hair off at the beginning of the year or B) Getting a weave that I have gone back and forth so many times about. If it is B I want to do atleast 6 months of hidden hair. I dont like the way my ends look. I think too much moisture is making them thin out.
 
So I've decided to start the new year off by BC'ing.
I will be shy of 14 months post.
New year, New hair:yep:
 
steeping tea for rinses and ayurvedic pastes: catnip flower/leaf and fenugreek seeds
 
Finally getting to henna today. I don't know why I was so worried about using it while stretching. I guess a couple detangling nightmares made me leary about doing anything to my hair. Ah well. Looking forward to indigo (but not the mess :rolleyes:).
 
Out of tressemme conditioner!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
 
i'm digging these satin sponge rollers. i gotta get a bigger bonnet though. oh, my hair feels really nice right now, but i will moisturize a little more tonight when i roll up my hair again. yes, i slept in rollers, he was not about to jack up my nice roller set and have me looking like a train wreck the rest of the week!
 
Why do i feel like it's taking me longer to get to APL because I have fat-back? I seriously feel like if I was 30-40 pounds lighter I would be APL already, LOL. Seems like thinner ladies' armpits are right by their ears....I need to lose some weight just so my hair looks longer....Sheesh.

ETA: any thoughts on this Nonie?
