sew-ins can be tricky. That sucks.

 

[lamaria211]

My hair is so soft and moisturized I'm thinking it could be because of the Roux hair repair treatment I've been using weekly and the 24hr black tea rinsing sessions anyway I'm happy

 

[jessicarabbit]

lindsaywhat do you think it might have been too tight?

Yeah it was pretty hard to get out so I think that's what it was. Plus some of my hair got cut

It was in for like a month. Hair was just coming out. I would barely pull my hair and it would just slide out. I had a big hair ball on the vanity when I finished. And thinner shorter hair

Walgreens had a sale for Mane & Tail conditioner and shampoo 2.99 for the 32 oz, so I got a bottle of conditioner.

Putting on oil first, then my leave in gave me really nice results. I didn't have to use as much leave in to detangle

 

[yoleee]

Tired of this hair sh**t!! What happen to the days when my hair grew long without me having to think about it???!!!!

 

[youwillrise]

nothing like washing your hair at midnight. haha. was too lazy to do it all day. got the conditioner slapped in with a bag over top of it. will rinse in the am, detangle, moisturize and all that jazz...let dry and then twist probably in the evening sometime.

 

[divachyk]

Sigh. I will never ever again get another sew in. I had a setback y'all . My hair is still coming out and I took the sew in out yesterday. My hair has thinned and weakened. I thought i did everything right; moisturizing, dcing under heat, etc. but nope, wasn't good enough. So time to baby my hair under wigs for the remainder of the year. Sigh, just sigh.

I'm sorry lindsaywhat. Hope things get better but know it's frustrating as heck. Hang in there.

Platinum, I vote for weave.

Rolled over at 6am thinking I need to sharpen my hair scissors. No idea why.....Going back to sleep. smh

reading is fundamental - I have used WEN off and on for over 2 years, why all that time I have been using the moisture pack (deep conditioner) like it was a creamy gel? I thought i read to use it as an edge control - it did lay the hair down no frizz, no hardness or stickyness. Started using it correctly today and another reason to up my fanatic love for all things wen

Heck Im trying to get my sister to use it on her dog so I can get her to buy it and then i can just permanently borrow it from her

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

^^^LMBO You are going to be soooo wrong for that, LOL!

 

[Ogoma]

I love co-washing my hair. Trying to pair it down to 2x a week will be hard . I am going to give myself September as a grace period and get strict come October . I love how juicy and shiny my hair looks when I co-wash .

 

[SlimPickinz]

Watching youtube and Traci Ellis Ross got a commercial for Optimum 6 in 1 hair oil... I wonder if it works. My sister keeps complaining her twistouts look dry.

 

[.:Eden:.]

I want to wear buns so badly but my hair is too thick and they give me a headache. Ugh...but they're soooo cute.

 

[Platinum]

Platinum, I vote for weave.

MyAngelEyez~C~U Thank you sis. I keep thinking about all of the reasons why I went natural in the first place. The pros still outweigh the cons on staying natural but I guess I'm just frustrated. I guess i'll weave it up sometime this week before I go back to work.

How have you been?

 

[MyAngelEyez~C~U]

Platinum I've been doing alright, been having to fight the urge to flat-iron my hair a lot in recent weeks. Trying to hold out until October or December, LOL.

 

[growbaby]

i cant wait for the holidays, i wanna swang on everybody, taking no prisoners

 

[halee_J]

Changed up a few things and shaved about 10 mins off my wash routine. Less is more

 

[Arian]

Using a protein reconstructor and leaving in a protein based conditioner was too much...ick.

 

[Katherina]

I have an urge to cut and style my hair like this.

I'm tired of dealing with it. I want a change. Something new!

Putting on oil first, then my leave in gave me really nice results. I didn't have to use as much leave in to detangle

leiah I do this too. I put oil immediately after washing while its still wet, then add leave-in. I seal the leave in with whipped shea butter. What tangles?

 

[Aireen]

So I did another oil sealing conditioner session. I think I like the results with coconut oil more. The olive oil is so moisturizing but with coconut oil my hair doesn't stink the next day or after a few hours, it isn't uber oily, and it has more natural shine.

 

[ms.tatiana]

Late night using Olive oil and Tea Tree oil and oiling my scalp in this weave.

 

[fairyhairy]

really three hours to do my hair - I hate detangling

 

[NJoy]

For the record, transitioning will eventually force you to BC because of how shabby the relaxed ends look. Dude. I hate my hemline. Time to give up the ghost.

 

[Lissa0821]

Castor oil will never touch my hair again in life. It is too drying for my strands.

 

[MrsJaiDiva]

Gave my hair a good 1/4" trim yesterday, and then curled my twists with cold wave rods. Poked em this morning, and my hair is still damp. I don't think I need to take them out till Wednesday, but that means I'll be rolling around the hood with my satin scarf on.
