Now I'm about to out. I wanna wear my freshly relaxed hair out because I'm feeling myself but NO I put too much darn oil in this already fine thin hair of mine yesterday wrapped it and now its limp limp limp
 
Detangled and added some coconut oil to my hair today then it was back into two French braids. Not much shedding but I don't want any!! Two weeks in my blowout and still going strong. Now I'm wavy on some days. Used the aphogee keratin and green tea reconstructor and spritzed with some organix anti breakage serum.
 
Seeing my stylist today for color and flat iron. Why am I nervous about telling her I'm going natural? That's crazy right?
 
Finally found the culprit of breakage at my crown...parting my hair down the middle every time i do anything to my hair. Esp on wash day. From now on im making my crown its own section for the next month or two.

Dag-nabbit.
 
made a hair appt..then cancelled because i decided i was going to flat iron my own hair---
just called back and re-booked the hair appt. lmaooo

smdhhhh i am doing a length check and really want a good flatiron experience--also i've been so busy lately i just dont know if i can commit 3 hours to flat ironing my entire head...
 
I have been up and down this thread..someone posted a youtube video within the last 3 or 4 months of a young lady doing a really nice twistout..and I cant find it..Its driving me mad.
 
Really loving this latest crochet install. Already got ideas for the next one.

Do you have a pic? & what hair did you use?

I'm trying to get my next install together, but want to try some different hair.
 
I want to master the rollerset/blowout technique to save $$. My relaxed hair was so much easier to straighten. I think I should shampoo in braids, dc in braids and blowdry one braid at a time. The last 2 times I washed my hair loose so detangling was a nightmare. Partinh was impossible and the blowdrying part was just a disaster. Im gonna get this thing right...and soon
 
I need some more Keracare Humecto. The bss didn't have it in stock yesterday. Sigh. Off to amazon.com
 
GettingKinky I'm curious about how it goes/went. Will you give us an update after?

Sure. I'll post an update tonight or tomorrow morning. I still haven't figured out how to tell her. She does a good job on my hair and I like her a lot, but I don't think she works on natural hair.
 
This is her! But it was a different video..maybe that's why I couldn't find it, lol...
.thank you:bighug:

I think I watched this video and then went thru her uploaded videos and found the one I was really interested in

no problem! glad I could help :3

So I told my stylist I was contemplating going natural and here's what she said

-you're kind of natural now. A controlled natural (I'm very lightly texlaxed)

- can you imagine combing all this out if you were natural?

- if you still want to color your gray, you won't be completely natural because we'll have to use a demi permanent color :rollseyes:

- relaxer companies are going out of business because of the natural movement (she wasn't against the movement just stating a fact)

Do what you want forget her, it's your hair
 
This rebraiding my hair every night in four sections is working for me. It looks like I have a fresh braidout every day and because I moisturize and seal daily it is shiny and moisturized. And I don't use a comb so I'm not risking mechanical damage. I just apply the moisturizer and work it through with my hands and remove shedded hair and seal, braid and put perm rod at the ends

I am going to do what I want. I'm just not 100% sure what I want.

I do have a lot of hair already, but it's not so hard to manage. How much more difficult can natural hair be?

I know I don't want gray hair, but the thought of demi-permanent color scares me. She said she'd have to do a level 5 peroxide. I don't even know what that means. I have to do some research before my next appt in 8 weeks.
 
I MUST learn to flat twist before the end if the year because this is unacceptable :nono:

Moisturized and sealed and did 7 flat twists. Trying not to wash my hair until next week sometime, I know I'm lazy!
 
I will keep my hands out my hair today. I will keep my hands out my hair today. I will keep my hands out my hair today.
 
I want a long ponytail. I wonder how long that will take... Long pony=big buns and that is my main goal.
 
One of my coworkers today said - your hair looks fantastic TODAY.

So what it look like crap every other day?
 
When I wear my hair curly, everyone at work loves it. When I wear a twist-out bang and a bun, no one comments.

It's very telling.
