Would you believe I’m ready to take my hair down already

I did the worst possible thing to my hair, I touched up my roots with demi permanent dye and immediately put mini braids in. The take down was awful this time because my hair was so dry and the braiding hair kept getting tangled at the ends of my hair. I had to cut the single strand knots all throughout. I am going to baby my hair with deep conditioning with my steamer for the next month. I am also going back to air drying my hair and greasing my scalp on wash day too.

@Lissa0821 Yikes! Sorry to hear that, but at least you know where you went wrong.

I wish that my chest wasn't so dang broad. I'm past APL in the back, but my hair doesn't look like it from the front .

I've been wearing my hair straight since May (I think), and I've only had a day here or there where I wanted my natural curls back. Getting my curls back would mean big chopping again, and I'm not that pressed LOL! In the future, I'll go back to my natural pattern, and when I do, I'll start locs. It would be the perfect time to go for it!

But in this moment, I want to get to swangin' WL hair before I bite that bullet.

I’m letting my color conditioner (magenta) sit on my hair for about 30 minutes. Then I’ll shampoo and dc

I'm honestly starting to wonder if my hair really likes natural products (i.e. conditioners, leave ins) or not. My hair and I have been in an epic battle the last few years (splits like crazy) and really the only thing that's different is that I started to use a lot of "natural" conditioners and leave-ins instead of my "normal" salon items. I'm going to do a mini-experiment and see what happens when I use my JOICO products for a little while because my hair really isn't happy at the moment (I'm still going to seal and stuff because I've always done that).

I've realized that there isn't a lack of 4b/4c representation on YouTube. A lot of 4b/4c YouTubers have small channels so they never end up in the recommended videos

I just cannot fathom that this lady only washes her hair every 6-8 months. Not melanin deficient either. She doesn’t wear her hair out at all, and is under wigs 99.9% of the time, plus she uses dish soap to wash her hair when she does wash it. She’s currently texlaxed, but was previously natural. Her hair is pretty long too. There truly is different strokes for different folks. My brain just can’t wrap around it

I tried wrapping my hair for the first time since I started using heat in May. Nope! It's not for me! I put my hair into a high ponytail if I want it to stay straight, and in a bun if I want some waves.

Salon products are really good. Let us know what your experiment tells you.

I have a trim appointment next weekend which means I should not be buying hair products this month.

Which will be a perfect excuse to buy during Black Friday weekend lol.

My sweet spot with mini twist is one week. I will washing and redoing my twist each week for the rest of the year. Also, I am so glad I am past my product junkie days because between Pattern and MoKnowHair product my pockets would be much lighter with a quickness.

This TGIN Green Tea Moisturizer might be on to something. It doesn’t have glycerin, it smells good, and feels moisturizing af.

However, I’m super over blew that I just realized Ammyzon sells it for $11 and I just bought it from the beauty supply store for $15+ tax

Dagnabit.

I did 2 jumbo French braids and pinned them up. Easy protective style/work do
