Thanks allandra!

You have got to be soooo patient to have been transitioning so long!! Are you still transitioning or are you all natural?

Serenity your hair is amazing! Question- Did you straighten it and trim on your own or did you go to a shop. If you went to a shop, please give me the 411 since I live in Chicago as well.

Thanks, chica!

I went to a shop in wisconsin, and believe it or not - a white girl blowdried and lightly flat ironed it... It didn't last very long (maybe 5 days), but it had a serious shock factor at work! This pic was taken 3 days after the original straightening - didn't have my camera at the time, but i was still very happy with it.

I could give you her info, but she's kinda far...

I also went to a salon here in Chicago... Jessiedean... She did a nice job... You could try her...

You obviously take very good care of your hair. It looks so healthy and beuatiful! Please tell us what your regimen is. Thanks for sharing.
 
Re: Serenity326 has March 2009 Updates!!! (I thought I would NEVER have time to updat

I wish I had a really good regimen to share, but don't think I really do...

I co-wash my hair most days during the week with herbal essences long term relationship... Lightly rinse my hair, then blot it with a towel... I add a TON of eco styler gel to the front and sides and brush the hair back into a ponytail or bun.

Every 1-2 weekends, I will wash my hair with Creme of Nature shampoo, and use a heavy conditioner to detangle my hair (my fave was the emergencia 911), and then leave some in to deep condition while i complete errands. Then I would rinse it out, and maybe do a ponytail or bun again...

I haven't been good about trying a lot of new products or styles for the sake of efficiency, but if I had the time i would... I bet my hair is cursing me for not giving it the care it deserves...

HTH

Yes, I am still transitioning (going on 72 weeks now). :grin: I currently have 3 inches of relaxed hair left. I hope to be relaxer free when my two year transitioning anniversary comes (October 27, 2009). We'll see. :)

Great updates! Your hair is just GAWJUS!!! I especially love the blow-out reversion look. I've just started playing with that myself & it's my favorite style now.
No need to tell you to keep up the good work-it's your standard.

Your hair looks great, great, great!!! It looks so strong and healthy!
 
Re: Serenity326 has March 2009 Updates!!! (I thought I would NEVER have time to updat

Thanks, Ladies!!! I have been on hiatus, given my crazy schedule at work, but the good news is that your hair still grows even when you don't have the time to focus on it like you would like to! :grin:




Jetblackhair, I WISH I had a true regimen to give you (some ladies on here are sooo disciplined and I admire that!)... I basically will condition wash my hair any day during the morning that its above 10 degrees (and if I am not going to be out for long periods of time)... I ALWAYS air dry my freshly cowashed hair (I find that the curls hang better and more defined that way - when I have tried to diffuse my hair, it ends up really frizzy and dry). Most days my hair is back in a ponytail or a pony/bun (where you almost make a full pony, but then wrap the band over one last time without pulling the hair through... I have a picture below:


HairPictures014-vi.jpg


Outside of that, I sleep with a silk/satin headscarf everynight, and detangle every week (or every other week if I don't have time)... It takes me about an hour to detangle my hair with my denman, which is why I only do so every week or two.

HTH and let me know if you have any other questions! :grin:

Thanks! Well it looks like keeping it simple is working just fine for you. I like your pony bun. :yep:

This just about cracked me up! I am happy that my fotki is enjoyable to others! Lord knows I do my fair share of stalking, ... I mean, visiting, :yep: other albums!

I absolutely LOVE your hair. It's so gorgeous.
