@Rozlewis That's always a challenge. Try experimenting with different products. Products with aloe vera gel help hold my curls best, but I had to find that out the hard way through trying lots of different things. You could also try pincurls at night.Did a roller set with perm rods which is now in a bun. My perm rods sets only last about 2 days. Any tips on how to keep my curls form the rod set longer?
Hey strangers,
I know nap85 has come out with that video about that "theory"...the theory that has been hashed around this board and youtube and other hair blogs...but that's cool. No shade, just interesting.
Any who I just wanted to tag @faithVA bc it's been months now that I promised pic of my deva cut. My new profile pic is ONE of the pics I took, I'm being lazy and tired so I'll upload the others later.
Working over 40hrs and setting do not mix well ladies.
Beautiful hair! Keep it up!
I've been really enjoying it. The crown of my head before the hair cut was sooooo long compared to everywhere else. The cut evened out everything and I don't feel overwhelmed anymore. Doing my hair takes less than 2 hrs (prepoo, wash, deep condition, detangle, style and dry).Are you happy with it? I will stay posted for the others. Thanks for remembering.
@coilyhaircutie Our regimen is similar. My hair gets deep conditioned twice a week. I put it in 2 braids to dry. Wear those for a day or 2. Rock a braidout one day then a high bun the next day. Wash, rinse, repeat. I've been saving setting for special occasions.
@leleepop What products do you use to do your curly fro in between washes?I cowash and detangle once a week, do a curly fro set ever night, sometimes with rollers/sometimes without. I love my hair like this and I get compliments all the time too. I can workout with ease using this regimen, it has been a win win for me.
I 've been using this recipe from Motown girl.com for years and it works like a charm for me. 3oz water, 2oz vo5/white rain or fav non silicone condish, and 1 oz olive oil or your favorite oil put in spray spritz bottle. This is my daily moisture spritz. I don't use the exact measurements now I pretty much eyeball it. My recipe is 75% water in a spray spritz bottle, 2 sqirts condish, and 1 sqirt olive oil. hth@leleepop What products do you use to do your curly fro in between washes?
Has anyone tried any of these?
View attachment 337267 View attachment 337269 Did a roller set a few days ago. The summer slowdown got me rusty...my set turned out to be a bust. My natural hair turned into a ball of frizz but my relaxed ends did ok. Gonna work it out though! Maybe do a few bantu knots and wear it frizzed out. Lol
I've missed setting & look forward to squeezing it back in for the cooler months.
That's awesome! Congrats! @faithVA Retention is half the battle, and it's something I want to get better at=
I definitely have more length than I did when I rollerset in April.
@lulu97, that hair, that hair. It's so luscious and healthy! What techniques did you use to get past BSL? What's helped you retain the most moisture // what moisturizer do you use?
Lulus back and badder than ever.
Rub it in @Rozlewis seeing how I'm struggling with blending. j/k Great job on a successful wash day. I have CurlFormers that I've had for years and never used them. I forsee having a hard time figuring out how to install them. Was it challenging?
Ladies, I'm over one year post relaxer. What are some good ways/rolling techniques to blend the new growth and relaxed hair. When setting my hair (roller setting or flexi rod setting), there is a distinct difference between the textures and it doesn't blend well. My new growth look dull and frizzy and my relaxed hair looks hydrated and sleek. My hair has a tendency to want to gravitate upward for some reason. I assume the thick, puffy roots are to blame. I am open to suggestions.
