just checking in! SingBrina my hair is cut similar to yours. do you plan on evening things out or just let it grow out. my right side is longer than my left side. i am just going to let it grow out. once i make it to MBL, i may even it up a bit. but i really like to wear buns, since i have a baby boy that loves to pull on and mess up my hair. i have to wear it pinned up with a scarf on around him.

I never thought about it! Good idea, I might! Our at least even out the front and leave the back a little shorter still. I also have one side longer than the other because of the cut.

I can finally pull my hair back into a banana clip! (I still need 3-4 bobby pins).

So I think I'm approaching full NL before I hit SL. Argh.
 
I pre poo'd with KeraVada coffee oil. Dc'd with shea moisture restorative mask and then cowashed with Wen fig. I may twist my hair up for a twistout.

Had a good wash day yesterday. Hopefully by the end of the year I have my regimen nailed for the beginning of 2014. I will probably have to get another trim before the end of the year :sad: but I think I have a better plan for retaining after that. I plan to do a keratin reconstructor every 3 week. I will seal with grease and forget about the butters and oils. I will use LLC on wash day. I will use a water based spritz 1x to 2x a day to keep my moisture up. And I will use a comb on my ends to reduce the tangles. If this doesn't work then I don't know what to do. :pullhair:
 
Still in crochets for another week & a half but I want to condition my hair so bad. I don't like washing & conditioning in with in cornrows. So instead, I just sat on my bathroom floor reorganizing my stash. Then...... I started sniffing all the smelly good condishes!!! Don't judge me!!

I made my own Shea Butter mix over the weekend & I definitely have to find something that's gonna make it smell better. It smells like freshly chopped trees in the woods & tangy. :perplexed
 
I wanted to take my braids out but im to lazy and need them so I can continue my intense workouts here and there. so I refreshed some that really needed it. I was looking bad up there. I'll keep them in for another week or two and either rebraid or get it trimmed, straightened, and get my color retouched up or just a trim and straighten.
 
How has grease worked in the past for you faithVA? You know I'm down for the petroleum products if they work. My hair loves it.

In the past I only used it for about 2 weeks on my ends before I stopped. My hair was so greasy. That was 2 years ago. So I am trying it again. Yesterday was the first time I tried it.

It went on much smoother than any butter and it seemed lighter. I will have to keep you posted because it is too early to tell.

Do you use it on your entire strand or just your ends?
 
9 weeks post. longest stretch of the year thus far. i'm working towards 12-16. Here's the issue though. I can't stand wash days right now. My hair becomes a tragic mess and I'm afraid I'm starting to get breakage. I'm debating if I should get weekly blowouts or just bite the bullet and relax. i reeeeeally don't want breakage.

It's hard to say bc I've never been in this situation. Is it that your hair is tangled where your new growth is on wash days or what is it?

Since im hi po, I use it on the entire length. Keeps it from snagging and snapping and it's conquered my extreme ssk problem. I use one with sulfur and it keeps the growth up too. My retention is also way better.

It's best for me on soaking wet hair. I do it in the evening just a teeny bit. Let my flat twists set overnight. No greasiness in the moening.

Had the same little 5oz jar a year. Using it 1-2 times a week. That's how little you need

Cool. Well I'm lo po, so I am going to stick to just my ends. I don't think I have SSKs as much as I have split ends, so hopefully this will help along with combing my ends. I plan on making BraunSugar's crisco mix to see how that works as my "C" step.

I haven't been here in a while, I had an accident on the bus. The bus driver hit me with the door. My precious grazing shoulder length crown broke off to some where between lip and nose length. A full shoulder length crown was my hair dream this year. Now that I need about three inches to attain my goal I feel so hair defeated. How many years have I been chasing full shoulder length? :perplexed

I will be back with a picture when I get the courage to take it.
