Also throwing up some pics today after relaxer and straightening. I had a disappointing relaxer; i expected more hang time after it but i guess i need some more months before my hair gets to where it feels different than where its been for awhile. Also i did get it trimmed a week back, maybe that half inch or whatever she stole is making the diff. Grey tank is today orange shirt is six months ago. Happy Memorial Day all!

Flat ironed my hair. Will post pics tomorrow. I think I am pretty much SL but I will check with you guys. I did trim about 1/4 an inch off my entire head so its a little shorter but it looks SOOO GOOD. But yes pictures tomorrow after it sets in this wrap

Can't wait to see your progress pics!
 
My two strand twist were a bust. They dried out and turned frizzy by the third day and nothing I did remoisturized them.now back to flat twist. Found that twisting all to the right side was faster so will stick to that for a while.

I love your flat twists
 
I haven't posted in a while. I won't actually put any pics up until my next hair appointment so I'm just chugging along until then. Something I did that you guys might find interesting after I finished my YHYC products being a lazy bum that I am I decided I would use up some old products I have laying around before purchasing again. That was a really bad idea. My hair was so drrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy after using my old stuff. I used to love Organixs, but omg did it dry out my hair. Even their moisturizing conditioner made my hair as dry as a desert. I now understand why so many use leave-in conditioner mixed with oil in for wash and gos. Nothing else kept my hair soft and moisturized. With the yhyc products I just threw some oil on my hair and my hair remained soft for like 3 days after I washed. Which worked great for me because I run frequently. But boy oh boy I'm just going to stick to the yhyc products. Deserts cause knots and I don't like knots.
 
The good news is my edges filled back in fully.

Idk if y'all remember but last fall I realized they were thinning about 1" around the perimeter. Turns out my edges hate bonnets, scarves etc.

I been strictly a satin pillow girl now and it's s good. :up:
 
still here chuggin along. Super busy with work, so not much time to post. Thinking I will straighten some time this month and get a quarterly trim. I feel like my hair is growing well, but I did have a slight setback similar to DarkJoy around my edges wearing a non-wool beanie over my twists for about two weeks on and off in March. That beanie ate up my edges especially in the front. Thought I was protective stylin it up but I really wasnt.

The good news is that you can have a full recovery :yep:
 
Wanted to go back to deep PS. Either crochets orfirst full sew-in in like 15 yrs. But my upcoming trip will mean time in the pool. And chlorine trapped up under some tracks = hair loss.

Will hold out to end of month

Do you do your own crochet braids?
 
[USER=343979 said:
DarkJoy[/USER];20165889]Yes ma'am. Sure do. I cornrows straight back about 10 braids. Takes about 4 or 5 hours. Start to finish. Thinking about taking the plunge faithVA?

Not just yet. My hair is too short for me to cornrow in the back. I do love the styles I have seen with it. I also don't think I can do any hair hanging because girl these hot flashes can send me over the top. The last thing I need on my head is some hair :lol:
 
Hey y'all! I trimmed my hair on June 1st for length and now I have in a sew in. My next pic update will be in September when I take this out. I really want to try to hide my hair until January but that HIH syndrome is real! I think I can do it. Just play in my weave! Lol!
