Did some Havana twist for the first time last night but I'm not sure if I like em. No one around me seems to like em (usually people comment left and right but now their avoiding eye contact). I'm thinking I should take em out

They look cute. People were like that when I had my faux locs; especially my mom. But I love them!! I had those bad boys in for bout 2 1/2 weeks. My friends loved my faux locs.

What dont you like about them?

I think they're cute. At least keep them in for a few weeks. You could do some nice updos with these.

You are just feeling self conscious and you think people feel like you do. Let them stay for a week or two to give yourself some time to adjust. Then if you still don't like them take them out.

I think you should redo the ones on top. Overall it looks cute on you.

Thanks y'all but I took em out immediately after my sons dad said "the world isn't ready for those yet" lol.
I liked em, they just weren't polished and didn't look like the girls on YouTube I studied for days before attempting them. I felt like I looked like





lol.

Sitting with DC in my hair now preparing for a sew in.

Most of the ladies on yt have been doing it for a while. They aren't showing you their first attempt. As you do them more you will get better.

I just throw mine up into a pony when they aren't perfect.

Hope you try it again.

Thinking I will go all out for the last LC and give it a real straightening instead of my lame barely warm to touch hot comb.

Got my hair's favorite straightening/ heat serum (mixed chicks. I know we hate them here but whatev ) and some pressing oil. Gonna protein and moisturize the mess out of her for the next cpl weeks as well as be religious about my vitamins. Gotta squeeze out that last half inch, ya know!

Go ahead and do the thing. We want to see some hair.

Yaaas! I can't wait

Well I'd like to thank my friends, family, God, that teacher that always believed in me, the SL challenge ladies etc..

I'm so excited! Last time I straightened earlier in the year I rested at neck length mostly with a bit of shoulder (partially because my hair doesn't get bone straight).

Straightened again today not expecting much and my hair is now resting at SL - CL with reversion. Never had shoulder length in my life so excuse me while I >:reddancer:

I started taking MSM pills since Saturday. Been taking one a day, but will take two today and so on. Seeing if it will give me a boost and help with my skin. I'm going to do better with m&s correctly.

 

[DarkJoy]

Congrats Sumra and others who've made the goal!

I need it to stop raining here so I can press my mess for the final LC.

Also thinking I might stay up in here while I wait for the crown to hit my shoulders. Got another 3" there.

Tried a flat twist/curly updo for the Christmas party. I so rarely wear my hair out my coworkers were surprised I had any hair They will probably be disappointed to see it back in twist on Monday

I ended up doing it in a rush last night but it came out pretty good.

Thank you. I have a lot of styles on my pinterest board. I just don't have the hair to do them yet. But soon

faithVASorry if I've already asked this a long time ago but do you remember what essential oil recipe you used for your bald spot?

 

[faithVA]

Sumra[/USER];20853703]faithVASorry if I've already asked this a long time ago but do you remember what essential oil recipe you used for your bald spot?

Not a problem. I used 4 oz of oil, 4 to 8 drops each of sage, rosemary and basil. And 7 to 10 drops of lavender.

For me it was a combination of the oil, wetting my scalp 1 to 2 times a week and using a clay on my scalp. Oh and massages which I don't do consistently.

 

[PeaceFlow]

Thanks faith. I'll look into the clay as well.

 

[Evolving78]

This is so pretty! You did a good job!

Curled my wig with curling iron and pin curled it last night. I'm going to a Christmas party with my sister for her job today. This is the hair from my first sew in. I placed it back on a wig cap. I ended up pinning it to the side.

faithVA and HairPleezeGrow loving the hair porn!

I think I have enough hair for a better bun now. I'm definitely SL but I want to wait until my blow out in two weeks to claim it. Hopefully with Megatek, inversion, and my sulfur oil I will gain more and solidify my SL/CBL theory. Lol.

HairPleezeGrow is the queen of hair porn.

Can't wait to see your bun. Congratulations on reaching SL.
