SL 2014

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

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.

Aww, they were cute. The world's not ready yet is code for go for it. :)
 
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 :lol:) 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..:lol:

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 >:happydance::reddancer:

Congrats! :-) claim that honey
 
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.
 
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.

Very cute faith. I saw something like this on my feed today. I love it!

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.

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.
