SL 2014

Just did a trim or dust whichever one you want to call it. My ends were tangling around each other extremely bad and SSKs galore. I know I don't have to show pic but I'm a firm believer if no pics it never happened lol.

Is it really? I feel like . A slow grower. Retaining short hair is hard for me. Especially since I don't do wigs or weaves.

A slow grower would have 1.25 to 1.5 inches in 3 months. You are double that. You are between average and a faster grower.

Retaining short hair is hard for me as well. But if you can hold on for a little while longer you will be out of this phase. Each inch will make things a bit easier.

Yes! I agree. Before we hit SL I feel like we are in that awkward stage. You can't do much to it, and if you try to straighten it it just looks weird!
Last time I BC'd I was a little longer than this length when I caved an relaxed
 
Hi ladies...just updating been wiggling it for the week and maybe throughout the end of the month the weathers been crazy here in south Florida......I'm thinking about going back to relaxing my hair after being real with myself that I prefer straight styles and my 4c hair hates heat plus our rainy weather does not make it any better....kind of on the fence about what to do..

Do what works for you...you have all the info and knowledge you need for healthy relaxed hair as well as the same for your natural hair. Do what you want its your hair and I'm sure it will be lovely whatever you decide. Have you tried looking at YT videos on different styles you can do if you're truly not sure you want to relax? Try that and go from there.

I hate that my nape grows faster than the rest of my hair but the one style that seems to look better each time I do It as my hair grows is bantu knot outs!

Before I relaxed my hair I was full shoulder length I went natural for a change and a chance to try and grow my hair it's natural state but honestly I only look good in puffs..and as stated I like straight styles and I have a two year old and a husband who is saying my hair takes up too much time....I will update on my choices when I figure out what I want to do...so frustrating..
 

Yeah I understand. If you feel relaxing will make it easier for you then go for it. Make sure you post pics on whatever you decide bc we love some hair porn!

ETA- have you looked into BKT or alternatives like Design Essentials? I'm looking into DE for my girls so I've been lurking that thread.

Lol. Thank you. I get the best results with 14-16 knots. I use my LI, section into about 5 sections and then apply Eco Styler gel the olive oil kind. Sometimes I two strand twist first then twist that up which gives me the best definition but for that one I just twisted clockwise and as the hair is going around in the knot I make sure to keep twisting then use a hairpin to secure the knot. It works best for me on stretched, blow dried, or straightened hair.
 
did a blow out to use the split ender, made two passes to make sure all the ssks and split ends were cut off. Feeling your bko Babygrowth will give that a try since I have to work tomorrow.
 
I jut took advantage of the Obia sale and ordered 1 thing (I know I can't believe it myself lol) I got the twist whip butter.

I bought a new flat iron yesterday...for DD :look:

But Im so excited to use it!! She only straightens her hair like a few times a year. I need to be getting a rolley dryer for myself so I can stop all this direct heat and do some roller sets :spank:

I am supposed to be doing micro yarn braids this week but I dont have the time or energy even though I have DD here to help. Maybe during the Christmas break

I LOVE this HHJ!!
