SL 2015

Annnnd so I've been MIA from this challenge for a minute. I'd taken my crochets down back in November & had been wearing my own hair but I slacked off my routine & have been keeping my hair tucked under winter cap which caused my ends to break something fierce! I still haven't cleared SL either. So back to the drawing board.

I haven't had a relaxer in 9 months & I'm transitioning so I bought a hooded dryer to do DCs & roller sets. I did a dusting a few days ago. Prepoo'd (for the first time ever) today, poo'd, did a protein DC & roller set (for the first time ever). It came out fluffy & thick. Bought a phony pony to keep her tucked under. On another note, since I started my hair journey in 2012, I've learned to love my new growth!!

I'm still in the challenge but my hair hasn't grown at all because I am still trying to get it together. My goal is to grow two inches by the end of June.

Well come visit us sometime just to say hello :yep:
 
I ordered a hair dryer with a comb attachment so I can blow dry my hair next week for a trim. I can't remember the last time I blew my hair dry. Its going to be interesting to see what it looks like.

I bought a comb attachment and that thing keeps popping off! I don't like this big dumb blow dryer that I have.

Yeah I bought one for mine and it did the same thing. So I just decided to buy a new one that came with the attachment. I don't feel like making things work.

Put it in tiny little Bantu knots using ssi coconut quench moisturizer. If it looks good in the morning, will wear it out tomorrow. If not then back to my rollup go to....
 
Here is my first attempt at an updo. I was inspired by DarkJoy an faithVA.

I'm going to try it with a banana clip bun at the end of the month. For now I'm going to stick with my flat twists and perm rods just to be consistent.

I hope I reach some of my goals by the end of the month.

Go ahead and do your thing. You did a good job for your first time. How do you like it? It's going to be nice to have some additional styles in your repertoire.

I like. Since I'm seeing more length I'm want to try some other styles.

your hair looks so moisturized and soft! Very nice! I wish you were with me when that lady decided to pull her damn wig off in the store and tell me she don't need no satin cap or moisturizer! Hair was a hot stinky mess! I'm not offering anymore help or input in the store. I walked off after she did all of that. There was another lady trying to give her some advice. As soon as she pulled off her wig, ole girl told her she needed a hot oil treatment and some deep conditioning. She wasn't trying to hear it. She definitely wasn't trying to hear me, since I kept asking what moisturizer did she have at home. She just kept saying Creme of nature.

you can't make everyone see the light. When all she has is a rice Krispy on her head she'll wonder what happened to her hair.
 
Blowing up this thread the last few days. Trying to get brave on posting pic updates. So... my bantu knot out was a fail. Will try diff products next time.

Despite the fail I pulled it into a puff. Received a cpl compliments today surprisingly.
