Wearing a twist out today in preparation for coloring my hair tonight. Going to put in some flat twist extensions for an event tomorrow. I wanted to wear curls but at 94 degrees that would just be a poodle puff style. My twist out is nice and defined though. I could probably wear it 3 days just by wearing a bonnet at night.
If the flat twist extensions don't take too long to install, I may try wearing them weekly. We shall see.
Happy with the progress my hair is making. I am moving out of that annoying in between length. I can definitely see having some decent styles by spring of next year.
I just need to stick with the program.

What colour are you planning on dying it? Not to sound invasive by asking. I have a thing for dyed hair ol

Just dark brown. Trying to hide the grays. It came out pretty nice. I love the Shea Moisture Color. It works so well.

On really? A really relative of my has issues with hiding greys. I'm pretty sure that the dye she uses is very bad. If you're using it then I know it must be a good product. I will recommend it.

Is she using a permanent color or a rinse. The Shea moisture is permanent. It would be nice if they also had a semi permanent.
My neighbor says she has a nice semi permanent but I need to find out the name so I can give it a try. I just needed to get this done. I haven't used a permanent color since November.

The semi perm color I used seems to work well and I cowash/shampoo daily. The color started to fade after three weeks. It is Ion brilliance I think?

why when i unbraid my hair, my hair seems shorter? and when its staight, its longer? does braiding your hair cause shrinkage? etc.

I would think braiding or twisting would cause shrinkage. It causes hair bend and take on the pattern of the braid or twist.

I've revamped my routine and decided to write it down here to put it into existence. I'm keeping things simple and using way less product than in the past.
oil prepoo/co-wash 2-3x a week, flat twist and tshirt dry
drink 2-3 c of bamboo tea daily
take all vitamins daily for optimal health
eat healthy and drink 100 oz of water daily
deep condition weekly
tea rinse as necessary
henna every 4 weeks

I don't have an issue with the color holding, my issue is s semi permanents don't attach so my gray strands period. As soon as I rinse, the color rinses right off. In may try some more there brands but i had given up and just went with the permanent.
I may need to use a pH treatment before trying semi again.

I think permanent would be better for her hair. She won't be dying it lighter any time soon and I'm pretty sure the repetitive semi permanent dye is contributing the weakness.

the only reason i asked is because i have that much left to make it to SL...lol but i dont know if i am measuring my hair right
ForestRose

Me too. Or to where I was before the cut (Below the CB).
It would take till December to get 3 inches for most people. A diet change, exercise, supplements and PS could maybe allow you to reach that goal quicker.

Really? You mean measuring hair from the back
I'm confused. 3" of hair on me doesn't even reach my ears.
faithVA

Based on your last pictures, that may be about right. You had about 2" to 3" to go.

I have my hair in flat twist extensions and enjoying the carefree hair days. Unfortunately, I will be taking them down Wednesday to do a protein treatment, blow dry and a dusting for the summer solstice. Hopefully I can just keep it up after that. If I can resize my picture I will post the style I wore to the wedding. I am soooo glad I didn't try to perm rod the front. It was crazy hot outside.
