@DarkJoy Its a Sensationnel Wig named Chantel lol

It will be a year in September since I've worn a wig. Found this sucker and decided I'm getting back on my wig game for my fall/winter style.

The link below was from when I posted in here the day I purchased it ( there is a YT video in there). It is super realistic looking. Can't wait to wear it starting Labor day weekend.

lol noooo.. this thread is active!! I would've missed it too.
It would be nice if I could find this locally because online I was HUNTING for it. Then ended up paying more than I know I should have. Bought 2 so I should be good for a minute.

I took pictures for my 2 inches in 4 months challenge so posting here. Will still do a length check in September. But I will just rollerset for that one.

I can finally do 2 cornrows or flat twist But only after I blow dry which I never do.

 

[faithVA]

My nape is SL but the area right about my nape is just starting to graze SL. I want the area under my crown to be SL so that is what I'm shooting for. I'm getting there.

going thru my hair products stash. Have way too much stuff. Especially since I've been cowashing since November. It seems I use more condish and oils but not too much heavy butters, stylers or liquid leave ins. It seems less IS more.

 

[naija24]

so annoyed. i feel like my hair should be longer by now. it's already approaching september next week and i still feel like i'm ear length. when relaxed, i'd be neck length by now. What's going on????

I"m craving a relaxer to see my true length.

your hair looks good on your photo..it fits you

Thank you! But I really want to see how long it would take for my hair to be CBL as a natural. that's my challenge to myself.

 

[londonfog]

Sorry you had that experience with the sm manuka. And yea that rice protein.... my hair loves it but...

Ive noticed ALL sm products have some type of protein which, for me, keeps them in the category of reconstructors. I think this is why they can be so hit or miss with ppl.

Thanks! It appears that my hair doesn't too much care for either of those Masques! I guess I'll stick to my old trusty buddy Elasta QP DPR 11+ mixed with some olive oil.

 

[londonfog]

Today, I attempted to cowash but my hair felt gritty from product build up so I washed with an Organix sulfate free poo & then just conditioned real quick with a Cantu naturals conditioner ( I can never remember these names if the products aren't in front of me).

I started trying the LOC method because my ends don't know how to act. They've been up in crochets for a whole year so playing around with different moisturizing techniques to see how they work.

 

[jennifer30]

the back of my hair grew 1/2 inch..

 

[Guinan]

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been gone for well over a month due to the membership issues. I miss yall so much!!! I will be posting like crazy due to the deprivation .

I will be posting my LC pics later today. I'm claiming APL. I desperately need a trim but I'm waiting until I straighen my hair in Oct/Nov. So far I've been dusting.

 

[xu93texas]

I intended to wash and do a blowout for a length check, but I couldn't stop admiring my curls. Shrinkage is real. I'll do a blowout next week.

Today, I'm sporting my first wash n go. The first pic is from Sunday of naked hair and the last two are after applying product (today).

August LC and sum pics of my twistout. I believe the styler that I used was goddess curls botanical gel.

Love the hair color @pelohello
congrats on the growth!

 

[faithVA]

I put in 2 strand twists. Let's see if they last a week. If so then I will try wearing them for the rest of September.

 

[Guinan]

I'm contemplating on installing some mini twists. This has been the longest I've ever gone without using direct heat. The last time I straightened my hair was at the end of April. I gave myself a mini dusting due to SSKs at my nape.

 

[londonfog]

I co washed on Friday with Suave & decided to DC one more time with the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Masque but this time I mixed a ton of olive oil in it & let it sit for about an hour. When I rinsed, it was only decent but not the tangled & hard situation that I had to deal with last week. I won't be buying this again the price & to have to be mixed with olive oil & only to do an OK job.

I did the LOC method & dried in 2 ponies. My hair absolutely loved this!! I did a regular M/S as usual On Saturday & Sunday & massaged my scalp with JBCO & my edges & nape with pine tar. My hair is shiny & soft & my ends are tame!

 

[jennifer30]

i dont understand how i am not retaining, do i need to leave my protective styles in longer ?

Why do you think your not retaining?

 

[jennifer30]

Why do you think your not retaining?

because the sides have been stuck at the same length even though i see new growth..

Maybe you'll notice length when your hair is straighter. I'm assuming it's shrunken...

 

[Wenbev]

wash day today - did a prepoo with some random leftover condish, shampooed with yes to carrots, dc with ssi avocado, finished with darcys coco bean and eight twists

For what period of time would you say you have been 'stuck'?
