SL 2015

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I am ready to relax my hair. I've tried to go as long as I could without but my hair won't lay down. It gets aggravating.

Do whatever makes it easy for you. No judgment here.

::sigh::
I know I just joined this daggone challenge but.... I wanna cut.
My relaxed ends are so annoying.

The only thing stopping me from cutting is that I recently moved to a new place and don't have a stylist here that I trust.

I've been wearing my hair pulled back in a lil ponynubbin every day just because I don't want to see the difference in textures.

If I cut I won't be able to pull it back anymore...but I'd prefer that than seeing these janky limp ends.

OK
just wanted to vent. ::woooosssaaaaaahhh::

Hope you didn't cut. Just do a little trimming at a time to get rid of those ends.

Welcome Kells. I will get you added to the list.

That is a big deal Congratulations!

I saw some growth in the last quarter but my hair is just hitting NL and too short for quick styling options

I think I may buy some hair and put my hair into flat twist extensions for 10 days at a time to give myself a break.

Your family looks like mine! Except my kids are older - one girl, one boy also.

Every night after I LOC, I twist my hair up, and clip it with a bobbi pin before tying my scarf. I find that it helps my ends stay straight, and I can see damage as it happens.

I'm trimming at the end if this challenge so that I can even up my ends.

Random picture of my air-dried hair. I still need a trim though. I know y'all are tired of me saying that but bare with me a little while longer lol.

 

[faithVA]

I bought some beshe kinky twist hair to out my hair up for a while. I washed it tonight so it will be all ready to go when I wash my hair over the weekend. I think I'm going to keep it twisted up 10 days at a time until my back grows out a little more. I would love you to do two months but for now I will just shoot for doing it through January. I will reevaluate then.

 

[PeaceFlow]

Wow just bought the green magic hair growth cream. Wasn't expecting it to be such a lovely consistency and smell so great lol. I love it and when I check by my edges feel really moisturised. The castor oil seemed to be drying out fast so i will alternate them and see.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Guess who finally got her ends trimmed? *points to self* This curl right here! I apologize in advance for the sideways pictures, Idk how to turn them the right way.

12/31 photo. Didn't feel like straightening so I just pulled.

 

[yaya24]

Welcome yaya24. Why did you big chop?

faithVA

I texlaxed in 2013 after being natural for 4.5 yrs.
I loved it, but decided natural was best for me.
So I BC#2 January 2014 and was still using my indigo powders henna etc and dedided I wanted to use color instead... so October Big Chop#3.

 

[yaya24]

I added my starting pic to my original post.

I put in flat twist with the ends on perm rods on Friday. I took them out Saturday and wore it out until today. But my hair was drying out so put it back up in twist. I will wash again tomorrow to rehydrate my hair.

 

[Love2Live]

I said I didn't want braids but it's just so much easier. I can keep it moisturized easier and low manipulation. I plan to keep them in for all of January, take them out the first week of February, and then braided again before my trip to Africa the second week in feb.

P. S. The back is in single braids.

 

[faithVA]

Was able to flat twist my hair in 30 minutes. So I will be doing mhm every 3 days to see if it improves my moisture.

Unless I do a roller set I'm going to just wear the same flat twist style all month to make things easier.

 

[Wenbev]

I've been on a no comb/brush routine since mid Oct and my hair is thriving. I am so surprised! I have barely any breakage or split ends. Since Oct I have also pared down my routine and I'm using less product.

 

[Wenbev]

bump! bump!

 

[faithVA]

Did another mhm wash with as I am cleansing pudding, Jessicurl deep conditioner and mud puddle mud wash. I did loc with naturelle grow leave in, hazelnut oil and MHC type 4 hair cream.

My hairs twisted back up in the same flat twist style.

Will wash again on Sunday.

Did a pull length check tonight. These will be my official starting pics. Using my tattoos as markers for my length checks. So the back is about full neck length and pulled to the front collar bone length still. Sorry if this collage comes out huge

Cool. You will definitely be SL soon

 

[faithVA]

This month I am washing every 3 days and my scalp is loving it. I am trying to remember to oil my scalp with my oil blend.

I am seeing some progress. I am finally able to flat twist all twist towards my crown and to band them together and tuck the ends under and its still early January. So I am hopeful of my progress by the end of march
