SL 2015

I've decided that heat (tension blowdry) is a must for me.
I skipped the heat for the month of January, and my ends are ssk city.

Im going back to weekly blow dries.

Planning to dust mid March.
 
I haven't relaxed in two months. My new growth is looking good! I had a good growth spirt for once! It looks like a little under and inch and a half! This is a lot for me lol!

Wow that is a lot. Congratulations. I'm so jealous :sad: But happy for you :grin:
 
With this cold, I've skipped my wash every 3 days and its been a week. Was supposed to wash tonight but will put it off until Sunday. Last night I took out my flat twist, put a little water on my hair and twisted up with one of the Camille Rose products. Don't know which one. Wearing a twist out today which came out pretty good. I will just put on my bonnet and ride out the weekend.
 
Havent been doing too much and that includes washing. Really want to protein DC on saturday but dunno if I can much less hendigo which is what I really want to do.

In other news, been keeping my ends tucked and trying different stylers to see what agrees with my strands and not cause breakage. With my new job and father on hospice, I no longer have time to make products (or much else) at home so its a little PJism for now to see what works.
 
I'm 2 months post BC today. I wanted to do a mini length check, but I don't feel like it. I know my hair is growing- my fro is getting thicker.

So sorry about your father! :-(
 
I need to wash my hair! I would really like some time to myself to take care of myself. I gave myself a quick pedi, groomed my eyebrows, but I still need to do my hair, nails, and wax! I need a break!

Oh I got some of that Curls curl paste. I got the blueberry one. I hope it will lay my edges.
 
Bit worried.

My temple edges are still struggling even though I've been oiling for a month. Usually it would have started to retain/grow by now:ohwell:. The thin patch at the top is growing in though. Not sure if wig etc.. is causing friction still but I aint going without wigs with this eyesore at the side of my head.

what oil are you using?
 
Thanks for you concern faithVA HairPleezeGrow and shortdub78. Hes not much longer for this earth so I've bern helping with his care and final wishes. Im doing ok and have made my peace with it and him..

Obviously not much time for real hair care. Just trying to keep what I got on my head during this time. Tempted to bust out my wig....
 
I'm pretty much sticking with my flat twist until some time in March. Between now and then I will do a rollerset and maybe a twist out but I will keep it up for the most part.

I would love to have a growth spurt. But right now it looks like I'm pretty close to my 1/2" a month and I seem to be retaining some of that and my ends are getting better.

I will do a roller set this month for a special occasion and then next month for my quarterly check in. I am optimistic that I will see at least a slight difference between March and December.

I need a growth spurt! I would like to wear my hair out in April.
 
Did a seek and destroy last night. The crown is coming along. Seems the best way to keep the crown retaining is to remove ssk and splits immediately.
 
Winter is the time of great patience :yep: But I am feeling fairly happy with my hair right now which is definitely a step up. Today is my wash day and my hair is holding up so well I hate to take it down to wash it.

Even though its not long, I am looking forward to enjoying my hair this spring and summer.
 
My old faithful scurl is back in the mix.
Leaves my hair sooo soft.
The back almost too soft.
I had to srpay my hair with some aphogee green tea spray this evening to get some balance back there.

I hate my hair right now! It's not doing what I want! My hair won't curl at the ends. It's weird. My scalp is dry. I wear it up all the time which I hate. I have a face that needs to be framed.
 
Today I am getting my MUCH needed trim. Then I will have an honest idea of how SL is looking for 2015. We are also going to talk about whether or not I want to transition. I just don't like how thin and hard to moisturize my relaxed hair is but I am also afraid that learning to care for my natural hair will be another challenge. We shall see. Happy Friday!!!
 
Oh and I am proud of my hair this week. It has been doing pretty well as far as moisture. When I washed last Friday I used joico moisture recovery shampoo and conditioner balm and dc'd Eden Body works. It was my first time using all three products and my hair responded very well to them all. I think I might be on to something. Yay!

Why won't your hair curl at the ends?

Maybe your hair and scalp need some extra pampering this weekend. Maybe a nice hot oil treatment will help you get through this winter.
