So, there are tons of textured styles I think are cute, but I feel like they require really long hair, otherwise it doesn't fit my face, which is fairly narrow. Stretched/straight are the most attractive styles to me. I just want natural CBL hair
In my opinion you should give the heat a break till you reach your first complete hair goal (SL). That way you can understand your hair better plus get better growth. I like straight natural styles too and I also desperately want to do a proper length check but I want to reach my hair goals quickly so I'm avoiding direct heat. (May use it on the strongest part of my hair with a weave leave out in the near future.)So, there are tons of textured styles I think are cute, but I feel like they require really long hair, otherwise it doesn't fit my face, which is fairly narrow.

Collarbone is full SL. So if you were collarbone a few months ago you should be close to APL now.
My hair is great!! So glad I removed my weave. I feel sexier already. Found a Hair Cuttery near my house comprised of mostly black stylists so I can get a great press for just $35. Really happy about that, and so is my budget.
Wow thats horrible. Won't be buying from them then. I've spent months thinking about my next PS just because looking for decent hair is so difficult unless you have money to spare. I recently bought the kanubia 5 and wanted to curl it to make it kinkier. So I made a u part and tried to curl it to no avail because it was a loose curl and tangled a lot. I then tried to straighten it thinking that I could curl it after and it tangled still. So now its in the bin. I'm not even angry about the money its more the time wasted on it. I thought I was saved seeing as all the reviews on this hair are good.
I'm trying to figure out the same thing. I read that there is a study that proves peppermint oil scientifically helps hair growths. Whether it will work or not, I don't know but I'm gonna implement it into my regimen.
and where can i get peppermint oil...?
On Amazon would probably be your best. I would say herbal shops but they tend to be more expensive. You also have to make sure it's diluted so you may have to buy a carrier oil too. A lot of people mention Rosemary oil as well. Does anyone have anymore advice? I stopped using growth aids on my roots ages ago so I'm not really sure about the current trends.
I just rub into my scalp. There are different ways you can use it; as a prepoo, mixed in your dc, rubbing in before a scalp massage... It depends on what works for your hair and lifestyle.
You can use it as many times as you want. As long as it's diluted then it's okay. From my experience of making my own lotions years ago the safe guideline is usually 1 ml per 100 ml. Any more than that and you won't be able to use it as often as it can cause irritation and allergies. A pre made one is probably the safest best. Does she not have guidelines on how to use it?
I wrapped it up & went to bed thinking that it always feels better in the morning after, right? (Well at least mine usually does). I woke up to man sized brillo pads instead of baby brillo pads!! 
I applied every type of moisturizer that I have in my house, to my hair & was struggling with my little bun this morning for church!! Surprisingly, even my S Curl couldn't get it right. So it appears that the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Hair Masque was not all that hydrating for my hair.
Friday, I co-washed for the first time in like 2 years & my hair was super soft with tons of slip. Then I applied the Hair Masque & put on a conditioning cap. I didn't sit under the hair dryer & chose to just let it sit because I had work to do. When I rinsed the DC out, my hair was tangled & daggone near matted right in the center of my head where my hair is the coarsest. It was dry ALL OVER & my ends feel like little brillo pads!! I put some leave-in & air dried it in 2 ponytails. It was still super dry so I attempted to M/S & the moisturizer was disappearing as soon as it hit my hair!
I looked at the ingredients for that DC before I got to the register & saw something about some rice protein or something or another but I figured that it would only be a "small" amount of protein since apparently it is supposed to be a hydrating masque. I guess it was just enough protein to piss my hair off since I'd already done a protein DC last week. Looks like I'll be doing moisturizing DC's for the next few weeks. I'll revisit this one with some Olive oil in it maybe next month since I don't like to waste my money.
