:busted:Lol I just went and did a pull check on my back section before I saw this post. You'd be scolding me:naughty::spank: for being here me too if you saw it but I'm gonna be like:catfight: :hug2:. I am here for the majority of my hair. That is the front and crown- not yet SL. When I measured at the start of the session, the upper sections measured between 5-7 inches.

I have some crazy layering going on and this is also where I had my bald spots. In Feb I did trim to try and create a better shape (we'll call it mullet wrangling) as my nape and lower sides are scraping APL.

You can stay until June but then you have to move on somewhere. I'm giving you notice.
 
Ok @faithVA lol I can see you are trying to :hammer: some sense into me. Looks like my days here are numbered:nervous2: (I really do hope so too). Its enough time for me to get an inch or so. But still the majority of my hair right now is NL so I'm not claiming APL until somewhere else (anywhere) other than my nape and bits, touches it.
*(Sings) And I am telling you
I'm not going...

I came in here and still forgot to post my progress pic. I only took one comparison pic. My hair is starting to grow in that weird little mullet again. But this time I'm going to leave it and let the rest of my hair do what it does. I feel like my hair would look different if the nape area wasn't such a mess. I'm working on it though. Here it is. No big dif other than the hair in the middle growing down my neck. Lol First set is this month on the left and December on the right. The second pic is this month on the left and last month on the right. I also did a pretty nice trim and my hair doesn't look all that different so at least I'm getting better at not cutting off all my progress.

Maybe I got a growth spurt that I didn't notice. I washed my hair in 3 sections tonight which I've never done. I was hoping to go from washing in 6 to washing in 4. I never even thought to wash in 3 sections.

It's like that. Just creeps up on you. Lol
 
Tonight I used the V05 clarifying conditioner. I typically dislike V05 products but figured I would see what the clarifying conditioner is like. I'm letting my hair air dry now. I'm going to try applying my leave-in on damp hair. And then apply a layer on top of it. I'm not sure if I'm doing flat twist or doing twist or braids for a twist out or braid out. :perplexed:

Carols daughter shampoo and conditioner suck! I got the sulfate free and conditioner. Felt waxy and just sat on top of my hair.

Yeah it's hard to find a good Carol's daughter product. It must work for somebody. I saw some products in Kroger and was tempted to pick it up but I resisted.
 
@shortdub78 @faithVA carols daughter used to be my staple. When I used to weave my hair regularly and before I found the hair boards I used to use it faithfully. Mostly the Tui(?) line. When I got serious about my hair I noticed it wasn't ruining my hair but it wasn't really doing anything for my hair either. I wonder how she's still so popular when people don't like the products.

Maybe it's like Shea Moisture. You either love them or hate them.

I liked the Mimosa hair honey but I am way to heavy handed and I really don't think I need a grease at the moment. When I figure out how to use it I may try it again. I wanted to try the Marguerites Magic for twist outs but since I rarely wear my hair out I can't justify it. I have too many products already. :yep:
 
@jennifer30
What is going on with your hair right now and what is your current length? We are gonna be hair buddies!
What is your Reggie?
Mine is simple. If I don't twist my hair, I cowash a few times a week if I don't use gel.
For cowash I use Suave Naturals almond and shea. I use Oyin handmade hair dew, juices and berries, and boing.
My hair is very coily, so I just run my fingers through it quickly, brush the baby hairs, and keep it moving.
I learned oil for me isn't necessary. My hair needs moisture. Oil sits on top and doesn't allow anything to get in, or get out.
I shampoo weekly with a whatever I have on hand, so it could be a sulfate, or non sulfate. I use a Dominican conditioner to dc.
For twists, I use hair dew and burnt sugar pomade.
I have to detangle with a comb. Once it gets longer, I may or may not finger detangle first with coconut oil. This is my hair this morning. Nothing special going on. Just so you can see my texture and shrinkage.
