Girl I just had to sit still and figure this stuff on my head out. I lurked and posted here and there but I just didn't have much to talk about...I have been spinning my wheels with my hair going nowhere fast.

I finally know the properties of my hair and I know what's causing the issues with my hair so I finally feel like I can get some real progress.

How are you, I see you're relaxed again. How's the baby...big kid?

I'm glad you figured it out. Hang out in here with us until the end of the year.

@faithVA I love it! What products and CF do you use?

Thank you

I'm a little all of the place right now as far as products since this is my first set this fall. I'm also trying to use things up.

But anyway. Shampooed with Creme of Nature. Dcd with Teraveda Organix. Used diluted Creme of Nature leave in.

To set I used Nubian Heritage Foam Wrap and Ion Humidity Serum with the long and wide curlformers.

Most of this I'm trying out for the first time. I usually do my curlformers sets with just water.

No curlformers but thanks to @faithVA think I'll do a flexi rod set to get some stretch.

Can't wait to see it.

I haven't learned to stretch my hair with flexi rods. Maybe when my hair is longer. I used them after my curlformers to hold my set since I can sleep in them. I cannot sleep in curlformers. The ladies who can are amazing. :lol:

I totally understand! I need to get quiet and still too! Yes I relaxed again and it feels good to not have to treat my hair like fine China! Lol
The baby is 3 years old now! He is a piece of work and he is my little buddy! He is extremely attached to me! Lol
 
Wasn't paying attention, made my sections too small and ran out of flexi rods. Lol had to bantu knot the back section. That's ok though because I really wanted the front stretched. Under the dryer I go.
 
My hair held up ok but I didn't feel like fooling with it so it's back in flat twist.

I didn't have a comb at SOs house so I had to use a pen to make my parts. :lol:

Didn't come out the way I wanted and my scalp is sore. I installed the flexis too tight.

Eta: been having trouble uploading pics. Doesn't give me the option to post in the thread only attach and sometimes some people can't see them.

How did you end up wearing it.

I can't believe it's been 3 years already, wow!! I'm sure you made the right decision for you...I can only imagine how FREE you must feel, lol. I did my daughter's hair yesterday and it took extra long for no reason at all. I was tired, pained and pissed because the shampoo I used didn't clean her hair well so I felt like her scalp is still dirty and like I was putting product on dirty hair.
now I have to do it again next weekend to cleanse what didn't get cleaned yesterday, smh.

Thanks for sharing! I do my daughter's CF sets with just leavein, I prefer wrap foam as well but it doesn't have much slip so it takes to long to set

I haven't noticed that it makes a difference. I get the same set whether I use just water, leave in, foam, etc.

I usually don't need much slip as long as my hair is wet and I keep it in separate sections.

I plan to try a few things this fall to see if it matters. If not I will save my money.

I washed my daughter's hair Saturday and it was a job! I had to trim a lot too! I gotta wash and flat iron again for pictures!
 
I took down my flat twist and moisturized with the TGIN Daily Moisturizer. I think I'm going to like this product. I followed it with some type of gel I found at Kroger :shrug: I used my regular parting tool tonight instead of a pen and my parts are definitely straighter. I also took my time and did my twist right.

Yep! prepoo detangle, cleanse, protein treatment, DC, detangle, Curlformers to stretch hair, sit unset dryer, twist and cut ends. Ever since I've gone back nagural l I have neglected her hair so her hair is thinned with splits several inches up the strand. I have to do better!

Have fun doing it all over again for her pictures!
 
Blow drying my hair now this morning. I'm going to curl it today. I will try to maintain with pin curls until next wash day. Gave myself a protein treatment with the aphogee 2 min. I won't need another one until the end of the month, or next month.
 
Hey yall! I finally recovered from homecoming and the untimely news on my uncle's tragic demise...pray for my family.

I'm having trouble uploading pics from my phone. I'll update the post with it once I get home.

Now that the weather is getting colder, I know I have to up my moisture game. Hard to find time to do my hair like I should.
