Sparkling Flame the maker of Boundless Tresses is midback length now. She hasn't been here for a while and she states she's been super lazy with her hair.
Check out her fotki for better pictures. http://public.fotki.com/Caisha/
I do the banded pony tail and I can pretty much go as long as I want to , with just touch ups, readjusting/tightening the top band and at some point taking it down finger oiling/seperating and putting it right back. any conditioner w/ any oil and brush takes care of my edges smoothlyHmm. How long can you go with leaving in the same braid? I've worn an afro puff for an entire work, but I redo it at least once during the week. And I haven't worn a puff for a long time now.
I have my hair in a banded ponytail today. I'm going to see how long I can wear it. I'll try to go 3 days, which is a long time for me because I don't like sleeping with my hair so tightly constricted.
Because she's permed she can def. get away with one braid. Smooth it down with water, tie it and u can roll out the house...I think Kinikakes used to do this (of course her hair always looked good) but I don't remember for how long.
This is why these hair journeys are so customized.
For example, her regimen sounds like mine (if I actually HAVE one). I wash, detangle, DC and while I can't do just one big braid, I do several. Very uneven, not parted. The last one I was wearing for 2 weeks before I got my hair braided had one medium size twist on the left and on the right that same amount of hair had 3 smaller twists. It doesn't bother me because I bunch up the hair in a bun. The twists make it rather bumpy but hey, it's fine to me. By no means is it 'presentable.' In fact, my biggest problem is when a social activity comes up that I actually WANT to attend. I have to re-strategize how to get my hair look good. And don't let a Mr. stop by OH lawd..."Oh I'm out of town this weekend."
My default good look-ing style is a braid/twist-outs and that takes a lot of time to do. I literally won't go out if I can't do a nice style. But work, I will go any which way. My hair care practices and styles fit my lifestyle. Next year lots of things will change and the styles I wear will have to be more presentable. Let's hope I can keep it healthy too!
wow, she's had great progress!
but... one thing i noticed... oct 08-oct 09 is 12 months. she states that she is 8 months pregnant in oct. 09... could that have aided her growth?
i've seen at least 2 other women (lhcf members) who seem to have had an INSANE amount of growth during their pregnancy.
So i'm wondering, is it just the BT? though i am tempted to get it...![]()
She's made great progress! She says in her progress shot that she would wash once a week, detangle in the shower, and put it in a braid to dry. Then she would leave the braid in until next wash day, which was 10-14 days later. That is indeed a recipe for great growth.
I wonder if she has to work outside the home. How does she keep it presentable for so long? Has anyone else had success with one braid worn for so long?
