Starting My Hair Care Journey...For Real This Time!

[MzLady78]

She must have taken it down but she has it. I've viewed it several times.


I believe MzL knows her hair type and what her problem areas are?

Maybe you need to spend a little time over her in the HCT and PRD sub-forum (said with love). I think the hide your hair chan would be good since you are already doing that. But you need to figure out what your hair likes so that you can know what to do to maintain and care for your length.

I think if your braided your hair and moisturized it daily that would help. I know you have a problem with the front so maybe you could loosely braid the front.

Just throwing somethings out there. Let me know when to shut up.

Girl please! I'll take hair tips from you all day!

You checked my fotki several times?? Wasn't nothin' in it!!!

@ whip- I took it down when Nikos started playing Bill the Butcher with the siggys, LOL.

All I had were pics of all the different styles I've had through the years and what was supposed to be the begining of me charting the growth of my hairline using BT.

Cool!

Are you baggying underneath? If so, what are you using?

No I'm not baggying, I don't think my hair likes bagging to much.

Tonight I just bought a donut bun ring thingy and some fake hair, I am going to attempt to make me a donut but to wear.

I sure did!

My current wig is about APL and I really like it. So that's my goal- well that and thicking up my hairline.

I pretty much just wash it once a week. I'm working on a regimen but I want to keep it as simple as possible.

I gotcha. My hair grew the fastest when I kept it simple. Keep me posted.

Over 6000 posts on a hair forum (even though it was MOSTLY in OT) and....ok I'll shut up now

Hey why not just do a wash and DC once a week (alternate protein and moisture), oil your hairline with some sulphur mix (BT, MTG, Sulphur 8,your mix- girl I know you've got one of those). Like Whip said you have your half weave so all you have to do is put some leave in (Mango butter? sealed with very little JBCO) on your ends everynight tie up your scarf/bonnet and go to bed. Tres simple. If you really feel like maxing out take some vits MSM, biotin or just a multi with Vitamin C. Looking forward to your updates girl

LMAO @ the bolded.

Crazy, right. Yep, I can run my mouth, that's for sure!

But yeah, I like your suggestions, nice and simple.

Maybe you can be a regimen jacker like me.
You know, just find someone who's hair that you like and is similiar to yours and do what they do.
I jacked Isis when i started (i was still lurking at the time) and my hair took off. I wish i had pics of my starting point though

 

[missty1029]

I know how you feel. I m new new here so its like where to start and me I need to keep it simple. I can go two to three weeks without combing my hair easy out of laziness!!!! But I decided to tackle what I know the major problem is, dryness. Reasearched that and will start DC every week! If your hair is healthy it will grow! Oh and I need to focus on my edges too so I like hothair's regime very much!!!!!

I wish you lots of luck girl just keep coming here and seeing all the beautiful hair will keep you motivated!!!!

MzLady78,

Glad you are admitting to slacking, because I've been meaning to get serious a long time ago too. I too need to focus more in this forum as opposed to OT/ET.

OT:It's funny how everybody from OT/ET forum is in this thread.

Anyway, good luck to you!

Welcome to your hair care journey, Mzlady! I'm sure with lots of TLC your hair will really take off. I've been keeping heat off of my hair and making sure to deep condition on the regular and my hair has grown significantly during the past year. And people are now starting to really take notice. I'm sure you'll look up in a few months and almost feel like you have a whole new head of hair.
