The Enjoying Our Hair Thread

[Chicoro]

I only realised we could follow one another after I saw you followed me @Chicoro

Like @MzSwift I go into most updated threads for the same reason

But what I would like to know, what is the purpose and function of the 'follow' button? Also, is it now defunct, as in no longer works? So many questions...

@Chicoro your braids look so thick, moisturised and loved on

Thank you! I am TRULY enjoying my hair. I finally embraced my hair and released all expectations or hope for something different, as it relates to breakage and horrible ends.

In fact, I thought it was giving up. I just let my hair be. And somehow things turned around.

In response to being loved unconditionally, my hair has flourished.

Seems like a life lesson, too.

@Chicoro Those are some juicy braids. If I could get my braids to look like that I wear them all the time.

Thank you!

I love my braids. I love my hair. I adore afro-textured hair. I'm obsessed.

To be transparent, these are braids I freshly did on the day I took the photo. They are the prettiest on day 1!

So, here's my hair photo shoot. Or should I say, my braid's photo shoot:

Lubricated, moisturized and THICK from roots to ends! Those look sooooo good. A full barrier against dryness. I love it!

Thank you! They are like ROPES!

These are braids that Queen Shea built. The fenugreek oil and Shea butter provide a tremendous barrier against dryness.

Moisturized, sealed, then put my hair into a bun. My hair felt so heavy. I felt so happy.



(I realized after taking the pic that my ends were sticking out, so I tucked them away.)

Uniform, and pretty. Hair weight is a good signal. Lets you know of gains and that your hair is wraped up in product nutirients! Your twists look great!

What brand of hair shears do you guys buy?

 

[Lylddlebit]

I have used tweezerman for years they are inexpensive and stand the test of time pretty well.
I have a few pair of dark stag shears that I got on sale. They work wonderfully.
I have a lot of Hasami shears(they were on sale). They also work wonderfully.


Mention: I keep a pair of ridicuolously expensive Japanese damascus steel shears on my wish list but I haven't bought any since mid-range shears work pretty well.

I have a pair from Walmart that I use regularly for removing knots when I style my hair out for mini terms. If they're not Goody, they're something equivalent price-wise.

I also have a pair of Equinox International that I was gifted for my bday. I'm not sure if their overall quality, but these are SHARP! I tend to use them when I want to properly trim my hair.
