Ms. Nobody
Well here are my updates.my progress isn't steallar because i have been going through some issues with my hair. feel free to just look at the pics or you can read if you want. some pics you may have seen already... and excuse my back! i had the wore case of bacne this summer
i will probably reopen my fotki and post the pics there too.
if you didnt know already i have been heat training my hair for about a year or so.i dont have a fancy regimen. i would just press it with pressing oil once a month and wear a textured style until the next press.
In March '11 i gave myself a hair cut
i have an issue with my hair being thin at the middle of my nape.
i began to rollerset my hair as a new style
when it wasnt rollerset i wore it straight. i made some progress after 2 months
i rareley wear it "naturally" curly.too much work! here is is fully dry after leaving in a bottle of conditioner
.
for the most part though i enjoy wearing my hair straightned and curled like so
the heat started to roll around and i had to find someway to wear my hair. this is the last straightening i did before i stopped straightening my hair. i was retaining length and all i did was wear my hair loose whether straight or in a rollerset.
now around this point i was getting fed up with my hair. i was contemplating a relaxer. i decided against it(after a stern talking to by many friends and family
) and decided maybe i needed to try to embrace my hair texture a bit.
rollersets and bantu knot outs became my main style
rodset
bantu knot out
my issue was that they would shrink terribly in the humidity.
now i like the shrunken look alot. it reminded me of when i used to have a twa. but the tangles were a BEAST. eventually i got sick of having to detangle my matted rollerset twa every 3-4 days.
so i tried to do braid outs but they kept coming out weird and very undefined.
i tried to do the curly look but hated it. i used gel here and i didnt even let it dry all the way.
this led to my wet bun addiciton.
for every style fair i would get frustrated and put it into a wet bun
it eventually became a permananet fixture in my hair. i mean i just left it there for weeks. and did some other questionable practices that would make yall go
oneday when i decided to finally wash my hair i noticed it was looking thin especially on the left side so i decided to try and start doing my hair right again and put in some braids with the intention of growing out the broken parts.
i wore them when i went on vacation. i hated these braids! i felt they didnt look right on me at all. alot of people like them though.
after my vaycay i began to take them out. after a while i had to go to work so i needed a style for inbetween. so i went back to my trusty bun
that bun stayed in longer than it should have
i actually met empressri while wearing this style.
after the braids i wore it in the bun for a while then i decided to try another style. so i went back to my old favorite style. Twists!
i used extention hair and they were so thick. i tried to curl them but the curls fell out. so i put them into an updo.
it was uncofmortable to sleep in. and they frizzed terribly in a few days. i took them out at did mini twists with my real hair. i hated them and tried to curl them for some style.
i didnt care for the look but other people seemed to like it.
after ALLADAT i was very through with my hair. i tried to straighten it and it poofed up as soon as the heating tool was removed from my hair. that send me over the edge. so i wet my straight/poofy mess hair and twisted it into this here effortlessly stylish do
then i heavily oiled my scap with castor oil(way too much oil according to my stylistshe had to get a towel to take excess off before we could do anything) and based my perimeter.
then i waited a day and got a relaxer,treatment,rollerset and blowout.my mom was kind and lent me the money when she say how frustrated i was after the straightening mess.
i got texturized with alter ego lineage texturizer although my hair is pretty straight with some wave to it which is what i wanted. i wanted a "texlax" but i didnt know how to tell the stylist that so there was a little issue with getting the message across...
i got an all over trim,she trimmed the thinnest ends off and a reshaping of the bang.when i got home here is how it looked
WTF happned to my ends! i would like to say that its from the NYC rats nibbling on my ends while i nap on the train but i knew that this was the result of my negligence. Bone straight hair doesnt lie.
my hair looks decent in a ponytail
i decided to trim it abit
i dont know if it helped or not. i think i will just leave it be for a while. im very pleased with the length although by LHCF stndards my hair is short(and thin now
). i would prefer a blunt cut though so i will be getting one when i get my next relaxer. hopefully i can be full BSL by the end of the year.
so i just cross wrapped and am leaving it alone
side note. why is my nape so textured after a fresh relaxer? she was smoothing the relaxerdown down like lotion on ashy knees! whats goin on here?!
So thats it. Thanks for looking! and please tell me if the photos are fuzzy because my browser is acting a fool.
also i want to shout out to sunnieb for bumping relaxed threads,Rocky91 for getting me into rollersets Embyra for being supportive, @ everyone in the heat training thread and everyone who had listened to me complain about my hurr for these last couple months.
