How long after the BC would you say you see more natural curl clumping and definition? You can see some in my sig pic, but its kind of all over the place. Also as I'm finding the few pieces of relaxed ends and snip them off, its starting to look less bushy and more defined in more areas.

About 2 months after. The first month, I couldn't do a wash & go to save my life. Partly because all my relaxed ends weren't gone, but mostly because I still had dry hair.

Roux don't be scurred! I had so much fun with my blown out hair! It's like a whole new head of hair you never knew you had. At least it was like that for me since my hair is on the thin side but blowing it out made it look huge!! Just use a heat protectant and warm/cool temp.

I haven't posted in this thread for forever!
I've been lurking every now and then, and it's so good to see everyone's steady progress. I actually feel proud of you all. :look:

A while back I straightened my hair and it looked full and beautiful, but when I grabbed an extra mirror I was shocked to see I suffered a setback. :sad:
I had been so busy studying I pretty much neglected my hair (but I thought since I was bunning, I should've been fine), and had gotten into the habit of having my right hand holding a mouse or a pen en my left hand playing with my hair.
The left part of the back of my hair was so broken and noticeably shorter than the rest. :sad:

Since it was already straight I decided to cut it even and start fresh. I'm still at APL and I guess I'm glad for that, but the healthy part of my hair was already BSL before I cut.

The dumber part is that I started to neglect my hair even more because I was so annoyed with it all.

It took me a while, but I've gone back to wearing my hair out again and thinking it's cute. :look::drunk:

No pitchas??! :sad:
 
I took this pic last night just out of boredom and liked how thick my hair looks. Ignore the part of my edges that look naked. The hair was curled up together lol

Hi all,

I did an updo with side curls this morning. I rolled/tucked/pinned the back and did a twist and curl with white rods for the side portion.

Girl... :lol:

Ok, I wasn't expecting to post these. So no length check or shot from the back. Also, I bantu knotted my hair right after flat ironing for a wavy/curly look. I was sooo over length!

And of course I had to make funny faces.

I don't know why I thought you'd let me pass on through without posting pics! So here's just a few. :lol:

*ehum*

And here I pulled half of it up.. My hair is actually very thin, so I was loving the light and fluffiness!

And here's my hair yesterday (as it pretty much looks every day).

OMG why didn't anyone tell me about making puffs with a knee high???? I swear all this time I was thinking I was ultra bald headed seeing other naturals with hair shorter than mine getting all these great looking puffs.

and when I was in walmart this lady smiled at me and my daughter while on the phone in the accessories aisle and said that she just saw a woman with pretty natural hair and regretted relaxing! I was shocked.

Chile where you been? We talked about this a couple of times in this thread. There was also a seperate thread that talked about it. http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=532125&highlight=what+do+you+use+to+make+puffs
I also use a cut off leg on a pair of pantyhose.

Nice when you get comments out the blue like the one you got in Walmart. Makes you feel like you doing something right huh?
 
Hola yall! hope all is well, i missed my 5 month anniversary date which was the 13th of April. I am still in these mini twists and i am ready to take them out so that i can wash it and do a twist out, which is a fave style of mine. I will be geting a weave installed hopefully soon within the nect couple of weeks.

my finger is injured and i need to take these twists out soon because every now n again i have to pull them apart from the roots because thats where they seem to like to loc at first. o_O. But hopefully i can do it this weekend coming up, it will be 4 weeks which is enough for me. i trimmed about a 1/4 in becasue the ends were so dry n had ssk.

my twists are shrunken completely which is fine, it has more weight to it now. i am still looking for more styles to try on mini twists but i think i will only do them mayb 4 times out the year, its too time consuming for me and i cant keep them in no more than 4 weeks at a time.

im also considering putting my yarn braids back in, since it lasted 2 months and it looked like locks, AND everybody keeps asking me if im going to loc my hair, so i might give em what they want during the summer. lol

HHG!!!
