First time using Miss Jessie's Baby Buttercreme and I like it. My hair has been dry for three days and tight to the scalp. I mist my hair with water and added the Buttercreme, instant moisture. I know it has bad ingredients but my hair is soft, smooth, moisturized and curly.
I see why it's a winner.
The Princess I love her products that I use. They definitely work for me. I use this to rod set my hair and Muy Bien.... I love it!
Got some Nubian twist. January will be 9 months... I'm hopin to to keep up until next May... Probably will keep twist and full head sew ins in. I probably only have a couple of inches left because my hair was so short. Scurf and Jamaican castor oil have been doing wonders. I love those products.
Happy new year and happy natural hair growing in 2013
*big sigh* I peeked into the TWA thread and that helped me decide NOT to cut. I am SO TIRED of the two textures, but I guess I'll be waiting a little longer. Washing is NOT fun, but hair this short is not for me again.
@JJamiah HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I was sick for Christmas.and still sick
I got WEN 5 pack for the holiday and bought lots of Miss Jessies galore for myself
I have an up to four year haitus in my purchasing for hair ability. I have to put a dent in it.![]()
How long do you plan on transitioning?
@JJamiah
Feel better. I'm feeling a sore throat coming on myself. I just got rid of a cold a few weeks ago.
Nice haul! I want to pick up more Wen travel packs (I had a few and put them in with gift bags I made for my personal trainer and counter girl (at the gym). I wanted to do the Miss Jessie's BOGO sale, but I had just spent hundreds of dollars on Shea Moisture and Mixed Chicks, so I passed. Maybe the next time.
Since I'm a slow grower, I expect to transition for 2+ years or when I can put my natural hair into a ponytail, whatever comes first.
i attached some shots of air dried hair so you all can see my texture difference.....i have about 6-8 inches of new growth and 5-6 inches (depending on what section of hair you measure....the middle is longer than the rest) of texlaxed hair remaining.
i tried to get a close up of the roots so you can see the difference in thickness.
there is also a shot of me and DS with my just woke up no makeup air dried overnight hair....y'all 'scuse my hot mess but we were at the ER most of the day yesterday and i am looking real haggard.
please don't quote the pics.
Y'all I had a great time. However I'm going back to the other side-relax. I went to Miami-beautiful time. However my freshly flatiron hair poof up horrible. I then went to the Dominican shop and later that day my hair proofed up again.
I'm going to texlax every six months. I learned so much, six months should be a breeze.
Overall I lasted 10 months.
Well good luck to you all, in doing what works for me and make me happy.
So I've been flat ironing my hair every 2-3 days or so trying to keep it straight for DH, but I need to run and get a sew in or I'm going back to a relaxer!! I have about 4" of unrelaxed hair and its seriously running my life! Lol my buns are frizzy and I got that cottony/nappy/kinky hair so my edges look a fool!!! I went to the gym the other day and it was.... An experience trying to get it into a decent bun!!!! Woooo-sahhhh rant over but this ain't easy!
