This was my hair, yesterday. I had to put it in twists to stretch it.



Lately I've been wiggin it during the week and having twists underneath. Then I fro it or twist out on the weekends. I'm still not able to get a defined twist out, but I'm workin on it.
 
I finally Did two strand twist, ladies I have arrived. Gosh it took a minute to do though. But I know I'll do them again, I'm not speakin to my fro just yet. She needs time to think about what she did.
 
I am getting a new set of cornrows tomorrow. I plan on keeping them for 4-6 weeks under my wig.

DC 1x a week
cowash 1x a week
moisturize daily
 
My first hair milestone has been reached: ability to wear a headband.

My second milestone will be palm rolls/comb coils. :grin:
 
I have a question ladies. What are you doing to your hair at night, how are you protecting it at night?
 
I do it too now. I wear a wig during the day for work. Heres part of my daily regi for when I get home and on weekends...I co-wash, moisturize my scalp (peppermint oil, castor oil, jojoba, etc.), moisturize my hair (jojoba oil, coconut oil, etc.) then put a shower cap on and a wig cap over it. I keep the caps on all night. When I wake up, my hair is wet, soft and very moisturized. For work the next day, I just take my caps off, put my wig cap back on, and throw on my lacefront. When i get home, I work out then go back to my regi. This keeps the hair moisturized and helps retain length. It also keeps my hands out my hair.

Okay here's my updated reggie and pic:

Poo: Once a week with At One Hydrating Shampoo
Co-Wash: 3 days At One Hydrating Conditioner
DC: 2x a week with Lustrasilk Cholsterol Treatment with added Rosemary, Lavendar, and Olive Oil
Growth Aid: Essential oil blend with base of grapeseed and jojoba oil
Moisture: Hawaiian Silky 14-in-1

I use the baggy method on weekends when I know that I'm not leaving the house. It's soo good for my hair, and easy for those lazy days!

That mask was too messy - it felt great after, but that was just a bit much for me. I love it for my face though. :)

I hardly ever baggy, the few times that I did I used silk elements conditioner, another time I used coconut oil. I can't get comfortable with that plastic. I just DC with the bag and a turbie twistie for @ least an hour. Rinse apply leave in seal and @ nite put on my satin bonnet.
 
What i'm doing now, as i'm in the Juice Challenge so apply the juice in my hair to moisrurize and then i do some bantu knots on it. The hair feels so moiturized and soft the next day. i'm love with that.

Also the hair looks shiny *__*
 
As you know Taina, I am using the juice too. So right now since I am in twist I just put a du-rag on for tonight. But normally I juice, plait, put on a shower cap, then silk bonnet.
