TWA Grow Out Challenge 2010

[OhSoOthentik]

^^^^^^^Great Progress!!!

 

[Trini_Chutney]

I'll be wearing a wng today and then I might put my hair in kinky twists (gotta see how many bags of hair I have).

 

[DaR3alM3]

Where did you buy that phony pony? Online or the Bss? It looks cute!

I bought it at the BSS for 5.99 or 2 for 10.99. They come two in a bag for two afro puffs but, when i picked it up the lady asked if i wanted one or both.

Where is everyone? How is everyone doing?

My hair is fine. Its growing in nicely; its thicker than ever and shrinkage is killer! I am super in love with Castor Oil right now. Its the only oil that my hair likes. I'm on the search for a good deep conditioner and moisturizer. Any suggestions?

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

I'm doing pretty good even though I've been slacking on the co-washing. I've blown out on medium heat twice in the last three weeks. I love blow outs but I noticed my grass was a bit drier than I'm used to.... so yeah um.... no lol. I picked up some long aid and while it's moisturizing I HATE the coated feeling on my hair. *sigh*

If it ain't broke

 

[Coil Tresses]

I feel you Luv, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I'm going strong and don't want to EVER, ever, ever, ever BC again in my life!! This has been a humbling experience.

Ladies,

I have a question. At what point is your hair no longer considered to be a TWA?

Ladies,

I have a question. At what point is your hair no longer considered to be a TWA?

I just read an article somewhere that says 3 or more inches ends the "twa" phase and you enter the "small fro" phase.

I'm still here. I'm struggling to accept my TWA twists. I just feel so wearing them. I am going to harden myself because wet hair every day is not going to work with me. The knots just wrap around my hair. I am doing you tube research to help me adjust my point of view.

Hand in there and enjoy this stage that you're in as much as possible. Before you know it you will be shoulder length.

Update

As posted elsewhere...

I took some pictures of my little puff today, and I am pleased to say that it is growing in nicely. I am a little over the halfway mark towards reaching my mini goal of 4 inches. And I can not explain to you how thick my hair is!!

Attached are pics of my stretched puff...Not bad for 4 months...

Does anyone with a twa do dc under the dryer or steamer?

My goal is to keep my hair moist! Boy that's my biggesy challenge right now!

I don't dc under the dryer, but have you tried baggying?

 

[pookaloo83]

I dc under the dryer Shishi.

 

[yaya24]

With my TWA I DC under a steamer. Now that it is longer-- I DC under steam but never with loose hair, always in twists.

 

[OhSoOthentik]

How is everyone doing? I am shoulder length stretched in the back now. Flatironed a few hours ago

[KaramelDiva1978]

Ladies,
You look ssssssooooo GOOD with your growth!!! I was making myself insane trying to style and "watch" my twa grow, so I had it braided up today to keep my sanity . I miss my length and versatility, so I agreed to "play" nice with my hair while its braided and do some styles I can't do with my twa.

Shoot, my most recent pics are 7/4-- with my Independent 'Fro. Oh well, October reveal, here I come.

Keep up the updates, I love the inspiration to stay natural and let my hair do what it does best.

 

[Shay72]

I want to join! I bc'd on July 3rd. I will come back later and post pics of my bc and maybe one from today.

 

[DaR3alM3]

Congrats Luv, you have made progress, I also like the shape of your fro. Okay soooo without further ado here are my update pics. Oh, first my reggie is simple keep this stuff braided up in a style w/o phony ponies. It pool time so I"m constantly washing it while still in braids or plaits. I may DC every two weeks or so. I remember to add a leave in conditioner and seal. I really just started using s-curl so we'll see. It's too hot to remember stuff so yall here is the pics. MY 6 MOS POST BC PIC IN MY SIG WAS MY LAST UPDATE PIC IN APRIL
