. I detangle, moisturize, then cover it with a bonnet before I go to bed but it still ends up with knots 
erplexed.
my shower filter has been a LIFESAVER
for my hair and my skin. there is a major difference in softness of hair and so much less dry skin since i've been using it for six months. the only reason i know how long it's been is because i set up an auto renewal on my credit card to replace the filter at the six month time and the new filter came about a month ago. i can't be trusted to remember---LOL. i can hardly wait to see what happens to my skin this winter. i'm hoping and expecting not to have to scrub dead and dry skin as often (practically three times per week) since i won't have all those deadly city water chemicals that are in my hard water!! all summer i have not HAD to scrub although i did once per month.
So i mixed 1/2 cup of AVJ with the remaining S-Curl. I was hoping it would thin it out but it didn't. I put 1/2 cup of the mix on my hair to try to remoisturize it.
Congrats @SouthernStunner! Its a whole new wonderful world! Welcome!
@faithVA and @Cruzankink I personally would be THRILLED to do mini twists. I just get so friggin annoyed with being the first and only blaack woman in this 15year, 100 person company. The slightest change in my hair and it literally takes weeks for these white ppl to stop gawking and asking dumbass questions. I stopped the wigs a year ago this month and they were floored at my 'fro. 2weeks of slapping hands away. Like I'm a circus freak! This is san francisco, not bumfruckegypt either!
If it werent for that, id be doin all kinds of stuff with my natural. Id love to try mini twists and braids, stuffed twists, my wigs, huge phoney buns and tails. I could bring it! just hate feeling like an exotic fish in a tank everytime I do.
Dang. Sorry. How'd that turn into a rant?
Hate me because I'm beautiful 
People will stare and I will turn around and smile at them and give them, yeah I know I'm beautiful, check me out look 
Good place to be. I know you will find plenty of styles that you like.
I try to make it look decent but it usually looks like I rolled right out of bed I was glad when my twist were finally long enough to bun because it did look better.
At your length, you can do puffs, twists, flat twists, banded fros, rod sets, roller sets, etc. etc. and put them in rotation.
How many inches do you have do you know?
I think I have six inches of hair. Those are some great ideas. I saw a banded fro on a lady this week end that looked so nice. I am going to try that for a function tomorrow.
Will have to work on a puff too, see if I can get it stretched enough to puff. Roller and rod sets, humm, I will have to you tube those for some ideas. It is time to break out the flat twist again. Thanks @faithVA I hadn't thought of any of those ideas, but I love them all.

If you feel that mini-twist will rock the boat, then don't do it. Trust me, if I were in your situation, I too would seriously consider the impact a simple hairdo would have in my work environment. However, if you want to try various do's but are unsure how it would be accepted, try the strategy I call "planting the seed". Well guys I am getting to the end of my TWA stage, I think this qualifies as a baby afro.
This BC has been great, my hair is staying healthy. the length increases have been slow because I am constantly trimming. Still I am very proud of my short hair, and I get a lot of compliments.
PS: I just did a video asking about my wig, and a lot of guys said they like my short hair better. Isn't that sweet. TWA's rock!

Thank you @Cruzankink. Yes, these crazy white folk gotta be eased into stuff. They freak, I pay for it.@DarkJoy Girl hang in there.
Make some twist or what ever your potential "do" is but just do a small section. After you've worn this "do" for whatever period, go back to your regular "do." Then later on comeback to the potential "do" but add more. So on and so forth, until you are able to fully rock the look you want. That way your colleagues can get comfortable with the look w/o it being such a shock.
). I'll skip the rollers next time. TOO flat. Going out with friends after work so maybe I'll spritz with tea and let it revert a little.
lisanaturally said:Does anybody know of a good gel to use on my hair? I've tried FOTE aloe Vera gel but it dries my hair out too much. TIA
. Gel first ended up being the best for my hair--it weighs it down and gives it some length-time PLUS no reversion. Yes, it's crunchy but I don't have no one who's gonna be running his fangers through it anytime soon .
