Whats in your homemade cholestoral mix? Sorry to hear, that sounds like a nasty cut.
Question: I want to try more long term protective styles...like 4 - 6 weeks instead of 7 - 10 days. My hair always gets ratty and tangly when I try though. This happens especially if I co-wash at all. I don't have to co-wash, but I would like to once a week because I use sulfur oil and I workout 3 - 4x a week.
I want to try something like this youtuber. My curl pattern and texture is finer/looser than hers, so I'm not sure if it will work. My daughter on the other hand has hair just like hers and her hair thrives in mini twists...and they last so long even with cowashing.

ETA: My texture/pattern is more like this girl's, especially the front of her hair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iywnt4ARSQ

Welp. I cut through my thumb while prepping veggies for dinner tonight, so the braids I wore all week are going to have to soldier through for a couple more weeks until my thumb heals and the nail grows back in. :-/
Braids are... not fresh.

They're also not my fave style because I feel like it makes my hair look thin and my head look gigantic. But that might just be a personal bighead problem.
Gonna DC overnight with homemade cholesterol mix. Then cowash tomorrow morning with one of my beloved VO5s, m&s, and band overnight. Hopefully it's acceptable-looking enough to show my face at work.
**Pardon the pic quality. I usually make my hubby do these because I suck.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Putting your braids up as a previous poster said helps. If you put them on perm rods and give them some curl they also tend to look better.
Duchess007 , I'm sorry to hear about your finger. That sounds terrible ! Most of the time I feel the same way about my braids as you do. They look so thin, and I got a big ole forehead, so the combo looks a little Smeagol-ish .
Everytime I slather my hair with oil at night and wash my hair the next morning, I hate every bottle of conditioner or DC I have ever bought. I kept my hair in the 4 braids I put in last night, poo'd with GF Pure Clean, and then detangled and twisted 1 braid at a time just using oil. When I got done, I looked at my 2 new tubs of gel, new bottle of Aussie Moist, Giovanni condish, and EverSleek cowash, and was so mad!! I'm not buying anymore hair products. Knowing how well oil, bananas, molasses and ACV takes care of all of my hair needs, I can't even fully enjoy the products I do have because they just feel like wasted money.
Duchess007 damn that cut sounds bad. That happened to me before. Nearly sliced off the tip of my thumb.
Your mixes sound so yummy. Oh and just pin up your braids into a style. That is why I don't wear braids unless they are extensions.
so i have learned that if i am around the SO and i start massaging my scalp he will just take over without even thinking about it. i think its an unconcious action on his part, but ill take it. best scalp massages ever
