question: ok i want to retain all my growth, do yall think i can do that if i wear braid outs all the time or should i keep my hair in individual braids and twists like i been doing to retain? sometimes i just wanna wear my hair out but i dont wanna look up in two years with the same amount of hair lol.
 
If yall don't see me for a few days we have a blizzard coming:look: and last year my lines froze. So if you don't hear from me im buried in my house:lachen:.

It depends on how your hair does when its out. My hair has coil gangs:lachen:and likes to merge with their group so leaving my hair out for a long period of time is a no no, i can go a day or two at the most. If you don't have alot of problems with tangling you can try it a few days at a time and see how your hair does. I don't want to just say go on and do it but you know your hair.:yep:

my hair only tangles if i do a wash and go and then dont braid my hair at night. trying to do something with it the next day is the issue lol. but other than that i dont get many tangles. but just to be on the safe side i am going to wear a braid out this week and then go right back to my braids. i like not touching my hair for a week at a time anyway.
lol @ coil gangs:lachen:

wow really???? i hope you dont get snowed in(unless you want to :look: lol). ya know, for work purposes lol.
 
Che, I say hide that right now, when you have the length then you can do all the styles and have fun with your hair. Right now it's about attaining a goal :yep:

Awwww, well be safe, stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary cuz you know people lose their darn minds at the sight of rain or snow, and keep warm with DH and the baby (lol @ me calling her a baby and she's 5 :rolleyes:)

Girl it seems like it, every since i went natural my hair grows in groups like a gang.:lachen:You'd think that each individual hair is doing its thing but not with me the front, back and middle have thier own groups or what some folks call clumping, even if i seperate my hair in puff or style the hair always finds its group like one big piece of hair. I would have no problem starting locs.

Thanks lamara i will, im going to the store in a few hours because i know its a bunch of people out trying to get supplies, its only down the street so im not in hurry. And she is still mama's baby:grin:.
 
I got my JBCO today.

I also got a UPS slip that two packages came for me. Now, I know where ONE of them is from, but I don't know about this 2nd package... and it says "Chino La" or something like that. Hm...
 
I just looked up the UPS... it's 5 lbs and coming from Canada. :confused:

ETA: I just remembered my mother ordered something too. That might be it.

Uh... Yeah...Me Too! I will take that deep dark secret to Da' Grave.:lachen:

:giggle: me too. I cheat anyway. I may have 1 showing in the pic but 5 more in a drawer somewhere.

I picked up my Qhemet & Ayurnatural from the condo office today and when I got home my stuff from Sunshine was in my mailbox. It was like it's Christmas already :grin:.

Let me tell you this whipped shea butter from Sunshine is so creamy :lick:. I knew when I bought Coconut Confidence from her although I didn't like the smell that if she made scented shea butter I would go crazy :spinning:. I got Rise & Shine and Hello Sweet Thang. Rise & Shine I can't really smell anything but it doesn't smell like shea butter (a good thing) and I really like the smell of Hello Sweet Thang. Ya'll know I am terrible with describing scents. Here is a link to her blog which describes the scents: www.naturalhairnaturalproducts.com.

What About Anita Grant?:look:

ha that aint no staple. even if it gives me the moisture i have been craving my whole life, thats a splurge :lachen:. it maight be a splurge that i always run to once or twice a year and i guess in that scence it is a staple. but its not the kind of product that i will always have in stock lmao.

speaking of great moisture. i just felt my hair and it is so soft and fluffy. the back came out beautiful and the front is lacking the same definition but i still like it. i just think the front braids need to be smaller since i have heat damage and need the extra definition there. but the oyin whipped pudding and shine and define mix is amazing. talk about soft hair :lick:

:lachen:hahaha that was for my benefit too. because i just KNEW the shine and define would make my hair hard. boy did it surprise me.
i am happy to say that i have not come across too many products that didnt give me a good amount of moisture or didnt do what it said it would. i have had great success with products this far.:yep:

Did you order something from someone recently?
Click to expand...

Nope, nothing. I have four things I'm waiting to get, though. One of them is the other package. The second just shipped today, so it can't be here already. The third hasn't been shipped yet and the fourth are show tickets and those definitely aren't 5 lbs.

I just asked my mom if she ordered anything. She said what she did order was out of stock and hadn't shipped yet.

I hate the suspense! I must knowww!

ETA: It's Ontario, California, not Ontario, Canada. Huh. You learn new things everyday!

lmao. i find that the left side of my hair tangles wayyyyy more than the right. it also doesnt absorb product the smae way too but i dont have coil gangs though:lachen:. but keeping the hair in braids really help.
