Yeah, it would be time-consuming to attempt to do this on a regular and right now, I just don't think I have the energy.

And through the Summa' months Imma still be on that twice a week thang with my Hair.

I know I won't use that Brush twice a week.

Maybe once a month?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Another girl I knew that was a straight haired natural would wash, flat iron, wear it straight for two weeks, then repeat the process again.

@Shay72
This is probably what I would do too.

This. I pretty much don't have the energy or patience to do that on the regular.

@flyygirlll2
I don't either. At least not right now anyway.

So maybe once a month.

 

[flyygirlll2]

This summer I won't even attempt to keep it straight since last summer was an epic fail. I have a wedding to attend sometime in August and I have to figure out what I'm going to do with my hair.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair For now I plan to straighten every 2-3 months or so just to trim/maintain my ends.

@flyygirlll2
Not having to think about "Relaxing" all the time, has made me some-what Hair lazy.

I mean I still wash & condition twice a week, but I don't do much else to it.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair I understand what you mean. I don't really do much to my hair in general. As long as it's well conditioned and is not falling out, I'm ok.

@flyygirlll2
Gurl...You a Mess

That's exactly where I'm at right now.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I need to do a quick Hairveda Inventory out in my Stash. I know I could use a couple things while it's on Sale.

I've been using Cocasta a lot recently, so I may need to reup on that.

I know I have a bottle left. Also a bottle of Jardin and a bottle of Avosoya.

@Beamodel @IDareT'sHair
Ya'll need to up your roller setting game . Another girl I knew that was a straight haired natural would wash, flat iron, wear it straight for two weeks, then repeat the process again.

@Shay72 - does she work out? I sweat a lot as is and living in a hot humid climate, that's easy to do even when not working out. That French Bouffant thread has tempted me a number of times. I even PMed @MileHighDiva but I backed out in the end b/c I don't roller set enough to justify. I probably will regret the decision not to buy down the line.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@divachyk

I wish I could Roller-Set

@toaster Ms. Toaster is tryna' tempt me into learning how.

I'm just now learning how to use this Brush.

I have Zero Skills with Tools & such.

 

[divachyk]

@IDareT'sHair, I hate traditional roller setting because it takes too long. Ponytail roller setting is much quicker although the results are not as good...but it works. But still, I don't do it enough.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

WOW!

I don't have as much HV as I thought.

I only have:
x1 Acai Phyto Berry
x1 Strinillah
x1 Methi Set (Step 1 is open)
x3 Amala Cleanse

x1 Avosoya Oil
x1 Jardin Oil

Just Ordered:

[IDareT'sHair]

I hate traditional roller setting because it takes too long.

@divachyk

[IDareT'sHair]

I think I'll get:
x3 MoistPRO

@IDareT'sHair @divachyk a huge setting pusher! I promise if you practice, you can Get. It. Down.

When I first started it took me over 90 minutes to set my whole head! Within a month or two of setting weekly, I got that down to about 35 minutes. And I can not flat iron or blow dry or cornrow or anything fancy.

But it's definitely something to consider if you're thinking about becoming a straight hair natural. I don't flat iron my roots, but I could if I chose to. It's also great for working out, in my opinion. I can keep my roots straight (ish) by working out in a bun and sleeping in two Bantu knots.

But whatever you ladies choose to do you will (and do) have beautiful hair!

 

[divachyk]

You're so sweet. Thanks @toaster. Now that detangling is becoming easier, it's worth considering. Early on in my transition, it wasn't happening.

 

[bajandoc86]

Happy Easter Weekend ladies!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@toaster @divachyk

I promise to visit it in 2017. Right now I'm tryna' just get use to being Natural.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Heading into 18 months Post.

@divachyk Where are you now?

Also @Beamodel @flyygirlll2 @rileypak We currently have a bunch of transitioners up in here.

@Golden75
Okay I did a search and she may be talking about Ruby Red Beauty Supplies, 3618 Jefferson Davis Highway

@Shay72 thanks. I saw that one on my google search. Wish I put on radar. Wig heaven had tons of wigs but picky mom found nothing. Beauty Full had tons of prods & wigs. Mom found a beautiful wig. I read their prods are priced high online & that statement was correct. SM prods were 10% more than I pay in NY. So nothing for me!

Yes, she does. Very into fitness. She's a PE teacher. Once it would start looking "rough" as she termed it you would see more headbands and buns. I never saw her looking "rough".

@rileypak @Beamodel @flyygirlll2

I was askin' ya'll how many months post are you three. I know @divachyk is 10 weeks ahead of me.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair I'll be 18 months on the 30th. I noticed you said you're 17 months but I thought your last relaxer was only a few days before mine?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair I knew you were 18 months lol. I can't believe in another 6 months we'll be 2 year's post! This has been a lonnnnnnng arse journey though. I don't plan on cutting until sometime next year if I can help it.

@rileypak Congrats on making it over 2 years post! That's awesome
