Waist Length 2012 Challenge

I think I may try something different this weekend when I work my promo gigs. Might try to put my curly weave in a cute bun with a headband on. Hmmm...

I am in the military also Lou Lou but I wear a wig 80 percent of the time and bun the other 20 percent of the time. My bun looks a mess by the of day. I think it will look better once my hair gets longer but these doggon layers keep poking out of my bun. What do you use to lay your hair down while it is in a bun?

My bun is pretty neat, because I use the donut... To lay down, I use Jane Carter Solution Nourish and Shine/EVCO or Trader's Joe's conditioner and some water as a leave-in, put a scraf on that bad baby, and that does the trick. My hair looks pretty slick when I take my scarf off. I have many products that I use though. I'm a PJ...
 
Random Annoucement: I just received my JBCO today woot!!!!! :pulpdance:
now im nervous as how to use it excatly......
and when i say "how to use it" i mean...do I just apply it straight? or do I mix or dilute it with something before applying it :ohwell:

I apply my straight without dilution with an applicator bottle, and then massage my scalp...

Glad to see you are still rocking the sew in lady. I have cornrows in for under my wig. I have been going for a week and would like to keep them in for 6 weeks. We will see.

Thanks lady. I will try that next but that daggon beret is a disaster for my hair.

Yeah D.Lisha..I'm happy for you. I just put mine on.

The best way to apply coconut oil to your hair is immediately after a shower or bath, when the hair is still wet. It should not still be dripping wet, but more than slightly damp.

It doesn't matter whether the coconut oil is liquid or solid (pure coconut oil solidifies at less than 76 degrees F, but it's still perfectly good).

Take a small amount (about a half teaspoon for long hair, less for shorter hair) and put it in your palm. Rub your hands together and begin the application at the ends of your wet hair, using your oily fingers to distribute it evenly and lightly.

The trick is to use just enough so that the oil will penetrate the hair, without leaving an oily or greasy look. Use more at the ends, less in the middle and very little, if any at the roots.

Don’t use any oil near the roots if you want to avoid the greasy look.

Although the molecular structure of coconut oil is perfect for penetrating inside the hair shaft, and works beautifully with the natural hair proteins, its still easy to go overboard with the application, and end up with oily hair.

If you’ve applied enough to make the hair look oily, the only way to remove it is to re-wash the hair.

I want to keep the braids for 10 weeks but change the hair out in 5 weeks. I like the curl but its too much maintenance. Detangling is a FOOL! :perplexed
 
I really needed that info on coconut oil. I am very heavy handed and had to find out the hard way.:grin: I have to see my hair oily, instead of being lighthanded. I guess I will just have to stick with my evoo, the co is causing me complications.:yep: but I like it.
 
Glad to see everyone so chipper and ready to go in this thread. I went out and purchased some new larger rollers, a few products with ceramides (I gave my husband the list from LHCF and he found products the store owner didn't know he had):grin: and plan to dc, rollerset and take some pictures tomorrow before church for a fitness group I'm a part of.

Have a successful, retentive week everyone!

LOLOLOLOL, YOu need to stop, I don't see it's growing. I am going through a stage right now. I feel it is growing Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo Slow. :)

Oh well If I am not there by June of next year (2011) I am joining :) Here is my spot. LOL! I just don't want to get hurt with feet up in here lol. :buttkick:
 
The coconut info helped me too. I usually apply it to damp hair but last night I tried applying it to dry twists on one side of my head and damp twists on the other. I'm thinking it penetrates the hair shaft better on damp hair? I'll take the twists out in a few dys and see...
 
D.Lisha said:

Alright, Ms D. Lisha

This is what I came up with. I went out and bought some. Don't ask me why but I'm going to start using this when I'm not using my coconut oil.

HOW TO APPLY HAIR OIL

  • Before shampooing your hair, apply oil on the scalp or in your hair. For this, first part your hair in many parts and then apply oil with help of cotton.
  • It is necessary to apply oil on the scalp because for the right movements of massage, the scalp is required to be oily. After this, wash your hair with the help of a shampoo.
  • For removing the oil from your hair, don't use soap before shampooing.
HAIR OIL SHOULD BE APPLIED OR NOT

  • Oil acts as a very good conditioner for hair. It forms a protective layer over the hair. Thus, it is necessary to apply oil.
  • It becomes easy to comb the hair when oil is applied in the hair, and hair does not tangle.
HOME MADE CONDITIONER

  • Take 1 glass water and add 1 tsp honey to it. Now apply it to the hair. This acts as a leave-in conditioner so just leave it applied.
  • Apply the leave-in conditioner in oily hair. In the sieved water of tea leaves, add the juice of 1 lemon. Now apply it on the scalp and hair and do not wash it with water.
  • Massage the normal hair with coconut oil. Beat 1 egg in 2 tsp coconut oil, massage it on the hair and then wash it after 20 minutes.

:grin::grin: I'm glad this helped you all. I actually tried this last night and it did feel like the coconut was not just sitting on top of my hair.

Look forward to seeing your pictures big. It's nothing like a supportive husband. :yep:
 
soldierforhair said:
Well let us know and take pictures. What type of hair are you thinking about next?
Click to expand...

I usually stick with Zury. It blends with my hair better and it SO easy to take care of. That's the hair I usually rock with my sew-ins and the hair lasts longer than the braids :lachen:
 
I am checking in. I have been in this weave since the beginning of July and I am ready to take it out. I think I am next week cause its hella loose and I miss my hair. The only thing is I am about 45 weeks post relaxer going for about 60 something and I get sick of dealing with my hair within 2 weeks of it being out.

Oh well I know its healthy cause I went to get a trim right before puttng it up and the stylist said .5 in would be needed just to even it up. I dont care about that since its hidden so she just did a very light dusting to refresh my ends. I hadent had a trim since Sept of last year and she was shocked at how healthy my ends were.

Oh as soon as I straighten my hair I will be posting a pic for the challenge.


STARTING PIC IS IN AVATAR

JJ, you're already just a sneeze away from WL now!:yep:

Grow you give me too much credit... Remember I was scalped.

I am a cough, sneeze, migrane headache, flu, and a sinus cold away.
 
:peek2:

Hi ladies! Coming in here to be nosy :look: and wish you much success on your way to WL. Just stay motivated and continue to care for your hair and you will make it. I will be lurking in here from time to time.

Good luck to you all. *sprinkles hair growing dust* :fairy:
 
Sooo... Yesterday, I saturated my hair with ORS replenishing conditioner (LOVE). It pretty much stayed in my hair for hours with a plastic cap covering it. Rinsed, air dried, and applied Mizani H20 nighttime, and H20 conditioning hairdress. Put some ragedy twist in my hair, satin scarf.... Woke up this morning, and my hair is very soft and manageable. Rub a little EVCO while taking out the twist for style.
 
I'm checking in just to say happy hair growing to all of you. I can't wait to see progress pics. I grew my hair long by keeping it simple and low manipulation. Less is more.

I will also continue visiting this thread from time to time to see how everyone is progressing. May all of you have great success in achieving waist length hair (you can do it :grin:).
