Hello everyone I went swimming in my wash and go and I need to hurry up and cornrow my hair again. anywho how is everyone else doing.

[Danniquin]

Checking in- Stretching my relaxer until further notice because I need to thicken my hair after a slight set-back from getting a blowout in the hood I think I'm somewhere around 16 weeks post right know. I'm gonna be co-washing and Castor oiling like a mad woman for a while! hahaha

oh yeah I had my first successful co-wash since the start of my journey! I used suave humectant and it was awesoooome! It got all the tangles out and tangles are the thing I thought would be the death of my hair so I'm happy!

 

[MrsIQ]

I'm stretching until at least Christmas. Hoping that Skala will get me through the next few months!

 

[Chocolatelove2010]

Count me in.

I'd love to achieve that

Welcome to our new members, and hello to everyone! I am enjoying my 2 strand flat twists and I'm hopeful they'll survive tonight's co-wash. I stopped by the BSS for a nozzle tipped bottle to pour my diluted conditioner through tonight and found myself picking up a "few" more products. I may be becoming a pj....

Here's hoping I have found a new styling methods and helpful tools to assist with my first long term stretch goal. I am trying to stretch until January.

I bought a spray bottle to spray directly onto the scalp for my cowashes and it works wonders!

I am trying to stretch to January too. Well today, I shampooed with ors creamy aloe, conditioned with tresseme and deep cond with vitale aloe vera. Kept that on a few hrs. Cause I just had to go to the bss and load up. So I threw on my turban. I was really hoping my pj days were over. Sigh...

Just put my hair in twists.

I washed my hair with organix coconut shampoo (I think), did the aubrey organics 2 step protein treatment. After that I conditioned again.

I put my hair in 4 braids to stretch, moisturized with shea butter/coconut mix i have and left it to dry.

Twisted on the stretched hair yesterday and I'll leave them in until they look a mess lol.

Hope everyone's enjoying their hair!

checking in....

Today i deep conditioned, washed my hair and did an ACV rinse. My hair feels heavenly!

After i moisturized with Hawaiian 14, sealed with kemi oyl and braided plaits throughout my head.

I probably wont wash again for another 2 weeks.

ACV is the ish! not only for my hair but overall health. I will never be able to live without it!

4 months post relaxer. Braid out 2 x week. Just had a Dominican salon owner argue with me that my hair was natural and that she would charge me $15.00 extra for natural hair. Is this a compliment that my braidouts make my hair look natural or should I be offended that she thinks I would lie.

Your hair is gorgeous and is a nice length. Waist length isn't very far away for you.

I wouldn't like to be accused of lying either, but having transitioning hair that looks natural when in a braidout isn't a bad thing. Some people thought I was natural too during my transition.

Checking in:
-Planning on doing my weekly wash tonight
-Also gotta stop by the BSS to pick up an applicator bottle so that my JBCO can finally get acquainted with my ROOTS (i'm currently 8 weeks post......and I really don't feel like battling my roots to get this JBCO onto my scalp erplexed

 

[MrsIQ]

I was just siting in my car and a I had the weirdest thought pop into my head. I thought "wouldn't it be cool to be driving my car and have my longest layer brush the top of my thigh?" I think that is about hip length, but who knows? I may just grow it that long!!!

 

[belldandy]

hey everyone, I have update pics in my fotki. I guess I'm claiming mbl. I jave been cowashing and bunning, but also losing a lot of shed hair maybe this is just my shedding phase. Lemme know what yall that!

 

[belldandy]

yeah I hope to be skimming wl by dec 30th...

your hair is beautiful.

D.Lisha I'm really interested to hear about your use of JBCO. I won't buy any until I use up all of the oils I just bought but my inner product junkie would like to add it to my list I think.

Mrs IQ hip length sounds cool to me too. I don't know if I'll ever set that as a goal but hey who's to say I won't.

Maxandsally I think your hair is lovely.

Celina, your up-do is gorgeous. I'll be looking you up when I have lot's of long lovely hair and want tips on something besides the single braid I plan to wear draped over my shoulder like a mink stole.

Belldandy I love your hair. The thickness reminds me of mine and the fact that you can get it to look so nice encourages me to think that with proper care I won't end up looking like I'm rocking Diana Ross's old wig.

My hair survived the co-wash in twists but I can tell that in the future I'll have to make sure my twists are tighter so that they stay defined and neat looking while up.

Have a great night!

aaaww shoot NikkiQ I see someone else to kick up outta here lol

 

[soldierforhair]

I plan on giving my hair a special overnigh Deep conditioning treat tonight with Aubrey Organics and washing tomorrow with Hair One and braiding it back up. Much deserved. I have been swimming all this week. HHG Ladies.

 

[soldierforhair]

You know ladies I was thinking about all those hair magazines I used to buy and go nowhere near the amount of information that I get from LHCF. I'm so glad that's over.

 

[JJamiah]

aaaww shoot NikkiQ I see someone else to kick up outta here lol

I guess I came at the right time to see you ladies get violent again LOL

 

[MrsIQ]

It's amazing! I used to want those looks too but the mags made me feel like I could only accomplish them with weaves. I am so glad that I found you ladies. IMO, we know waaaayyy more than alot of those "stylists". Honestly, I don't think I'll ever go to another one of them.

 

[JJamiah]

it's really not that far hun!

that's right, i forgot, we gotta get that stylist who scalped your MBL length!

you're lucky it grows so fast though, you'll be back there in no time!

One could only hope I make it back there by the time I break this down in January of 2011, then I am striving for WL by 12/11 so I am wish and hoping and wish and praying and wishing and continuing my 4-2-6 -===> I said I'd do this for 2 years, Cutting back any progress beyond waist length though. I don't want it to be unbearable.

As I was saying I Said I might do 4-2-6 for two years but this might be my life time change an permanent regimen for my hair

 

[MrsIQ]

Oh yeah, I'm tea rinsing today!

I know I feel the same way. I used to have like 20 hair magazines sitting around to look at I'm "thinking" about going to Aveda and getting my hair done for Christmas and getting my ends trimmed but who knows. And what is a tea rinse?
