Waist Length 2013

So what I have made up my mind to do since I cant do what I really wanted to because my hand bein messed up. arm in sling so I found the kimmay leave in conditioner, it is so soft and i will be doing this until I can get back to my co wash.

lol I was typing in my sleep last night lol I thought I posted this last night but I see it is still here but forreal I made it up last night and it really did leave my hair soft and still is. I think I will use this under my mixed chicks back and forth with hairveda whipped cremem as a leave in.

I know. I love my hair, but I am still fighting the shrinkage. I don't think I will ever embrace that part of being natural. I keep hoping with more length my strands will be weighed down more and start to show length. When I want to show more length I usually put it in twists. This is my current style for the HYH challenge too.

love it. I think I will ask my daughter to do mines right now and see if they will stay in since I am having a problem with my hand. I will be in the bed most of the time anyway.

MzSwift thank you so much for all the hugs. I don't have any idea what is going on it is nerve pain and my hand is swollen. I guess it is the MS but don't know, in the mean time my hair is under my sleeping cap and my daughter got out of here before I could get her to twist my hair. So I will try to get her to do it tonight.
 
my daughter is getting ready to twist my hair. I don't know when I will be able to do my hair again because of this pain so I will just put the twist in ponytail just so I will not have any setbacks during this time.

OH Wow!!!:blush:.....that makes me sad :(....stay strong mama!

You know....its crazy how a lot of us get so tied up in our thoughts and feelings and trials and tribulations....but then you are made to realize that people go through things waaaaay worse than you. But at the same time....we need each other for that, as people, because i know when i see someone enduring something alot worse than my situation....it strengthens me...because THAT person is strong. Iron sharpens iron:yep:

I just like how you still come through as spunky in your posts tho Shadiyah....regardless of what you are dealing with you are still cheerful. You AND fletgee :hug3:

I have actually been kinda down myself but....my hair remains in twists. I'm glad i can make them last for a little over a week.

SmilingElephant this is my outlet and I love meeting all these new ladies to talk about what we all have in common.

I don't know how long my twist will last but I just have my sleeping cap on so I can lay in this bed and not damage my hair lol. You know I am just glad I don't have to go to work with all that is going on like some of these ladies I know do. It is not fun trying to get yourself up and going when it is a bad day for you.

I just really hope I make to waist because I will be jumping up and down if I do. lol
 
I am gonna be celebrating my 1 year Afroversary:afro: in 3 days!!!! I can't believe it!:woot:

I don't know what i'm gonna do to celebrate...i think im just gonna get some Yes to Carrots stuff for her and....i dunno:lol:
 
I'm sort of borderline apl. Not full yet not too far from bsl at the same time either. Not sure if I can get to WL by 2013, maybe somewhere close by Dec 2013 though.

^nice!:D

I think im gonna start really using my oils up....i've had em for a while:look: Im gonna use up my coconut oil and olive oil to do a heavy pre poo before washing:yep:...and go back to oil rinsing. I loved the softness it gave my hair...i don't know why i stopped doing it! lol

I have products i want use up too so...i'm gonna get back to wet bunning.
 
I just went ahead and saturated my hair with both coconut and olive oil....gave myself a nice scalp massage :). I'm going to let it sit overnight and co-wash it out in the morning. I was able to detangle without using any water or conditioner...just oil and fingers:yep:

I'm gonna start doing this twice a week....my hair feels very soft and nourished. I'll do it again over the weekend before i shampoo and deep condition.
 
Today's the DAY ladies! Happy Afroversary:afro: :lol:....i just wore a simple puff today! It's sooo moisturized:reddancer: I like oiling my hair:yep: It worked great i just got up today and co-washed and detangled....i'm gonna take a break from twists for a minute...my hair thrives off of water so i want to be able to wet it more and not worry about frizzy twists:ohwell:

Where IS everybody?:sekret:
 
Whohoo, Happy Afroversary!! :D

I'm here. I'm in extensions so my updates are pretty boring. I added hibiscus to my braid spray mix. So far so good! I plan to leave them in until Feb. I still don't know what I'm gonna do next. I wanna wig it so that I can rinse/cowash daily. I also wanna try curly wigs... I think. LoL

Anyway, congrats again!

Congrats on your "Afroversary"! What are you doing that's making your hair sooo moisturized? Please share.

I've been CWing daily w/AOHR. Today I added some JBCO to my AOHR & did a DC on dry hair w/my heat cap. When I rinsed, my hair was feeling lush. I'm also using a mix of AV, WGO & castor oil to moisturize with. My hair seems to love it.

Oh, & I bought some M-T-G today. This is my 1st bottle. My son came upstairs & was like "Why does it smell like Oscar Mayer wieners up here?" :lol::lachen:

Okay....at the bolded....THAT is funny! I don't care WHERE you're from!:lachen::lachen::lachen:

Thank you tho! :)

But its really moisturized today bc i did an overnite pre-poo (or pre-wash i should say) with coconut and olive oils...and then i simply co washed it out this morning...detangled and all and then when i got out the shower i put some of the Shea Moisture CES in and then i sealed with a little JBCO and rocked a puff:yep:...feels like...Velvet:gorgeous:

Your hair seems to be doing well...i'm looking at it in your siggy:yep: Is that your hair now?

I did a dc over night and then I started putting my curls back in because I dont want to loose my curl pattern. keeping my hair straight like in twist and plaits can mess up my curl pattern and making my front hairs hanging in my face and not curling and I don't want to cut right not I was it done professional.

SmilingElephant I do not want to loose my curls I worked on my curls for 3 yrs and now the front where you would have bangs at are just wavy and keep hanging in my face. I know I said I was going to get it layered and I still want that but not right this min because I want to make sure I find the right person to do it. and you know what? it can also be the henna that is doing my hair like that. because this is what my hair looks like wet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn7LhpTqz50

but it is a little straighter now in the front which is why I don't have any curl hardly. So on the days I do not have to go to the doctor I will be co washing everyday to try to get my spring back lol.
 
Oh wow:yep:...nice hair :)

It could be the henna weighing your curls down. I've heard that it can do that. When my hair gets stretchy-like i have learned to use a little protein. I usually add 1 egg to my deep conditioner....but if you do that remember to rinse w/ cold water!!!:lol:

I forgot and rinsed with warm/hot water one time and it cooked in my hair! I was like oooooooo....:shocked:....breakfast!!! :rofl:
 
^^Yup, I'm guilty of cooking the egg as well. LoL
I had even read up on it beforehand. I thought my "lukewarm" water was cool enough. Nuh uh. LoL

Hope you ladies are doing well! :)

Unfortunately the siggy pic is of my natural hair the 1st time around, a few years ago. I have it there as a visualization for where I want to be by the end of the year. I BCed down to a TWA on 09-10-11.
