Waist Length 2013

SmilingElephant they say it is MS.

I really hate that you have to deal with that:sad: I really do. But you know what? You come across as a strong spirit and i know that you are enduring it the best that you can. Just don't put too much more on yourself than you can bear.

We are all here for you Shadiyah and i love how there is so much love in this thread...we really do keep each other uplifted...even when the thread dies down some:yep: I appreciate that out of all of you...seriously.

:welcome: to all the newcomers! I know we've had quite a few join in! I hope you all enjoy and stick around. I'm so excited that you all are here and i love seeing progress pics....they keep me motivated. I've been gettin slightly lazy with my hair:lol:
 
:cry:I just want to say that you all make me want to cry. and yes I am being a big girl about it. I have stop sewing because of this but I have all of you who I have never met in person but it is as if we know each other and we do all support each other whether out in front or private we are there. I have to say my hair thanks you lol and I thank you so we are having a group hug.:grouphug:
 
So I have decided to give whipped creme another few days of leading in curl definer duty. lol so silicones are on hold right now. but I am kinda missing my tighter curl so it maybe soon mixed chicks will be back in my life.

I am still doing my castor oil mix for my scalp massage.

Hey ladies!
Feeling a bit under the weather.
Converting mini braids into small-medium twists. I plan to flat iron (not totally straight) for my end of the month length check.

Hope you all are doing well!! :D
 
Awww..:( Feel better MzSwift!

Im just checkin in too:curtain: *comes on in to sweep up floors, wipe off counters:grin:*

How y'all doin?:D

I just thought about it....when should we all post our next length check pics or should we just continue to post as we feel?

I was gonna do one either next month or June.
 
Thanks SmilingE <3

I vote for whenever and when we make WL as check ins. I love the pleasant surprise of finding new hair p0rn in the thread :)
 
MzSwift I hope you are feeling better.

I have been better but making it. my hair is hanging in there and I don't see any problems with it. what drives me crazy is that when I measure it it seems to be the same length.
 
Hi everyone!
I am still stretching my relaxer. I usually relax once or twice a year. I washed my hair on Monday night and it felt fabulous_ new growth and all. I have been thinking of not relaxing until December when I am 52 weeks post but we will see how that goes.
I am also baggying my hair and co-washing at least 3times a week in this 80° TX weather.
HHG.
 
man I do not like 2 or 3 day hair it leaves too much hair in the tub when I go to wash it. That really scared me until I realized that I had not washed my hair in like 2 days or so.
 
I have a new natural head to add to my collection lol. She starts tomorrow. My mother has not been doing so great because she got lazy. She is having breakage but I have change her to all natural products because you can not be lazy and use silicone products so I gave her some sulfate free and non silicone conditioner.
 
^^^Shadiyah, that's so cute! I hope she follows your "orders". Can't wait to hear about the differences in her hair with the new products.

Welp, it's family hair day in our house!

Little Man and Big Man were cleansed with a neem/shikakai/bhringraj/condish/tea tree, peppermint, lemon, grapeseed oil tea. I added a squirt of castille soap for lather. I didn't rinse them first I just squirted it onto their scalp, maassaged it in and covered with a plastic cap. Hubby said he could feel it working. Hopefully it helps with his dandruff.

While they were "processing" I washed w/my shikakai conditioner cleansing mix and then used the CON Argan Oil pak with a plastic cap and heat cap for about 20 minutes. I've followed with my hibiscus conditioning mix and now I'm back under the plastic cap and heating cap.

I rinsed the guys and now they have the hibiscus conditioning mix under their plastic caps. It's so funny to see us all sitting around with plastic caps, wool caps and whatnot on our head.

Our dog just kinda looks like he's thinking, "I'm glad I don't have to wear that stuff on my head." LoL Speaking of the big guy, he's getting a sponge bath later after a good brushing. Mama's been so busy!
 
Just checking in. I've been on a LHCF hiatus for a few months. I do that every year when it's time to renew. I'm still wigging, baggying, hiding my hair. I'm still using natural products, no cones, no sulfates, etc.

How's everyone doing?
 
This I don't understand. every time that I start using sulfate free shampoo and silicone free conditioner my hair gets tangled and dry. ???? can anyone tell me why? I have tried this 2 times the first time I went back to cones and sulfate. but co washing more than anything.

No matter what I put on my hair it is still dry. I need to do something before I mess up my hair.

I think you have to allow a month or so for your hair to adjust. It is my understanding that it looks bad for a little while and then improves. Did you clarify prior to starting the products?

so what should I do in the mean time? keep doing the olive oil at night or the pre poo of the aloe vera juice and olive oil? I love how my hair feels after that.
