Waist Length 2014

i washed my hair Thursday night. First I pre pooed all day Wednesday and Thursday. Hair was amazingly soft after that, didn't even need to dc after so I just slathered on conditioner while in shower. Used aphogee keratin spray and tressemmee heat protection spray. Took forever to straighten. Did bantu knots then went to bed. First few pics are just showing my transitioning hair wet no product. Last pic is bantu knot out results.

Now you are just showing off! LOL! I love your curl pattern. And those Bantu knots with that color is so pretty!
 
I really don't post often but i'll be trying to make WL for Dec 2014. I know it's alot to ask for but i'm willing to put in the work to achieve that.
 
bebezazueta gurrrl I was deep into the night doing this hair! I couldn't wait to post the pics cause I knew y'all would understand :look: everyone else was like, you spent two hours on that head??!! :rolleyes:
 
Ladies help!!!

My hair has thinned soo much over the past month, I'm so upset at myself for waiting this long to address it. At least 1/3 (feels like 1/2) of my hair is gone at this point. Even if I stop the shedding, I'm thinking ahead to how much thinner the ends will be from here forward. This makes me soo sad. On top of that, I got heat damage from my most recent flat ironing escapade. I don't want another set back!!! (This makes #6 since the beginning of my HHJ)

I'm so close to chopping it all off. I'm an all or nothing kind of person so it's really hard to just wait things out & be patient. (Sigh)

Ideas/suggestions/encouragement needed...

bronzephoenix When was the last time you clarified and did a protein treatment? When my shedding gets out of whack, that's my first go-to.

I clarified yesterday, I rarely ever do protein treatments because I'm protein sensitive... But maybe I should. Will it help with white bulb shedding? I'm not referring to breakage... The hair is coming straight out of my head.

It helps with my shedding. When I notice it's more then the normal amount, I'll go ahead and do the Aphogee 2 step treatment and it gets me back to normal. I wouldn't recommend it if you are protein sensitive though. I used to be real strict in the beginning about doing it every 3 months and now I only do it as needed. Clarify first, 2 step treatment, DC and style as usual.

Awwwwww I'm sorry :bighug:
Maybe you should look into garlic shampoos/supplements and doing jbco scalp massages. I've heard about those helping to stop shedding and to thicken hair back up :yep:. I've never had a issue with shedding, but wash n'gos thicken my hair and edges up :look:.
 
Hair is in milk maid braid halo.

And I love it.

Hair wS in about 20 fat twists for about 2-3 days and it was good and stretched. Nice and easy to braid.
 
:hug2: @bronxphoenix Sorry about your setback. Have you tried rinsing with Black Tea? or maybe this?

Thanks for the hug!! I'm a little garlic shy at this point... My husband said it was coming out of my pores just YESTERDAY. I did that treatment days ago! Although he tends to exaggerate... I'm giving wng's a try for sure. I don't have any other styling options that won't create tension.

Do you use castor oil? That could also be a suggestion bronzephoenix
Click to expand...

I do. I've been using it almost daily on my edges. I want to use it in scalp massage but feeling the lack of density at my scalp stresses me out. Not to mention the friction rubs my hair right OFF; strands sticking to the castor oil on my fingertips when I finish. It's a MESS y'all.

It's okay :/ I did a black tea rinse a few days ago, I'll do another one tonight. At this point I'm ready to bc. Do you have to buy that online? Or can I get it from an Indian grocer?

My senegalese twists are starting to look a tad bit "aged" and frizzy. I have that halo effect going on. Still pushing on though. It's not as bad looking if I keep it in one big braid down the back so I'm gonna rock with that for the next 2-3 weeks then start taking them out.

Mine are looking this way as well and it's only been two weeks, although I may just be itching for a change and therefore looking too hard lol.


How Long have urs been in?
