Absolutely!!! I'm too cheap to pay $13 for a shirt so when I saw a store had some really good quality t-shirts for 2/$5...I was all over it!

I was too cheap to even do that. I used one of my fitted tshirts that had been downgraded to only wearing around the house or to bed :lol:

Re: Shea Radiance

So I think I like it! My hair feels really soft and has a great sheen. It feels like I actually moisturized it!

Normally by the end of the day, even in twists, my hair feels dry, but not today.

Disclaimer: my hair ha been pinned up in. Fat twists all day, so that also might be why it's maintained moisture so well. But I like it!

Hey ladies I am on a mission for this next hair journey. I am getting prepared for it. I have finally made my first length check shirt (homemade). Right now I have a roller set, I don't plan to straighten until the end of the year. If I had to guess I will be at line 6 or 7 when straightened.

Nice house! Is that a tv mounted from ur ceiling?? ;p

Hey ladies!
Just checking in over here. Already trying to see if I'm going to stretch this relaxer past 10 weeks.....I would like to get one lllllloooooonnnnggggg stretch in before summer hits. I know me when summer hits and I'm been protective styling over 8 months, you won't be able to tell me NOTHING in a toned body with "near BSL" hair. I just need to be near it and I'mma lose my mind!! :lachen: Let me stop, just lovin my tresses!! :lol:

@Americka welcome, welcome! I plan to make BSL when you do, by July! Let's grow, we got this chick! Even though I am do for a trim this go around, shouldn't be more than 1/2 inch esp the way I've been covering my ends.

@mami2010, you have a serious even hand! I like your shirt and I like the shirt style! Good for you, I'm too lazy to draw anything half way straight to use in public.

P.A.--I cannot wait for my Wen Fall Ginger Pumpkin and 613 to come in!!! Best $29.95 I've spent in a long time. Whoop Whoop, come on Chaz deliver it already!!

See ya chicas!

P.S.--- @NikkiQ, so um you saw my Who Dats!!!! Yeaaaahhhhh baby!!

Still aint right without my Boo Thang tho!!!

@Carmelella Thanks, it is mounted to the ceiling by some chains going up to the attic. We actually have two TV's in our bed room one in the sitting area that's a floor TV, and the one you see hanging on the ceiling in the bed area. Honestly though, I really don't get to enjoy it yet because of my 5 and 6 year old are invading my room still.

Thanks, I am not very artistic. I think my kids can draw better than me, lol. But lately they are learning to draw and practice their hands so I decided to practice too.

Anyone familiar with this line, I'm going to try the condish and lotion(not for hair)

Also want to try the dry shampoo but, I have no real need to purchase.

Unplanned thanksgiving at the in-laws. No time for a weave or some braids. What am i to do with this 9 month post-relaxer hair :blush:. I am just venting guys, don't waste time suggesting styles to me. I have tried almost all the stretch/transition friendly styles suggested by others. None of them came out right or better i wouldn't wear them out of my bathroom; i am the most style challenged person i know :lachen: Thank God for wigs. But a wig at my in-laws? i'll think about it.

I'm showing up to the party late, but I'm here and in:grin:!

Here are my starting pics:

October 29


November 07. Did a light dusting this day.


I'm so proud of my progress and ready to keep trekking! :yay:

I wear my bra pretty low, and am tall (5'9"), so I've got another 4-5" to make BSL. I'm hoping to be there by July 2013.

My current reggie is to co-wash 3-5x a week with HE LTR or Suave humectant (summer), add in Giovanni Direct, twist or braid up hair at night after adding coconut oil and elasta qp mango butter and otherwise leave it alone. I flat iron 1-2x a month.

Damaged but not out, I havent tried it. Where did you purchased this from? Def give a product review:yep:

Morning Ladies!! NikkiQ

After work, I plan on DC for about an hr and then putting my hair into 4 braids. The next day I'll probably do a navy bun.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone:drunk:

Any Thanksgiving hair plans ladies??

I'm CW & doing a nice high bun. I'm meeting my bf's family tomorrow and will be staying with them until Sun :perplexed so I think a bun is all I will be able to manage until I get back into my element (my house) Sun night. :lol:

what relaxer are you going to use? what is your method?

I purchased the CON w/ argan oil. Thanks again for your review of it!
Method - traditional way. I'm too goofy to do half and half. However, instead of dividing in 4 sections, I usually divide my hair into 6 to 8 sections. Crown is relaxed first and edges/nape are done in the last 3 minutes. My hair is mostly texlaxed.
