Angel of the North...you bun looks nice...the shine
I was trying to rock the bun but we had people over from OT and I couldn't help myself, I had to wear it down...
Mjon912 Thank you, that shine must be from the Hot 6 oil I used to seal with. Your bun looks super cute
pelohello It wasn't until last when I tied my scarf that I realised I could have elaborated a little more on the answer I gave you. When I tie my headscarf, I cover my ears and tie it just below my hair line, either to the left, right, middle of the front or the middle of the back. I don't tie my scarf on my hair, it's more the top of my forehead if that makes sense.
sunnieb Thank you for sharing

NikkiQ what does your DH say about your hair when it's like that
Angel of the North...hot oil 6, I see that all of the time in the stores and look past it... Is it good? And thanks

He doesn't see it all the time. I keep my hair hidden most of the time,but when he does see my hair he just says "look at all that hair baby!"

I really want to air dry & bun but idk why I'm having problems with doing it. I'm gonna try it again this weekend. Thanks Angel of the North, I will try that, that way I won't be applying any tension to my edges.

@NikkiQ-- You have got to show us that hair once you've stretched it! It looks something serious! But on the flip side you'll have it for a week so and can experiment with the easier styling.
@shortdub78-- I have the Molly and the Mommy and I LOVE them both!! Yes ma'am they still make the Mommy wig with human hair and the price is still reasonable. I got it off Amazon for like $22. It sounds like you have your determination on lock this year, I'm with you chick!!
pelohello-- I made it to the gym today after two weeks and I never need to wait that long again!! I had to decrease my weight on squats and I couldn't go as hard as I wanted to, but there is some cardio with my name on it for tomorrow. Yes shout out the mini voice and go with the loud, proud one that says, "We got this so just grow girl!!"
@KiWiStyle--My guilty hair pleasure is buns, buns and more buns. I'm deep in the groove of hair laziness and buns of all sorts that I can do in 5 minutes or less are my guilty pleasure. Now on tomorrow I'll have to change that so that I can rollerset for the weekend. We'll see my success rate.
So y'all I went to my fave Indian store this weekend for my henna and couldn't pass up the coconut milk staring at me when I walked in the door. I bought it and decided to mix it with my henna and I couldn't help noticing the thickness of the milk when I opened the container. There it was, creamy coconut goodness sitting in the can. I did what any kid would do and stuck my finger in it. Its smooth and rich with a faint sweetness. So now I have to FIND RECIPES for coconut milk!!! I can't wait to henna tomorrow, but for now my new addiction may very well be coconut milk in my mouth!!
P.S.-- For inquiring minds, I'm going to see my baby in Memphis this weekend (cabbage patch, yes I am)! Hair will be flowing and blowing in the wind. Just thought I'd tell ya'll. Good night!

Mjon912 This oil is fantastic, I love it!!! It's not heavy but it really gets the job done, it's packed with loads of great ingredients bar the cyclomethicone which could have been a lot be worse and the fragrance) , it's packed with various oils and ceramides. I have fine strands, it doesn't weigh my hair down.
Ingredients: Olive oil, canola oil, wheat germ oil, sweet almond oil, safflower oil, castor oil, sesame oil, vitamins E, A & D, cyclomethicone, sheep sorrel, elm bark, sage, henna, comfrey, burdock root, ginseng, golden seal, cherry bark, black walnut, chamomile, alfalfa, hyssop, wheat germ, and fragrance.
pelohello Exactly. I apply my moisturisers, oils and butters to wet hair, I find it dries smoother opposed to frizzy, if my bun is unbraided, if I brush it out I get pretty much the same results as blow dried hair bar the kink from a hair band. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

I also have the Hot Six Oil and find that it has really nice ingredients and smells divine!!! It's nice to use as a finishing oil to add shine to your to hour hairstyle because it really doesn't weigh the hair down. It's so cheap, you almost have to buy it, I've found it for under $4 at times.

I think I will take my twists out this weekend. It's been 5 weeks and I really do miss my hair. They still look good though and i honestly could get a few more weeks of wear. But this is my first time hiding my hair in my HHJ and Im overly concerned about how my real hair is doing inside. I was thinking what did the twists accomplish for me:
**I haven't used any heat this year. (Huge for me
). Except a light blow dry before the twists.
**No trims or dustings yet.
**keeping me from doing length checks too soon!
**keeping my hands out of my hair!
Of course operation takedown will be extensive! I'm going to cowash one more time to get rid of an excess buildup around my roots. I'm going to patiently unbraid each twist, removing the shed hair and detangling as I go along and spraying with some diluted V05 con. That's all I have so far...but the whole upcoming weekend will be devoted to my hair.

Angel of the North and KiWiStyle thanks! I looked at it like cheap products, cheap ingredients...I feel dumb, I'm going to try and grab some today! The Product Junkie in me is doing a Happy Dance 
NikkiQ thanks for posting a pic... It looks like a blow out, or at least what my blow outs look like... That's a good idea for a heatless way to stretch
lamaria211 aww...so cute! I can't wait to have my son!!! How old is he

I'll probably do 8 of them next time instead of 4 to see how it goes. It's pretty cool to think you could do this with just string after wash day. My blow outs are usually bigger than this,but this is a bit easier to wrangle into a ponytail even though it's still a bit shrunken.

I saw a lady Sunday with a beautiful braidout. She looked to have maybe 4b-c type hair. I asked her what she used and she used Aunt Jackie's products. Has anyone in here used them?

Chronically at BSL -_-
Hi guys, thanks for all of the support and warm wishes, I feel better, but still giving my hair a break; I took my braids down b/c I was really tired of wearing a wig and I swear I am suffering from some mystery mass breakage; so I just put it up in this huge bun-thingy. I put a pic below, have a good Tuesday guys!
