Dear God,

I pray for continued blessing on shortdub78, her little one and her extended family. May she have a smooth and incident free delivery, and have a healthy bouncing baby to hold, care for and love. I also ask for a recovery without complications.

We thank you for the love and support she has had thus far.

Amen!

AMEN! thank you!
 
So got my sew in installed today. I think I'm going to get it cut a little but otherwise I like it. Must be careful to keep my edges intact...I was playing around today with my bun trying to make it smaller for work & could feel tension on my edges. Anywho, the stylist took some pics so here ya go! (She could've warned me my bra strap was out all willy nilly though LOL).

newnyer That sew in is gawgeous! I love the pony :thud: Do you have a photo of the length because it just looks APL in the front. Maybe you should wear it down for a few weeks to avoid extra tension until your hair grows out a little. Where did you get it done? Who was your stylist?

I'm so confused!!! That is no way a sew in :-O?! This is the most beautiful and natural sew in I've ever seen! Where did she start the braids/the tracks??

Thanks ya'll! It's actually waist length in the back & right below the boobs (sorry! LOL) in the front. I think she just cropped the pic a bit. The bun is kinda heavy so I'll have to work w/ it to see if it's really worth keeping the length. Got it done in New Orleans by a stylist named Latonya (Glam Suite).

The braids were startedd from the front and done in a semi circle pattern, and they were pretty small. She was very meticulous in how she layed the tracks...even started over 1 or 2 tracks over to get it right. Of course she started laying the tracks from the back first. Hope I'm explaining that right. LOL

Your sew in is poppin lol. She did a wonderful job. This looks so friggin natural. Im in total awe!!!
 
So I'm starting to get used to my over processed roots (I look like I'm reverse transitioning). On the plus side my buns look great because the edges are sleek and the bun is full.

I've started using the LOC method on my hair every morning. Water, EVOO, DB transitioning cream. So far I like it.


My gardening books arrived yesterday so I now have less time to obsess over my hair which is a very good thing. And I'm getting a puppy in 8 weeks, it was just born on Monday!!! So I have a lot to keep my mind off hair.
 
Welp using tape did not help much. I hate wasting money. I really like my wig, just wish I had ordered it in a smaller sized cap. Lesson learned.

Yes, that new puppy will keep you plenty busy!!!
 
Condish cleansed the Celies and followed it up with some regular cowashing goodness. Trying to get into the routine of cowashing twice a week. So far, so good. I do need to order some vits though.

I detangled my hair awhile ago with the mane and tale detangler and it was my first time using it but I like it so I will use it for the remainder of my stretch. I took a couple pics of my hair after to show how it looks at almost 4 months post. I will post them later tho. My phone has been acting up today.

Got so wrapped up in cooking and finishing up a paper for a class that I forgot that I was letting my Celies dry a little under my twisty turban thing. Completely forgot to put on LI! Well I just applied a little to be on the safe side and prior to putting it on, my hair was nearly dry and SUPER soft! Color me surprised.
 
yeah well....that wash I was suppose to do Monday night....didn't happen lol. Been too busy. I'm in the process of buying a house and hardly have anytime to think. I have to wash tonight though I will be getting my hair braided tomorrow for my protective style.

Blew out my hair using the tension method then cornrowed it. Not sure if I'll keep the cornrows in, but I actually like how I did them.

Debating on when to do wash day. Tomorrow, Sunday or Monday. Gotta see what craziness is planned this weekend for St. Pat's Day.
