Headed to the DC challenge to see what the ladies over there are raving about...or maybe it's time to break down and just buy some Aubrey's. idk what but I know I need some super duper moisturizing slippy dc NOW!

missing my hair. i am reading about transitioning with Dominican salon appts. anyone had any luck with that?

Also, I was looking at my facebook and I realize that I go from TWA to SL in about 12 months. I'm really hoping I can repeat that trend this year :(

awww shucks! many thanks! If I get back to my hair length on the left side of the photo, I'd be happy. I should be there in another 4 months at the earlier. Like I've always said, I really don't care about "length" so much as fullness. Just enough to pull back with a clip is fine with me :D
 
naija24, can you buy some knock off curlformers? When I do a curlformer sets my hair looks chemically or thermally relaxed w/o the heat and the damage that goes along with it. The first day you'll have spiral curls, the next day the the curls fall and it's straight, unless your do something to bring the curls/waves back.
 
It would be so awesome if my hair continues to thrive the way it has since I officially started my HHJ two and a half weeks ago. My stylist commented on all of the new growth I've already achieved in this short amount of time.

Sorry for neglecting you for so long, hair!
 
I need my LTG of WL hair to be here already… 1 more year to go, but I bet you Ill still be 25 for the umpteenth time when I reach WL
 
Put on some medium twists and finally was able to order some Sitrinillah... two jars, please! I am excited! I need to keep my hair in for a month though so I will use them afterwards... excited nonetheless!

naija24 Be careful with the Dominican salons as they use lots of heat. You don't want to get heat damage on your natural hair. When I transitioned I used to rollerset at home and flatiron the roots myself. I did go to the salon, but not too often because nobody knew how to deal with my transitioning hair

Dying my hair = 40 minutes
Deep conditioning, blow drying, flatironing my hair = 90 minutes
Walking outside and watching my hair go from straight to Afro = 5 minutes

Sounds like a MasterCard commercial. Priceless! Damn natural hair problems.

BostonMaria but couldn't I use dominican salons to become a heat trained natural? I mean, I've read threads about it and thus far, all I understand about it is that you use heat regularly.
 
I haven't touched my hair in days and I'm wondering how long I can go:look:

I hate dealing with my hair. I can't wait till its long enough to wear straight or bun.

Napp why can't you wear it straight now? It looks like sans shrinkage, it's long enough to be SL if not full NL

Its too hot and humid! Plus I need more length. My layers are not cut into a decent straight style right now.

I did a length check a few days agao ( im sl:grin:) and I just didn't have the patience to maintain straight hair at this length. If it were longer I would have put it in a ponytail and call it a day.
 
Napp I feel you. I just saw your blog. I'd kill to have that length and call it a day. I rarely do ponytails/braids whatever. I just like hair framing my face. I have ZERO idea how I thought I'd be happy with a fade after two years of NL/SL relaxed hair. Blargh. Totally regret my BC :(
 
My hair is sooo dry right now. I'm surprised all my strands aren't simultaneously snapping. I'm too lazy/tired to DC tonight though so my hair will have to fight through it until tomorrow!
 
I can't do the ayurvedic thing anymore. I just washed a mixed bowl of powders down the garbage disposal. Have a flashback of the clean-up involved and couldn't be bothered anymore. I am packing the rest up and sending it to a friend.
 
Dyed my relaxed hair today (black) and it turned out great! I learned this technique from YouTube where you but petroleum jelly or grease on the ends of your hair or parts of your hair you don't want to dye. So I coated the last 2-3 inches of my hair and added some ors pak to the dye mix to hell with porosity. My hair was sooooft!

Then I dc with heat with ors pak. I roller set so I'm not worried about direct heat. I'm so happy! Rinsing my hair wasn't cutting it.

I use heat mostly in the fall and winter, but my hair isn't heat trained. I am very careful so that my curls come back when I wash my hair. My hair still shrinks up to my ears LOL

If you want to be heat trained or wear your hair mostly straight then I don't see anything wrong with going to a salon. Just be careful because the amount of heat that they use can cause set backs.
 
I think I'm going to start finger detangling my natural hair dry with oil. The first time went well and it made my styling process much easier.
 
I need to unbraid my hair and deep condition. But i don't feel like it.

Today is my only day to get it done without rushing......argh!
 
I managed to make a psudo bun from a loose puff. I think I will be rocking the style all summer. I am taking summer classes and I need time to study.
