Really considering relaxing my hair.I will wait until summer as Texas is brutal then.This will also allow me to gauge my new job.I don't want to relax then not work out at this place.So I will give it til June-July and then relax as wigs in the summer are no fun.

GoddessMaker, what's up lady?

How long is your hair now? What's your routine like? When I'm not in the mood to do my hair (which is often right now), I wash with a poo bar, DC for 20 minutes, and put that puppy in a bun for 3 days.

My RT: my partner is on maternity leave and has another month to go. I think I have 5 trials between now and then. I spend half my day wanting to burst into tears because I can't focus on what I have to do because I keep thinking about what else I need to do. And my best friend is due to have her baby girl next week. And my other friend has her baby shower next Sunday. On the list of my totem pole, hair has dropped below the bottom :nono:. D@mn shame really.

Ronnieaj Im good. I want a change.I stay in wigs.I normally wash each week since I sweat alot in my workouts,dc,then re braid my hair for the week.I have been natural for 4 years and its not me anymore.I liked it when I was in college it made me stand out.Now I hide it under wigs.My hair is SL nothing seems to be happening in growth or more so retention area.I just want that easy pretty look that I feel I get with relaxed hair.Now after being here for so long I know I can care for it.

Hibiscus powder is sooo good, yall! I added a little to cj curl rehab to dc on my mom because her hair was feeling extra dry and she was complaining about too much shedding. She dc-ed with it and said it felt so soft! Then I tried it feeling skeptical because it's just an alright deep conditioner for me. It works better in my hair as a leave -in but I digress :lol:. So I added a teaspoon in an empty jar, scooped some rehab in there, mixed, and left it in my hair overnight. YALL! It felt so good :love:. I think I'm going to add it to a lot more of my stash if I need an extra moisture kick.

I did my own hair and it looks GREAT and I grew from above SL to APL despite many setbacks and me being rough with my hair. I am so determined to grow my hair back to what it was years ago and getting serious about my vitamins and hair care products!

I think that I am over having straight hair move the moment. I planned to flat iron for my birthday, but know I am not up to doing it. My hair reverts within hours, and I don't want constant heat on my hair. Plus, it's raining like crazy in GA. I preferred the braided bun I had over winter break to the flat iron job I'm currently sporting.

One good thing about wearing twist/braids is that I retain hair, mainly because it's put away and I can't really do anything to jack it up. Because of this, and the fact that I workout most days (NY resolutions and whatnot), flat ironed hair is a no-go for me. So I'll be gifting myself a braided/twisted style for my b-day.

Got tired of the ssk's so I decided to wear my hair mostly flatironed. I straighten weekly and use satin covered sponge rollers to curl.

Almost a month now and so far so good. :yep:

And now that i'm thinking about dry hair i'm annoyed that the sitrinillah and whipped ends stuff does absolutely nothing for my hair. What a waste of money.

Hmmm.... I fell off the chlorella train and bought some recently but I haven't been bothered to take it.

Also, I :love: my steamer. It's been a year (I think) and I still fall in love with how soft my hair is when I take out my rollers in comparison to when I don't use my steamer.

I know see that I must use porosity control after every wash bc my hair will feel like a brillo pad if not..its nice finding out what works and what doesn't.Now once I deplete my stash which I want to I will only have extras of what works for my hair.I hope it doesn't change much once I relax my hair in the summer.

In my new-growth
I have a question. Is it really effective to moisture and seal hair everyday? The reason I ask is after you have moisturized and sealed the first time after a wash, wouldn't the act of sealing the hair prevent anymore moisture from getting in?

Would that mean that the additional times you moisturize/seal that week be pointless? Is the hair only feeling moist because the moisturize and oil are sitting on top of the hair?

Please help!:perplexed


Honest to goodness, I was just wondering about THIS the other day. Seriously.

And, then I wondered why my hair seems to only like expensive products.

And now I wonder just how long this thread will go on...

It's like my hair goals change from season to season. In the summer, I was happy with APL. This fall it changed to waist length. Now, hip length. I swear, I'm not going to be happy until my hair hits the floor.

Loc'd up and loving it!
I'm glad I didn't give in and relax and my hair stylist convinced me to get these twists. I'm only a few weeks into this PS challenge but I think I can make it.

NJoy Awww... don't take it too hard. You have gorgeous hair so I can understand why your hubby wants to see it out. Maybe you can treat him to a hair reveal every one once in a while :)

Going to get a touch up tmrw, hope all turns out well with that.

Hair still recuperating from getting it done 2 wks ago. Still tangled, matted, and unresponsive to my all my staples, smdh. This is exactly why I'm a nazi about what products I use in my hair and bring my own products to the salon with me. But I tried somewhere new, spent a fortune, only to look for a little bit and still dealing w/ dry and matted hair.
