This is the wet and wavy hair that I have to use today. I have it in 4/30. I hope it looks okay.

^^I sure hope so faithVA. Now it's time to work on a summer time sew in reggie. When I was transitioning, I stayed in sew ins so at least I have some sort of grasp on how to cowash and such. I think I'm gonna step up my vitamins and incorporate the MN in some how.

i washed my hair this morning and still have the conditioner in. i thought i ran out of time to rinse, set, and sit under the dryer. so i just took the plastic cap off, put my satin wig cap on and wear Marilyn today! i will rinse and roll when i get home tonight. i hope i don't have to go in tomorrow. i will have to get my kids up around 6am. i need to have my cousin teach my how to use my satin rollers, so i won't get a tight roll. i might wanna wear my hair out this holiday monday.

I am doing a protein week end, just took my cornrows out. I had them for two weeks, and would have keep them for a month, but I got too many parties for memorial week end so I had to cave.

I am excited to try my curlformers for the first time.

Hello ladies! Checking in

Hair is doing well. Gave myself a trim almost 3 weeks ago. Thought I was going to stretch my relaxer from march to the beginning of August (which would be an 18ish week stretch when I normally do 14-16 weeks) simply because i love to swim, but here I am approaching the end of week 10 and about to crack lol. I've NEVER relaxed earlier than 12 weeks (& I've been relaxed for 6yrs) but with 1.5-2 inches of new growth already I'm relaxing on Monday lol. Im really excited that all my hard work is revealing itself in my progress. I can only imagine what the summer growth spurt has in store for me.

So....i got my hair done and then promptly took it right out and got my money back. It was absolutely horrible. WAY too tight and after I kept telling her it was too tight, all she did was laugh and say I must not have gotten a sew in done in a while..so furious right now.

I know you're mad but you did the right thing. Better to take it out and not have irreversible damage done to your hair and scalp then keep it in. Plus, more people need to be like you and demand their money back. Stylist/braiders need to learn that the customer "is always right." All that joking about how someone "must not have gotten a sew in done in a while" will one day cause them to close up shop.

So what's your plan now?

Wow NikkiQ. Sorry that didn't .get your sew-in. But I am sooo proud and happy that you took care of yourself. APL is right around the corner for you. I would hate for you to have a set back

This :yep:.
I live in Halifax (which is in a tiny Canadian province called nova scotia). There aren't a lot of black people here, but the black stylists still think they can tell you something about hair.

And I'm like honey I am giving you a serious side eye when your two inch long broken off head is trying to tell me I'm washing my hair too much, that pulling my hair out of my head is good for the style, and that I need to stop putting that "white girl stuff" in my hair. (ie. conditioner)

So sorry NikkiQ, that this mess had to happen to you. But who knows, you may find an amazing stylist in Puerto Rico!

My stylist now is super expensive, but she works in a gorgeous salon that starts their appointments on time! And she actually looks at the health and length of my hair (or lack of it) and makes reasonable suggestions regarding care and cut. She listens to me, and I always leave the salon looking fly and feeling happy. (but broke :nono:)

If you're ever in Halifax (why would you be?), look up Theresa at Thumpers salon on Granville!

Thanks ladies! I've worked too hard to get my hair where it is for that dingbat to mess it up. This beehive will do just fine under my wigs for a bit.
