definitely come back and let us know how you like your new toy, I am going to try my babybliss pro at the end of this year, but since my hair tends to poof I am not holding out hope for relaxer straight hair.

Phaer I'll do that. I am selling my Babyliss Pro, it's listed over in the product exchange forum.

Blew out my hair yesterday and it's been in a bun ever since. Sad huh? Not entirely sure if I can pull it off, but I'm kinda thinking about doing Naptural85's best twist out ever technique tomorrow and wear it out for Thanksgiving.

KiWiStyle, I am so jelly. I want either a Sedu or Chi flat iron. Where did you purchase yours from and how much was it (if u dont mind me asking) :spinning:

[/QUOTE]

pelohello I purchased my Sedu at Ulta for $159 and received a free gift which includes a mini ceramic curling iron (on/off switch only), set of 3 carbon clips and a ceramic ionic hair brush.

NikkiQ · Nov 21, 2012

About to attempt this twist out. Lord have mercy....

NikkiQ · Nov 21, 2012

Probably should have made the twists smaller. Oh well.

I just don't have the patience to do all this detangling...imma try to stay strong and give my natural hair one more chance! lol Hope you all have a happy turkey day :drunk:

cantu shea butter leave-in conditioner repair cream is nice so far. i only use a little. my hair is soft and moisturized. i was so scared of this product for years. a lot of people said it left white residue, can't be used with other products, and it makes the hair hard and crunchy. i didn't experience any of this. but i wouldn't use this with gel. i used it on damp and dry hair.

I have been using this for a year now and I haven't experienced any of this. I use it and seal with EVCO. My hair is relaxed and a little goes a long way. The smell is great too

Meritamen · Nov 21, 2012

APL came and went for me yet again. I swear trying to get to this length is purgatory. *sigh* I blowed dried my hair and got a trim. Miss my kinks already.

Thanks ladies! I hope this reveal doesn't let everybody down. I'm in super protective mode to make sure I save my ends. Didn't even wear my hair down for Thanksgiving for very long :lol:

kittenz · Nov 24, 2012

I can't remember the last time I checked in (I know I missed the last length check) but I wanted to stop in for my 1 year nappiversary! Officially it's not until tomorrow the 25th, but last year it was on black Friday. I'm happy with my growth these last 12 months and I I haven't regretted my decision to go natural once.

HHG ladies!
