Random hair thoughts:
# 1. I can't wait to get to BSL to try out some new and different hairstyles
# 2. I'm thinking of the shock/awe/expressions of peoples faces when they see my WL hair
#3. I wish it would hurry up and grow already!
Random hair thoughts? These are my
daily hair thoughts...lol. I can't WAIT to get this d@mn hair to BSL. Lawdy, ya'll have no idea where I am in my life!
My braids are still in braided pigtails from my cowash session yesterday. I've been so hair lazy lately and just completely out of it (mentally) that I don't even feel like doing anything to it. Thank the Lord I don't work b/c I would hate having to do something with my hair every day again.
Yea...I'm hating so hard over here
I have work and school and I am up out of the bed at 6AM and sometimes I don't make it BACK in the bed until 10 or 10:30PM...this largely dictates my hair styles, I have taken to just wearing wigs or twists because I can't fool with twist-outs and braid-outs and whatnot.
After the discussions going on this past 24hrs...
*Question of the Day!!!*
Do you have a "trouble spot"? A spot that doesn't retain as much length as other areas of hair? Doesn't hold moisture well? Prone to breaking and splitting? Do you treat this area different than others? How so?
My nape...only because when I had a few inches of hair, I texlaxed (shame on me, I know
erplexed) and while the rest of my hair was fine, the nape? No no no honey, that thang was over-processed and underappreciated. I have cut away the rest of the hair and it just dawned on me that I need to just go ahead and get rid of this last inch or 2 and be done with it. My nape seems coarser and more tangled as well, and it's harder to get moisture in there. Actually, the entire bottom quadrant of the back of my hair is much dryer than the rest of my hair. Very frustrating. I am being much more gentle with those sections and really generous with the DC and moisturizer as well. We gon' be alright
On the road to success!!! Ive notice some growth...mmm about 1/2inch....since ive been giving my hair extra doses of TLC
Keeping it moist has made a TREMENDOUS difference!!! Plus my healthy diet and exercise help the process
Wash and Protein treatment this weekend. Ima give the Cherry Lola treatment a try using coconut milk/cream instead of yogurt. Then follow up with a ACV rinse and of course moisturize and seal using QB AOHC or Burdock Root (trying to resist the urge to buy more porducts!!) the and my own house blend of oils: jojoba, olive, coconut, sapote and tea tree EO.
4 day weekend!!!! Cause in im DC, YES!
Hope everyone is having success as well on their way to BSL
Sounds like you are getting some excellent growth AND some excellent retention, you'll be at BSL in NO time!
Ok so after all the advice I took the plunge and did something about my nape. My hair is about 12-13in long and my nape is only 5in soooo.. I just cut off 2 inches of the dry gross nape leaving it to be about 3in long with only 1 inch of it being relaxed hair (I am 15 weeks post w/ 2in of NG). I'm currently dc that section via sistawithrealhair's method of wrapping it in plastic wrap.
Yep, I'm doing this when I wash next (in 2 weeks). I have some damage back there that just needs to go! You won't even miss that hair in a month or 2
So, I have been complaining about my hair the past week or so and I think I figured out the problem: too much protein. Last week, I did a protein treatment w/ coconut milk/Coconut oil/egg/banana/honey and it felt great, it even felt great while I was washing it out. But then, I had some of the mix left, so I went ahead and added it to my moisture DC (big nono) and THEN I made a whipped shea mix with half a darn can of coconut milk. I used all of that in one day and it was just too much protein for me. My hair has never been partial to protein, so I need to keep it light and very seldom. I was heavy on the moisture today and it feels better. I am going to keep baggying under my wigs and check on it again in 2 weeks.
HHG!
it breaks soooo easily. it is however, the longest its ever been, since going natural. 
I didn't have the coated greasy feeling on my hair that the ORS olive oil left this time, the Keracare naturals hair milk is working well for me, my hair felt great.
