OMG, I absolutely miss this thread!!!!! NikkiQ you keep things jumping in here and keep it interesting. I haven't been in in a while due to moving plus I did a big NoNo and decided to get a quick weave. Talk about total disaster. I let her apply a stocking cap thinking this was a better option....humph...well let me tell ya, that's not the case. I had so much trouble getting that cap off that I dang near snapped my neck back lol...no but seriously it hurt and there was still glue in my hair which was very hard to get out. Not to mention that I'm 16 weeks post relaxer. No Beuno!!! 
My next move is to clarify, then aphogee 2 min, then moisturizing DC with added honey and oils (usually Extra virgin coconut oil or Castor oil), I always air dry and when my hair is about 70% dry I apply my leave in and seal with my coconut oil. I'm really hoping this will at least help with my hair getting back on track if this one mistake has caused a setback.

Yayyyyy!!!! I like it! I like it a lot!!!
And NikkiQ you're right, it does blend. I'm surprised. Even my mom likes it and she HATES fake hair lol. This half wig has her questioning all the people she know's hair hahaha
But for real... Why haven't I been using half wigs? I needed this in my life.
ETA: I WILL learn how to get my pictures turned the right way :-(

Just washed and conditioned my hair, used my joico k pak and the ORS moistiruzing conditioner and I'm currently letting it air dry.
So in about two weeks I'm going to get my install done and I want to take extra care of my strands before that time comes..my hair is currently the longest it's ever been in my life and I'm a bit nervous as to how I should handle it before install time

Wellll Saturday makes four weeks for my twists and of course I'm tired of them! Even though I have washed and cowashed, my scalp is still getting flaky and I feel like it needs a good wash. One thing I've learned is never take out one style until you know what you are doing next. The twists have been good bc it keeps my hands out of my hair, keeps me from using heat, and trying to length check! 
Im trying to take longer stretches between length checks, but I do miss my hair and the freedom of having it out.
So for now, they stay in as I plan my next style move. I will take my time washing them this weekend and maybe dust the ends of the twists a bit. I'm thinking of alternating twistouts and roller sets to BSL. Twistouts were good to me last summer...

Chronically at BSL -_-
Girl, you need to get your money's worth out of those rows! Be strong and hang on in there, like you said it's just a phase
I know, right? I am keeping these darn twists in for at least 3 more weeks! It is just a phase, but I keep going through the same phase like every other freakin' month! I think I'm just tired of my hair, real talk
Im trying to play catch up someone asked where I got the hair to do my havana twists from, Im on my laptop and Im being lazy to look back at who sowry
Thanks polished07 that was me and I looked around and got the answer, although I think you're right, Marley hair prob works too.
I wanted to post my official starting pic. I had been super lazy regarding my hair and last night was the first time I flat-ironed my hair since October. I also have a pic from October for comparison. I think I might be BSB y'all! I wish there was more length in the amount of time that has passed, but I'm still happy. Maybe, maybe I can be full BSL by the summer.
kandiekj100 I think that's BSB (although to tell you the truth, I'm not really sure what BSB really is) you are definitely close to BSL, awesome hair!
MicheePrings I LOVE YOUR HAIR
I forget how mush I love mini-twists, they are def in my future!Me too, lindsaywhat me too...
ImanAdero it looks so natural, very nice.
Nothing to report here peeps. My hair is the last thing on my mind b/c it still pisses me off (sorry for the language) and it's boring. Sorry to be Debbie Downer you guys, but I just don't know when I'm going to start liking my hair again, I know it's just a phase, but I'm ready to be over it

oh... well this last time that i decided to go back to relaxing, wasn't an itch. i just woke up, unraveled my locs for several days, and just went for it. but when i was questioning myself, asking for opinions, etc... my heart wasn't in it and i regretted doing it. i felt pressured into doing it. so i would just cut all of my hair off and start over.
i am enjoying my relaxed HJ this time around. i am learning a lot about my hair.
the point is, i didn't relax out of frustration. i did because i just felt like doing it.
she needs to hide her hair for awhile or go to a salon and try a new style.

ImanAdero, aww you're so pretty. The hair looks flawless.

I think we all feel blah about our hair once in a while. Anytime I feel like this, I just go through the motions of washing and dc and don't style. I find that when I style my hair and it turns our right, I start to like it again. Hopefully, you pass through the phase soon.

so, so gorgeous on you and it is seamless. I really cannot tell where your hair stops and the wig begins.

hair is still doing alright. no real breakage going on. i will probably wash thursday or friday. i am going to cowash and dc with ORS replenishing conditioner. do my usual airdrying and bunning.
off topic, i am so excited to buy a dress for my DD's father/daughter dance coming up! my stepfather and brother are going. we were looking together online at dresses. it was so cute how she was telling me what she liked and didn't like. i wish i could do something more creative with her hair, but we are coming back from the hair cutting disaster, so i am still somewhat limited. she loves getting dolled up. i may get her some flowers too. i want it to be really special for her. i am glad i got one girl to share all of my girly stuff with!

I've been on this board for over 2 years and today I decided I wanted to finally know what a sock bun is. So I took my inquiry to YouTube to see what is the hype. Low and behold, I finally see how some ladies are able to get such full and beautiful buns! Oh, it is on like Donky Kong Now, lol! I immediately jumped up, went to DH sock drawer (shhh, not a peep) cut and rolled a perfect bun. Since I already declared February as Bun month, I can now have a really awesome bun and be cute too.
Here it is:

But that bun is perfect!

The sock bun looks great. Although, I must add that I have seen your buns and you do not need the sock.
Also, you need to be careful with the sock bun, they can cause dry ends (at least in my case they did). Some people combat this by putting fake hair around the sock so that your hair is not rubbing against the sock. I think moisturising the ends before putting it on should help. Love the idea of bun month.

I just did a google search to see if the sock buns cause damage/dryness so thanks for that tip!! I'm thinking I should wrap a satin fabric around the bun and crazy glue it in place. I'll need black or dark brown ribbon. Off the google some more.

REEAALLY considering getting some Sengalese braids/twists soon. Started my workout regimen again (yo-insanity is bananas-why didn't ya'll tell me!? LOL) & I need this hair to be worry free. But I want them to be about BSL length & I'm worried about bunning or pinning my braids down adequately for work. Protocol is that if my hair is below shoulder length it has to be neatly pinned or bunned and not supposed to be over 2 inches from my scalp. Yea, I could get away w/ something somewhat bigger if it's neat, but can't be walking around w/ a Solange-type big 'ol bun on my head. Hmmmmm......
Hmmmmm......
