I had planned on getting my hair cut 2 inches every couple of months or something but I changed my mind. I cant do short hair and plus my texturized ends can blend in with my new growth. I'm going to just keep my hair moisterized and continue to grow it out.

I added coconut oil to my watery conditioner bottle and my hair feels so much softer after I take out my braids in the morning. Ive heard a lot of good things about grape seed oil so I will try that next time.

I wasted money on those Miss Jessie products I bought except for the sweetback deep conditioner. Fortunately, I got that stuff on sale. I just have to figure out what to do with it since most of those products did nothing for my hair.

I'm sneaking up on 2yr since my last texlax. I'd probably be around hip length by now if I hadn't cut the texlaxed ends as well as the straight. Ah well. I'll be back. :grin:

The style I attempted did not at all turn out as I'd hoped. I'll either have to add extensions to have the fullness I desire or start fresh.

What I'd do for thick hair some days. Smh.

I'm happy with my hair right now but I'm ready to get my length to the next level. Especially as summer is coming up. So I think I'm going to go back on Hairfinity when my internship begins after my finals finish.

Sometimes i come on the forum and think some of these ladies do the absolute mostest. all nuts and juices and berries with a dash of juju. and then... i try something that seems like it wont do nuffin and it works wonderfully. Scalp massages with castor oil. Not much just about half a cap full. it's amazing. i went from having to moisturise daily to once a week. this hair thing is going to be a breeze from now on

Back to BSL after getting rid of damaged ends. That length was my goal but now I'm feeling ambitious and will go for WL.

Thinking about getting a flat iron, I don't know...

I now know BSL ain't gonna cut it :/ doesn't feel long.

I think it's cuz I'm a shorty with a short torso. Maybe MBL will look more dramatic.

Also I must confess that I am a hair whipper. I swing my natural hair when straight like it is now. My room mate pointed it out o_O kinda embarrassing :/

Summer where are you?
I hate when I google something hair related and the forum pops up. It's like google is telling me to use the search function. I hate using the search lol I never find what I want.

MsDee14 have you ever tried safflower oil? It's awesome, my fav oil. I add some to my conditioner and it's like perfection. It's a great sealant and is high in ceramides. It has really helped improve the health of my hair, plus my hair always feels very moisturized :yep:

whiteoleander91 I have tried Safflower oil when I was relaxed and loved it. Thanks for reminding me about that oil! I will pick some up soon and see how it works on my natural hair.

I used sone safflower oil to fry sone tortillas in. Can I use it to prepoo with? Does heating it up change the properties?

Am
I crazy?

Can I use leftover oil in my hair?

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

I don't know about the heating thing, but yes, you can prepoo with it! Leftover oil from frying tortillas? Like...do you mean the rest of the oil that's in the container (unused)? If so, I don't see why not. Your post was funny :3

I want to wear my hair out after a year and a half of bunning it.

I need to stop acting brand new because I got little length.

I still want to wear it out. Just scared I will dry it out. Mostly paranoia.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together

my hair has finally touched my neck after 4 months of growing it out from a shaven BC. I know my hair is really short compared to....everyone on this board, but I'm insanely thrilled about this development.

This was my hair in late January. I had 1/2 an inch of hair all over.


And this is my hair today!!




Yay happy hair journey!! I think I'll hit neck length by August, as planned.

I received my Oyin samples today...love that they are in bottles & jars. They even came in a cute plastic pouch...I opened those samples and used them for my twists tonight...we'll see how my hair turns out tomorrow. I used the Greg juice, Hair Dew, Shine and Define cream, and Burnt Sugar Pomade. Guess I'll use the Honey Hemp on next wash day maybe...the Hairveda Sample Box won't get used for a while. Those packets just don't do it for me.

ETA: I might break out the Hairveda Shikakai Shampoo bar and the Cocosta and Jardin oils...

My hair is loving the LOC Method. I can do this every 2-3 days without worry of dryness. I'm so glad I found out about this because I think moisturizing and sealing every day was doing more harm than good.
