Getting ready for my long day. About to cowash, henna for like 6 hrs and deep condition after for 20 minutes and then I might ponytail roller set again and sit under the dryer this time and wrap it. I got some new plastic rubber bands so they shouldn't pop and I should get a smoother set with no kinks

I was thinking of washing every two weeks to reduce manipulation but the once of week is working for me. My hair has gotten so much thicker. Don't fix what ain't broken

I got Senegalese Twists 3 days ago and my scalp is already itchy! This can't be life! I need a solution so I can survive the next 8 weeks.

Just applied the henna. Rinsing it out at 7. I still say application isn't easy at all . With the henna being on your hair it's clumping the hair making it hard to part and apply. I think I'm going to get a good stain because it was out like ten hours releasing color

Ends feel lovely and thick while washing my hair. Nice and smooth. Months ago I didn't think my ends could look good by cutting the minimum. I'm seeing my hair reach a stepping stone every relaxer . I'm mad I didn't do this in high school. My hair could have easily been to waist length.

I figured out how to keep my hair straight with a bump without wrapping . Two pin curls. It actually draws it up more so it always looks fresh and extra tucked. Not for someone who likes to show length. I done care about that. As long as it's really three

With all the Chinese piracy out here, how can we be sure we are getting true Dominican products if we order from BNY and the like? I want to try the Kanechom and SiliconMix but want to make sure I'm getting real Kanechom.

@Allandra thank you so much!! So I am strongly considering getting a bob haircut this weekend... Did you really love your cut? Did you find it hard to style during the week unless you used heat? Did you ever do braid out styles, how did those turn out? Sorry for so many questions, I just want to make sure I've thought it thru before I make a final decision! I'm between SL and APL so I don't have a TON of hair to cut, but I'm used to the length and being able to pin it up etc. So I'm just wondering how you managed with it.

Thank you!!

YES I really loved my asymmetrical Bob (layered in the back) hair cut, and I still do.

No, I didn't find it hard to style (with or without heat) - it was cut in an actual style.

No, I haven't done braid out styles since doing this hair cut because I love the way it looks as it is.

I didn't care about not being able to pin my hair up because I was happy about having it cut in an actual style.

HTH.

Anyone else notice that Chi silk infusion changed the recipe? It used to be a golden color and now it's clear. The ingredients have changed a lot. The new version is paraben free. Fortunately it feels the same and it smells the same. I wanted to take a pic of the ingredients, but the writing is so tiny :(

I feel like I'm the only one who noticed it:lol:. I haven't used it in over a year now, they know they were wrong for that one:nono:. I can't find the old formula anywhere, the new one doesn't work at all for me.

Gotta figure out a way to retain my length whilst wearing my hair out more often. For the last 3 years of my hair journey, I PS'ed like crazy and this summer for some reason, I've been loving wearing my hair out stretched ... the only thing is I'm worried I won't retain my length this way and I need to make TBL by Dec 2014. Sigh.

spellinto I do low manipulation styles. I mostly wear curls for a week, braidouts, and twistouts so I don't have unnecessary breakage during daily styling. I Also did box braids with my hair every week and put into a "bun"( did a ponytail and didn't pull it all the way through )so occasional protective style. But I never let my hair get dry most importantly. I moisturize every strand during washing day and seal and every three days I would remoisturize and seal. But everyday I seal especially in curls because that causes less frizz. I'm always conscience about my hair. I never let my hair touch cotton and because my hair stay in curly styles it always hangs above my shoulders so not dragging against my clothes. I think it's my overall regimen
