I need to dc, but I may go swimming tomorrow which would make that ordeal pointless.

I don't think I'm doing a Beaumont or curls in general, putting it right into my protective style again that bad thing is I just saw a youtuber who was doing the same protective style and she said it caused some breakage and her ends looked thinned out but I don't twist my hair tightly, I twist the very ends once and tuck it so I should be good..... My ends looked good as I was looking at them. I found one not which disappeared when I went searching, I'm going to get that sucker

Dang I basically used the whole bottle of my 8oz banana conditioner. Like I had put some in a empty container (because i add oil and honey)of what I thought I would use and I had to put more .

That banana conditioner was whack! Tresemme is much better. It felt like I cowashed my hair instead of dc. I won't be ordering it ever again. I have two more bottles so I guess I will be using it for cowashing and getting some tresemme, I will use the suave for now I forgot we just got a huge bottle

They just gave me some BS answer about why I couldn't return my purchase, even though I had the receipt and their policy accepts lightly used returns. I still had a full bottle of product. I don't want to get into the explanation they gave me.

Glad I tried natural85's 25 minute cowash/detangle method.... I cut my wash day down to 2 hours vs 5-6 hrs. I can wash once a week now without feeling like I lost a whole day. Only thing is I didn't wash out my final oil rinse properly so my hair is a little more oily than expected. It feels like it will be soft and moisturized when I take it down Monday.

Did a protein treatment this week with Palmer's Coconut Protein Pack. It made my hair feel all weird and hard so I probably won't use it again anytime soon but on the plus side after a moisturizing deep condition I was able to have soft shiny hair. My hair feels way stronger. I need to buy more natural hair products. They're the only products that work with hair. *makes list for next hair product run.*

Victoria44 did you detangle in shower like Naptural85?
My hair is all weird and stringy. I clarified and did a protein treatment with heat, and it is still stringy. I tried to do a wash and go, but the stringiness was not the look I wanted. I tried a wash and fro the next day and my hair was still stringy.
I am not liking it at all and have no explanation for it. I have not used a flat iron on my natural hair ever and can count the number of times I have used a blow dryer on one hand and it is always on cool or warm-low. I am not sure what to do.

At the beginning of my journey I got rid of all of my heat tools.... fast forward.... I've purchased a curling wand and curling iron within the last month
The same with me and my blower and flat iron

Really? I liked it. I used it before deep conditioning and it was really good.

Watching the Secret U.S. Classic and my girl Jordyn Chiles came in first in the AA for juniors.
Then a stupid announcer, who forgot he had his mic on, had the nerve to say "nobody needs to know that" about her win. :hardslap: Black girls have been rocking this comp though. Nia Dennis, who trains with Gabby Douglas (she left her coach yet again), came in 2nd behind Chiles and Simone Biles came in first in the AA for seniors.

I made a few adjustments ... I worked in 4 sections outside the shower instead of 2, and I finger detangled thoroughly outside the shower first. The oil conditioner mix on dry hair really worked well to make it easier to finger detangle.
In the shower I split each of those 4 sections into 3 parts and finger detangled more under the water, and then went through with a comb ...ultimately combing didn't go so well as it did for naptural85 and I don't even think it was necessary. I spent an hour in the shower combing and then adding my oil mix after. Next time I do it I'll probably just take a little more time finger detangling and just rinse, add oil, rinse again.
Have you tried it??

I wish there was a "Hairstyles for the TWA phase" thread here. I like the TWA thread, but I need strictly hairstyles and I don't want to start it myself :/

My hair is feeling heavier when I do my twist...I hope the new weight means I will be seeing additional length soon!

I feel so accomplished. Thank you Youtube.

If another freaking stranger touches my hair without permission I'm going off. I'm not a damn petting zoo.
And why do people like asking me if I can do their hair? It's 1 am. I just got off work. Can I go home please, white stoned lady in the AM/PM? On the other hand I could do with the extra cash doing hair could bring me. NAH not worth the hand pain.

Wow SO just told me he is bored with my protective style. He said "you mind as well put it in a regular ole ponytail" and I'm like it's not the same because my ends are hidden. He was like "you have been protective styling for several weeks, your getting lazy with your hair ". Well I don't go anywhere to really be on keeping my hair in a style. I stopped doing the twist because with it being wet and a scarf on it while drying, it looks all flat like I might have two dreads on the side lol

2 more weeks for my loc appointment. I seriously cannot wait until I become good at washing, retwisting and everything else. I'm honestly only going a couple of more times to simply learn to do it myself. Although I've watched enough youtubes to attempt it. But I won't...not now.

After my love/hate session last week with these braids, I'm in love with them after redoing a lot of them. Looks fresher now. I wanna ride this hair break as long as I can. Between commuting to and from work and the ease in the morning, there's just no reason to take them out. Wash and redo is my motto...

My scalp is tender! I don't know why but I don't like it. I took my flexi rods out and will pin curl a few nights.
