washed my hair and put it in a bun

I cowashed and put my hair in 2 strand twists. They are looking much better and looking more wearable. I made these a bit larger than my last set. I still put them on perm rods because they look better. Hopefully each month they will hang a bit more and look a bit better.
I want to keep these in for 2 weeks but I need to figure out a good way to remoisturize them. If I can keep them moisturized I want to wear 2 strand twist for the rest of the year.
This has been a good hair year
Finally!

Trying to think of my next protective style.
I wanna be focusing on APL by March next year so that means 2 inches of full retention. I'm thinking I could switch things up with jumbo twists and maybe clip ins (which I will clip onto cornrows. May just get a u part instead. I really don't want to ruin my progress with heat). If I interchange between them both I will get the variety that I want and also the length that I'm craving so much right now. My tiny bun just isn't doing it for me atm.
I'm torn with which one I wanna do first. Jumbo twists are cheaper but take longer and clip ins are expensive but quick. I'll update when I decide and definitely post pics.

i learned a lot about my hair this year. i think if i left my hair alone without all the constant combing, i would have been made it to my goal...so next year i will start wearing crochet Senegalese twists for the whole year and take more vitamins..see where that takes me..

I need this lol. Do you ever worry that the lace closure is obvious.? I've never worn a lace wig before just because I'm so scared that it will be obvious. Anytime I've seen someone with them I've noticed it. I dunno whether its because I notice black hair so often or that everyone notices.

I always leave my hairline out so I haven't had that worry (yet).
But I do know that some mornings when I decide to be lazy and sleep in.. then have to rush to get ready for work (lol).. I'm pretty sure my placement looks shady as hell. But "they" don't know the difference.. and anyone who notices anything "off" can either pay my bills or keep it moving lol.

I washed my hair today. I used Deva curl cleansing conditioner and DC w/ tressume. I hadn't washed my hair in almost two weeks. I could of kept going but my scalp was super itchy and my hair didn't smell so fresh (at least to me). There was a lot of shed hair. Even though I re-moisturize and remove shed hair every couple of days, there was still a good amount on wash day.
Right now I'm letting my DC air dry while in twists. Tomorrow I'll wear a pinned up twistout and then eventually wear it in a messy bun. Before I wash my hair I always test out new hairstyles. I was delightfully surprised that I was able to get a high juicy bun!
My hair was super curly with this wash, for some strange reason. I think it has something to do with the protein treatment I did two weeks ago. I'm going to do another protein treatment in two weeks. I think I need to use protein 2x's a month instead of my usual 1x a month, since I've been leaving my DC in my hair as my leave-in.
I have a couple of pics to upload of some PS that I have been wearing. It's just that it's a pain to have to resize the pics 1st and then sometimes it still does not upload. I hate this new app
(sometimes). I REALLY miss the phone app. It was soooo much easier for me to post pics.

BTW, I was researching this hair salon that I'm going to in Feb for a color, trim and flat iron and I came across some pics of a client that they did. They colored and flat ironed the client's hair. Her hair looked AMAZING and she has the EXACT color that I want. I am beyond excited about going to this salon. I was supposed to go last yr, but I wasn't able to make the appointment. The stylist spent 40mins on the phone with me for a consult and was REALLY knowledgeable about hair .
This is the pic of the client's hair

It takes so long to get to APL. Maybe seperate threads would be best. I know I wont be there by December.

Um, you are already APL, so you should be looking at the BSL or some thread like that.
