@GettingKinky I'm not sure. It was grazing butt Crack length in June but I trimmed about 2 inches then. It seems as though those inches are back. I'm contemplating a blow out in about 2 weeks so I should get more confirmation then.

I know the length feels less intimidating when it's stretched. That's why I love roller sets. I just need to get back in the setting mood.
How long did it take to get from wsl to bcl?

Wow! That's a lot of hair. I can't imagine even trying to roller set all of that.

So I sprayed my head with AVJ straight about an hour ago and massaged it. A warm, slight tingle came over the top area fifteen minutes later.

What was that?

I realized my scalp is still sore from my comb-out last weekend. I hate my scalp so much...

When I've used up my nexus, I plan to stick with Shea Moisture exclusively. I want to use more natural lines and I like how ascessible the brand is and also how there are so many lines to choose from, so I will probably never get bored.

I think I'm going to add in a modified wash day on Sundays. Probably a cowash and quick DC. My hair is doing fine with once a week washing but mentally I need to wash twice a week since I was just washing daily. The decrease is too dramatic and it's a shock to my system. Lol

Currently trying that egg/grapeseed oil mask that allegedly grows your hair overnight. I added msm and rosemary oil to it. After this I'll cowash and oil my scalp with my new oil blend because I wanna start trying out these hair growth aid thangs. Everybody can't be lying!!!! And I know I'm not going to ingest that msm so might as well put it on my head.

Your posts about that NurCreations DC have me itching to try it after the no-buy. It looks yummy!

Am I the only one who collects her shed hair, week to week? I noticed a large decrease in shedding this wash day that I only know because I've been holding on to the shed hair balls.

I washed and conditioned last night and put my hair in two strand twists. I tried something new tho, S Curl and then my camille rose gel. I was pretty heavy handed w/ the s curl just to make sure my hair was well moisturized. Then I applied the camille rose gel. As my hair was drying yesterday my twists we're so sticky! I was worried that I used too much s curl and my hair would be really sticky. Today my hair is fully dry and twists feel so soft! I haven't taken them down yet but I just unraveled one and my twist was so soft and springy. My twists feel so moisturized and not sticky or greasy at all. I look forward to seeing how my twist out looks and feels tomorrow.

If you see me posting about politics in the future, please PM me and remind me I told myself I'm done with that and need to focus on hair, health, and happiness. ;)

ETA: And humor! Can't forget that one. Humor is medicine for the soul.

@YvetteWithJoy I already have the Banana Styling pudding and currently use it. I use it for my 2 strand twists and love it. It's creamy and has a faint banana scent, nothing overwhelming. it sinks into my hair and makes it soft.

:yay:

Mmm!

Do you think it would be good for defining hair? I was also thinking about using it for two-strand twists that will stay under a wig. Does it act as a good moisturizer? Leave-in? Curl definer?

TIA!!! :kiss:

Idk if my hair is growing faster from these vitamins I'm taking or what but I need a touch up. I was going to wait until November though. I guess I will have to go back to my wigs again

Wow. Cool deal! :smile:

Is flat ironing a REQUIREMENT to make the BBB Cream (is that what your keratin treatment was called?) work to help elongate one's curls? TIA!

I've done that and will still do this if I feel the need to monitor my shedding. I usually get rid of my sheds after eyeballing them at the end of a wash.

My hair is really thick so when I wig it I just slap it on and position it,

I may do one comb but trust at work it's just on lmaoooo

Let's just say don't make any sudden movements lol as long as you move slowly and no quick jerking or etc you should be good

Good luck fellow hair sistah :toocool:

I hope my wig stays put today. :look: I have a slight headache so I don't want to deal with combs or bobby pins. I just slapped this bad boy on and said a little prayer. :lachen:

Took my twists down this morning. My hair feels really soft and light. I thought the gel (Camille Rose) would have given my hair more of a hold because it normally does. All the stickiness from the Scurl and gel are gone. Not sure how this combo will hold up in humidity. We'll see how this goes for now while the weather becomes cooler.

I took out my marley twists that I had in for 2 months over the weekend. washed, deep conditioned dried in braids.
Today i put my hair in a ponytail using Model Model Mojito twist weave hair. I had to tuck it under instead of leaving it out like i wanted to.
This hair is too dang hard! I even soaked it in vinegar and conditioned it and its still too rough!
I may have to go back to using loose bulk braiding hair to make a bun. A shame because I wanted it to look like i let my hair out in the ponytail.
