You are growing steady. Just make sure to retain steady.

The ways that I know for SURE that my hair is not breaking is. I make sure it feels moist and supple ALL THE TIME. How can it break while feeling like that right?

I do protein in my conditioners every two weeks/every wash day. Just a little cap full of Keratin or Wheat.

And I seal my ends until they cant move(I'm talking really slicked ends), they will stay and wont curl on themselves resulting in more breaking/trimming.

LOL You know how you lick the end of tread in order to get it into that tiny eye of the needle? That is how I do my ends with grease.

Yea, I’m consistent with everything you stated. I’m averaging 13.5-14 inches right now. I’m just very impatient.

Normally, I wash my hair on Sunday, but I'm going to get up early on Saturday and wash my hair so it can look cute when I go see Black Panther :gorgeous: I'm going to trim my ends too, because I can't remember the last time that I did. I'm also need to find a silicone free daily moisturizer and oil for when I break the cast on my air dried hair. I'm also looking into a diffuser. My hair dries pretty quickly, but it takes forever for the roots to dry.

On break
I'm getting so many compliments on my wash and go. And this hold seems so strong that I feel I will be able to get days and days out of it.

The lady in the demo used the moisturizer from the same line under the gel. I can't believe it, but I'm thinking about getting it and trying it. It has 'cones and all sorts of ingredients I'll have to research. But the lady rated the gel a 9.5 and the moisturizer a 10. The 'cones are at the very end. The first two ingredients are water and BTMS. :up: It does contain a lot of other good stuff.

These are the ingredients in the moisturizer:

Water, Behentrimonium Methosulfate & Cetyl Alcohol & Butylene Glycol, Olive (Olea Europaea) Fruit Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polyquaternium-37 & Propylene Glycol, Dicaprylate/Dicaprate & PPG-1 Trideceth-6, Soybean (Glycine Soja) Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Phenoxyethanol & Caprylyl Glycol & Chlorphenesin, Argan (Argania Spinosa) Kernel Oil, Mango (Mangifera Indica) Seed Butter, Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) Oil, Shea (Butyrospermum Parkii) Butter, Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinalis) Leaf Extract, Aloe (Aloe Barbadensis) Leaf Juice, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Dimethicone, Phenyltrimethicone, Fragrance.

Actually @keranikki I am Silly so that makes her silly bounce right off me. If that makes any sense.

She is ok, but I have to be carful when people say they want to cut my hair. This would be about the 7th or 8th time she has blurted something out about my hair since last April.

Here is another funny one: One time she was putting up the office Christmas tree and bumped her head on the corner a desk. She said "if I had your hair I wouldn't have felt a thing. I would have had cushion" or something like that.

I am not one to be offended(why should I be really) It actually tickles me.

It sounds to me like a cry for help, like she wants you to hair school her.

Awww, I gave her a hair prayer once. The same prayer I prayed when I was bald (due to breakage). She told me way back that her hair was thinning. No woman wants thinning hair :cry4:. I threw her in a few prayers, but I stopped because I forget. Thank you. I also gave tips to my supervisor, because she also wanted long hair and she got it eventually. I'm the only black women here.

I am going to continue prayer for her.

I am having a great hair week! I started off with a really nice and defined braidout that morphed into a soft fluffy fro just in time for black panther day at our school yesterday (a kid asked if I had bought a wig for my costume lol) and this morning I did a bun because I was in a hurry. I might do this weekly, it's very low manipulation and my hair feels so moisturized. That almond jai butter is great!!

Would anyone be interested in a low manipulation challenge? I would love to chat with other ladies who are caring for their own hair and wearing it out, not really protective styling all the time. Braidouts, twistouts, sets, etc. No shade intended to protective styling, I'm just not interested in doing it all the time. Anyone? :look:

Yes I would be interested. When I break free from laziness I will be doing "out" styles. When I was relaxed I did Bantu knot outs and flexi rod sets every week. Why should my relaxed hair get all the fun?

Why are there so many bm that don’t know how to properly wash their hair? And most of them go to a barber? Why aren’t barbers educating their clients? They have clients come in with scalp conditions, smelly hair/scalp, lint, dryness, breakage, split ends, etc and won’t say nothing.. I only know of one that does and has a product line to help his clients create a regimen.

Just damn nastiness!
A man has no excuse, just shampoo when you shower.


Vent/random thought.
I so look forward to being able to wash my hair more frequently when I'm done transitioning and out these braids. My hair and scalp is made for soap and water at least once a week. I'm not built for protective styles all the time, I'm doing this for a purpose, but I couldn't live in weaves and braids all the time, just feels unnatural and gross :nono: . I think so many of us would have healthier hair if we just took the time to wash and condition it instead of hiding it and looking for a magic potion. It's the #1 hair advice I give anyone who asks -- just wash and condition your hair more often. You can't wash it once a month, and then weave it and be surprised that it's dry and then apply heat to dirty hair and gel ? Wtf do you think will happen? Of course this falls on deaf ears so I don't even bother. It's just annoying when you come to be telling me about post partum shedding when your kid is 11 and think your hair is messed up from that and onset menopause?!?! Ohhh... but you wash your hair every 8 weeks, weave, over process and then ask me about hair vitamins to fix your hair woes? :whyme: ... then you dismiss my plain and simple advice and just tell me I have good hair. Ppl get on my nerves.

Off topic, but not really:

I just wish that there were more standup BM out here. :cry3:

Someone told me I have bundle hair as a compliment.

But really I'm insecure about my hair. Because the "bundle" that grows out of my scalp would really only be enough to make someone a nice silk closure.

These women wear 10 or 20 bundles at a time of what I have naturally. Natural curls are so underwhelming compared to curly weave sometimes.

I strongly disagree.
