Girl, who knows? The water where I am is harder, the climate is different, its colder, drier.... Im going to do some serious trimming this weekend and throw the cabinet at this head... I just hope it works... I try to keep it moisturized as much as possible, but, I moved and it seems like my hair went into shock or something.

That is crazy! What about a clay mask, some prayer and maybe out 20 garlic cloves in a blender with water pour it over your head sit for twenty minutes. Look up the benefits of ground coffee too, I heard that stops shedding dead.

Went to TGIN’s Walmart Launch party and got some goodies!

I truly wish you well. What are you going to do to it?

I’m sure my hair is all kinds of uneven now. I was sick of my ends so I trimmed while my hair was in its kinky state. My ends feel great now. As long as I don’t straighten it, it should be fine.

Girl....

I changed my mind already lol! I washed my hair when I was NOT ready to detangle it yesterday, so my hair was allowed to shrink and tangle very badly. Today I wasn't in the mood either so I was so rough detangling it in the beginning, trying to be quick

my scalp is sore in some parts now and a lot of hair came out. I really regret it and hope no true harm was done. Anyway, I think I need to get a protective style installed right now. I'll be getting faux locs too :look:

I feel like my hair will never be easy to care for.

On a whim I picked up Miele avocado moisturizing hair milk. It has the consistency I was hoping for from the oyin hair dew. I hope I like it.

I bust out laughing at you changing your mind. I do this every day and end up doing the same ole style.

I've been there before with the rough detangling and sore scalp. There was no harm done and it was just my extra sensitive scalp making me think I did something REAL BAD :afro:

. Hair is going to come out. It's just shed hair I'm sure. Also don't worry because your hair is longer creating a bigger ball of hair. Unless you hear POPPING/RIPPING then that's another story.

I'm doing my faux locs TODAY!...I think. I will have to prep first and get the semi-parts together. I won't do exact parts because that's not my style. I don't like the "Done" look. We'll see how that goes.

I installed some individual crochet box braids on top of my natural hair box braids but it made my scalp sore. I took those suckers out and accidentally cut one of my braids. Can't be too mad about it because that was the heat damaged part of my hair. I still can't figure out where the cut piece is though..

fifi134 · May 5, 2018

The first time I was natural, I never did wash and gos because of the heat damage in the front.

Even though I wish the shrinkage wasn’t so powerful, I’m loving my hair today. I lightly rinsed in the shower, added some Suave leave-in, smoothed a bit of gel in and then topped it with some argan oil. Now that the weather’s warm, imma be doing these more often.

I heard ripping

so I know it wasn't just sheds but thanks for the advice anyway :blush2:

I'm sure it'll be fine... after a trim or two. :lachen:

I cant wait to see your faux locs!! I want to get 5 packs Of the Bobbi Boss Nu Locs 14" for mine. They aren't big so I'll need that much. I'm leaving them in for as long as I can :look:

I got two packs (lol @ two packs) of Bomba Dreadlocks Soul 18". Right now I'm detangling for a wash. I was going to just put them in while dirty. Im so lazy and it shows. I braided the hair and diped in hot water. Threw them on some news paper! :lachen:

. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM DOING! But here goes....

I Am So Blessed · May 5, 2018

Side note: if I hear RIPPING while detangling I tell myself "that's hair that will shed any way" :grinwink:

I can't wait to see!! Good luck.

I usually six twists my hair to wash. Well tonight I braided it half way down then twisted it. Oh my gosh it was way way better! My hair stayed flattened to my scalp while still allowing me to thoroughly wash it. This saved me from doing a post wash detangle!!!! (Im always like this :brainfog:

after a wash) I usually detangle before and semi-detangle after. Wow....this whole time I coulda been...

Its the small things that matter. Now I'm just chillin on the couch instead of separating my post wash hair.

I have goose bumps that's how thrilled I am :bouncy:

I Am So Blessed · May 5, 2018

Between not needing to DC every wash and and braiding the base of my twists before washing AN HOUR AND TWENTY MINS HAS BEEN SHAVED OFF MY WASH ROUTINE!! Halla!!!

ItsMeLilLucky · May 5, 2018

I hate when people ask me about to go somewhere, do something else, I end up washing my hair (which is half natural by now :lachen:

) and you still expect me to go somewhere. Sorry, we ain’t going no where today.. :happydance:

Yay! Half way natural!

I Am So Blessed · May 5, 2018

My braids are long!! Almost looking like an Indian. I could kick myself for not restarting this journey sooner! :bricks:

. Why didn't i get an epiphany to stop relaxing sooner :fistshake:

!!

Oh i know why...I was busy being distracted with a misleading boyfriend that wanted long straight hair!! Me trying to be someone I'm not!! Crap! :flush:

I Am So Blessed · May 5, 2018

*sigh* Back in 2016 while watching natural hair videos I'd say "I want braids as long as her's!" and "hair that stretched down to there like hers!" Or "big chunky twists." Now look, I'm here. I made it.

Time sure does fly and hair sure does grow.

Ayesha81 · May 6, 2018

I don't put any oil on my hair. On wash and set day my hair is light full and bouncy a few days later my hair looks flat and greasy like a poured a gallon mineral oil just an oily mess I don't get why my scalp produces so much oil

vevster · May 6, 2018

The Taliah Waajid curly cream has an interesting texture. Like sweetened condensed milk without the stickyness.

But what matters is how my hair picks out tomorrow. We’ll see.

LavenderMint · May 6, 2018

If DevaCurl’s new leave-in works as well as the Wash Day Wonder detangler did for me (cutting an hour off wash day is no joke).....
RIP my wallet.

ItsMeLilLucky · May 7, 2018

Um, random thanks to whomever suggested to add shampoo to dry hair. That shizz works fabulously for both me and the kid

What are the benefits of doing this?

vevster · May 7, 2018

Taliah Wajiid left my hair frizzy. It is in a headband today.

imaginary · May 7, 2018

Two days later and my hair is still super soft from wash day. It could just be the rainy weather but either way I'm pleased.

I Am So Blessed · May 7, 2018

Got-Damnit! Wild Growth Hair oil changed their ingredients. Nothing every stays original in this world. After i use up these two bottles I have, I'm through with them. They just burned a bridge.

Mega Tech been changed their ingredients years ago. So sad. The good products that worked bites the dust.

Growing out this tapered cut is going to be a nightmare. I think I have a plan. I am going to grow out the sides until it is long enough to braid for weaving. Then just weave it up. I know the grow out is not going to look cute. ugh.
