Not sure what you're talking about, but I mean the clamper things that give you waves.

My hair's nickname is going to be Garbage from this day onward. When she gets her act together, I'll change it.

Change it now and she'll act accordingly. I don't know why, but this made me chuckle. It can't be that bad.....

Ok let me tell you, I felt bad about my hair Last week because I let it get matted again...I was tired of detangling! But after I trimmed it, it was so so so much better. My ends kept tangling up. What if you did a small trim?

I just detangled one side of my head and that took over an hour. I will do the other side tomorrow. I've been slacking on using my grease! That is what keeps my hair unmatted, I was just so lazy. Time to grease my hair.

I stoped wearing huge buns on top of my head. At work when I look down or tilt my head the weight is a bit much. So I switched to low side buns.

That would probably help alot, but I also need new products and new styling options. My whole regimen needs a reboot. I'm actually kind of excited now.

Me too! After the trim and the reboot your hair going to be like "so this is the new life now? Bet"...*growth spurt* Haha! It's true.That would probably help alot, but I also need new products and new styling options. My whole regimen needs a reboot. I'm actually kind of excited now.

Why has it taken me so long to try aloe vera juice? This stuff has my hair feeling soft!

I wonder when I'll get to the point where I can enjoy my hair being out and feel accomplished?
Its so weird to always be in protective mode to maintain my hair. It's like what is the point of all this. I didn't go natural to have to hide my hair but the way my strands are set up, they wont thrive unless they are tucked away. Its a never ending story and quite frankly, I'm tired of it.
Either I end up cutting it and keeping it short, or sisterlocs.

I typically live by two rules: (1) I don't try new products during the week and (2) I don't wash my hair in the morning on workdays. I broke Rule #1 one last night, which made me break Rule #2 this morning.
I've never tried Aunt Jackie products and bought two items - a curl creme and gel - on sale a few weeks ago. Not sure why, but I decided to test them last night after I worked out. This morning my hair seemed a little dry so I added a little Oyin hair dew. Once the products combined, they formed little white balls that were evenly distributed throughout my entire head. And every time I moved my head, there was a mini snowstorm of little white clumps of product.
I wet my hair some to see if I could get rid of the white balls. Nope.
Tried to scrunch them out. Nope.
Tried to do a mini co-wash to see if I could get them out. Nope.
At the point in my workday grooming routine where I'd typically be putting on my makeup, I ended up back in the shower to clarify my hair and get all of these white balls of product out of my hair. Somehow I was only ten minutes late for work.
There are rules for a reason...

I bought a blow dryer Yay! Time for stretched hair this weekend? If I find a good moisturizer without glycerin for stretched hair. This is so not me lol. But I'm dooiinnn it any ways. I'm tired of detangling so much. TIRED.

Please give me any tips, pretty please.
My plan:
Wash & DC yadadada...
Moisturize with a cream.
Seal with Dax pressing grease.
Tension method, no combs, brushes or attachments.
Bantu knot overnight.
Hopefully HOPEFULLY I reveal something like this...
If it turns out bad I'll still post a pic anyway.

I poured black tea rinse over my Blue Magic Grease and CFCG Curl Activator drenched hair twice this week and my hair is still very soft, elongated and moisturized.
I remember the first time I did this on my natural hair, it shrunk so terribly that I had to end up texlaxing it to soften it enough to comb it.
Another reason why that Blue Magic Grease is staying in my regimen for a long time.

Great style in that pic and it should look beautiful with your hair! I would still use a heat protectant when you blow dry and I wouldn't use the grease until after you blow just before you do the bantu knots.

Taking comparison pics help remind me to clean my mirrors.
Can’t see my hair. Darn kids left toothpaste stains everywhere!

I haven't paid my hair much attention since I gave birth to my baby. Surprisingly, it isn't in bad shape, but I know I need a protein treatment and trim. Now that baby is sleeping for longer stretches, I'm going to try to get back to my routine.

Thank you! I have just changed my mind about the pressing grease. Instead I will use good'ole Shea butter. I just read that Shea butter is a heat protectant so thats the best of both worlds, grease and protectant! Plus I have plenty of it already.

I like to do a tapered sides/back hairstyle. So my friend told me I wouldn’t look like a heterosexual anymore. My face screw all the way up.

I thought I was the only one!!!! They can pull any look together. My fave pair are also an old pair me and my mom found at a flea market but I bet the thrift store is another goldmine for great earrings.

Oh I just love vintage or vintage looking earrings! The flea market is another great spot. I bought an earring holder! 
I have over 100 pairs and I always stumble upon another awesome set. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one.

ohhh i love that earring holder. I went the cheap route and just got that plastic thing you hang up in your closet that has like 100 pockets to put my earrings in. You must have quite the collection. I'm not even close to 100 but I'm getting there.

I know Right? I love that holder, but i have to wait for it to come from China hahaha. It was no more than 12 dollars I think. Actually I really have to sit down and count how,many pairs I have, but I'm sure the number is up there. Not to mention I have so many supplies to make many. We need an earring thread in the off topic. I may work on making a thread dedicated to antique, rare, unique, hand made, painted, drift find earrings so we can share.
