2017 Shoulder Length Challenge

Bought the Mane Choice Shampoo with my 25% Sallys Beauty.

Tried it out tonight and it was pretty good. I suds up twice to test it out. I usually only shampoo once. It worked out well enough. I followed up with TGIN conditioner.

I may try something else in the line. I'm hoping this shampoo helps me extend my color. I will find out soon enough.

I put in 6 flat twist on each side.
 
Ok Aunt Jackie's fix my hair masque is a keeper. I used it again, and it gave my hair what it needed after the coloring session last week.
I also did a search and destroy. I'm not trimming anything else until next month. I trimmed a lot between my daughter and I! Our ends are good. I was going to roller set my hair, but it started drying too fast. Next wash day is Saturday. We will see how that goes.
 
I'm getting that occasional familiar itch to start styling my hair more. It always wears off after I get too tired to mess with my hair so often. But right now I feel like messing in it all the time.

I'm not a protective styler so braids and whatnot would just irk me to no end and I would end up taking them out fast.
 
Accidentally shampooed and deep conditioned tonight. The plan was just to co wash but I grabbed the bottle of shampoo thinking it was the conditioner. And then I couldn't just use a rinse out after shampooing so I deep conditioned under the dryer for 15 minutes. Rinsed then blow dried and put my hair in 2 braids. Buying this yellow bird blow dryer has saved my life. Cuts my drying time by more than half. I don't have to use so many sections either.

Anyway, I snapped a quick pic and the tail is covering my neck. Just wish the sides would start moving along too.

Nice! You still have plenty of time for the sides to catch up. You'll be at SL before you know it!
 
I just washed and I'm dc'ing my hair again. I washed on Tuesday, but my hair feels dry. The heat in my home is drying my hair out and I put too much product on it to compensate.
Don't know how I'm going to style. I was suppose to wash my hair Saturday for an outing... this is why I need longer hair. This in between stage is getting on my nerves. I can't wait until the Fall! Lol my bun will look better in my eyes. Maybe I will roller set, then take the rollers out Saturday?
 
Coloring my hair now. I was going to put in two strand twist but I'm just going to flat twist. That should be fast so I'm not up all night.

Maybe I will do two strands next weekend.
 
I finished setting my hair... that conditioner I used doesn't doesn't have any slip. I got a lot of new growth going on, so I had to use my detangling spray throughout setting my hair... I was able able to use some of my big rollers. I plan on flat ironing my hair, so I don't need a tight set. I took back my my hard bonnet dryer (I bought another laptop instead), so I had to fit these rollers under my soft bonnet. It doesn't have an adjustable drawstring. But I decided to dry my hair this way, instead of airdrying. I don't have anywhere to go special tomorrow, so I will keep the rollers in until Saturday.

I do need to get some Fantasia IC heat protectant serum. (Pink bottle) that stuff helped a lot with giving me slippage during my roller setting.
 
Color turned out OK. Put in flat twist towards the crown. I haven't done this style in a while. I can tell my flat twist are getting a bit longer :yay: I think I will do flat twist to the crown and two strand twists every other month so I can notice some progress.

Happy you are getting some hang time!
What color did you use?
 
Mixed blackest black with black just to cover the grays. It came out dark brown with sandy brown on the sides :lol:
I had to think about that for a minute! Lol then I remembered you don't use permanent haircolor. I gotta remember this for myself. I will use a demi permanent next time. I got a few gray hairs right in the front of where I like to part my hair. I'm goin to get a cover stick when the color fades. You know I wash my hair a lot! You made me think about my own hair and how am I gonna keep up with color, without the damage.

The brown looks good on you though!
