Yep. If I didn't say it before, I'm saying it again. Shea Radiance Nourishing Hair Repair Cream is ALLADAT!!!!!
I was planning on doing the faux marley bun, but I love what happened when I too down the braids so much, I'll just wear the braid out!

Morning Ladies!!
My hair is still straight even with my workout yesterday. The edges are starting to curl but by me wearing a very thick headband no one can see it
. I am hoping to get another two weeks in (total of 3) w/ my hair straight but my scalp is beggying to be washed. So I might buckle down and DC, protein (2min aphogee) & cowash this weekend. I am trying to prep my hair for its Jan relaxer. So I stopped with the MN (I will resume w/ the MN either 2wks after my relaxer or in Feb), been wearing my hair in a bun, dusting my ends & trying not to manipulate it too much.
Do any of yall ladies have this problem: Whenever I straighten my hair my ends always feel dry. So I always baggying them. The left side is fine but the right side of my hair, the ends feel so dry and stringy. I carefully looked at the ends on the right side and I didn't see any split ends or knots and whenever I wear my hair down, it looks fine. But when I touch my hair on the right side it feels like hay, but only an inch of the ends feel that way, the rest of the strand feels soft. I think the next time I flat iron my hair I am going to switch my heat protectant to an alcohol free one. I currently use Matrix Sleek heat protectant and one of the 1st ingreditients is alcohol. I'm guessing the right side can't handle it
I also dusted my ends last week. That seemed to help alittle.
Happy Growing Ladies!!!

Honestly idk. I've had it fully flat ironed and blown out once since being natural and I washed it out 3 days later. It started to revert by the 2nd day. My best friend hot combed one piece back in September and it reverted back with no problem.

i took my bun down this morning. as i was gently finger detangling, i didn't have any breakage. i do plan on washing today, so we will see how that goes later. i do plan on giving myself another protein treatment today. after that, instead of once a month, i will do it every other weekend. i may get a flexi rod set for Christmas, but i want it to be really full.

My mom is insisting on me getting a Dominican blow out for the holidays but idk. I'm terrified
i straightened my DD's hair last year for Christmas. my mom talked me into it. i didn't know what the heck i was doing. but i did give her a nice trim. plus her hair is so delicate and fine.

Current length: APL
Relaxed
Goal month should be around August because I'm including trims.
My Reggie will be protective styling via sew ins. I wash weekly and I wear then between 8-12 weeks.
I'll also be taking Hairfinity vitamins.
I'll post my start pic when I take it for the end of the APL challenge.

Good afternoon ladies!!! Up in Bantu knot out right now only because I had family come over this weekend. I washed and DC Saturday morning and continued with my leave in followed by sealing with EVCO. I absolutely love my coconut oil. I think I would suffer tremendously without it lol. I'm ready to hit my BSS up to go product shopping. Really need to stock up on my staples
