I don't know why it showed up seperate and not all together and I sure don't know how to fix it lol. Plus I am thinking of cutting atleast 3 inches off, just not sure if now or next t-up.

Don't cut unless it's really split or damaged- which it doesn't look like it is at all! Your hair is beautiful. Wait for it to fill in the way you want it to! Trust me!

Do you have splits? If not, don't cut. If you're feigning to cut, just do an inch max. I understand the feelings of needing to cut though.

I was feigning to cut so I got lots of layers short to long, but the back length I only had trimmed to keep length.

But I still say you should hold out! Your hair looks awesome!

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

No I don't have any splits and do regular trims of at leat 1/4 an inch with every t-up didn't do one yet this go round to figure out if i'll cut more than the usual. Here's a pic after a big trim back in Feb.or March, b4 the pic I posted with the blue and white stripe shirt.

Ifyou cut right befor your hair takes a growth break you'll be frustrated and down like I was

Ok ladies this is the last quarter of 2010. What are you doing to step up your haircare game and reach (or get really close to) your hairgoals? Regimen updates styles CW DC ?

I'll start: I'll be stepping up my haircare game by scalp massages every other night before bed, CW leave in conditioner oil bun/PS every 3 days. CW airdry flat iron or try a wash n go or twistout when I want a change. S&D only when I need it no big trim until after I reach goal I'll do Feye's method for self trims.

I plan on hanging out in these braids until Dec. Weekly Wash, Infusium, Braid Spray. If by some miracle I can keep them in past Dec., I will DC in sections one at a time and do s&d's until Jan or Feb.

Omygoodness is that you?!!! You've been hiding all that beautiful hair from me this whole time?! smh. Yes, but I really need to stop cutting and letting people "trim" my hair. Challenges on the board, seeing your length and other ladies like you is helping me a lot. So please don't trim

It's frustrating sometimes but you're so close just hang in there, keep on working your regimen and your hair will be HL in the blink of an eye.

What's your stg and ltg for the rest of this year?

 

[Lucia]

My STG: to reach full WL and sl-apl curly
LTG: full HL grazing TL curly I have no idea how long or shrunken it will be since that's a length I've never reached before.

Ok ladies post your STG and LTG

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

My stg is to reach full wl by December
Ltg is a natural wl blowout (hoping that will make me hl bone straight)

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

Hey ladies, waves! LOL, for the rest.of.the year I'll be doing mainly flexi-rodsets styled different kind of ways. I am also doing scalp massages atleast 3x a week with my cinnamon and castor oil mix. I also started doing henna gloss treatments every 2 weeks to strengthen and help with thickness. Since I DC twice a wk I shouldn't have a problem with moisture. I also started doing molasses treatments talk about moisture.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

Oh yeah forgot to say I cut 2" off my bottom length and 4"off my layers. The happy part is I measured my hair with a measuring tape post cut and it measured 29 1/2" and HL on me is 31 1/2". Hopefully by my next t-up in January I'll be back at HL. :~0

 

[Spring]

I heard pretty good things about molasses, so I might give it a try too !

Hello everyone! I tried to upload pictures for the Sept reveal. I set up my camera and I saw it fall in slow motion... into the toilet. RIP. I took some pictures in Sept but they didn't come out too good. They're on my blog. I know I won't make it to hip length in 2 months, but that's ok because I joined Whimsy's challenge. This has been my favorite challenge this year.

BostonMaria,

I've heard of people putting their cell phones in rice after their phones were submerged in water... I don't know if that really works, but I've heard a few people say it worked for them.

ETA

goodness.... I don't how people detangle in the shower... LOL I'm underprocessed and it's detangle day (wash day is tomorrow, but I have to paint and don't have a lot of time to detangle), and it's taking me forever just to detangle a small section..

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

Girl I liked it sooo much I put the leftovers in my boys hair my oldest son has 4b hair with a little type 1 his texture is weird, anyway I didn't have to put anything in his hair all week and was able to comb through with ease. Even he noticed, he was so happy I said I'll do that every Sunday.

That sounds too good.... now I guess I can find it with the brown sugar?? And maybe put about 2 tblspns in my conditioner?? Where and how do you mix yours. TIA

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

I think I found it near the honey or sugar cane. I mixed it in with Nexxus Humectress this time, but the first batch I mixed for my daughter I used Lustrasilk Shea Butter and she had the same moisture and shiny results I poured a lot of.molasses in atleast 1/4 a cup.
