Wow! Op this is the thread I've been looking for! Thanks for starting this. So many heads of inspiration up in here!!! You are all so beautiful!!

Dancing away with the inspiration that I too can go from less than 1/8th inch of hair to SL then APL in one to two years! I know I can!

@Frisky yes it's a twistout. The only way I can get it to look so defined is if I use grease. I used blue magic grease for the twistout in the puff. The most defined twists I ever had.

i'm thinking of going back to grease- cos i need a heavy duty sealer, i just won't let it touch my scalp. Is it working for you? (with regards to keeping moisture in the hair)
I'm starting to think some of my old products aren't so bad after all........

 

[pookaloo83]

@lesedi after a few days it was greasy, but not moisturized. I used the coconut oil one. But then again, my hair hates coconut oil. I should have gotten the blue one. So I can't really say the grease made my hair dry. It could just be the coconut oil in it too.

I only really use the grease when I want a banging twistout. It could be humid as hell and it won't puff up or revert. Have you been in the "heavy sealers" thread? Everybody in there is using grease. They're the one that gave me the idea.

This is what my puff looked like when I BC'd after 18 months of transitioning.. June 19th, 2011 to now.. 3 months of being natural..

Still trying to get the perfect puff this might be the 1st one I was really satisfied with.. The last one..

I used Royal Crown for the first time last night on my twist out and I like the results. I think it will be just a bit better if I still used a little bit of EcoStyler or perhaps I was a little light handed with the grease.

This was right on time. I hate my post big chop hair!!! I'm eight months post and it's at a horrible phase, I look crazy 24/7. All I want to do is wear a cap but I look even crazier in a Yankee cap and suit. Thanks ladies for giving me motivation. I CAN make it!

my hair is at the same stage sis I understand how infuriating that is, it drives me insane
I have found it better to chart my progress in pictures because as much as it doesn;t feel like it's growing, it really is

Why don't you go ahead and post a couple pics? grnidmonster
