On the Grow and Keeping it Simple
I think I'm going to start stretching my hair before styling. I've got the deep wave curlformers but that takes awhile to install. Maybe banding...

Washing my hair every day has been one of the best things I have done for my hair, at least for the time being. My mom shampoos her hair every day too, and her hair always has grown crazy fast. I guess this is just what works for my hair needs.
I think I'm going to try a variation on a "wash and go" and do wet twist outs for a while. It will give my curls a little stretch and I can focus more on how my hair feels vs how it looks if that makes sense.
My hair feels so feathery and silky! It feels like different hair! I have been using Aussie moist shampoo and condish. Daily shampooing is so good for me.

Right? Who the heck is going to dupe those complex chemicals that make me bite my tongue trying to pronounce it. I just wanna know if it has coconut oil because my hair hates it. They act like its some secret krabby patty recipe.

I got to hug some idols (k-pop) yesterday but the only thing I could think about was whether they could smell the unrefined shea butter in my hair
Oooh! Which idols?

Hi @Sharpened 
You recently purchased the mane choice crystal orchid biotin gel right? How are you liking it? I like it a lot so far, it smells really good and has good hold.

Wrapped my hair out of pure laziness last night, back to pin curls tonight. I'll add some Giovanni serum and be all set for work tomorrow.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you have mostly been a frequent cleanser? What do you think is different about daily shampoo and conditioning for your hair? I kind of want to try it too. My hair loves water and it accepts moisture better after shampoo.

Yes I have always been on a frequent cleansing schedule but I would shampoo like twice a week and cowash in between which I think was causing too much build up on my hair (the cowashing). It's not so much that I need to shampoo daily, I just need to shampoo each time I redo my hair which, lately, happens to be every day. Completely removing all product before styling again lets my hair breathe and like you said, allows it to accept moisture better
give it a try!! You may find that it works really well for you too!!beingofserenity

Okay, that makes sense! I think I may fall under the same boat in that shampooing to remove all product when I need to redo my hair is more effective than co-washing or just water rinsing.

Try diluted apple cider vinegar.

Apple Cider Vinegar...white vinegar may be way too harsh on your hair and scalp.Guys... I skipped wash day.
I'd like to find an in-between scalp refresher because I do not want shedding and my scalp is oily now for some reason??? Its been two weeks and I finally see flakes so I think two weeks is my scalp's cut-off date. Imma try three-parts white vinegar to seven-parts water and just rub it into my scalp once a week. Hope it doesn't leave a scent that lingers. I know that when I clean with it the smell goes away so we'll see. If I can do that and it actually WORKS? Wash day... goodbye.Wait... this might not be so good, actually.

African threading is my new favorite way to stretch my hair! No tangles, locks in moisture just as well as baggying--and best of all, no more ssk's. I just wish I could wear it as a style. I know that some people do, but I haven't found one that I find wearable that doesn't require the ability to part straight.

How long does it take for your hair to dry when you do this?

The scent is medicinal to me, not bad, tolerable. The hold, softer than Eco Styler, but firm, meaning I cannot break the gel cast. It works better on not-so-wet hair. I still need to play around with the amounts, though.Hi @Sharpened

I have been reversing my DC and cleansing. I rinse my hair thoroughly and then apply my DC. I steam for no more than 15 minutes and then cover and either use my hothead or my heat cap for about 45 minutes or so. I detangle and twist and then rinse and shampoo focusing on my scalp and letting the hair get the run off. I'm not breaking lot of hair and mostly what I see are long shed hairs when I detangle. Styling after this is a breeze and it seems to take less time when I do it this way. My hair seems to love this.

Really? I've been using the white vinegar and its led to a much more moisturized scalp. Also, I've heard acv leaves a scent. And I only use it on my scalp, not my hair. Any kind of vinegar would close my already vacuum sealed cuticles even more *shivers*

Sticking to my plan of transitioning instead of just cutting off my relaxed ends is looking to be much harder than I thought. I just finished washing my hair and my new growth was looking like 
while my relaxed ends are looking like 
. I can't seem to stop them from tangling and I'm only a few months in. This is going to be a long road.
Also, I just found a new conditioner that I like, Queen Helene cholesterol. Made my hair feel great, but why is that stuff so thick?

I'm not totally sure. So far, I've only done the threading when I didn't have to go to work or school, so I've been leaving it in for about 4 days. It's always dry by then, though.

DH asked me to wear my hair out. It's looks really nice.
I simply told him "No, I'm not ready!"
There was some other comments, but I simply proceeded to start these twists.

They aren't very popular since they just debuted and are from a small company. they mostly promote in Japan as well (which is where I live right now). They are called Zetta
In other news though, I saw Shinee two days ago!!! I was like full creeper mode lol
We were just supposed to go to their apartment and watch them get in the car and go home.
When we got there and we were the only fans there I knew that something was off lol
Turns out it was their 'secret' apartment and the only reason we knew where they were was because the lady who was driving us had a friend that lived in the same block and had seen Key one day by chance. lol
We saw them all and I died. I literally am still dead now lol
