I'm still appalled at how ignorant some people are when it comes to black hair. I just don't say anything anymore.
 
Soooo excited! I know I'm mad late, but I just ordered my first steamer... my bf went in 50% with me for Valentine's Day for a Heutiful Hair/Facial Steamer... Can't wait until it arrives! :D:lol:
 
Just took out senegalese twists yesterday. Don't think I will get them again. The tangles and matting are sooo not worth it. Setback city :(

I got mine last year and I love it, I actually have the LCL stand steamer but after a while I became annoyed with having to assemble it plus it takes up space unlike the Huetiful.

So I conditioned and detangled upside down liiike this

and I really like it! My neck started getting tired, but my scalp feels sooooo good from all the blood rushing to it :look: I also applied my gel (in the shower) right after rinsing (also upside down). It was very refreshing to feel the spray from the shower rush over my scalp in the opposite direction. After I applied my gel I grabbed all of my hair and sorta twisted it up on top of my head and used my claw clip to keep it in place and carefully stood back up lol. My hair was completely out of my way while I moisturized and got dressed. Took the clip out afterwards, and shook my hair into place. I might start doing this from now on.

I just can't get over how good my scalp feels right now! It's like my scalp never gets enough blood flow or something because it feels great.

ETA: I loved how defined my nape was! I never see my hair like this

Might have to lurk in some of the relaxed hair threads for tips for my mama. Her hair is double processed (color and relaxer), thin/low density, DAMAGED, an all around mess basically. She's even more hair lazy than me so the issue is getting her to use the products and techniques.
 
Having to renew my subscription to LHCF makes me cringe. I don't wanna spend money on it, even if it is just $6.50 for an entire year! ~pouts~

On the plus side, I'm liking my hair today. I decided which DC out of 2 would be my staple, and now I have my air dried hair in geeky Minnie Mouse buns. I actually think they look kinda cute. I could revolve a whole outfit around this entire hairstyle :look:.

Took out my braids and I had good growth, but I cut off about an inch off every braid I took out because I had way too many ssks and splits. Feels much better now. I want to do braids three times a year but I feel like my hair can't take the blow dryer :/
 
I want to do lucy's hairstyle, it looks simple. I would do a banana clip in the back . I would use flexi rods. Would I do for the back the flexi rods rolled under or spiraled? The front looks like it's spiraled left and right

I've got so many different hair textures. My hair is crazy! And random! It fits my personality :look:

But seriously, my hair is such a random mix of curl sizes. What must it be like to have only one curl pattern all over?
 
I have a TWA under all my relaxed hair. This is awkward as hell to manage. I pretty much give up trying to feel my scalp. at the same time, i hate that my edges are straight. still undecided what to do with my hair so i'm seriously annoyed with myself.

Are you installing them yourself? Maybe you can do a curlformer set or some other roller set first instead of blow drying.

That's a really good idea! I completely forgot about my curl formers. I don't do my hair myself but Im going to practice that and see if I can perfect it before next time I go to her. Thanks for the suggestion.
 
Been rollersetting my natural hair...love. I'll have to post some pics. It stretches out rather nicely to say it's still just 3 inches. So cool b/c this was my nighttime regimen when I was relaxed. Just now I don't use shampoo or NTM, just a co-wash and set with water. Can't wait until it starts growing out :)

It doesn't have to be perfect since you will be getting braids. And it should defintely come out as nice as blow drying it.

I need to make sure I remember that if I ever decide to get braids or twist.

:lol: spellinto -- here's something to help you feel better:

10 things more expensive than a 1-year subscription on LHCF:

Lunch anywhere that has silverware
2 gallons of gas
1 dozen gel ink pens from Staples
1 movie ticket
1 latte and a muffin

1 pint of Ben & Jerry's + 1 box of tampons
5 hours of off-street parking in most cities
1 month of Netflix

:grin:
 
I thought I was satisfied with my length, but whenever it's straight I keep expecting it to be longer. It's BSL if I pull on it, but when its curled it only looks APL. I think I still want another 6 inches of hair.
 
Man I hope when I finally relax I can keep some of this density and thickness. I'm loving my blow dried hair at 8 months post! Its probably gon be luscious at 15 months post!
