sunnieb,
I feel you! I'll be 17 weeks post tomorrow. I'm pre-pooing now with Dabur Amla oil, EVCO, and massaged castor oil into my scalp. I'll be co-washing in the AM.

xu93texas - WOW!!! Here I am complaining and I won't be 15 weeks until Saturday!

I'm good now. I cowashed and now I'm sitting here airdrying. My newgrowth is happy. :yep:

sunnieb,

I'm too tired to cowash tonight.:nono: I got my plastic shower cap on underneath a satin scarf and satin bonnet. All in hopes of having moisturized ng in the AM when I cowash.

sunnieb I don't know when last I did pin curls....I probably suck at it again:look: But two banty knots make lovely waves that fall just on the upper chest that look lovely:yep:

I've been a little lazy too...hats and buns:ohwell: But I've still been cowashing - using tea, aloe rinsing and oil rinsing:yep:

Ms. Tiki, did you texlax? Just making sure you don't keep putting it off.

sunnieb, girl I got you. I rocked a sock bun today. The first in a very long time.

sunnieb Nix08, a cheat way for waves is to make a pony tail, two strand twist the hair and secure the ends with something gentle, remove the pony holder and secure the hair away for the night. By morning, you will have some nice waves.

divachyk Yep, I put it off again in favor of sleep. Now I wondering if I should just put large box braids in. I'm wondering if that will cause more or less damage. I'm not running this am so I need to figure something out ASAP

Gotta pop in to call out some folk....

@baddison - Since I'm not relaxing until Aug 18th (16 weeks post) because of you, Imma need you to be at my house in about an hour to detangle my dry hair.

@Nix08 - Imma need you to come to stop by after my cowash/airdry and set my hair in pin curls that I can't seem to do to save my life.

@divachyk - Imma need you to to stop by in the morning to put my hair up in a massive bun since you are the bunning queen. :grin:

I'm feeling so lazy ya'll! Hep meh, hep meh!!!!! :(

sunnieb - Girlllll....I feel your pain. I just co-washed! and WHO IN THE H*** told me to do that!?!?! Its gonna take so much more than an hour to detangle this mess!! But here's a light at the end of our tunnel!! ONLY 9 more days!! whooohoooooo!!! I miss my scalp:nono:

Good luck baddison and xu93texas!! You ladies are Troopers and doing great!

I'm 1 week post today, I have no breakage and my hair feels very moisturized and my scalp feels great. Here's my todo list:

- I'm going to order some cassia this week, no henna because I don't want to change my natural color.

- I'm also ordering dabur vatika oil and more JBCO.

- I'm trying to talk my hubby into buying a really nice juicer

- I scheduled my annual dr's visit for a complete blood work up, specifically iron and thyroid.

Thanks KiWiStyle!
Good to hear you're enjoying your freshly relaxed hair. I also have to get some more JBCO. Let me know how the cassia works out for you.

Glad your touch-up went well. How will you mix and apply the cassia? I tried some White Mountain Henna a few months back but it was such a mess to work with I've been afraid to do it again.

"Cattypus1 I've been doing a lot more research because I'm ready to pull the trigger and purchase. I think I want to go with henna and indigo. I've read that cassia was merely a really, really good conditioner but henna is where you get the thicker strands and strength. It's called a henndigo treatment and I would mix the two for a one step treatment as oppose to two separate treatments. I wanted to keep my natural color button importantly I want ALL the health benefits of henna. Right now, i'm thinking of mixing it with only warm distilled water and coconut oil. I will you know what I decide.

Thank you, I love my natural color too and don't want to change, even for the gray. I'm going to look into henndigo and see what I see.

I gave up on my hair this morning. I mean just literally threw my hands up and said F it! :lol:

One of my bantu knots came loose last night, so that section of hair has this weird flat spiral looking pattern going on. :nono:

I gathered it as best as I could, put in a flexi-8 and walked out the door. I'm so over this.

I hope ya'll are having a better hair day than I am! :)

sunnieb...I am having a decent hair week...once I'm several weeks post I start doing a flat twist along my hairline (with a side part) and bun. If I do this while my hair is damp it lays nice and smooth for the morning (divachyk gave me the idea of doing it overnight). I prefer the look of the twist when I do the entire style in the AM because when I do it damp it flattens overnight. Either way it's a very classy style:yep:
