Sitting under dryer now with my dc. Think I can hang for 30min.

Since the scalp itching post above, I've been tying my braids back with a satin scarf around the edges instead of using my bonnet. my scalp is not itching anymore. i felt like i needed more air flow and it seems to have solved the problem.

Hi Ladies, still here. Been busy, DH bought us a bigger house so been decorating that and neglecting my hair. It's not in a good state at all, my 5 month old DS keeps pulling out clumps of it, I have dandruff from a relaxer burn, still nursing my edges with castor oil. Will get back on track soon though. Congrats to @HPG and @Prettymetty and other ladies on your hair growth!

Wash day tonight. I feel like trying out some proper protein, especially on my vulnerable areas (it'll be the first time in ages. And I have a new gel to test out

 

[ClassyJSP]

Wash day today but i'm feeling lazy so i'm gonna stop at hair cuttery again and get it washed and blowdried. Good thing they get you out in a hr

I washed my hair yesterday and I swear my arms still hurt...I'm not sure if I am closer to APL or SL but at least my hair is much longer than it was this time last year...

 

[ClassyJSP]

I have a love/hate thing with other people doing my hair. I forgot my green magic at home so I couldn't get her to apply it to my scalp.

 

[ClassyJSP]

Got my hair "trimmed" today looks like i'm just grazing APL now. I'm ok with that I plan on getting my hair braided tonight in a beehive i'll leave the braids in for 2-3 weeks at a time and just wear my wig.

Week 2 of my straight hair. I skipped the gym, lush baths, and long showers for this. But it's back to good ole me starting monday. Strength training, cardio, lush baths, the whole nine

 

[PlainJane]

I don't know if my scalp is dry, dirty, or I have dandruff. I don't like having to shampoo my hair once a week.
I don't work out, sweat, or use a lot of products so I don't know what's going on but my hair has been like this for years.

 

[apple_natural]

I'm going to keep these braids in until the end of May, but then I want to wear a curly wig from... that one place with the long shipping.... forgot it. anyway. If it's not in, then I will just wear it in a bun for a week

 

[CluelessJL]

Had a little trim yesterday along with my relaxer. Need to take a proper length check picture later. I suspect I've lost a bit of ground, but my ends are looking better

 

[IslandMummy]

Did a much needed trim today

@shortdub78 you are so brave! Short hair suits you hey!

Thank you! I had a mishap with a product I was trying out. It was a cowash conditioner made by Silk Elements. It caused matting, knots, and tangles! I had enough! I had to get rid of that hair! I feel free again!

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

Here you go! I posted in the SL thread!

You look amazing!

 

[kupenda]

Congrats @shortdub78 !!! You have the cutest bone structure. And I love how the cut frames your face. Don't tempt me!

 

[kupenda]

My ends feel bushy and tangly again. I'm not happy. So tonight I'm going to moisturize small sections with bekura silk and honey latte and put it in a few big bantu knots to keep the hair stretched and give it a little body. Probably do a scalp massage with green magic as well
