I Am So Blessed
I'm easy going.
I washed my hair, but skipped Deep Conditioning.
I just tried their new hair strengthening kit. Not half bad if I say so myself.Aphogee is the TRUTH!
Nice!! I love CBC! Keeps my hair so so so soft. I knew that this was a go to product when I returned natural. I skipped product junkism completely because of fond memories of "the juice".Man, my hair feels really soft. Lemme find out all I needed was some leave in conditioner and some Care Free Curl. If this keeps up, I might end up going back natural
Question: When you hear about new haircare techniques, how swayed are you by presentation?
Does a YouTuber citing research help you make your decision or do you find it pretentious and “over your head”?
The couch be calling me too lol! Plus all these snacks in this house!I need to wash my hair instead of sitting on the couch chilling
The research makes me trust them more. My favorite natural hair blog is written by a scientist (naturalhavenbloom). If someone doesn't have any proof, then I'm less likely to believe them. Everyone swears Jamaican black castor oil grows edges but I have yet to see a study where someone uses it on one side of their head and not the other. Even doing that isn't fool proof because one side could grow faster but it's still a more convincing argument than a verbal testimony alone
OMG @FadingDelilah dont even get me started lol. I understand you. If I had been serious then I would have butt length hair and longer by now *hence the reason I've been so focused on making goals since 3 years ago, trying to redeem the lost years* I think about this several times a week.I hope my mini twists touch shoulder length in 6 months. I installed them today without extensions and the shape is weird. However, I don't wear my hair out at this point so let the long-term protective styling fun begin!

I would have started my hair journey back then.

I bet your mini twists are cute! Protective styling is underrated. I don't see many YouTube guru's doing this.
How many twists do you have?
Yeah it’s annoying and vapid.Alot of these youtubers copy the same facial expresions. You think an expression is/was exclusive to one because her face natural moves that was then you see a newer YouTubers does the same? And they even copy each other's mannerisms...gosh. Most have that goofy/nonchalant-ness thing going on.
Just observing.
Are any of you good with styling your natural hair? That use to be a challenge for me. Right now I’m in braids with a twa but I’ve been watching YouTube videos of those with short hair and I feel like they make it look so effortless. Like when I cut my hair I was just left with a dry fro but I see women with my hair length do coils and style their hair in a way that looks so cute even down the neatly brushed baby hairs. Idk, I feel discouraged bc styling has always been a challenge for me. I always kept it safe and wore a twist out.
"Nice!!" *loudly*Probably around 200. Took me 8 hours cause I'm soo lazy and need a thirty minute- 1 hour break after every section, lol! Time spent twisting was probably only about 4 hours. I'm not fully shoulder length yet. My short term goal is keeping them in two months and learning 2 cute styles.
I feel ya. I think it’s easier to style/deal with when your natural hair is longer and can at least stretch an old twist out into a bun. The shorter it is I feel more work. I think this go around I’ll experiment more with wash and go. It seems the raking method might give me some definition.I'm style challenged. It's easier to do something now that I'm BSL but twa through SL was mainly wash-n-gos. I started actively growing my hair longer because I love the braided buns I see on lhc (99% ww ) but I haven't actually learned how to do any of them yet. I think I'll set a goal of 2 new hairstyles per month. I'm tired of wearing 2 flat twists every day. I can barely style twist outs and braid outs so I never do them.
