Everyday Hair...The Pretty, The Nappy, The Crazy...Post Your Hair RIGHT NOW!!!

Flexi rod set on small/medium twists. First set I've done on my own hair. Didn't think I had enough flexi's to do on my loose hair, but I see it's doable! :spinning:
 
Wash and Go. I can't wait until my hair grows out. I'm not even sure of my hair type. Any takers?

Today's look. I used the LOC method for the first time last night and braided my hair into two plats. This was the result! I think the LOC method works better for me! Products used: Doo-Gro leave in, castor oil and Olive oil mixed, and finished it with cream of nature leave in cream. Sorry I don't know why my pics keep rotating... :(

Can I have your routine please? TIA. :look:

Sure!

I usually wash every 2 weeks

I detangle my hair with water, and coconut oil. I do this by pulling my strands apart from each other with my fingers and pulling out any shed hair

I shampoo in 6-10 twisted sections (any shampoo)

Then I deep condition in 7-8 twisted sections for like an hour+, no heat (shea moisture deep purification mask)

I rinse the DC and apply leave in conditioner and
oil (kinky curly knot today and castor oil). I apply the leave in and oil to each of the 7-8 twists I DCed in and convert them into braids.

I let the braids dry, and for the past year I usually did a set of medium/small twists that I kept in for 2 weeks before washing again... But lately I've been wearing my hair in buns and braid outs for 2 weeks and then washing again.

I moisturize/oil every few days with qhemet biologics burdock root butter cream and castor/coconut oil. That's about it :)

Great results! I love the LOC method, I've been using it for a long time.

As for the pics, try rotating your phone (landscape). HTH

Trini_Chutney it came out nice! Which wand did you use and did it come with gloves? Do you like it?

Thank you. I used the Power IQ 1 inch iron. It did not come with a glove so I bought one separately, but found it easier to use without it. I think the iron of itself is a bit short length-wise for my hair, but it was pretty easy to use once I got the hang of it. I bought it at Sally's.

I feel ya. You and I seem to have similar hair properties, although your hair seems to be much more dense (I'm jealous, LoL). My flat iron attempts were always poofy even up to 380. This last time I had to add more heat protectant serum and turn the iron up over 400.

I got really great results that lasted until yesterday (2.5 weeks) when I washed in the shower. It only took about one minute under the showerhead for my hair to shrink back up to my chin. LoL

Your hair is such inspiration to me! You have like perfect retention year to year lol. I agree our hair looks very similar, and I seen your post about upping the heat protectant so I tried to use more when blow drying this time. I think I need to find a less greasy serum when I decide to flat iron because I want to apply lots of protectant but still get sleek, non-sticky results like yours. That's the only thing holding me back from apply too much protectant (sticky stiff hair). What heat protectant do you use ?
