Thx, yep that is dry hair. I used Shea M. Curling smoothie as my leave in and clear Eco as my styler. I had to cool blast my roots then I banded my hair in two low pony tails with satin scrunchies last night. Last time I used Shea m. Deep treatment masque w/ clear eco and my hair wasn't as big but I had better hold. Hopefully I can get 6 days out of this hairstyle.
Mango Smoothie...try one.

I have dense hair like you, and my shoulder-length locs are very full. I only notice that they are heavy when wet/saturated. However, I've decided that if they start feeling heavy even when they are not wet, or if just a simple swing of my locs could injure someone in their path , I would have my locs cut back to a more manageable length.
My heart hurts when I see a loc wearer with waist-length hair but thin/balding roots because of the heft and strain. I'm not having any of that!DNA's double helix design - ingenious.
A spring coil's power & momentum - amazing.
The gift of nappy hair.....see a pattern emerging? :-)

It took yeeeeaaaarrrrrs, but I finally am retaining length. Who know that all I needed in my hair life were grapeseed oil, soap flakes, and water. I wish I found out hundreds of dollars ago, but you live and learn From stretched APL, it'll probably take me four or more years to waist length.
Shrinkage tickles me. I twisted my hair in smallish twists the other night, and my hair now rest just a bit below my ears. If I want to have waist length hair twisted, my hair stretched has to be down to my toes and back. I adore shrinkage regardlessBy NP member Vavoon. This is me 24/7/365 lol

I got a working week's worth of wear out of this WNG style. My hair was as soft as day one. So I am surprised it lasted so long with no hold. I could have gone longer than 5 days. Well I washed and did medium twists in my hair last night. Took me 1hr and 43 minutes. Now I see why the WNG is preferred.
Mango Smoothie...try one.

Your hair looks so nice! It's all big and looks really soft . The bold is the main reason why I love WNG's. Every time I twist or braid my hair it takes sooooo long .
Went out this weekend and got my supplies for homemade product makin' . I got tools: measuring spoons & cups, tupperware cups, a whisk, a funnel. I got raw materials: ACV, Chamomile tea blend, Hibiscus tea blend, glycerin, honey, unflavored gelatin. I haven't washed my hair in 9 days , and I am so excited to try out some concoctions on Monday.Big Chop: Nov. 14, 2007

It was easy because of the overnight banding and my hair was thoroughly detangled from last time. Pineappling or just stuffing my hair in a bonnet had caused me challenging detangling and weirdly shaped hair in previous attempts at the WNG.

Girl 5 days!! My hair would have been a tangled mess, I'm glad you found what works for you.
What products you making? sounds delicious!!
ETA I henna'd this week for about 3 hours and deep conditioned for about 1 hour and my hair feels so good. I wore a twistout yesterday but I'm back to updo again. Hope to do a length check at the end of this week.
Thanks HivierhairLast edited by NowIamnappy; 03-25-2013 at 02:23 PM.
