I love seeing all of these different protective styles from the ladies. I finally stopped being lazy with my hair and put some cornrows in. I'll have up pics on my fotki today. It looks really nice, and I'm happy that I won't have to worry. Now, on to keeping my hair moisturized. That's been my biggest problem: I know I'm now going to try and drink as much water as possible, and when I shower daily, wet it and put some oils, maybe my coconut oil mix. Since it's getting warm out, I think I'll lay off my sheabutter as anything other than a body butter. I'm going to try and keep these cornrows in for two weeks. I think I can if I keep my hair from getting dry/getting scratched out.
I'll definitely keep y'all in the loopI would like to say thank you to whomever it was out there that PANKED me! You're a true blessing

I wish I knew all those years ago that my hair needed oil.
Not gel. Not grease. Not perms. Not hot combs. Not tiny extensions. Not tons of conditioner.http://www.faniq.com/images/blog/Geo...on%20Dance.gif
Why, yes! I am happy! How did you know?

I detangled and washed last night. I was a little apprehensive about what detangling would be like, but it didn't take any longer than it usually did. I used a wide tooth comb instead of my denman, though. There was no way a denman was passing through that. New cornrows will go in today.
One benefit of going to the gym: increased arm stamina. Surprisingly my arms weren't really tired, yet it still took me 2 hours to detangle.

I've been wearing only protective styles, lately.
Just simple buns with flat twisted bangs.
It only takes 5 minutes to do in the morning and i'm starting to love the way protective styles look ever since this challenge.
A lady my mom's age or older recently walked up to me before work and asked me for tips on maintaining natural/kinky hair and she asked me what I used, how often I washed, she told me her hair problems, too. I felt bashful during the conversation but it's great that i'm making a difference and am setting an example.

I think I want to get myself into the habit of doing my hair more often... I should be able to make it a part of my routine now that it is summer and I have a little more time to myself. I'll aim for once a month.

So, I did my hair the other day and it wasn't so bad! I used Naptural85's (youtube) yogurt dc and wash method. While my strands didn't exactly "melt apart" they were not that difficult to detangle.
While I am firmly APL all around (and BSL in many places!!!) my hair seems thinner than usual... I think breakage and excessive shedding is robbing me of denser hair. So I am going to try to do my hair every two weeks until I leave next month just so I can do incorporate scalp messages, dcs and regular oiling and moisture to my routine.Last edited by assia; 05-14-2013 at 11:12 PM.

My hair had gotten thicker and I was short on time, so used night twists as my day style one morning, about five weeks ago.
The folks at work loved it; and I was so busy, I kept it up - redoing them every day (they'd mat if kept in too long).
Went back to loose hair last week - it seems thicker, and moves. No tangled ends. Hardly any hair loss when combing
Guess I did a protective style without planning to

It took years but I finally found my super simple method to grow and retain my hair. My hair felt my smugness, and it now wants to not twist or twist out the way I want it to. So you know what hair? I'm going to take a break from you. I'm ain't giving you the time of day.
I've already braided/cornrolled my hair for the past couple of weeks. I'm thinking about doing this for couple of months to avoid heavily styling and manipulating my hair. I hope to see a bit of progress. I hope to be grazing BSL by the end of this year and hopefully WSL in two to three years.By NP member Vavoon. This is me 24/7/365 lol
