I have a wig. Maybe I can just hold that down and practice some. We'll see!

You know I love that idea, lol. I believe that we all should have at least one good "girl" (aka wig) on hand!!! In my case, one just wouldn't do!

@Reese- The funny thing is that I have NEVER worn that wig. I bought it but could never put it on and wear it out. I felt that I looked funny.

Day 5 hair is alright. Last night I just put a bonnet on. I didn't pin curl, pineapple or braid ANYTHING. I clipped the top part of my hair up in the back and kept it moving this morning. It looks better than the ponytail I was contemplating rocking.

I am trying to decide what hairstyle I will try this weekend. Hopefully I can find someone to braid or twist my hair so that I can be free for a couple of weeks.

If I was closer I would hook you up.....but that 3 hr drive is a bit much. I can't even stand doing it for holidays, LOL

Exactly, if I drive 3 hours I am headed to ATL...not Raleigh!

@Pinkrage, your hair is beautiful on your avatar? Is that a flat iron? Did you go to your beautician?

by Pinkrage 11th January 2010, 5:07 pm

@Veela- Thanks! No, I did not go to my beautician for that hairstyle. I blowdryed it and used the flatirons to put the spirals in.

by Veela 11th January 2010, 5:10 pm

oh Lord, I hate the thought of trying to flat iron my own hair. It's so much hair all wild and thick... afro

Maybe one day when I have the patience. your's is really cute!

Well, I washed my hair on Saturday and put it in a bun for the week. My hubby asked me why I was walking around with a knot in the back of my head Pinkrage - Page 3 Icon_mad

!

The bun was hurting my neck when I was lying on my back so I had to move it up today. Now it doesn't bump my head rest in the car or interfere with me lounging on my back Pinkrage - Page 3 Icon_biggrin

. I am in the process of re-working the bun part so that it looks fuller and not like a knot, LOL Pinkrage - Page 3 Icon_rolleyes

Well, last night I tried the sock bun on my hair. Now that I have braces and the fact that my bun was up high...I looked too young. I felt like I should have been going to a dance recital.

SO, I decided to put my phony pony in. YEAH, a protective style I completely forgot about Pinkrage - Page 3 617583

!! My hair is all wrapped up under the pony, no manipulation for the week. It's great. I do need to go pick up another pony tail to match the color I have now but other than that...I think I have found a winner Pinkrage - Page 3 678474

Well I am still rocking my phony pony and LOVING being care free. I do need to find a stronger/better holding gel. I put a lot of coconut oil on my hair prior to adding the gel. I have tried both my aloe vera gel and Long Aid Activator Gel. Neither gels are giving me the hold I need.

by Pinkrage 14th January 2010, 4:13 pm

I am still sporting my ponytail today. I have to wash it tonight and decide what I am going to do with my hair. I leave for DC for the weekend tomorrow. I was thinking about stretching it and doing big bantu knot outs on dry hair.

I don't know if tonight is the night to try something new. I will be pressed in the morning to pack and do other things prior to leaving.

LOL~ i could see my BF saying something goofy like that!

-->what method are you going to use 2 stretch your hair?

by Pinkrage 14th January 2010, 5:04 pm

GURLL, don't get me to lying...I don't know, LOL! I will either band it, ponytail (like CN) or hold it with my hands while blowing cool air on it.

It may be the coconut oil. Try the gel without the coconut oil underneath. Do you have a moisturizer you can use? So it would be leave in (optional), moisturizer, gel then oil. You can also try mixing a moisturizer and oil in the gel. SheeTacular_Napps has a mix she is going to or has used for a curly custard on her BnB Challenge.

Last night, I shampooed, co-washed and conditioned my hair. My hair was feeling soft after rinsing Giovanni 50:50 out (BTW-a few more uses and this product is going to be a HG for me Pinkrage - Page 3 Icon_smile

). I planned on stretching my hair with the dryer. Therefore, I used for the first time John Freida (heat protectant) and Jane Carter's leave in.

I am not sure which product did what but my hair became VERY hard. It was HORRIBLE. I applied so much EVOO to try to soften it up but it didn't work. I have used JC before and if I remember correctly it didn't do much for me then which is why I never went back to it. I am not sure if it's the application of it or what. I am use to creamy conditioners and not spray in's. I stretched my hair on cool so maybe the blowdryer wasn't hot enough for the heat protectant, IDK.

I washed my hair again this morning and put back in my ponytail.

What's in the John Freida heat protectant? I know there must be silicones in it. This may be the item causing the hardness or a combination of the two. I am sorry this happened. I hope you take note so it doesn't happen in the future. Thank goodness for ponytails.
