The twists in a bun looked very professional, and I love styling my twists so now when my hair gets longer I have a lot of styles to steal...I mean, use. I think my twists look childish hanging in my face so I have to put them up, don't know if you experience the same thing, I think yours looks cute.

I also love your highlights, seeing all these colors makes me want to get some but I'm still scared!

I hope your interview went well too, have a good day!

Believe me, I was PETRIFIED!!!! I've never done anything like this before, but they make these kits very easy to use. I also felt a little at ease doing it because I've finally established a routine that works well for me. Dryness wasn't an issue for me before, and even with the color, it still isn't (of course, it's only been a couple of days... lol)

Hmmm, well that helps a little bit to know you were a little uneasy too lol. And it's nice to hear that it working out well for you as far as dryness.

Maybe I should get a little more comfy with my own routine before I really think about doing it. I mean i did it with a relaxer (my stylist put it in) so really, natural hair should be easier right?

That bun and suit was perfect! The highlights came out very nice! Good job!

I like how the interview hair turned out and I love the color on you! Very nice!

Thanks ladies.... I didn't get color in all the places I wanted, so I'll have to enlist help for more highlights next time...

Hey ladies!

I'm a part of CocoEuro's 3+ inches in six months challenge!!! Did official length check with pics... thought I'd share:







Hope you curlies are good!

Loving that "splash" of color!!!! Looks like you are APL!! I am hoping to be there by my 1 1/2 mark.

Love the color! Awesome growth!

Thanks!!

Currently doing my overnight dc in preparation for flat ironing tomorrow!!

Oooo! I cant wait to hear how it goes and see pics!! I want all the details. I plan to flat iron my hair as soon as the weather permits.

I'm halfway there!!!! And Lynnie, I won't forget a single detail!!!

Woah, she's on the grow...

what she said!

Alright ladies, here's the rundown:

As promised to my hubby, I have flat ironed for my anniversary (which is SUNDAY!!!). While surfing youtube, I found Westndnian's method for flat ironing. After washing, she DC's and does so overnight. She uses the Megasilk moisturizing conditioner stuff, but I didn't have that. So I made my own Frankenstein concoction:

HEHH
YTC
1 tbsp of QB AOHC
1 tbsp AVJ
some cheapie condish I had (I think it was Suave) to make enough to totally saturate my hair

I applied it using her Relaxer method (as if you were applying it to virgin hair), baggied, and DC'd overnight...

This morning, I showered and rinsed the conditioner out. MAN my hair felt good!!! I plopped while watching The View, then got ready to blow dry...

In small sections, I added my leave-in, detangled using my Denman, and spritzed with the Megasilk heat protectant. After blowdrying each section, I used just a dab of QB AOHC, specifically for my ends. Hence, the huge, soft, and fluffy blow out!!!

Then using my 1" flat iron, I iron small, one inch sections, spraying with the heat protectant again to be safe. I used the highest heat setting (400 on my flat iron I know but I only passed through each section twice).

Here are the results:




It looks even better in person.... and my hair is so soft!!!!!
Hubby will be excited, I'm sure

GORGEOUS!!!! It looks really good!!! You have me excited for when I flat iron my hair!!!

SN: Are you referring to Wwestndnbeautyy?

LOL, yes Lynnie--thanks, because I totally jacked up her name!!!

Definitely DC overnight. I've only flat ironed one other time, and my hair is much more smooth and sleek as a result!!!!

Hopefully, this will mean a 2-3 week styling break for me...

Absolutely beautiful! Great job!

Thanks, but I'll be honest: I'm quite bored...

Is it wrong that after 3 hours of work I want to go dunk my head in water already???

I think I'll do a flat twist out on it tonight to give it a bit more body...

What leave in did you use? I watched a few YT videos and most people used Aphrogee's leave in.

YOUR HAIR IS GAW-GEOUS! You did a really good job!

great job love the color, the straight look!

I love your hair!

It's absolutely beautiful!

YOUR HAIR IS B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! Your hubby is going enjoy running his fingers through ALL that hair!!

Has it been a year already? (it is 1 year right) WOW that time flew by!!! Congratulations just in case I don't make it back over here!!!

Again your hair is beautiful!!!!

Your hair looks so thick and healthy. Absolutely beautiful.
