Dajewel's Hair Challenge^_^

here are the pics!! these are pics of my three day twist out. i can keep a twist out for at least a week because i don't really separate the twists as much. i plan to co-wash and retwist on saturday:







i preserve my twist out by put into bantu knots. works like a charm every time!



the last pic is a good example of why i constantly have HIR disease!

so, here is another update: i found some really cute (and mad cheap) hair candy at F21 a couple of weeks back. It was like I was in hair candy heaven cuz they had MOUNDS AND MORE MOUNDS of head bands!!!!! and each headband was about $2.50 to $4.50. I loaded up on a total of 5. Will post pics of them, but here is a quick pic of one of the mountains of headbands at F21!

thank you!!!! i don't remember what prompted me to use bantu knots to preserve my style. My hair is even more fluffier, bigger, wilder today! I love it!! I will post shortly!

That hair looks good girl ;-)

thanks, intelligentbeauty!!

hope all is having a wonderful holiday!! these are more pics of my hair during the week that the twists were out (last week). i plan on just wearing my hair in twists for the majority of a month, and then letting my hair out for a week.
















the reasons am doing this are:

1)less manipulation=more growth
2)keeps them pesky one strand knots at bay
3)keeps me from playing in my hair
4) playing in the hair + working w/chemicals in the lab=bad combo for proper product quality assurance and hair damage
5) keeps hair moisturized
6)protects hair
7) am just pure lazy when doing my hair. i just do the bare minimum in keeping hair moisturized and sealed

I have hair envy..my hair is not that thick? I adore it! Love your results!!! Rock that twist out!!

beautiful hair!!! I am glad that I'm not near F21 right now, or I would be going broke

don't worry!!! your hair will get longer and thicker in no time!! i am looking for picks from a year or two ago so that you can see the difference, but don't know if the picks are a true representation cuz they just show my hair in two strand twists and no fro. you and your hair are on the right track!! i adore your curls!!

thank you, Kea!! Your curls are so darling!! The variety in hair textures in the Diaspara is amazing, ain't it!! Yeah, F21 got some serious hair candy!! And we just got a mega F21 in Florida Mall, and that F21 is so sick!!

So what hair candy did you buy?

lynnieluve, love the hair!!! its REALLY growing!!

as far as hair candy from F21, i purchased about 5 frilly, colorful headbands. i prolly won't wear them for another month cuz tonight is co-wash/dc hair night. i will post a pic of my hair candy finds shortly.

Your hair is so thick and gorgeous! Can't wait to see the hair candy.

Thanks! Yes it is growing.

My hair loved being deep conditioned with olive oil and coconut oil. I think this will be my staple deep conditioner because the store deep conditioners dont do a thing for my hair.

I need to start getting me some hair candy. I am not really big on hair accessories.

I think I will either wash my hair wednesday or saturday and I definitely plan to try your olive oil and coconut oil deep condition. I hope my hair loves it as much as yours does. You have beautiful hair.

I agree with Adiaha...you truly have beautiful hair!

Now show us your hair candy!!!!

Love the twist out; such thick, brilliant hair!

thank you, Bindy, Adiaha, Freestyles and HumanNature!!! I really appreciate your compliments!!!! compliments make me feel warm and fuzzy!!!

Here is another pic from last week. I really do believe this pic doesn't do the style justice. The hair was really big in the beginning of the day, but i guess the shopping and hanging with the family made it look flatter. i was trying to achieve a side frohawk look. it really worked because it made my hair looked even more bigger. i even got compliments while i was out and about!!

Love it!!! That's how pics are sometime. They never tell the full story.

thanks, lynnieluve!!! oh, and those hair candy are coming right up!!!

I LOVE the latest pic!! That hair is HOT to death!!!

thank you, SDO!!!!!!!!
