Hair plans for the week??

Hey lovely ladies,

Just thought I would start this post to find out what you all have planned for your hair this week?
Anything new, exciting or a tradition you plan to stick to...?

For me, tonight (Mon) I am going to co-wash hair after my workout (first co-wash ever!), then i am going to braid out and curl with flexi rods as i struggle with keeping my curl for more than 24hrs really on the permed ends with braid-outs. Adding the rods was a tip a few of you suggested - im hoping this works cos if it does, I shall be wearing this style for my wedding anniversary party this coming Sat night, might spice it up with an accessory maybe, but will see how it looks . .wish me luck!

I'll report back tomo on my success...or lack of!

Hey Chrslvsbnks
Let us know how you get on wont you and Dito! Just mustering the courage to wash, well co-wash (1st one!) my hair, it's 5.45pm
Here in UK and just had nice healthy dinner, and relaxing after work, but also got to make a bag for a customer (as make clutch bags in spare time an hair pieces). Just not motivated this eve... Boo!
I will though, hubby is off training in couple hrs, will do it all then

I plan to wash (shampoo) my hair today or tomorrow. I'm gonna do a protein treatment using Aubrey Organics GPB conditioner. I'm not sure what style I am gonna be wearing this week.

my plan is to pin up my two strand twists I put in on Sunday.

yet another rodset The last one I got to last for almost two weeks and didn't have to do much of anything but sport my satin bonnet. Hopefully I get just as lucky this time around.

After transitioning since 9/17/09, I am getting all of my relaxed ends cut off on Wednesday 9/22/10, by my hairstylist. I will try to post pictures. Wish me luck.

Yes, it is time. I can not believe that I made it. It's been a long year. Thanks

Hey ladies
How are you all, im up at work, been here an hour already (its Tue 21st - 9am) - i think im ahead maybe time wise??
Well, my hair plans this week were to co-wash and get a good braid out last night, did it, minus the good result . . so despressing.....here are the results and process in my curl street journel if you care to take a look - in fact, it might give you a smile a little (and me now i have calmed down lol!).
I am gutted though, i wont show off and pretend im not! http://www.curlynikki.forumotion.com/the-curl-street-journal-f14/kez-newly-transitioning-pics-included-t6405.htm
My hair is pants to me at the moment (Pay Back!), Transitioning is not fun today!
My hair is getting so soft, which i LOVE but seems to make styles harder to stick!?
Im panicking cos i need a style for my wedding anniversary party Sat night, dont want to look pants and dont want to flat iron hair . . .but I cant wash'n'go for straight ends and apparently i cant wear braid outs how I want them, only success so far is 2strand twists in Bantu Knots - But i get a lot of shrinkage, but 2strand twists didnt work well either - my hair isnt as course as i thought, course sometimes worked well for holiding my styles lol!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! xxxxxx

Oh wow, good luck Naturally Esq - exciting, cant wait to see pics - pop one on here also if you dont mind so i dont miss it!
Good luck, wooohoooo! Excited for you xxxx

Hey Kez,

I'm sorry you didnt get the results you desired. I have one more suggestion. Try doing more braids and smaller rods. Hopefully that will yield a tighter curl.

Hey LynnieLuve,
Thanks for tips, keep'em coming!
I will do just that, i had about 22 braids last night - goodness knows how many i need then! My hair is super duper thick and i know i have stubborn ends at present, but arghhh, soo annoying, look forward to ends being gone, I have about 3'' give or take in places, getting there - kinda! xxx

Hey Chrslvsbnks,
Thanks for that - I thought that ref products too - but I was hearing/seeing peeps put quite a lot on and thought since i had less success perhaps i needed more, but im in agreeance i dont think it is the case!
I will skip the extra products and see - was so frustrating, but im not being beaten....! Patience, I need to develop it as thats whats led me to going back straight in the past and I dont want to be defeated ha ha!
Ill check out those Vids too, thanks hun xxxxx

Hey girls - Right in attempt to salvage my barnet and find a style i can be sure (or pretty confident at least) will work for party sat night - i have damped my hair a tiny bit and just added some moisturiser (Olive Oil based) and have put into 14 2strand twist bantu knots - so im HOPING, when i wake tomorrow, i have some curl, not bloody rats tails! here's hoping . . so this week - i just want to wear my hair full stop and will be grateful for any curl - from twist or braid out!
I'll let ya know in the morning (well my morning!)
Have nice eves/days/sleeps depending where you are xx

Congratulations Naturally Esq!

O wow, we finally get to see pics!!!!

I was feeling lazy this week so I've just been wearing my hardly defined twist-outs pinned back. I like teh loose and wavy texture. Each night I simply apply KCKT finger de-tangle re-twist all over and wear my satin scarf to bed. In the morning i unravel it and pin back/up depending on the way the hair lays. No brush or anything needed. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Hey girlies!
Hows everyone?
Ok, so did a dry (well wet hands and sections) 2strand twist bantu knots last night - all i added was Olive Oil Moisturiser since I had a fair bit of prudcut from night before failed braid outs!
I did about 14 twists, slept in them with satin scarf (i have to band mine once knotted and did Bands too tight - ouch to sleep on!!) - but they were a success - really really bouncy springy curls!
I have some pics, unfortunately cant really see the definition as my iPhones not got a flash on it!!
But anyways . . here you go.

I didnt like this, put the headscarf on as I have a fringe (bangs) and it ruins the shape at the moment and I had sooo much shrinkage, about 1/3+ of my length....
SO i put it into a messy french roll at back, kept scarf and left top messy - hte curls are pretty tight just not picking up so well in pics!
Finally, I feel some success again! This works better for than Braids as its my second success, braids, had none really lol! Keep practicing i guess!

Have a fab day ladies xx

Your hair looks so cute like that!

It looks like two strand bantu knots is your go-to style. Your hair looks great!

Thanks ladies,
I agree as they've worked both times, shme
I detest sleeping in them though...:-(
But if it gets me through transitioning healthily then I'm happy!
Will just keep practicing the braid out in diff ways and sizes!
Thanks for support! Xx
