Struggles, Revelations, Progress, and of course LOTS of pics

Love the 11 day hair ...

Girl no you did not bore me, that is very good stuff to know. Keep us posted on what happens. I would love to try it.

great research I am curious about the outcome. Will come back to see the banding pics

I like the 11 Day hair too! It looked better as it got older.

The tea mix sounds interesting. You are a true researcher....guess that's the budding pharmacist in you. Looking up and documenting all of that stuff. I'm glad we have people like you and dajewel....I'm too lazy to to it. I guess I would if I had to but I don't thank goodness. Maybe I should consider it though, you just never know what you might be missing out on that your hair/body can benefit from.

Anyway, please keep us posted on how that works out. IB recommended Horsetail and Peppermint tea for my rinses and/or spritz mixes. I haven't tried you. I've been unable to find the Horestail but will do a peppermint rinse this week/weekend.

Hey JNB that hair was long lived and you were rocking it. That was great info on the tea spritz!

Your hair is a soldier!!! 11 days? My scalp and hair would cuss me slap out! It's funny how the longer you stretch the style the better it looks! It's super cute and I love chunky twistouts! It's a good look! Thanks for the tea spritz info! Definitely something to try very soon.

Does the tea contain all of these ingredients or are you adding your own, too?

Thanks everyone. I'm glad I didn't bore you. I love researching things.

@Dva, I'm sure there are indeed better teas, which I will buy in the future. This was really more about me using what I already had in my cabinets. Lol. And once I did the research, I was pleasantly surprised to find it was full of goodies.

@Curlsgalore- The tea had all of the herbs in it. The only things I added were the aloe vera, oils, and glycerin

@Sisterboyd- Thanks for the link

I hope I didn't miss anyone. I'll definitely keep you guys posted on the spritz. If I can perfect it and get some fragrance oils, it could replace Oyin Juices n Berries for me.

Here's some more pics of my hair on Day 11 or 12. I forget. Lol. But I pulled my hair into a high puff. You've seen my puffs before, but I was just excited because it's getting longer so I can pull it back further and higher. Yay for growth!
















Look at that bee-yoo-tiful puff. It'nt she purdy???

Purdy puff!!! You have a high puff now!!! Yay!

I know I have said this before, but your hair is GROWING!

Yes CG! Finally!

And yes Rose, it is finally sprouting.

I'm so proud of you JnB....you have come a long way from posting pics of your BC and stating you didnt know how to style your hair to now walking around with FABULOUS 11 or 12 day hair....LOL!!

Twist, braids, and puffs....OH MY!! Keep up the good work!!

JnB- that puff is cute. I need to learn how to do one. What kind of band do you use to pull it up?
