Wurly and Curly thread!!!

Lol. Tried my organic lotion in my hair tonight instead of conditioner to see what would happen. It's not dry yet, but it looks like it's a no-go because this stuff is drying more like a gel. Sadness.

BUT

I got to pretend for an hour or so that my hair was BSL! lol That's like 3 years away...

Hello everyone, I'm joining you and because I don't have an avatar right now, here is me

BTW, is this 3a or 3b hair?

**GRU** · September 27th, 2013, 12:26 PM

Welcome! Looks 3B to me!

**kitschy** · September 27th, 2013, 12:34 PM

Totty, I would say 3b also. Nice curls.

How often do you keep your hair in a protective style such as a bun? How often do you let your curls out to play?

I've been keeping my hair up for a couple of weeks and have been sleeping in a sleep cap, so my curls haven't seen much play time...I kind of miss them!

Also, do you follow the cg routines?

I put my hair up into a bun if that's how I want it that day, but it's not to protectively style it.

I also never sleep with a cap on. It really bothers me and I usually pull it off.

I leave my hair down when I can. I'm constantly fixing my ponytails or buns or messing with my braids or hair clips, and I've found when I leave my hair down I mess with it less. My "protective" styles are up in a swim cap when I'm teaching in the pool, and up for when plopping, usually an hour or so depending on free time. I know it's not necessary to leave it up that long, but I enjoy having EVERYTHING up and out of the way. Plus, I think I look darn cute when plopping!

Curls after plopping today:

It could be more, but sometimes my hair just want to rule. And when I have it in a bun or braided updo, my hair tends to stick out.

About 80% of the time

I only braid it in a side braid

My adaption of CG, once a week low-poo, lots of conditioner, tangle teezer (or a wide tooth comb if I can't find my TT, but both only in wet hair), I oil. Come to think of it maybe is more of a perverted version of CG

Anyway, it works for me

Don't know if had happened to you, but when I do an vinegar rinse, my waves tend to last longer. I wash my hair on Saturday morning and did everything as usual, at 10 pm we had dinner and DH took a picture, I was amazed how wavy my hair looked ....
