Welcome firegvan!

Bat! Are you happy with your new cut?

Im still experimenting with LOC. This time I used the milk for leave in, coconut oil for oil and a tiny bit of shea smoothie for cream and it was too heavy, too much. Hair looks kind of stringy when I take it down. I got a new leave in conditioner that I am eager to try next time.

ALso, I have discovered something weird about peacock twists. Last time I cut my hair was thin ends yes, but also because I couldn't wear it up anymore. Even wearing it in a peacock twist I would start to get a knot on one side of my neck and get a bad headache. Well, this entire growing out time I have pretty much worn my hair in a cinnabun held with really nice sturdy claw clips. The other day I tried a peacock twist with a clip and within 30 minutes I had the knot in my neck! I took my hair down and put it back in the bun and it went away. So, for some reason the peacock twist pulls a neck muscle out of alignment? I dont' know, but it never occurred to me that something as benign as a peacock twist could cause me problems! I wish I had experimented more with buns before I cut my hair, but oh well. Thought I would share just in case anyone else has problems with the peacock twist down the road.

I kind of hate it lol, but it certainly feels much better, actually feels soft getting rid of most damage but I feel a bit lost at what do do now

Maybe the way the bun is anchored, the weight is distributed more evenly/in more places with multiple clips or anchor points? I also have an issue with a peacock twist causing pain at the place where the clip pulls down on my upper layers in the center back. Sometimes I will make the twist to one side and anchor it close to my ear, to help with this. But, it looks silly.

I can't do buns yet because of my layers, so time will tell whether or not a bun is better for my sensitive scalp than a twist.

Yep! Mine surely seems to.

Thanks for sharing, that's very interesting.
