Does getting the instant face lift not mess up your hairline girl?

Your too smart, it's made my hairline recede, it's also made my buck forehead more prominent.

I see what you mean in your post now  . I am not myself these days. .

I also have a forehead and would hate to mess up the hairline as it would mean double forehead, no thanks, I got enough of that!

What is wrong girl, take time off work if you need to, we need to recharge our batteries from time to time. Hope you feel better soon. . . . . . [/b]

Yup that's it, mine really looked like it was heading down that road 

Didn't go in (went to the doctor) Thanks for your good wishes.

I think half the hair problems some of us have, we cause it oweself. My Mum only ever uses that conditioner I told you about, and then I braid it. Her hairs so nice (sometimes i add bulk hair to hers that's all).

I really thing sisterlocks or braids with add bulk hair may be your answer.

Take care of you, sleep and rest as much as you can. . . . . .illhealth is never pleasant, even if it is minor!

I saw some nice locks on that other thread that also talks about hair, that is when I knew I could grow my natural hair nicely, just need it to grow a bit longer. . . . .then I am good to go!

SA Goddess:

Don't get me wrong Ejadamen, I love my hair natural but don't know what to do with it in terms of styling, you know when it is not long enough to plait/braid yet not short enough to look cute. . . .I am determined to stay natural though, a break from chemicals is needed so I am sticking to this, hopefully to last a life time!   

Hmm. I'm not bothered about styling maybe cos I'm tom boyish. I just wear my hair the way it is. Comb it and go out I want my hair to be about 6 months before I start mauling it. I've seen a couple of hairstyles(can't remember where) where a lady with about your growth of hair wore her hair stylishly rough.You could try that

hehehe, i can imagine the look, but if you are comfortable with ur looks, girl ride on. its good to look smashing at all times, i think u should try and give it a thought

@SA Goddess take a look at these really wicked styles, maybe one may take your fancy.

I also wear my hair a little rough on weekends but coming to work is another story. . . . . .

Thanks Madlady, I can't wait to get my hair twisting, not to be left for long though as I don't want it to get knoted! I must say my hair is growing nicely with each passing day!

Madlady those styles are lovely,especially the first or is it fourth ;wine with bantu knots .
Doubt I would do it though,looks like stress

I love the blonde ones, they look super cool, can't wait!

Lol , I'm good girl . And he seems to be as well .

It's easy honey, I call it by another name and the sides are just canerows. I love that the best, even the colour wont cause you problems later.

SA Goddess:

I love the technique but , I am not sure about bleaching your hair to that extent. It really does make the style look cool though, a bit like the buzz I wanted to try.


SA Goddess very good news, the really lovely girl with the fab sisterlocs just started a thread on this section, her id is @AqRiUs Age, I am going to pester her to death with questions .
Go and check her out if you have the time.

I will check her out madlady, thanks girl.

As for bleaching hair, no colour for me, especially permanent and blonde, I messed up my hair once so not going there again.

I have done henna, I like it because it not permanent and does not damage hair. . . . .why do you have to wait until you cut the hair Nerd? I used to put henna on my relaxed hair (chemically treated) and had no problems. My problem started when I used Dark&Lovely perm colour that my hair was messed up, I cut it a year later because it was just not the same. . . . . . . . . .

What name do you call it by? Besides one needs some length to do that knot,right?

Heard a lot about this henna but haven't seen it anywhere. Does anyone know what product name it is sold under in Nigeria? Also since it is not permanent,that means it washes off gradually right? Does that mean it will stain my pillows?

Inked_Nerd:

You know, you can use henna to dye/color you hair. Have you heard of Lucille Ball? Well, if you do then you'll probably be shocked to know that she wasn't a natural red head. She used to die her hair with henna. When I cut my hair, I'm gonna do a henna treatment on my hair.

Henna is a good way to color hair but if your hair is dark (dark brown and blk) it will not show. In certain lights or in the sun, u might be able to see it, just like how when u put a semi-color rinse in your hair, u may not see it but when u go outside, u can see it glisening (sp?) a bit.

If you want to get the color that henna releases, it have to lighten your hair. I know clariol has a product called illuminizer (i think) and its uses to lift the color of your natural hair. they say its less harsh than bleach and peroxide. You leave it in for the amount of mins u feel will do the job.

Henna is very much permanent. you just cant see it bcuz most likely your hair is dark (i assume). Henna is a natural hair dye and conditioner that bonds to the hair as if it is your hair. If you are blond and u henna your hair, you can not remove it. you have to grow your hair out and/or cut it off. I don't know if u can color over it, but im sure u can. some ppl have tried many ways to remove the color caused by henna by very harsh means. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but for our hair (afro-textured hair), that removal technique wouldn't work bcuz we could go bald for trying it (LOL)

But it does make the hair strong, healthy and shiney.

I call it Chinese bumps, you can add bulk hair to it for added length. The additions are put it in the same way you add hair to braids, you can also twist it in.

Great idea! Now all I need is a pic to show in the market. Wait! Too lazy.I'll prob do it in a month or two.

My henna used to wash out in two months, I would use black henna because my hair is "brown" . . . . . . anyway, I don't really want colour now. . . . . .

I must say I rock a nice rough look on weekends, my hair is growing out nicely, soon I will have to replace the brush with a comb I am also washing it every 3rd day now, it is looking good!

Good for you SA! I look at my hair and wonder why have I maltreated it all this time. Migrating from brush to comb? I'm looking for a giant comb for my hair now.


Oh an have you ever tried co-washing? Washing hair with just conditioner? It's really nice and doesn't strip the hair of oils as much as shampoo does. I recommend co-washing if you're going to be washing your hair that often.

YEP, soon migrating from brush to comb

I am definitely going to start co washing then, thanks for the tip I can imagine it being soft and moisturised nicely. . . . . . how often do you wash your hair then?

Inked_Nerd:

Omgggggg, I'm cutting my hair next weekend . Woooooo hoooooo. I'm so happy. No more of this hair.

NOTHING, NOTHING is as liberating, love it!

You good Nerdy?

All is good with me hun

I am just wondering why I did not go natural sooner but hey, I am here now!

Have a fab weekend, I am off in 30!
