I think it still looks good, it doesn't look like it's reverting, but it does look a little weighed down. Maybe you can get through the next 5 days by styling. You could pull the front back, or a nice pony tail. Or you could roll it with some sponge rollers. Play with it and take pics!!!!!!

Hey guys, I'm just checking in. My hair is upset with me. I have over blow dryed!! I always do this. I will go heatless for about 3 months then heat crazy for a few weeks and I always end up with splits. I don't know why I don't learn!! So I have vowed no heat for 6 months!!!!! Wish me luck. I have been wearing my hair out and I started the month off with a DC. Now I normally use all natural products but I've decided to venture into silicons. So over the weekend this is what I did. Starting with dry hair I detangled, and put into 6 big braids. I shampooed with giovanni smooth as silk shampoo while my hair was in the braids. I'm ventured away from my mud wash but have decided to go back to it. My hair didn't feel srtipped after the wash, I just like the mudwash better. I deep conditioned with shea mositure anti breakage mask. Now here's where the silicons come in. I read that silicons are bad for your hair because they coat it and block mositure from getting in, and they also block mositure from getting out. So they make your hair feel nice while really it's not doing so good underneath. So I figured if I did a good moisturizing dc first, and then put a silicon on top it would lock the moisture from my DC in. So I used Avanti Silicon Mix condidtioner. If you've ever gone to a dominican salon you've smelled this conditioner LOL. So I rinsed the shea, put in the avanti, let it sit for about 30 min and rinsed. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My hair feels amazing!!!!!!!!!!! It's a week later and my hair still feels amazing. However there's a down side. My hair isn't holding any definition so it's kinda just puff and fluff. The real test will be when I wash away the silicons and see what my naked hair feels like. But it feels really good and has a nice sheen. I'm going to dc every week but I won't use the avanti again for at least a month. How are yall tweaking your regimens for winter? I haven't figured mine out yet. For December's challenge I will be DC'ing weekly, and I will do massages as often as possible. I've been wearing my hair out but I gots ta trim asap, and once I do I will probably twist. Random pics of the past fews days below. Sorry for the book.

Oh and I did a lazy length check. I will do a full blown one in January when we hit the 3 month mark. This month I didn't have to much growth in this spot. My hair did get fuller though, like you know how all the hair is hitting the mark and not just the tippy tip. How'd you guys do for November? The first pic is nov to dec and the second pic is oct to nov. So I'm definitely making progress.

But I will be doin everything else in the challenge such as the DC and massages. I joined the 5 month PS challenge that is on here, I believe someone from this thread just joined too.
I'll be sure to share any pics if I decide to use any of my free days.
This was my hair yesterday after a week of being up in mini twists:

Hey guys!!! I hope you all are getting creative and experimenting with different twist outs braid outs bantu knot outs lol and all the other outs there are. On the day before yesterday I unpinned some medium sized twists I had in. (My hair had been stretched since I took out my braids over a week ago). I had moisturized and seal the day before so I just added flaxseed gel as a styler. Then I put the twists on perm rods (about 2-3 twists per rod)....after they dried I used the Anita grant monoi de tahiti to take then down and I separated each twist twice. Here's the look:

My hair feels really soft and smells great!!!! It's also to preserve some twists and get another style out of it before wash day. Doing it on stretched hair increases body and movement... If and of you try this let me know!!!
I'll be pinning up the curls in some way so that I'm still rockin a PS.
Oh and how's gigs water intake coming along???
