single strand knots...



OMG!!!! i have a lot of single strand knots in my hair. funny enough my hair has been in kinky twists. don't know why i still have the knots. am think of get a good trim at the month or sooner.
can stand these knot i need remedies, i will try pre-poo the night before washes and paying more attention to my ends (moisturizing and sealing).that should help:)

thanks Dammie

hair and workplace…

I did my bc last year September after I left the university, then I wore my hair out in twa, in November I got kinky twists till December . I started a new job in December and by February I decides to start wearing my natural hair to work, it didn’t turn out well, the comments, the looks, the jokes, it really just got to me. I wore my natural hair till march but got tired of the comments. I have very thin fine hair and styling is a challenge. I tried
Curly fro


Flat twist out



Updo


I got good review for the updo bun but the gel and brush daily was telling on my fragile hair.
Since then I have not wore my hair out am kind of wait for it to grow out. I know TWA is one of the best times in natural hair, you get to experiment with all kind of stuff but I can get a style that works for my me and my environment.
i will really appreciate your thoughts

thanks Dammie

am taking kinky braids out after one month and one week. the hair still looks good but i did want it to pull out my thin hairs. my hair seem to have grown a few inches.this past month of protective style has helped my ends to grow.am looking forward to seeing how long my hair has grown.
after i loosen my hair i will give it a well deserved deep condition of;
ORS replenishing conditioner
egg
