@TheRoyaldiamond In this vid I was 8months post relaxer

I have a question. I got a sew-in and the lady braid my edges to tight. so my question is what should i do to grow my edges back before i take my sew-in out?

[missthis897]

@Sh3lli3R It may take time for your edges to grow back if the tightness has taken them out. I would suggest using diluted castor oil. (dilute with other light oils such as jojoba) and make sure to keep any stress off of them in the future.

beautiful hair...I just love it!

I'm on my stretch and I decided to do a protective style(box braids). Well I did it and I realized after the 11/2hrs..in some sections I had some thin ends. I'm think of doing a good long stretch. So here's the question. I'm MBL and I'm wondering should I cut my hair to allow it to come back together? Or not? What do you think @missthis887

[missthis897]

@allakayefranxoxo Im super late im just now seeing your comment. Do you mean that you have a thin section in your hair and your wondering if you should trip it all to the same length? In box me.

Hi, I'd like to ask some advice? Two nights ago I did a rollerset on dry hair, and it came out really nice the next day. Fluffy and bouncy. (My hair is neck length). But last night I decided to use some leave-in conditioner (quite a lot) and some oil to seal... this morning my hair was a disaster!!! It was dry and crispy. SOO much breakage!!! :(

How do you maintain a curly style so it lasts a few days? I'm concerned that using my usual conditioner will destroy my curls, as I can't spray it on.

[missthis897]

@MsMary123100 Hey there! It sounds like you may have had an overload from the leave in. Some times too much product can strip the hair and leave it dry. For my curly styles I will usually pin curl the curls, or just tuck them under my satin bonnet. For moisture you can use the oil only or use maybe a quarter sized amount on ur entire head.

@missthis897

Hi, just wanted to say thank you for your advice and sending you some love from the UK! xxx

I love the way ur braid out turned out full of body and volume...u r my hair-spiration!! LOL!! I love the braid out look on me as well but unfortunately everytime I do one I get lots more shedding then usual when I detangle my hair :( So I now opt to doing bantu knots which goves my great (looser) waves that I love!!

[LongHairDontCareLLC]

your braid-out tooks really good! very shiny!

[missthis897]

@LongHairDontCareLLC LMBO!! Im taking it day by day. I will be 9 months post this week so im excited about that. I dont want to rush it yet so for now im gonna ride beside you in the "indefinate stretch " boat until I get around 11months post LOL.

[tamoniva12]

Very pretty braidout.

[missthis897]

@tamoniva12 Thank kindly!

[MyPureBeauty10]

looks good...do you do a braidout on semi damp hair or air dried hair?

[missthis897]

@MyPureBeauty10 Normally I would do it on my hair when its about 75% dry but this time i wanted to try something different. I noticed that the "krinkle" was looser this time as opposed to when I do it on 75% dry hair the hair has time to "set" a deeper "krinkle"

[lailajean]

looks fabulous as always Jmarie.... keep it up

[missthis897]

@lailajean Thank you lady! im trying to get to your level with the styles =)

[mahogan1brwn]

Ooh! I like it. Your stretch is going so well.

[missthis897]

@mahogan1brwn Thank you! Im taking this stretch day by day.

[BlueBerryYumYum23]

I LOVE big hair!!!! <3

[missthis897]

@BlueBerryYumYum23 LOL Thank you so much. I guess at this point the big hair look is growing on me. I cant really tame the "volume" LOL

[KellyJelly9976]

Girl, key word = thick!!! I love it!

[missthis897]

@KellyJelly9976 Thnk you!

[terrycloth97]

Wow, I sooo can't wait to get to your length, I'm almost there and I have been keeping my natural hair straight because I think this can help some hair types grow faster.

[mcelweewife]

[atinob43]

[missthis897]

@Steffmd25 LOL Thank you so much. I guess at this point the big hair look is growing on me. I cant really tame the "volume" LOL

[MsChanteJ72]

Lookin' good girl!  Are you still 'stretching' or have you decided to transition? : - )

[missthis897]

@MsChanteJ72 Hey lady! Im still "stretching" as of now. I want to make it to atleast 11 months and see what state my hair is in before I change the title to transitioning.

[MsChanteJ72]

@missthis897 I think you'll be just fine @ 11 mos and beyond! You're doing a great job managing the two textures!

[ladydipset88]

Nice! I think it would have came out more crinklier if you did it on damp hair and air dried..but it's still cute!

[missthis897]

@ladydipset88 Thank you! I usually do it on damp hair but I wanted to try another technique and see what happened with it.

[wam785]
