I agree!

PG since ur a junior member already can you or how do you keep a thread as a sticky note in the first few post?  Do u know?

I am only transitioning but I was wondering if anyone else is seeing knots at the ends of their hair...like knots on a single strand. TIA

YES!

Hey... Concerning the first question, I am not sure how to keep threads as a sticky, but something says it has to be made a sticky by an Administrator.  As far as knots in your hair are concerned, HECK YES!  And most times, they don't go away, unless you or someone else want to sit down and pick out every knot with a needle, just to have them come back.  It's just something about curly hair, I'd say.  Oh well, I just deal, it's not too much of a big deal. 

Thanks for the advise cmesweet & pickledgeuse, I didn't start seeing them till I returned to flat ironing...I was trying everything to avoid them but oh well I will just cut them off if I see anymore.

hi ladies sorry for my late response,im all over campus :(

I find that detangling, keeping the moisturised and trimming regularly helps keep my ends good. I went through a phase of not trimming regularly and then all of a sudden it just creeps up on you and you have to trim an inch! MsMocha2007-02-06 07:18:05

I'm sure many people, including myself have air dried in roller sets.  I find it even more difficult to do when you're natural because the hair has to lie flat.  I know what you mean by trimming regularly.  Every time I turn around I see a split end.  I think I'm going to go back to using Mango Butter ..I have tried it on my natural hair just yet.  As far as styling natural hair after washing, girl, I don't freaking know!.. Throughout my transition, I find myself having messed up hair.  But since i'm so dedicated to have natural hair.. I don't care.  Some weeks I may straighten it, and it looks really nice if I haven't put heat on it for a minute.  I guess the rollersets take time and patience.  

I know what you mean.  I just wash & go, even though it looks a mess because a lot my hair hasn't reverted.  I think it's going to take a while for it to all revert to my natural texture, since I blow dried and flat ironed for a few weeks..Anyways, I was thinking today ..if a natural who is extremely curly hair doesn't detangle once in awhile, can her hair dread up?

My hair definetly grows outward lol so I can't wear it out curly right now...I plan to airdry in the summer when I can conwash/detangle often so that it doesn't get matted. But when I did conwash I put it in a bun or added a phony pony tail. Right now I am blowdrying the roots straight and flat ironing the length. HTH

.. Well as much as I don't want to, I trim every 8 weeks or so. For some reason I end up getting some nasty split ends, and that just ticks me off. I'll go as long as I can, but if my ends start looking a mess, IT'S TIME TO CHOP! I don't think no one needs trims if their ends are in tact and on point. Sometimes maybe a little dusting just to keep it nice and neat, but otherwise I say, just let it grow. PS: I can't keep my ends healthy for nothing, unless I just leave them alone, trim, and give them moisture.   All of the relaxed ends won't quit splitting. -- I've never used Shea Butter on my hair before. I need to get a new moisturizer!

 Im Napptural hehe! But I dont believe in trimming, If you keep your hair ends healthy then you dont have to trim anyways is my ethos. Plus its magic for hair growth too! love592007-02-17 08:36:26

Good Advice Love. And I don't know about the ORS Moisturizer. Then again, ORS hasn't failed me yet. From Replenishing Pack, to Hair Mayo, it's been quite decent. It (hair mayo & moisturizer) costs more than a bottle of KENRA, for gosh sakes. For some reason I'm awaiting a "let down" from ORS.

Does any other natural besides em face irregular long stands of her which have a sheeded hair knotted to another strand. I've nocied I hav e alot of long strands like that...and it's pretty annoying.

Well its been a long time since I posted on here....but my hair is now completely natural and I get a blowout about every month to six weeks or so. When it's blown out it's almost two inches past my shoulder which is amazing because when I was relaxed I couldnt get it past ear length. At the start of this horrible Canadian winter I was getting really bad shedding and breaking. No amount of water helped, then I read a post (i'll post the link later - at work now) but the girl mentioned Mizani H20 Nighttime Treatment.. Must say this stuff works like a charm! My hair is now shedding normally, nowhere the amount of hair that was in the comb or in the sink before and there is less breakage. I feel it getting stronger when I come thru it.  This stuff moisturizes as well, so I only use my MTG and WGO once a week. I put the mizani on my ends and comb thru. Roll it back it a bun and pin it up for 2 or 3 days at a time. I only comb it out when I start to look like a hobo .. I find playing with my hair less especially in the winter helps me to avoid those knots and keeps my blowouts longer. I'm not sure about how much length Ive retained, Im due for a blowout now.

Diversiti thanks for your post I have been contemplating getting a humidifer and since I started rinsing daily got my duh moment when I realized my hair loves water lol I think I am going to start flat iron again but like you stretch in between....I suffered a little heat damage using a high temp on a weekly basis.

Thanks for the trimming advise...I went and bought shears to search and destroy and will only get a trim every couple of months...I don't think they were that bad last month but still went in and was mad at the lenght she took off. I will be playing it by ear from now on lol
