I wish I was still a student so I could do s*** with my hair again

i did it for a few weeks before i realized it was giving me false results

Trynna become a wavy nigga. S*** lowkey looks uneven tho

anybody with hightop dreads try to grow the sides out? My locs are like 4 inches on the top and I'm thinking of growing it out to a taper

or should I just chop it and start again

Been having my hair braided but also been doing more with my natural out hair such as coming it down, curly at the shoulders or a bun etc.

got a retwist and my hair long as s*** now

i hate this maintained, exposed scalp look though. need to get my new growth to come back in and make this s*** look fuller

bruhhh i've been thinking about growing out the sides of my hightop dreads ive had for 1.5 years for the longest time. everytime i start growing it out i cave and cut the sides after like a month or so.

i think imma finally do it though and just leave my hair down all the time while i let it grow out. i aint trynna cut the top off

How y'all deal with dry & flaky hair?

I currently have a fade but it still flakes like crazy.

what was you rockin before? Also what you mean by this? I'm currently in final year of uni and I actually been thinking about s*** like this after I finish when looking for a job

edit: i got locs rn

how often you washing it ? also be sure to moisturize ya scalp with some oils often

i eventually want to braid it back and feel like more on the sides would look better. Winters here so maybe the perfect time to grow it and stick to hats when out in public lol

Wash it like 3-4 times a week

What oils would you recommend?

Bro I seen u in the post ya self thread and your hair is my hair goal

How
How
How

My hair so goat some days but some days it’s garbage

I need the full routine fam 😂

bro trust me when i say it doesn’t look that good all the time

but i got you with the routine

everyday i when i take a shower i rinse my hair thoroughly in some cold water. when i’m doing that i finger detangle and that will help to define the curls.

when i hop out the shower i then put whatever conditioner is laying around the house. typically i gravitate towards cants moisturizing curl activator cream. i find that it works much better than the regular conditioner. i use a generous amount, maybe a lil too much but when it dries my hair looks and feels good. i shake my hair but not too hard or else it will frizz up a bit

sidenotes:
when i go to sleep i always sleep with a bonnet and that helps maintain the curls and speed up the routine in the morning.

you’ll find that sometimes your hair will get tired of some products. it shows by looks. you need to switch up what you use to keep it refreshed. i also mix conditioners to get better looks/effects on my hair

gel is something i never use cause i hate the way it makes my hair feels and looks but my sisters use it and it works well for them so maybe try that

i’ve learned over the years that if i pick my hair my curls will be f***ed up for a while so i stopped doing that. i never de tangle with combs or picks, just with my fingers and some water

wash less bro
idk if you use shampoo everytime but if you are that will deff dry your scalp up fast. shampoo maybe once a week or once every 2 weeks. you can rinse your hair as often as you like

as far as oils i recommend argan oil or castor oil but there’s other good ones as well

Is tea tree oil good?

This why you the GOAT

Thank you fam!

never heard of it but i don’t see why not

no problem bro

yeah you washing way too much. black hair (if you aren't running around getting dirty and sweating all the time) only needs to be washed every week or so, and that's still pretty frequent. i recommend co-washing every week if you feel like you just have to wash and shampooing every few weeks

im finna graduate college dis ain’t what I’m tryna hear.

tbh if I can’t keep the hair ion want the job!

I was like that too with my semi freeforms and idk if it was the cause but after cutting it I got a job. But maybe its because I'm a woman, they're stricter about women's hair. But also I was carried away in a backroom in the airport where they searched my luggage and s*** and asked if I smoked weed and if I ever sold it or grow it and I really believe it was because of my hair.

this where I’m at at. Been rocking twists over braids lately cause I don’t like when my hair passes my shoulder. been growing my hair since 2016, trimmed twice a year.

I think next time I’ll do big braids.

factss they be picking all through my s*** at tsa lmao
