Are you
going to change your hair style or regimen for the warmer
weather? I think I will be wearing more braid outs and phony
ponies. I did this last summer and my hair really benefited from
the frequent washes and not using heat ( even though I only use heat
about once a week).
Well on Friday, I had my hair lightened and trimmed for growth(i'm trimming by the moonphases for the rest of the year). If i achieve my short-term hair goal by june- i will be wearing my phonypony, if not then i'll continue to wear my fro.

Diamondprincess!! I was wondering the same thing!! My sister is great at braiding hair so she will be doing my braidouts. I LOVE my hair loose and I will find it hard to bun all the time but I will be cutting down the heat usage to about twice a month.
Carmeldiva!! My family has a long line of Native American roots and we always trim by the moon phases. I think it does have some significance. (I believe you trim when the moon is waxing) It's amazing the knowledge our ancestors have about little things like trimming hair!!
That's so cool, Honeydoo. well friday was my first trim by the moon and i have scheduled two more prior to this year's end. I will let you know how it it's going after the second trim in July.

I think i will wear my hair out alot more in the summer, braidouts and such. Hopefully, I will be able to do a pony tail and i'll wear that. I like to wet my hair alot more in the summer, i think by this summer I will only be doing conditioner washes, but thats a big IF, i feel the need to clarify my hair often, I guess i will do a no shampoo challenge for myself.
Sounds good Cmesweet! I'm enjoying my braidout so far although I have not mastered sleeping on it without messing up the curls. What do you use to keep it moisturized? I just bought S-curl moisturizing spray and have been misting it on my hair. It works great. I think wearing it like this will help me from measuring my hair all the time. So by the end of the summer, I'll be surprised by the growth. (Although I do have new growth already.)

I just use a spray bottle with water and a light oil (to seal in the moisture) Do a light spritz, make sure to spritz a distancefrom your head, I do one on each side. That way it will cover a larger area, than if it was close. Then I just put my fingers thru it and call it a day.
I did my first twist out last night, I just did a section since today was wash day for me. I had been wanting to try that style but could never seem to get my twist to look right, I love them. I plan on wearing my hair in twist outs alot, as a way to avoid heat. depending on how long the style, I might add a conditioner wash or two each week.

sounds great!!! I am wearing a twist out right now and i love it, so crinkaly (sp?). I took it down last night and well let the crinks stay. I am thinking about twisting it up for the rest of the week and takeing it down Saturday night and wearing a twist out Sunday. I'm not sure how long it will last but it looks good at this moment.
I know I ALWAYS say that I'm going to start wearing twist out and braid outs more (Which I am), but let me tell you, it is Hard for me because I'm use to wearing my hair loose all the time. When I can't touch it or play in it, I get frustated. (I know, I need help.) I do like the styles though. My main concern was keeping them moisturized and in good shape.
