Okay washed good condition and dried my hair. I had a friend Cornrow it and now I'm under a lace wig. I spray with braid spray at night for moisture.

hi, ladies! happy sunday! yesterday, i went swimming and then washed my hair after. dc'ed with sheamoisture anti-breakage dc. i got the smart idea to do a wash and go with my home made gel. great news: gel worked very well. bad news: okay, why did no one remind me of the tangles that come with a wash and go?! i completely forgot. will not be doing that again for a very, very long time! am washing my hair tonight...just a water rinse and then adding dc again. then, going to do my coils with my homemade gel! :-)
@cherry, i can't wait to use that dc - i leave it on overnight and my hair feels amazing when i rinse it out. will probably do it during the week. i am learning how to swim. i took basic lessons years ago, but am not good so i finally decided to get good. i love being in the water. it's such a work out. i work out daily, but this swimming thing kicks my butt!
@littlebabybug, your hair is beautiful! thanks sooo much for the info and tips. i am going to try to coil my hair tonight. will take pics. i want to do them biggish b/c i am swimming again this week and will have to take them out to wash. plus, this is my first time so let me start a little bigger. tee hee. will let you know how it goes. and yes, love swimming! i would love to swim daily, but that's way too much washing for the hair!
@crunder, welcome!! not too late to join. we don't "officially" start going until Jan.1. just post your info before then and you're in! :-D

Welcome^^^
Okay, so switched back to wet buns. These will be my only two styles for the next 6 months, Wet buns and wet twist sets... I'm also gonna start using monistat again, it worked very well last time I used it in 2010.

Wow Heavy, sorry to hear about the mishap with the wash'n go. I hate that too, but I found if I run my hair under water and finger detangle it, it's not really that hard to detangle thoroughly afterwards. I just don't do them cause I hate first day hair, but the other days are okay. lol Glad to hear about your homemade gel! Is it flaxseed gel?
@littlebabybug, your hair is GORGEOUS. Love the coils, I may try your finger wrap method cause the comb didn't work for me. My hair would start shrinking up the minute I came down and to make it even more ironic, my coils wouldn't hold...? They would loosen a lot at the roots and the ends with hold and my curls (specially in the back) are fairly tight so I don't know why they unraveled so much. Ehh well, your progress is fantastic!
On the up and up, I'm learning (and loving) roll, tuck, and pin styles! Tried my first one the other day, been wearing it ever since. I need to try more but bobby pins just don't hold my hair like they hold for everyone else. I need HUGE ones. Probably why I never do RTP's, but the one I do know how to do is cool. Hopefully by next week, i'll be able to do these doggone marley twists hair. I have not found *Thee* hair I was looking for but just might go with the Equal brand I saw in my local beauty supply. I just need to do something to this hair, anything ya'll!

Yes, I too use to get tangles from washs and go.. My remedy was to only detangle on co-wash days.. I never detangle my hair dry  ... You inspire me to join my nearest YMCA  lol. Swimming can really get you in shape too!
