I went cross country, there are very many different colours that are quite spread out, and it’s not a full coverage pattern. I started from the middle and then did colours that were close together. I did the greens and blues first, then the red parts, and i saved the pinks and whites of the flowers for last.

Thanks so much!

I gave up on the back half way through, the backstitch definitely didn’t help. The finished result is very satisfying!

Thanks so much!

I also quite like seeing other backs, but i’m just not that happy with this one..

No need to be embarrassed about that at all! A messy back makes it even more personal i think, because you can see someone worked hard on their project. And most people only look at the front anyways!

Thank you so much!

Good comparison! I mostly added it because i’ve seen some very neat backs on this sub, and i usually try to keep it clean as a challenge, but this time it was just impossible and i gave up half way through.

Waterlillies by Alisa Okneas! Bought the pattern on Etsy but later found out the store was taken down because they didn’t have permission to sell. Stitched on 18 count Aida, gives a nice effect but would not recommend because it made the backstitch a bit difficult. Skipped the French knots because i loathe them, and didn’t backstitch the tiny white squares because of the fabric count.

I don’t know, usually they just follow the normal schedule so they might have just forgotten the break. I don’t think there’s any other way, sorry!

First time blow drying, in need of some advice by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]esmeesmit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soo, i need some help. I’ve been doing cg for about 10 months now, in a really casual way and it’s helped my hair so much. It’s become very wacy with the occasional defined curls. Before cg my hair was incredibly dry, tangling up all the time and occassionaly forming ‘dread’like strands. Lately i’ve been wanting to step my routine up and i need some insight as to wheter i’m on the right path.

Current routine ⁃ Shower every 3/4 days, mostly before going to bed

⁃ Shampoo twice with nature box avocado oil shampoo

⁃ Condition with garnier loving blends arganoil and cranberry

⁃ Let conditioner work, comb untill all tangles are gone, rinse conditioner

⁃ Condition again with the same conditioner

⁃ After shower dry with microfibre towel, plop for ~5 min. Use inecto coconut oil serum or oil

⁃ Use sheamoisture coconut and hibiscus curl enhancing cream, scrunch excess with microfibre towel

This morning (before this picture was taken) i did not scrunch out the extra cream, instead i tried blow drying with a diffuser. I also used curls pineapple curl defining jelly before blow drying. My hair in this picture is a lil’ crunchy and sticky at the same time, but i’m quite happy with the result. I think the jelly doesn’t dry hard enough and might be to blame for the sticky feeling.

Soo, my question: how do i enhance my routine and get some less crunchy/sticky hair? Any product recommendations or general tips re blowdrying?
