No, I had jbco on my scalp when I relaxed and my hair and I are fine.
I tried to stretch my last relaxer but didn't make it, I never make it.
it's like "our hair" is an entity of its own! like a person or something! that's how important it is, let's hear it for THE HAIR!
i LOVE how you said "my hair and I are fine"!
lol @ work I got looked at like I was crazy b/c they wanted everyone to spray their hair for crazy hair day and I said "my hair will be very upset with me if I did that" whoa the stares.
btw, i'm tryiing to stretch, too. why do you say it's so hard to make it BlackGeisha?
maybe I just haven't mastered the "art of the stretch" but once I get to the 6th week I can't comb my roots it's too difficult and I don't try to b/c I don't want to put any stress on my hair. Then there's my edges, I can lay them down with a scarf @ night and they will be flat in the morning but by the end of the day they begin to frizz up again. I don't know maybe, I'm doing something wrong but I always have a hard time.
i'm already edging near 4 months which is my longest ever, so far, but i'd like to make it to 5.
i know NanCeBoTwin stretches as well as alot of ladies on here.....is it the JBCO that helps?
i put my JBCO on over my dc last night and i still have it all on under plastic caps and scarves. (i don't have a heating cap, so this is how i try to keep the heat in there.)
the dc's made my hair soft, but when i put that JBCO on, my hair felt like SILK. let's see what it's like AFTER i take the dc OFF, lol!
Yay, new challenge. Sign me upI plan to order some of the Sunny Isle in the extra dark. I read a thread on here somewhere about the extra dark and ash content, and it being better...IDK, but it sounded good.
But I did order a castor oil pomade. I used the last drops of my CCOM after my wash last night. So my new product should be here my Thursday, which will be my next wash. But I think I am going to try the pomade daily, and see how it goes. I'll keep ya posted
. My buns definitely envy your buns, though.
DC's make my hair soft for like that day!
This has nothing to do with your post, but I just can't get over your hair. It's beautiful! Not to sound vain or anything, but it reminds me a lot of mine
I'm straight hatin' that you can buy it at a BSS. I don't know of a single place that carries it locally much less heard of it. When I say castor oil they say
I was going to buy some JBCO on ebay and the seller was based in Miami so I asked if I can purchase and pick up and he said no we distribute all over Miami. So I go into the BSS and there it is.
Can't wait for the next round to start. I'm totally ready.
well, those folks at work "just don't get it"! they see your gorgeous long locks and admire them, but they have no idea the work and effort that goes into caring for them.
my boss was telling me today to wear my hair how she likes it str8 and down like I had it one day when I flat ironed, and I told her I can't do that everyday, I have to wear my hair up in order to keep it protected and retain length. She said she never heard of that before.
some things that i'm finding are really helping me with this stretch are, strangely enough: yogurt and banana baby food, buttermilk, oil rinses, ceramides, baggy bunning, cowashing, and dc'ing overnight on "dry hair".
it seems that the dry hair just eats up the dc and JBCO like the wet hair cannot. as if the wet hair is already "to full" to digest anymore.
cowashing has taught me that, contrary to many beliefs, water is a stretchers best friend! i used to worry about the reversion, but wearing wet/damp baggy buns, solves that problem.
the oil rinses make detangling easy to do because it coats the hair to keep it soft.
once the water has softened the ng through the cowashing, applying the JBCO (sometimes i mix it with EVOO or a ceramide like hemp oil, just to thin it out a bit) with an applicator bottle directly to the roots of the hair really locks that moisture from the water in and makes the hair incredibly soft.
and the yogurt banana baby food and buttermilk have proven to me, beyond any doubt, that my hair will lay flat, even without the need for a scarf. the protein in those (and the moisture from the bananas) really help the ng and that all important "line of demarcation", which always needs strengthening.
in that dc mix i was speaking of last night, i had AO HSR and those grocery store bought "foods" mixed with other moisturizing dc's, put the JBCO over it and today, i've got hair that is shiny, soft, and closer to my head at almost 16 weeks post than it was at 8 weeks post when i didn't know about these other methods.
please try it BlackGeisha, you might find that it works for you, too!

I appreciate that. It looks as though we have the same texture of hair. My strands are fine though. I am positive that your buns are just as pretty. she's so vain, she probably thinks this post is about her. j/k
You aint right
she's so vain, she probably thinks this post is about her. j/k
