lamaria211, rehab. It is time my sister, we must take that CREDIT CARD, and PUT IT IN a tupperware of coke! and black food coloring!

WHen I thought about how much products I had, how long it would last, and broke down how long one product lasted me. It helped me to realize what I really needed for the year.

16 oz of Treatment -Protein last me a 10 months - 1 year
16 oz of Moisturizing COnditioner last me about - 6 months - 10 months
Wen 16 oz last me about 3 months
Leave in sprays of 8 oz - last me a full year

As I did this and confirmed it so, I realized things would spoil before I have gotten a chance to use it. I had about 5 years worth of products last year. Honestly, for me It didn't make any sense for me to have that much stuff. :nono:
I didn't bother listing it not because of shame, but because I'd take an hour or more to get that list together.
This year I am down to 2 years and that for me is fine. I am not buying more products by the boat loads. When your ready you will find the strength.

Im done I swear im going cold turkey!
 
I really need to put my hair up and away. I just don't like the idea of weaves, wigs or braids. *sigh*

And why does everyone and their mammy have a blog? Lol. It really is laughable.
 
I should probably wash my hair today. Just knowing I gotta stay under the dryer for two hours just makes me cry. Maybe I'll wait till manana.
 
cowashed today for the first time in a LONG time. i need to make cowashing a regular part of my regimen, it really replenished a lot of the lost moisture and made detangling much easier. i'll probably go out and buy aussie 3 min deeep conditioner so that i'll be able to cowash/quick dc all at once :)

just baggied for the first time too. spritzed my hair with my moisture mix, formed a loose cinnamon bun, pinned down my edges & tied a sandwich bag over the bun :P can't wait to see the results tomorrow morning!

watched shorty2sweet59's latest youtube video...seriously considering ampro as my new styling gel (most likely the clear ice though, i don't like the look of the brown gel)...
 
i need to focus on my dd's hair. her dad called himself washing it, and baby bye! did he use dish washing liquid or something? her hair is so dry, tangled, and she has some knots going on. i am thinking about rewashing her hair tonight or tomorrow, but she needs a deep conditioning treatment. i might put that in there first, and cowash.
 
Hubby will be traveling most of July. Do you know what that means? Hair Party Time!!! :dance7::dance7:Somebody hide my credit cards.:grin:
 
Remembering I have another bottle of castor oil in my stash>>> Can you say frown turned upside down!! :grin:

NJoy I know you are about to have all types of scents that he hates going on while he is away. You are about to have all types of fun! :lachen:
 
My hair has officially rebelled against glycerin.. so I am forced to use glycerin free products for moisture...Glycerin just makes my hair dry and weird feeling now...it didn't use to be that way.

Back to the drawing board...but I can't complain...at least I am feeling my way through..
On another note, even though my hair detests SheaButter, it has a love for hemp seed butter and avocado butter. Therefore, all is not lost...
 
I seriously regret not ordering the Sedu flat iron when I recieved a 50% off coupon via email a few ago. Why oh why did I not buy that flat iron right then and there?!

Arian - do a thread search. Pokahontas did a thread recently about glycerin & how it reacts to the weather. I see you're in the south. The rebellion may be due to the extreme heat.
 
I tried Creme of Nature Argan oil edge control yesterday and I really like it more than ORS Edge Control. It goes on a lot smoother with the same results. I am hooked!!
 
That does it. I'm gonna take myself off of all these supplements and just eat better. Time to detox my liver and kidneys...just because it seems like the right thing to do. :ohwell:
 
Two random thoughts.

I have two whole bottles of sweet almond WEN and I wanted to trade them in for two other scents. So I called but the lady said I can keep the two bottles and get two samples as well. She'll just delay my next shipment until October so I can use it all. So I got lavender and the new mango coconut. I asked for the gardenia and she added that too. So i should be getting that next week. :drunk:

I want to cut my hair from BSL to APL or shorter. My hair is very fine and my ends look see-through. I've been using mild relaxers for about a year so I've got a few inches of thicker, fuller hair, and I want to "transition". It's not fully texlaxed... just not not bone-straight. I'm just happy SO is supportive because he loves my hair long.

nakialovesshoes, it's funny that you mention that. My friend made a post on a natural board saying how dry and brittle her hair is due to the heat.

Honestly, though, perhaps there is some benefit to moving on from glycerin. At least, I won't have to worry about the inconsistency...Last night, I used Darcy's Botanicals Cocoa Bean Smoothing Cream and her Pumpkin Seed Conditioner as a leave in. These are both glycerin free and my hair responded really well. I sealed this goodness in with hemp seed butter. And my hair was quite happy.

Ms. Tiki

And he's tired of my baggies and me taking so much time detangling. Nah who's gonna check me, boo?

He's supposed to be out of town now but I called him back for a couple days. I think he's leaving again in the morning til this weekend. Need I say more?

:dance7:
 
Advised a client how to transition from relaxer today she even got out her iPad and took down notes! :-)

i think i'm going to transition. i miss the fullness of my natural hair.

I just used some of this for the first time as a leave in. I've been shopping my stash to try and find no glycerin products. My hair is doing well without it and it hasn't been shrinking up to my ears and turning to cotton candy when it's humid, yay!

Oooh, and I have that cocoa bean stuff too....hadn't yet checked the ingredients on that.
