Love sleek hair sometimes but I'm starting to like curly styles on me finally. For a long time I hated the way I looked with curly/wavy hair.
 
I received the best compliment at church. Someone told me that my hair is getting longer. I must have hairexia because I don't see anything but shrinkage. But my progress si noticeable and that makes me feel good. :)
 
So I figured I should take hemp seed oil internally, in addition to putting it on my skin/hair to reap the full benefit. That was a good idea...in theory. I took a tsp and hours later, I still feel really queasy :perplexed: I'll stick to putting it on topically and taking fish oil capsules.
 
Best braidout ever in life :lol::

cowash w/ cleansing conditioner
LOADED my hair in a conditioner I use as a moisturizer
sealed with castor oil
4 braids while still wet (2 sides, 1 crown, 1 below crown)
waited until dry because usually I'm impatient
then shook it out gently to fluff.

So soft, shiny, and defined. I think waiting until it was completely dry helped and the shaking. Usually I smooth it down. I love it. :woot:
 
I'm PS'ing with a loose bun like I always have. I laugh when I get advice on dressing a corny Bun up. No thank you. I couldn't care less to make my Bun cute, attractive, alluring etc. if I'm wearing a Bun it means " I don't care to style my hair" duh ;P If I'm wearing a Bun it's evident I don't give a crap to dress it up. Yeah they can be dressed up, I just don't care enough to do it. Give me vanilla bun and I'm happy with that. Oh and ive come to despise weaves and extensions. This from a former addict *shrug* I'll never let that fake hair touch mine ever again. Not braids,wigs,etc. none of it. Ok maybe a Wig from time if I ever get the courage to wear one out in public again.

Lol girl wigs r my new fave until I get to apl so I can bun like u
 
I was looking at a bunch of fancy buns on YouTube yesterday that I saved awhile back and will be doing buns for the rest of the summer unless it's a special occasion. I can't do the regular wrap around buns cause it causes my ends to break but I wish I could cause they're done in 2 minutes instead of 10.

Do tell...:grin: (what did you do to accomplish this)

@Arian: By absolute fluke. I didn't think this would be the outcome when I combined them.

On Sunday, I used CJ Curl Rehab as a leave-in, sealed with a little oil. After air drying all day, I used a bit of Aubrey Organics Aloe Vera (it is liquid so I think it is the juice, but it doesn't say juice on the bottle and doesn't smell like the AVJ in the grocery store), focusing on my ends, to detangle and sealed/twisted it up with QB AHTB.

I did not do anything else to it and my hair still felt like butter this morning. I worked out this morning so I co-washed, but I could have gone a few more days with how great my hair felt.
 
Omgosh this chick on a hair group on FB that I'm in just posted this huge nasty ball of her shed hair. That crap is so disgusting. Why the f do people do that? I don't want to see that crap. It gives me the creeps and I always block chicks that do that. Sorry I'm petty, something about it just bugs me. I'm so silly.
 
Tried out my Ouidad starter kit:-

Climate control gel - great for twist outs but love my shea butter more. Maybe I should try the two together?
Balance conditioner - OK, I guess.
Moisture boosting spray - jury still out on that. A few more tries before I decide.
Deep Treatment Conditioner - Nice! :yep:
Clear and gentle shampoo - sulphate? :roadrunner:
Wide-tooth comb - surprisingly great detangler.
 
Ogoma, durn.... I can't use AVJ. Makes my hair hard as a brick!

But I'm glad you got droolworthy hair out of the deal. I wish I could consistently have that outcome, but the only time I remember having those types of results was when I got my hair steamed and used water/glycerin to moisturize (seal with Qhemet AOHC). Now water/glycerin don't work anymore. And QAOHC is iffy nowadays. :sad:

I have tried DCing/steaming with regular AVJ and got hard, straw-like hair. I was actually surprised I got such great results from using it to seal my hair/ends. I was in WF to get witch hazel and it was on the shelf next to it. I think someone had mentioned it here so I was curious if it would work for me. If everyone is raving about something, I keep trying it to see if it would work. I will test it again this weekend.

I think I have given up on QB AOHC though. This is my third fail trying to use it as a leave-in and/or daily moisturizer.
 
It thin everything in me not to bust a U-turn and go in my favorite BSS that has all the Dominican conditioners! I promised not to buy any more products unless I have run out of that product until I use up everything in my stash.

:cry: All kinds of LHCF rules broken today.

Dry hair combed.
Dry hair combed with a rat tail comb.
Rub a towel up and down my wet hair.

I have some DC that I NEVER heard of in my strands. I don't even want to think about how many broken strands I have, despite the fact that I came to get a trim. I could just die.

I pray that my hair will survive the torture it just received. :cry2:

I'm tired of this weave and it's barely been a month. I big chopped and weaved it right back up. Also really worried about heat damage.... I want to take it out and see if I've really messed up my hair!

Last night after washing and conditioning, I did a final rinse with ACV, rosemary oil and water. That was the best thing I've done to my hair in weeks.
