New pics of HairCrush circulating has me :lovedrool:. O...M...G. This is my dream hair. I must...have...my...precious! The graphic with the pics is circulating on fb and I tagged her so, apparently she knows. But still, since they're not my pics, I won't directly post 'em here but, how about a link? The top 2 pics...:thud: The lower left pic is a bit intimidating but, still...:thud: (that is all)

Whoa! :thud: This is exactly what I want for my natural hair. A girl can dream!
 
Cocleansed today, I love it. I finally figured it out. You dont mix it in the bottle.

You wet your hair, rub baking soda on your scalp, wet it alittle, add the conditioner and scrub the slippery goodness all over your head. Follow up with a cowash.

Its like a miracle, a cheap miracle. Baking soda 2 for a dollar, and vo5 $1 or less depending where you go. Ima use this for the rest of my life. And if I get more Wen, thats gonna be my occasional treat.

Coconut oil is my all time favorite and most frequently used oil but I decided to experiment a bit. Been hearing about the benefits of Eucalyptus oil and ceramide oils like grape seed oil so I mixed them with some castor oil and applied to my scalp. I feel like my scalp is singing and exhaling. I feel as relaxed as if I had two hour long scalp and body massage. I'm definitely doing this again. :grin::grin:
 
I keep getting asked if I'm natural. And a lot of times by the same person. Is healthy relaxed hair still a myth to the masses? I was thinking about transitioning but if I can maintain & retain a healthy relaxed head, I don't know.

I asked one of my church members who works at Sally's about a keratin treatment, and she asked was I going natural. I told her I was thinking about it, really I was thinking about texlaxing. But I didnt only naturals get keratin treatments???? Lol
 
I am a natural 4b,working out 4- 5 days per week with my hair stretched while wearing a low manipulation style throughout the week. My roots have been getting a bit stiff and shrunken by the end of the week, so I needed to change my pre-poo method so that I could soften my hair and ease the detangle process. Last night I sprayed straight AVJ from the fridge on a section of hair starting at my roots and scalp, then I sprayed it on my ends. I followed the spray with a light coating of EVCO and then twisted the section. This softened my hair immediately, no knots or snags, my fingers were able to glide through my hair and remove tangles and shed hairs. Simple, inexpensive, quick and effective!!

LOL! You know if you even look at relaxed hair too hard it will fall out.

I have the same issue w/ this one chic at work. She always say, your hair is long because you're natual right?! Uhm NO for the umpteenth time; I'm relaxed woman! LOL
 
Loving my hair. Did a retouch and it's finally looking like a real bob lol. After all them damn haircuts this year. This is all the more motivation to not cut it. I'm not even shaping up the nape b/c it got messed up over all those cuts anyway. Just gonna let it ggrow out. And it's looking nice and healthy. I just have to make sure I keep up w/ my retouches. Most if not all of my past breakage problems have been at the demarcation line. I know that now. Next weekend I'll do a protein DC w/ Motions CPR.
 
I'm still really upset about my hair. It's so underprocessed its like I didn't even get a relaxer. I'm getting this mess braided up as soon as I can.
 
Deep conditioned for a bit. After I rinsed I applied some Paul Mitchell "The Conditioner" to my hair and sealed with safflower oil. My hair feels great!!

been using a spray bottle for my oil.

i had intended to get the spray bottle with the spray option, but the one i got only had the "stream" option, but that's okay. i dont spray it onto my hair, but into my hand and it helps me use so much less oil because so little comes out with each squirt. i think this will help me not overdo it on the oil lol. i could never pour out just a little when taking it straight from the oil bottle.

youwillrise hmm are you sure that you can't adjust the nozzle? when I got my spray bottle it only came out in a stream as well. I was playing around with it one day and started to unscrew the nozzle a bit. At first I thought I was about to unscrew it completely but when I squeezed the handle it came out in a "spray" :3
 
Tonight I will be greasing my scalp. Friday will make week 2 of my install and I was thinking around thanksgiving time I will go to the shop and get a wash & curls for the holidays.
 
Boo. Went to the Indian store to reup on henna after a successful treatment this weekend. Now they're selling the fake jamila with a hair color chart :( Luckily I caught it before I dumped it on my hair.
 
Urgh these fools sent me the 750 tresemme naturals bottle not the 900ml !!

Need to send this back now kmt I ordered 6 of them so I wouldn't have to carry the weight

Now I have to carry them to the post office anyway :-/

It amazing me how the weeks fly by now for my relaxer touch ups. I remember the days of relaxing my hair every 4 weeks then coming to LHCF and struggling to stretch to 8 weeks. Now 8 weeks fly by and 12 weeks fly by before I even think of a touch up.

That is a good feeling, now if I could only find a relaxer that I am happy with, then I am in business.
 
I liked that garlic ginger scalp treatment. It was a bit random, originally I was just gonna blend up some garlic, then decided to throw the ginger in there on a whim. Glad I did, made it really tingly and cut the garlic smell. I'm gonna do it again next wash.

It's called Jamila too but instead of saying superior and premiere henna, like the non BAQ version of Jamila should, it says Jamila hair color.

I just went ahead and got the BAQ version from Amazon instead. Hope that works out :)
 
I'm tired of my hair being wet at the ponytail holder area all day.

I'm sick of my bun.

I'm too scared to put heat on my hair.

Transitioning from texlaxed to natural is teaching me a lot. Transitioning officially for one year now and loving it.
