I am definitley going to have to re-visit my Ecostyler gel...For the most part, I have had a lot of praises about my BC..DH is a fan which is always good. I did have some people kind of look
erplexed when they saw me after I cut it bc it had gotten really long. Sometimes I'm patient and I feel like explaining why I cut my hair and sometimes I'm like "i Love it...you'll get used to it..." and keep it movin'
I have thick coarse 4a hair with some 3c sprinkled in, but my hair is THIRSTY, THIRSTY, THIRSTY!!! The Miss Jessie's Baby Buttercreme is OK, but I think you might something like AfroVeda's Shea Amla Butter Cream just as good if not better http://www.afroveda.com/AV-SHEAAMLA.html and it's a fraction of the cost...It's a REALLY good moisturizer. A friend of mine loaned me some a couple of days ago bc I have the curly custard http://www.afroveda.com/AV-CURLYCUSTARD.html and my hair LOVES IT!!!
Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding is OK, too, but I find that I need a TON of it to really shingle or get definition and when it dries it's kind stiff and it flakes a bit bc you have to use a little much...again...I REALLY think you would like something like Afroveda's curly custard (thicker, more moisturizing product) or their PUR whipped jelly (lighter product but has more hold). Again, they are a fraction of the cost of Miss Jessie's and they have no parabens, sulfates or formaldehyde. It' some really good stuff...
I concur on the cutting shears, you need a really good pair and PUH-LENTY of DC caps. A lot of ladies DC more than once a week.
Hi There Findingme,
Thank you for your reply. I actually didn't want to use the Miss jessie's for shingled hair, but more for twists, braid outs and twistouts. I plan on attemtping to shingle with ecostyler and KCCC whichever works best. I just love the moisturized hold that the Miss jessies gives. As for the AfroVeda curly custord and jelly...here is the website for that? I might have to check youtube for some product reviews and videos on ladies styling with these products. is the Afroveda Shea Alma Cream better than the Qhemet's Amla shea Cream? Are they the same? I am going to def. add castor oil to the list. It is fairly inexpensive so its worth a try. I am hearing that it thickens tresses too.
Hello Vonnie,
I have been relaxed since I was 10 or 11 (sad.. I know). I have always stretched my relaxers from 12-17 weeks at a time, so I am pretty familiar with my natural hair. In addition, I am almost one year post relaxer so I have quite a few inches of NG. I read a lot of reviews and watch tons of youtubes on products. i stalk people with hair like mine so that I can see how a product may work on me. My hair didn't used to be protein sensitive while relaxed until about 6 months into my transition. Now, if I put something as light as Nexxus keraphix on my hair is gets really hard and I have to DC AND cowash, so I hafta do a protein every month and its really small.
Thank you so much for your reply
Thank you for your reply.
(and they're all under $10 from F21)
As for the Profective, it's good for me now, but I just use it on my hair before braiding it up to put under my wig. I may need to change it in the fall/winter. We'll see. I just tried it out because they lady in Sally's said her daughter's hair is long (she described bra strappish-mid back length hair) and she cut a few inches off and her daughter used it for a month or so, and she pretty much grew her hair back. I don't know her or her daughter, but I decided what's the worst that could happen. Her daughter is also relaxed and keeps her hair in protective styles, so I'm sure that helped as well.
that looks like a couple of inches of growth in some places...WOW!!! 
I used what I had left and then topped it off with AO Honeysuckler Rose.
