Question for your ladies:

I am looking for the best "curl popping" condish (to use as a deep treat too). It has to be drugstore, cuz Im on a budget. I was thinking of :

HH, Hydralicious, the moisturizing one.
HH Totally twisted.
Pantene Curls condish

What do you guys suggest?

TIA

 

[bablou00]

^^^If only between those three I would say the Totally Twisted. I have a bottle and although it doesnt provide the slip that Hello Hydration does but it works just as well. I dont know about using it to make curls pop because Ive only used it while I was twisted but it did make my hair soft.

I am offically out of my twist that lasted 4wks and some days. It took me a little longer then usual to detangle but no locking up and not a lot of knots. I actually took my hair down w/o water or oil. It was really soft I think from my previous wash. I sectioned my hair off into 4 puffs and used Reconditioning conditioner to detangle. I realized I have a good thing going w/ my Hello Hydration when it comes to detangling so I will be sticking with that for now on. Then I did some chunkier twist (4hrs) since I plan on taking them down for a wedding on Saturday. My hair has grown a little and its getting really thick. Im a little nervous as this is the first time I will wear my hair out in style w/o twist. Im excited I just hope I dont look too crazy since I havent experimented w styles since Ive chopped. Here are some recent pics of my hair after I took my twist out, after detangling and in puffs, and my chunky twist.

I'm still looking myself. I am limited bc I am on a no-cone regimen now, so I hope someone responds so I can see what everyone else is using...

Girl, I just LOVE your hair SOOOOOOOO much! OMG, Look at how long it's getting! You are on the grow, girl!

 

[bablou00]

Do you use the HH regularly?

Thanks!! I use it mostly when Im washing out henna and when I am detangling my hair after being in twist. I dont use it when I cowash as much because of the cones. I use devacare or oyin on cowashes.

Your hair is always just gorgeous! Love that twist out and those twists!

Thanks sister! I think my twist out would look better if the twist werent in so long and not washed as much but I didnt plan on wearing it in a style. The chunkier twist are a first for me and I kind of like them...plus it took less time to put do them....lol!!

Haha...yah I didnt expect much of a change in growth but now I can really see it!!! Thanks

Hello ladies!
Can I have a seat at the group?
I am officially natural now
Not wearing my fro but def. taking notes now
It's in braids right now.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I'm Backkkkkkk!!!!!

Hey Ladies,

I've been a lil MIA had to work these last 2 wks and it has been busy. I thank the Lord for that.

I just got my pics back from the photo shoot and they look great!! I wore my hair in a WNG using KBB Hair Nectar and a lil KCCC. You couldn't really tell one side was shorter than the other but I was pulling that side and scrunching the other to make it look even.
The rest of the time my hair has been in twists. I made some hair butter concoctions based on different hair butter recipes and products. I have 3 in total. I have to redo the one because it got grainy some kind of way so I'll try whipping it up and adding a lil hot oil. I've been trying to do dry twists just to show the length and the twists better. And the twist out looks awesome when they aren't all twisted coils.

I started wearing my silk scarves over my coats since I don't want my hair to break off from rubbing. My only other problem has been single strand knots. I've seen more and more which is crazy but I've been doing search and destroys in an effort to save my length. I've also been doing Henna and light protein condish to help up my moisture levels and it has been working wonders esp combined with the butters to seal.

Pics coming soon. Happy Hair Growing!!

[Addy3010]

Addy - this look is SOOO you . You look absolutely FABULOUS!

Thanks So much. I love your hair too! It is so shiny i love how thick it is.


This week i have been struggling with wanted to wear an afro, but my hair is about 55 different textures. ( Well maybe three...atleast.) So if i try the dry look i have straighter pieces looking like :burning: Lol..All i can do is use KCCC for curl definition, but i i rub it after it dries to get the effect i like.... Oh what to do.... I can decide to do, and neither can my hair . Does anyone have a suggestion for a good daily moisturize, i like creamy kind. When i was relaxed i love the ors olive oil mosturizer, but now im trying to stay cone-free...so i dont know...im tempted to try cones again....anyone know of a good cone free-creamy moisturizer?


Ok Im done

Addy I have the same problem. Some of my hair is straight, while other parts are so curly! I can't do much with it because of that fact alone. I'm still looking for a great no cone moisturizer, but I've yet to find one.

Spongie, wow you have a lot of growth! It's coming along nicely!

Afroveda has a lot of good rich butters. www.afroveda.com A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY WITH HER STUFF, THOUGH! I like her Curly Custard bc it's really rich and creamy and it keeps my hair moisturized for days at a time

Spongie, wow you have a lot of growth! It's coming along nicely!


Here is my hair today (twistout)...

LOVE IT!

 

[FindingMe]

I scheduled a color consultation with Aveda for Friday. I really just want to cover my grays, but we'll see what she has to say...I'll let ya'll know when I get back from the appt.

I am wearing my hair in twists and full out fro's right now...nothing new...I am gaining a little length, but not that much. Surprisingly, I haven't had the urge to trim or snip.

Ladies, How are we doing on our no-snip challenge?!

I thought I loved your Kinky twists until I saw this pic in your FOTKI...http://public.fotki.com/Soliel185/transition-ended-/twist-challenge-09/kinky-twists-004-jpg.html
I LOVE LOVE LOVE them like this, with the more natural ends...OMG- You are seriously making me want to get some....

 

[Spongie Bloom]

I like the ends too, but when it was all done they were too bulky to stay that way. The twists were all sleek and then the ends looked like a broom exploded or something, LOL!

I used 5 paks of hair. They're heavy, but not terrible. I'm just not too eager to try to wash them. I have some gel shampoo made for locks that I will most likely make use of.

I think I'm addicted to changing my look but the catalyst this time was my violet toned bleach. It turned my mohawk purple lol. I had to cut it.

Newbie checking in!!

I BC'd on November 1st, 2009 after transtioning for about 3 months. As for hair type I'm not quite sure yet [4a maybe??, maybe I have scab hair idk]. Products that I'm using are Garnier Fructis shampoo, VO5 conditioner for a co-wash, and Herbal Essences None of Your Frizziness for a leave-in. I also picked up some Kinky Kurly Knot Today and Curling Custard [which i have not mastered yet]. I need help defining my curls [if possible on a TWA] if anybody has advice for me please let me know.

 

[10WordzOrLess]

I have not tried kinky curly yet ( RECESSSSSSIOOOOON!erplexed) but I have been playing around with ecostyler gel. It's $1.49 where I'm at, and I've heard them compared before:

( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-SIrvkHt )

Good luck on mastering the KCCC, I hope you post pics when you're successful.

CONGRATS!!!! You look great!

 

[Chameleonchick]

Wow Creole, this style is HAWT!
