^^can't wait to see the pics ladies! and happy mommy's day to all of the mommies and fur baby mommies!

i am going to treat myself to some products today. i am going to revisit Nexxus and get some conditioner since i am running low, and i found where the carry Emergencee in my area. a lot of the Walgreens were out of stock, but the one 2 mins away has some.

i wish it was wash day so i can try them out, but i will wait for Tuesday. i am going to wash my DD's hair a little later. oh i am going to get some JBCO i am going to get the scented one. do i need to mix it with anything to make it more lighter? i plan on using it on my edges and scalp when doing an or using it on my new growth.

I put mine jbco in the roots only bottle. I don't even have to take my bun down to apply it.

So I made a couple of tweaks to wash day.

First I put my AOHSR in a jar. That made applying it for my dry DC much easier.

Second I tried AOGPB. I'm not sure if I like it or the smell, but I'll keep it in my rotation along with Kenra and Aphogee 2 minute. If I grow to like it maybe it can become my only conditioner.

I had a fun and busy weekend so I wore my hair out for the first time in months. It was out for two whole days. This was a twist out puff. I'm pleased with my progress. Mt hair was soft and fluffy. Love Hairveda Almond Glaze.

Will try my Naturelle Grow stuff today and put my hair back up into pinned up twists. Sorry for the sideways pics. Forgot to turn my phone.

ok ladies, maybe i was being cheap today, or that i spent too much money in Walgreens. btw, they did not have my stuff in stock! so i went to a bss that carries some of everything. well they wanted $10 for the JBCO, $22 for the Nexxus Humectress, and $16 for the Emergencee. i just didn't want to spend that much. oh, but i did buy some garlic pills. i wanna buy this cute top for my weight loss goal outfit. i got too much to do with my coins than spend it on some dang conditioner and oil. i am usually not cheap and money is no object when it comes to my hair. i just didn't play on spending money on pizza and crap, plus hair products.

ok rant over.

 

[Evolving78]

ok i might just get the treatment tomorrow and the conditioner. i will get the JBCO another day. i really want to see how this treatment will work. folks say it's better than Aphogee.

 

[SincerelyBeautiful]

Treated my hair to a nice wash and dc. After rinsing out the conditioner I towel dried my hair and applied my leave in. Sealed and wore a wash and go. Very simple but very relaxing on this Mother's Day!!

IM in the middle of reading the Science of Black Hair. So IM probably going to be tweaking my reggie to incorporate all the things that IM learning.

Totally worth the money! I downloaded the Kindle version about a year ago and read it cover to cover. It's my hair bible!

It's wash day and I can't wait!!! IDK why I'm so excited to wash my hair this week, but I will be flat ironing it tomorrow. I know it won't look fantastic, but who cares. It's just gonna end up braided right back up anyway

I took that sew-in out and on Saturday I prepoo'd with Amla and Brahmi oil.

Last week my brother came to visit from Canada and gave me some of his hair products. He has been talking about how people he had sample his products have been raving about it. I was a little skeptical about it working for my hair. I tried it this weekend and let me tell you I think HE HAS A WINNER! He just made the organic shampoo and condish for right now. To name a few ingredients it has horsetail, nettle, calendula, hemp seed oil, sage, and korean ginseng. I want to try it a few more times before I have a true verdict but I think my brother has a winner!! Next time I wash I want to DC with it to see how that works.

I DC'd after with MD Honey Peach Syrup DC and Vatika Frosting on top. Then I used BASK hair milk and twisted to air dry about 85% then I added bask Tapioca hair creme and a little of the java bean & honey hair balm on top, retwisted and did bantu knots. My hair came out so soft and smells wonderful.

NikkiQ I liked the dc. It made my hair really soft. It wasn't anything different from SD vanilla silk or Sitrinillah, but it did have great slip. I loved the moisturizer though. It smells nice and just glided onto my hair. I almost didn't want to seal it with a grease.

I did a braidout on blown(sp) dried hair. Prior 2 braiding I used eco styler gel. I think I caused more harm but it sho' looked nice I will probably cowash either 2morrow or wed. I used the tension method & an attachment on sum parts. My hair was sooo matted & clump 2gether in the middle of my hair. Def gonna have 2 reevaluate my styling reggie.

I took pics (I know how we do around here). My hair started 2 frizz by the end of the day.

Froreal3 I'm not sure about the DC. It didn't do anything special to my hair that I can't get from cholesterol by itself. Now I do have the moisturizer and really liked how soft and moisturized it left my hair this weekend even after being at the beach all day yesterday.

While playing with my braids, I realized that I left a piece of hair out. Hate when that happens! Well I was bored so I flat ironed it. I'm doing the rest tomorrow. I was excited so I sent the pic to my friends I love that they understand my hair obsession and cheer me on. They all think its so long. Wait til they see me at the end of the year. Boom!

I just bought almond glaze, the smell is unreal

 

[Evolving78]

i got three major knots in my hair and i don't know how i am going to get them out. i have been working on them since yesterday. i tried to give MN a try and it created these horrible knots. i pray i get them out. they are not in spots i can hide. if i cut them out, they will leave me two visible 2 inch spots. i will have to cut all of my hair off.

let this be a lesson to everyone to just stick with what works.

What about water and vo5 in a spray bottle?? Or do you have any glycerin?

 

[Evolving78]

i have tried three detangling sprays, oils, serum, and tresemme conditioner. i started using a hair pin. it's so hard, it feels like dried gum in my hair.

 

[Evolving78]

and the conditioner is making my hair wet, so trying to untangle this knot is causing breakage. i am trying to be as gentle as possible.

Not that it is "gum" but - if it's similar - used to use ice to freeze it and then an oil to slide the frozen pieces out of the hair. May sound crazy and I'm reaching but I can understand your frustration!

 

[Evolving78]

thanks ladies. those knots are still in there and now i gotta go up to my son's school. i was told not to cut it. if i do cut it, ya'll won't see me for a lonnngggg time. there is one knot that i know i can get out and it is at the top close to the crown. the other one is up under it that is as tangled and hard as bricks. that is the one that i don't think i can undo it. please pray for me!
