Somehow I managed to go from APL to BSL in a few months using heat weekly. I would blow dry and flat iron with my Sedu or Chi once a week. I could not understand why my hair would look so good on Day 1 and a hot mess for the remainder of the week! My hair would be so dry and tangled that even finger combing was a task. I used to hate rollrsetting cuz I did it all wrong! I was applying product on EACH section before rolling and using too small rollers (purple). BIG MISTAKE! This made my hair dry in 2.5 hours and I would get so irritated from having wrinkly fingers! Anyways, My hair has been breaking so badly lately and I had to come to terms that it was from the heat (I am relaxed and permanent colored). So what I did this time was wash and condition with Joico MR line (used K pak a week prior). Then I detangled with the Joico detangling leave in, sprayed my hair with a little elasta foam wrap and applied a quarter sized amoint of Jocio Daily moisturizer. I THEN rolled my hair UP mohawk style using gray rollers. My hair dried in half the usual time under the PIBBS! Less is def more with the product ladies! I then blew out my roots with my round boar bristle brush. It is now day 5 and my hair has never been so HYDRATED! I have body and it is not tangled at all! The breakage has STOPPED:thewave:! I have been moisturizing and sealing with Joico daily moistuirzer and EVCO. Now I know rollersetting isnt that bad once you have it down!I just had to share!


**Please excuse the typos I am at work (at a busy hotel lol)

Glad that Joico is working for you
 
Thanks ladies! I was acting like a feign! I was not gona be able to sleep until I solved this problem! I must add that the Jocio MR line is great and has helped a lot with the breakage! I now use this line exclusively!
 
Good for you for solving the breakage problem. That Joico is calling my name even more now :lachen:!!

Congrats shtow!!
 
Congrats on your new found hair success.

I stopped using heat months ago, and I am still having breakage. I wonder if I should try the Joico reconstructor. But I don't need any more protein.

Any suggestions ladies?
 
Thats great! I might have to give this Joice line a try. I've heard nothing but good things about it.:yep:

The directions on the joico daily moisturizer says to rinse out after 5 minutes. Do you rinse it out or just leave it in?

Hey my name is Shannon too! lol No I dont rinse. I use it as needed. Somtimes every day but I can afford to use it every other day since its so moisturizing. I seal with EVCO.
 
Shannon cute name! That's my middle name. thank you so much for the quick reply I have been going back and fourth on trying the Joico line but I think you have just convinced me. I'm a newbie on lhcf so I'm still lurking and learning.

Shtow, is the slip really good with the MR line? Does it make your hair really soft?
Click to expand...

Yes there is a good amount of slip, but is not a "cone-y" slip, but a healthy slip (if that makes since). Its not sooo much slip that its from 50-11 cones and its greasy; its just right.
And yes shunta, my huuur is butta soft, I promise u have to try this line. You know u want to!:yep:

You think so? Thats good cuz I love my hair in that pic, almost makes me wana go natural. I used very little product for rollersetting. I used enough to wet my hair with the leave in and the moisturizer I only used a quoter sized amount. The foam wrap I'd say a total of 8 sprays.
