Last day as a natural. At least for the next couple years. I have no doubt I will go back to natural. What can I say? I like change.

I haven't told anyone yet but my sister and (or course dh) she gave me the "noooo, whyyyyy". so, yeah everyone can just wait to see afterwards. I don't need everyone and they mama (and my mama, lol) trying to tell me not to do it.

One thing that did give me pause was my mom has been transitioning to natural. I think it's been something like 10 months so far. I don't want her to give up on it all b/c I made a change. She colors her hair and to honest I don't thing her hair likes the double-processing at all. She always had really nice hair but once she started coloring to cover the greys, it starting to take a toll.
 
Headed out to buy some ayuvedic supplies and maybe a Whole Foods trip. Me and shipping don't click. I'm waaay too impatient and always think of what I could've bought with the shipping cost.. Ah well. Another excuse to shop! :grin:
 
I've been to Sally's 3 times this month and left with nail polish not hair products, lol. Don't know why I feel like I have to buy something with this little 15% off coupon every month.
 
I want a cute ponytail to go out in tonight, not having edges sucks cause you can't do a ponytail without looking horrible

2 boxes of shikakai, 4 boxes of amla, 2 boxes of brahmi, 1 box of lemon peel powder, 1 package of kapur kachri powder and a bottle of jbco. Um... aside from the jbco, do I even know what to do with all this stuff? :perplexed I got caught up. :blush:

But, I got it all for under $30. I kept thinking that I got 4 free boxes of powders for the cost of shipping. But does 6% sales tax and my gas make it worthwhile? You betcha! I HATE waiting on products to arrive. I want them now! I just wish there was something on THIS side of the world. :ohwell: Ah well. It's Friday. I got a wallet full of funds and hubby is still outta town. Whatcha want me to do? :look:
 
My roots are dry. Kenra MC is just meh to me...probably won't re-purchase it. My thick, coarse hair needs something more moisturizing. I'm not sure what DC I'm going to try next. AO GPB is great as a protein, but I figure I need something that is strictly moisturizing. I guess it's off to the DC thread to see what else I can try. So far, I am thinking about revisiting Elasta QP Intense, Silk Elements Megasilk, and ORS Replenishing Con. My hair has really been depressing me lately.

I started :cry: the other day because I was so frustrated with it. Hope no one notices that I am bipolar when it comes to my hair. One day, I'm on here all happy and my hair feels soft :blah: :blah: ...

Then it's :wallbash: ...:sad:

One day, I'll get it consistently accurate...I know it takes naturals years to figure out what works for them. Perhaps I am in the same boat...just feeling my way through..
 
Can anybody recommend a good DC? Motions always worked great for me but I want/need a second option cause most of the time its gone, its very popular I guess idk :ohwell:
 
My hair has been So Happy lately. Mango Coco Wen, and Tresseme Naturals are like The Wonder Twins...pure Awesomeness when they come together! I tossed my curls yesterday, and I was Shocked at how soft and moist my hair was. Like really...I almost weave checked myself! :lachen:

I am so stank with my WnG's in the streets right now! :grin:

shopaholic sweety I know why....:look:.... :curtain: look at your name. Shop A Holic.

1-800-nosale.com LOL (jking)

Don't worry I am the same way. Shred it as soon as you get it and you won't feel as bad. :yep:
 
I had another hair dream last night. It was very similar to my first and only hair dream that I had when I was apl.

In the first dream, I was unbraiding my hair and stretched it past HL and it startled me.

With last night's dream, I was unbraiding my hair and stretched it past calf length. I needed someone to stretch it for me and take a pic. It stretched about two inches past floor length. When it was let go, it shrank back to HL. I was stunned and excited by the weight of it and went to call nakialovesshoes. Lol

Maybe these dreams are telling me to keep my hair braided for growth.
 
I can't tell if my hair is growing or not. I remember my braids having lots of random hairs like a Christmas tree last year. Those are gone. My braids are twice as thick. My hair hangs lower but is that due to henna or growth. I haven't straightened since December.
 
I had the worse detangling session ever yesterday. I have never had a session so bad. I bunned a few times this week for the first time. Would bunning cause more tangles? I don't get these tangles when I wear WnG.
 
*I love Millcreek conditioners the protein in them always hits the right spot:yep:

*Tea rinsing is the business:love:

* I often wonder if I'll be doing the same things to my hair 10 years from now....

I am determined to let the TWO I have expire this month. Maybe next month I'll need something.
 
I want to eventually get to Shorty2Sweet's (from Youtube) level. She stretches and relaxes when she feels like.it. Could be 2-4 times a year, could be not at all in a year. She runs her hair not the other way around.

Twisted my hair today for a twist out with Oyin Whipped Pudding, castor oil and Kiss my Face Upper Management Gel. This is my first twist out in more than a year. Hope it looks cute!

Arian sckri23 have you ladies ever tried Silicon Mix? I applied it root to tip and left on for almost 2 hrs yesterday and my hair was melting upon rinse out.

-PYT, yes, I have. It didn't work either. I'm sad about it too. I had one of my friends, who's also natural, feel my hair and she said it's soft to her. Maybe I'm overreacting, but I've felt my hair at it's ultimate leve of softness. And this ain't it. I wish I remember what I did to make that happen. I know glycerin was involved, but I can't get the ratio right! And I don't remem the DC I used either.

I need a new leave in I can get on ground but then I wonder if I should just stick to NTM as a leave in but it's mad expensive for such a tiny bottle. It barely lasted me a month and a half. I don't think Paul Mitchell leave in is any good for my hair. My hair felt so soft and smooth after taking down my cornrows for the week. Smooth ends and all. This can't be my hair it just can't be could maybe all this pampering pay off?
 
I use Dudleys PCA and it is a beautiful thing. Costly but you only need a dime to nickel size so the container last FOrever :)
 
@GoddessMaker I like Ion Miracle Leave-In Conditoner from Sally's, it's the one in the white and blue bottle. It's replaced Darcy's Transitioning Cream as my leave-in.
