I'm exhausted. I was up all night doing 3 heads of hair. Neglected mine of course. Dropped the girls off at school and they were very happy.

Wow... This morning i was wondering how moms deal when they have more than one girl. I was stressed out this morning trying to do a straight part and two ponytails. :lol: Supermom! Insert bow down smiley here.
 
Put my wet hair back in a ponytail, hoping to stretch it for a wash and go. My hair was all kinds of stringy when I took it down from the ponytail. It went back into the ponytail. Hopefully, I'll get nice, big hair tomorrow from it.
 
This new way I've been doing my wash n goshas been amazing for my hair. Plus it only now takes 30 minutes or so once I get out of the shower and it lasts for three days

What's a straight part? We haven't seen those in years :lol:
 
MY BANANA CLIP I HAD SINCE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL BROKE TODAY :sad:

This hair is a beast, it has broken combs, now it's breaking barrettes I had since childhood. The funny thing is I was hot and sweaty trying to put the banana clip in my hair, I even left some hair in the front out trying to get it in and once I go it in it say "Haha, not today!" It popped right on the floor and my hair was still standing.
 
Thinking, MN is supposed to work because its antifungal right? Well EVOCO is also antifugal, antiviral and antibacterial so wouldn't that work better if not the same?
 
Maybe my hair doesn't like being worn "out"? I have it all pinned back today and it feels and looks more moisturized.

I don't know how to use this pomade I bought. I watched a girl use it for her twist outs, but I seriously don't think I used it right.

I've got to learn how to flat twist.
 
So this morning before work, I decided to wash my hair while still in yarn twists. I took one cup of ACV and a gallon of water in a pitcher and rinsed my hair while massaging my scalp. I rinsed with warm water and followed up with my regular conditioner which I left in while I took my shower. Rinsed out the conditioner, dried some with 100% cotton t-shirt and put on my leave-in. I used emu oil on my alopecia/bald spot/crown and WGHO with some essentials and sublimed sulfur to seal. I pulled the twists into a bun and wrapped one of "hair drying" scarfs around to go to work.

Why didn't I think how heavy wet yarn twists would be? You know when you handwash a sweater and you can't imagine how much it weighs? So yes, it feels like a big, wet winter sweater on top of my head.

But on the good side...I finally washed my hair and see the yarn twists can handle it with no problem. I just had two to slip out. I don't have the smell of ACV, just my conditioner. I know I can do this and go to work, but just be prepared for my neck to be tired at the end of the day.

So it has been a good hair day.
 
I bought emu oil to use on my crown because of the anti-inflammatory properties and my crown is always itchy a few days after a wash. Now I'm wondering two things - should I add sublimed sulfur to the emu oil or should I have just bought JBCO which is sooooo much cheaper? I had also been using a creme from the Influance line every other day on my crown, but wasn't sure if it was helping.

I just need to be consistent. I think I'm going to have to have a set wash day with set days to moisturize and seal. I may need to buy a dryer again to start protein and deep conditioning on these wash days.

@BostonMaria You go girl! They are cute and the hair is too. How long does it last?

If they don't jump around and act all crazy LOL It should last 4 days. I am not that optimistic :nono: LOL Since I didn't have to pay $40 at the salon to get their hair done I don't care. They can go back to curly on Monday.

My mom used to do my hair at like 6:00am while I was half asleep. Later on she relaxed my hair (I was 10) because she had 1 sick toddler and a newborn. My DD's still don't really know how to do their hair so its a chore every day. At some point I have to put my foot down and make them learn how to do their own hair.

Giiiirrrll :giggle:

It's not new, I'm sure, just new for me:

I have low porosity 4a cottony coily hair. When doing wash n gos in the past I would apply everything to soaking wet hair and wonder for years why my hair would not stay moisturized. the water my hair absorbed would not allow my hair to take in anything else and once my hair dried with no conditioning agents in it, it was consistently dry.

Well after finally caring enough to look into it I realized that when cowashing and applying product my hair needed to be squeezed out of all water before applying my conditioner when cowashing. Once I do that I again squeeze out all the water then apply a little more conditioner or leave in section by section running it throw and detangling with my fingers. At this point my hair is very moisturized. After each section before I move on to the next I grab some Eco gel and run it down and through each section sliding my hands together down from top to tip of the section without disturbing the coils. Takes me all of about thirty minutes once I get out the shower. Lasts for three days and hair no longer feels as dry as the desert by day two
Each morning I mist lightly but on day two I also grab a little oil and scrunch out the crunch.

Yep.

Yes, I did mix henna powder at my desk while boss was in a meeting...:look:

Want it cured by bed time so I can wear it overnight!
 
I REACHED WAIST LENGTH! x)

haven't washed my silk scarf in awhile, i think its contributing to the acne on my T-Zone...really disappointed in myself for being so unsanitary. i mean that water was brown when i finally washed it :\

i'm kind of irked that almost every post about ceramides mentioned safflower oil as containing the highest percentage...now that i own it, all the posts want to say that safflower oil is "mistaken" to have ceramides. thinking about purchasing sunflower oil but ehhh....i'll be happy with what i have for now. besides, i think i actually like it. too soon to tell though

sometimes i am just astounded by how a tiny little dusting can transform the feel & managability of my hair. i will be dusting 1/8 every month for now.

Now why would you want to do a thing like that?? :lol:

*Does the coffee junkie shuffle* :drunk:
 
I am attempting to "make" coffee oil. I have had ground coffee beans sitting in a mix of black cumin seed and meadowfoam seed oils for over two weeks. I am at a loss of how to extract the oil. Cheesecloth? Or a regular sieve?
