I might have to go back to using heat weekly, though I really don't want to:sad:. But my hair grew best this way honestly. My rollersets are too hit or miss for me, even if I use the same products from the previous set. I don't think it would be so bad to go back to weekly heat, I mean 90% of my products are protein.

I'm wondering if I'll be making this same statement shortly. I think as long as I'm not as worried about style I can work it. It's a very boring headband - sometimes frizzy - look. Trying to decide if I'll join that no-heat challenge too.

why is it that when I flat iron my hair, it is laid and nice on the first day, by the next morning, my roots are kicking afrolistics? :nono: why do i bother? I flat ironed on 375

I just learned the hard way that it's really best to stay within one product line.....well for me anyway.
I just washed my hair with paul mitchell shampoo, conditioned with keracare, joico k pak leave in, and chi serum, my hair is a HAM right now. *Sigh* guess I'll rewash tomorrow.

Which line do you typically stick with? Any of those as long as it's the whole line?

I am cutting my hair drastically low later on today. Like a fade.
I am pretty sure.
Absolutely everyone I know is against it, but they all know how hard-headed I get about certain decisions...once my mind is made up, it's a wrap. It is really amusing me though how pressed people are over MY hair-they acting like I'm cutting off a leg or a foot. :lol:

You know, if I was to ever cut my hair really short again (it's waistlength now), I think I'd go and flat iron the heck out of it beforehand :look:
 
- Mum said my hair looks lovely and that it's getting longer. I'm well on my way BACK to WL. I'm so happy LOL. <3

- Organix seems to be able to handle my stretched hair very well so it's a definite keeper. Right now I've been mixing it with some Roux PC and I'm liking my results.

- I saw these HUGE bottles of HE conditioners at Loblaws Superstore for $10. I was so tempted to buy but then I remembered my hair didn't LOVE them and I wouldn't know which one to get anyway so I left them be. I'll be going back for them though... when I've finished a few products. I can jazz it up with some Roux PC.

- Re-purchased my multivitamin.

- Feeling really good about my hair growth and hair health. :grin:
 
Corn oil is surprisingly really moisturizing! I didn't have any oils to seal with (except castor oil, but my hair hates it as a sealant :ohwell:), so I used some pure corn oil that my family uses to cook with. I wasn't expecting it to be anything but a greasy mess, but surprisingly, it makes my hair really soft & detangles beautifully! My only critiques are that it doesn't impart shine into my hair and, although it does retain moisture, it doesn't necessarily reduce frizz. This could be a really great oil for someone who wants more softness and less tangles but doesn't have the money to buy anything too pricey.
 
Gave my hair a good shampoo wash and detangeling after sleep on a twistout for two straight nights. Took forever to finish but my hair is now in twists and moisturized. My ends feel pretty knotted though so its time for a few search and destroy sessions. Regular trims seem to keep missing the knots.

I need to make a haircare travel kit. It sucks not having anything when I'm away from home and need to do something with my hair. Which reminds me that a good moisturizing spritiz would be a nice addition to my stash.

I made APL for real this go around. Since I won't be cutting into the length maybe it can start growing toward BSL.

I really want to try the Bee Mine product line but boy is it pricey.

I can't decide which line I want to stick with:lol:
Joico K pak(the other joico lines are hard to find locally)
Kenra
Keracare

The only products I like from Kenra is the leave in and serum.

The only products I like fron Keracare is the shampoo and conditioner(but they leave my hair too soft, mushy and moisturized.....Lol I know I sound crazy now).

The only K pak products I really use is the shampoo and liquid reconstructor leave in.(the leave in reconstructor works best with direct heat, it was terrible on my rollerset)

I call myself wanting to start a "Use one product line" challenge, but I can't even decide myself:spinning:

The macadamia oil conditioner by Organix is also very good but the awapuhi is more moisturizing. I don't know how well the shampoo works, I don't mess around too much with shampoo because I've already found my staple that I probably will never give up but those two conditioners hands down are my new staples. :yep: Sigh, they're just too good LOL, .

Aireen what's your staple shampoo?
 
THIS is why I generally do what I want with mySELF. We actually had a family meeting about my hair:look: THEY decided that I could cut but not down to a TWA like I wanted. So I put my hair in mini twists and hacked a good 2-3 inches off of each twist.

I promised all concerned that if I still craved a TWA this time next year, i'm gonna just DO IT and they will have to deal. :yep:

:lol: I know what you mean by the too mushy effect.

And hmm....try Keracare and Kenra and see what's up (poo and con...then leave in and serum). Like maybe just two will mix.
 
I got my BKT done a month ago and I think it is already starting to fade away :sad:. I plan on doing it again in february or so and hopefully it'll last longer. :wallbash:
 
^^^reminds me of how I whip my hair after a fresh flatiron, my mom told me I'm gonna break my neck, LOL.

Now that I've got my hair reg down I'm not gonna renew my sub next year. I think I've gotten all there is for me to get from lhcf. I will continue to hang out in the health and christian forums though.
