So I think I like the AVJ rinse. It has the same effect as the roux; smoothing detangling. plus it makes my scalp feel nice..a gentle cooling, soothing feeling. I also like it because I don't have to rinse it out ( I generously spritz my hair with AVJ after washing anyway) and it doesn't have a leave a residue. As much as I love Roux, it always left an ever so slight filmy feeling on my hair.

Hair feels pretty good, I will be trying this again next week :yep:

@Nix08 I tried this because of your rave reviews, thanks :)

halee_J that is so fantastic:yep:
 
I bought a trio refridgerator. It is 31 cubic feet. I could not sleep this night( it is 0730 right now. I was lying there thinking about all the space I will have for conditioner. I bought it for ice and water in the door but it is big because I may not be buying another one and I just got what I wanted. I am not thinking about friut, vegetables, healthy eating. Space for my conditioners so they won't spoil. I can't wait until they get here.I bought a gigantic fridge to protect my conditioners????
 
Thank god I forced myself to do my hair last night !!
This cold that I have is a ****** Smh

In other hair news I didn't end up with cottage cheese hair yay!
 
I don't post very much anymore on the hair side. *sigh* Still frustrated with my length, or lack thereof due to heat damage I sustained months ago. I thought if I backed of discussing my hair I would be less frustrated. It worked. :) I wore my first real wash n go yesterday! I said *** the twists and tension drying method. Lol. I loved it! My hair is almost APL, less than an inch away in the back layers. I am curious to see if I have increased ssk this morn-i tried to get the curling shuffle on the very ends of all my coils. Going to brunch and am going to try and refresh my wng.
 
Lawd im sooo lazy with my hair honestly if I HAD to restyle my hair everyday I would go back to getting relaxer ahem Lool

2nd half of the year is upon us. I've got some serious growing to do so that I can get rid of these relaxed ends. Lots of travel planned for July. I hope I don't get lazy. Puting myself on a personal 30-day challenge to make it thru the month.
 
It totally gets under my skin when ppl try to give me hair advice that is absolutely w-r-o-n-g! My sister's mom ( we have the same father only ) asked me to perm my sisters damaged sl hair then proceeded to say I may need to buy 2 perms cuz she hasn't had a relaxer in over six months and I would need to get ALL of the hair. I told her no she only needs a touchup even if it's been six months. She then raised her brow at me n said that she's been swimming n stuff so the previous perm/s are definitely gone. I said "u mean to tell me that u think it 'wore off' do u know what PERM even stands for?? Perrrrmanent, it DOES NOT wear off"... Tf?? Then she had an attitude with me n said never mind she'd do it herself.. I am beside myself, smh at the ignorance.
 
Yesterday was my one year natural anniversary! I didn't even remember until a few minutes ago. How time flies.
 
Mmm mm mm.
So I was preparing my DC today. Coconut milk and honey. My gawwsh it's so yummy. I couldn't stop tasting it.
I went to wash my hair and we all out of hot water so now I have to wait 30 mins for the water to get hot again. I had to put some hemp seed oil in the mix to keep me from eating it.
 
Got my roots blown out yesterday. Since I'm not doing any heavy exercising, my hair should last all week until I get it blown out again. I'm hoping to do this for the next 5 - 7 weeks until I get a touch up. I'll just make sure to wash n deep condition myself at home and let them give me a rollerset and blow out my roots.
 
I'm surprised so many new naturals are having such a hard time. When I first went natural I felt like taking care of my hair was much easier than having a relaxer. I still do. I know everyone's hair is different, I was just surprised to see so many posts about naturals struggling.

I feel the same way. Seems a lot of people have trouble when they want their natural hair to be straight like it was when it was relaxed or when they can't accept their texture.

I was so excited to cleanse with the Wen Mango Coconut for the first time tonight.... Except I couldn't get that dang pump to unlock. I swear I was spinning and spinning it forever (yes, in both directions) :spinning::drunk::spinning::drunk:.

I ended up just pouring it out. :look: Now I'm sitting with it in.

Though I'm not necessarily struggling, having a relaxer was much easier for me. I had an easy routine: Friday night jojoba oil scalp prepoo - Saturday a.m. wash & DC & rollerset. I would moisturize/seal my ends after removing the rollers & lightly oil as needed throughout the week.

My hair was healthy from root to tip & I only needed trims like twice a year. After I BCed this 2nd time, I was having lots of regrets. I tried to convince my old stylist to allow me to be his only relaxer client since he knows that I'll take care of my hair but he's not hearing it. He feels that technology has evolved enough that no women should be relaxing anymore. :perplexed

I'm hoping that I will become close with my natural hair like I was with my relaxed hair & soon be on autopilot.

That's true. Being natural is a lot harder than it has to be if you are fighting against what your hair naturally does. But everyone doesn't go natural to be natural. Some people just want to get away from chemicals.

If you're growing to longer lengths, having fine or thin hair could also be an issue. But I do think a lot of it is due to being uncomfortable with how your natural hair looks and trying to change it.

nakialovesshoes what kinds of issues do you have with your natural hair?

This is probably true. It's awesome that there's so many natural hair bloggers and vloggers now but the downside may be that seeing all of these women with perfect looking natural hair styles puts more pressure on newly natural heads to have an awesome look straight out the gate. When I was natural I had few ppl to compare my hair and was at peace with letting my hair do what it do even if it wasn't considered universally attractive. That mentality lasted for 7 years.. then I decided it was time to switch it up lol.
 
Must follow directions. I just read the bottle of my Keracare Dry and Itchy scalp conditioner it says to leave on for 15-20 minutes. I have been using it as a rinse out only for a few minutes type of conditioner. Will be a new bottle soon now with my new knowledge. Happy to be braided up and half wigging it out this week. Probable will rock it for the remaining of the summer.
