I'm experiencing some shedding 1 week post aphogee 2 step. My hair feels strong, its just come out everywhere. The white bulb it still attached. Anyone have any tips or suggestions?

Charlie555 if you're seeing white bulbs then its definitely shedding. Garlic is good for shedding. The Alter Ego Garlic conditioner is popular but making your own treatment works and its pretty simple. There are lots of recipes, thought I'd share mine:


- Blend 4 large cloves of garlic with small amt of water (just enough to make a runny paste)

-Let it sit for about 10 min, then strain.

-Put the garlic "juice" in an applicator bottle (I add a generous amt of peppermint EO to help with the smell) and apply to the scalp, massage it in.

-Cover with a plastic cap for an hour (sometimes I go overnight), wash and DC as usual.
 
So...I dreamt of rollers last night, the big purple magnetic ones lol. I was so excited to find them in some random store. I ran home and did rollerset using tresseme conditioner. Hmm, ran outta there kinda fast hope I paid for them :lol:
 
Whoop Whoop! got second day hair from my braidout. Seeing as how I barely was able to get 2nd day hair on braidous when natural, I really was expecting to have to throw it up in a bun today, but nope, it still looks really good. Tomorrow will be bun day, I'm sure. 3 day hair just would be asking for too much, right...
 
I may give up on this all natural product thing. I think my hair was better off with a few cones etc.. As long as I stay away from Sulfates I should be straight!!!
 
Fedex delivered my Curl Junkie products after I left for work. My husband told me he didn't feel like going back in the house so he took the package with him to work. So you know I will be at his job as soon as I leave work to get my new toys!
 
At over 2 years post relaxer, my hair isn't quite where I hoped it would be length wise. I'm convinced I'm a slow grower now :nono:

Two random thoughts.

I have two whole bottles of sweet almond WEN and I wanted to trade them in for two other scents. So I called but the lady said I can keep the two bottles and get two samples as well. She'll just delay my next shipment until October so I can use it all. So I got lavender and the new mango coconut. I asked for the gardenia and she added that too. So i should be getting that next week. :drunk:

I want to cut my hair from BSL to APL or shorter. My hair is very fine and my ends look see-through. I've been using mild relaxers for about a year so I've got a few inches of thicker, fuller hair, and I want to "transition". It's not fully texlaxed... just not not bone-straight. I'm just happy SO is supportive because he loves my hair long.

I got my three "samples" in the mail. OMG, these are almost the size of the regular bottles! All three free! The mango coconut smells so good! Like air freshener. OMG, can't wait til wash day Saturday. :lick::lick:

Thank you so much! I will try this on my next wash day. I am also starting my garlic pills today.

How did u get free samples you just called and asked for them?
 
I'll be rewarding myself for my good grades...and stress. I haven't recieved anything less than a 90 (and I'm salty about that 90) in my summer psych class, and now I'm working on essay #9 of 10 for my final exam. I think I'll get some Qhemet from Sage and hopefully BASK restocks that nectarine vanilla hair milk for their sale. :lick:
 
After achieving my hair goal of waist length I'm bored with it. I'm thinking of chopping it all off into a shoulder length bob.

I had two big bottles of sweet almond mint and called and asked if I could swap them for two other scents. She said no, I can keep what I have but she'll send me 2 samples. I asked if I could also have a 3rd scent and she said yes. I thought it was going to be a small sample, but no those three bottles should last me until next year.
 
Im at the salon and my stylists says, its amazing how u stop using heat and your natural curl pattern flourished. All i could do is smile:-) thanks LHCF! I luv my hair now and it shows.
 
Funny how some things work out. I was looking for a new relaxer and had narrowed it down to like four brands, the one I really wanted to try(design essentials) was almost impossible to find. Lo and behold I go on Ensley's site and see that they've just started carrying this line. I am so excited to order, because for the most part I know the product will be very fresh. I just hope It works for me:ohwell:
 
Well I just discovered my hair is low porosity. So I'm guessing using ACV before putting on my conditioner is not the way to go lol.:ohwell: When I wash my hair next week I'm either going to try baking soda or not use anything as a pre-con. I love the cleansing effect of ACV so I'll use it as a post-con.
 
Another hair dream. This time, I had calf length hair and cut it off to like, an inch. Then I was going around showing how long my hair used to be and said that I BC'd. In the dream, I didn't have a problem with it. But as the dreamer, I was shocked, regretful and felt like it was going to take forever to grow back.

I blame this dream on that calf-length BC video. :nono: It was a nightmare, I tell ya! :cry:

**clicks my rubby red slippers** There's no place like home. There's no place like home.
 
Ever since that high pony thread I've been rocking the high pony with a little bit of track hair wrapped around it for fullness.

However, I always leave one trundle out in the back purposely to show that YES, I DO HAVE HAIR for those who can spot a phony pony LOL.

I can't keep my hands off that trundle though and I hope I don't pull it out from twisting it all day. :perplexed

It feels great when that trundle brushes against my back too and I can tell my hair has really grown because the spot is much lower than last summer.

Okay, I feel better now because people outside of LHCF will never understand me if shared this blurb with them. :grin:

Have a great day everyone!!
 
Nearly midnight and still waiting for my curl formers to dry. Would rather be bull whipped than sleep in them ever again!!! :p
 
My beloved Qhemet Biologics AOHC is not doing the job like it used to...what is up with that? I have clarified, but to no avail! I feel like most things are simply sitting on top of my hair. I may check my porosity before washing this evening. If so, then I will just do an ACV rinse, I guess.

I really want to blame this latest dryness on ORS Replenishing Conditioner. That stuff was the debil and I didn't leave my AO RM on long enough to REALLY penetrate.

Try Terressentials. When I find that my standbys aren't acting the same I know it is time for a mudwash.

I have packets and bottles of ors because my hair did not like it.
 
I went to Sephora.com to browse and I see that are selling Wen hair products now. I may finally try some Wen products now.
 
RT 1: Tomorrow will be banding take #2. Hair definitely likes being stretched but I can't dedicate an hour to tension blow-drying right now. I really only use the heat to stretch it, if I can do that without heat then great. TBH, banding take #1 wasn't given a fair shot, the sections were way too big. Hope it works this time.

RT 2: I want to try wet/damp bunning, my hair really likes being wet. I think I've been fighting my hair on this for a long time. Damp bunned today, hair felt nice. Think I'll try it this week and see how it works out.
