I finally perfected my straightening process. I have been on a quest to get non-reverting, bouncy, light, silky smooth hair and I have finally did it. :yay:

I had to eliminate some products and add a couple, but it all worked out for the best.
 
Does anyone remember this conditioner?



I used to looooove it, so much moisture and slip. Why do they always discontinue the good stuff?

I havent been up here in so long I forgot to mention, I saw pantene now has a cleansing conditioner. I wanted to get it but I was shopping for a dc and I only had $7. It was $5 and the dc was $5. I made a hard choice but it was the right one.

Eta: its part of pantene's new collection. I might make that my new staple if the cleansing conditioner works cause the dc is AMAZING!!!

Etaa: sorry if somene already posted about this line I didnt see it in the search

Swype thinks weird and wierd are both correct

Pantene's Cowash works very well for me! I love it!
 
Its bad to look at your HHJ progress from the last year from TWA (1/2 to 1 inch around) - almost grazing SL. Feels like an eternity. I grew 5-6 inches in one year but I dont know how much of that I retained as my hair is about 5- 5 1/2 inches long (at the longest I think).

Thanking God for making the folks who make Joico Moisture Recovery. Since I will start wearing a bun instead of my wigs for religious purposes I had to get my hair to lay down. Pooed with Aprogee Deep Moisture poo and conditioned with Joico. So much slip it's just fab. Hair is laying flat without alot of product. So happy.
 
My DH surprised the mess out of me this weekend by asking me to wear a more "kinky" style. I wear my hair in a twist out and it's beautiful, but I was scared to do that after blow drying and flat ironing for years (and I mean YEARS). Now my hair is hovering around BSL and hanging toward MBL. It shrinks to above shoulder length with the twist out.

I really need to perfect untwisting gently so that I don't damage my ends. I had a few broken hairs today and that is scary (because it adds up over time). I just trimmed my ends, so I know it's just that my ends are texlaxed and my length is almost natural or half and half.

I am going to search online to figure out how to wear a kinky afro type of style with all of this hair. I'm not sure that it can be done with texlaxed ends. But it would be fun to try.

I miss seeing my hair hang long and the looks of surprise on people's faces when they see how long and thick that it is. But I love the chic twist out and the way that it makes me feel to wear my hair the way it grows out of my scalp. My only fear is that as I go natural...it'll just keep getting bigger, but so far it still "hangs" even when twisted out.

I did my first twist out on dry hair (after washing, conditioning and twisting wet, the next day I just twisted dry) and took that down with oil and it was the best twist out yet. Last night I twisted with conditioner only and I feel like I have a conditioning session going on until my next wash. I'm starting to wonder if I even NEED gel of any kind to get this look.

I will say that last year I was in the rest room and a natural curly head complimented ME on my flat ironed hair...she thought I was natural and I was flattered (texlaxed). Now I'm almost natural and when I asked her what she does to her hair she said, "I put conditioner on it and brush it until the curls pop, that's it!"

Her hair was gorgeous! At the time I said, "Man I wish I could do that!"

And now, I almost have. :)
 
I got my feeling hurt over the weekend. I proud myself of taking such good care of my hair. Well, my niece who is in cosmotology school, offered to do a silk press on my hair with the H2Pro I purchased at the hairshow that day. While she was doing my hair, she said my hair is in good condition but my roots are a little bittle. This is from flat ironing my roots after a rollerset. She said my hair is starting to dry out a little bit.

I knew she was right because I haven't deep conditioned in two week but I have flat iron my roots every week.
 
Nix08 I think I do... I drink 16 onces of warm water with ACV and a fresh lemon, a cup of green tea and a bottle of water during the day while at work. At night and weekends it is a bit of a struggle to drink water but I will definitely work on upping my intake.
 
I'm hair challenged. I couldn't do my relaxed hair and I can't do my natural hair. Gotta pay to get DD hair done. Why grow my hair if I'm going to be in a PS 99% of the time :(.
 
Lissa0821 I actually also started using coconut milk in my hair...that may be something you want to try. All I know is that I'm at 9 weeks post and never has my ng been as it is lately and drinking water and using coconut milk are the only real differences. How do you wear your hair that requires you to flat iron the roots?
 
Nix08 I will give it a cocnut milk a try. I rollerset weekly and just flat iron my roots on Thursdays and wear my hair down for the weekend. It is in a ponytail or bun Monday until I wash again. I am extremely tenderhead so I have to do something to flatten out my roots once my new growth comes in. Just rolling my hair upward is not enough for me.
 
I'm going to work tomorrow in a freshly washed - no product - relaxed hair - afro!!! I shouldn't have to throw on a wig to tame my hair if I don't want too! I'm gonna let it run freeeee! My hair is screaming "GIVE US FREE!!!!"
 
I straightened my hair for the first time in 6 months. Its long lol! And dry. I need to get a trim but my supercuts stylist is on vacation until monday. I hope i can wait until then.
 
Love, love, love the demi-permanent Zotos AGE Beautiful anti-aging clear "hair color" I used last week. My hair is soft and easy to manage and detangle. My curls are also more defined. Definitely going back to Sally's for more
 
I broke down and purchased the Splitender. I can see that my hair is splitting half way up the shaft and I refuse, REFUSE I tell ya, to big chop one more time ...

...unless I really have to (please make it no be true). :sad:

Is anybody else loving Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Moisture Lock (that's a mouthful lol) condish and shampoo?? I noticed it in Target about 2 weeks ago and decided to try it. AMAZING. I'm going to keep using it before I give my final verdict, but I think this might replace my Infusium 23 and Aussie 3min. It's that nice. I can detangle easily with the condish and the shampoo rinses out so soft. And it smells great :3 maybe I'll do a full product review in a few weeks. I already purchased another bottle of the condish to keep in my stash :look: I like to stock up lol

I saw this line in RiteAid, the ingredients look a lot better than your run-of-the-mill drugstore hair product. They were mostly out, the clerk said the products sell really fast.

Whoever gave me the idea to go productless today should play in traffic. I look a hot mess at work today!! YIKES!!
 
Breakage is going down a lot ...not sure if its from co-washing or the tea mixture I have been using for the past two weeks is working. Less breakage...still shedding but it makes me feel a bit better cause its longer strands and not little 1/4 inch broken off pieces anymore :D
