@Brittster Rusk smoother works great for me when sealed with an oil/pomade or serum...braidouts and twistouts come out silky That combo is also great for blow drying. I know what you mean about drugstore products tho.

Thanks! I didn't think to blow dry with it. I could see how it would turn out well for that. I'll try it with a braid out and twist out also. Thank you b/c I was just thinking of yet another product to give away :nono:
 
I really have to stop trying everything that pops up and appears to be amazing. What I'm doing is working so there's no need to keep trying all these daggone concoctions! I am not a good mixtress so I don't know why I keep trying to mix!
 
Got another internship this summer :grin: So I need to find a couple really nice looking wigs. There's no way I'm going to try to fuss with my hair every day. If it was just a regular job I wouldn't care but I really want this experience to go well and I can't be worried about how my hair looks.

Brittster I agree about drugstore products! I don't think I can go back after being spoiled with better quality products. Im not too sold on the all natural stuff though but I really love using salon quality products. I plan on trying some higher end natural stuff once i get rid of my relaxed ends.

my hair seems to be doing better with drugstore products and cones than the high end stuff professional stuff.
 
My hair has grown so much in the past year that it blows my mind that it stayed the same length for almost 5 years. It makes me wonder what on earth I was doing before???
 
I think i have to start seeing not doing anything to my hair as just as beneficial as a treatment. Its going to be hard to change my thought process.
My internal thought process goes something like this
Its in a protective style, its clean and conditioned, trimmed and moisturised. llan... there is nothing you can do now accept allow it to grow.

take it out of the bun...what about some coconut oil on the ends or something

nope... doesn't need it. the ends are tucked away and you heavy sealed it. go to bed, take a multivitamin or something but just keep your hands out of your hair.

Arian what happened? On Thursday, I filed a claim with PayPal, because I never received the product from the member I purchased from on the Exchange Board. I don't have $ to give away.

Sent from my Speak & Spell using LHCF
 
I tried Nettle tea for the first time today and boy is it some good stuff! My hair felt so soft. I will be using it regularly.
 
I had another natural ask ME for hair advice. I've only been natural for about a month, lol. Anyway, she wanted to know how I did my twist out. I explained the process and told her to be sure to moisturize before twisting each twist. That's what I do, anyway. She said she couldn't get a defined twist out. I asked what she moisturizes with. She said blue magic! :dead: So I explained why not to use blue magic and gave a few other tips. I know this is silly but I've struggled with my hair in the past. I'm really comfortable with it now and I was shocked that now instead of me constantly asking for advice someone asked me. Kinda made me feel like I've made it to the big time, lol. Silly, I know, lol. But still!
 
oooh wee, I love love love Silk Dreams Hair Products... Almost to the point of obsession.

This is what I have in my stash:

Whip My Hair
Go Moist
Avocado Pudding
Shea What
Vanilla Silk Cream
Wheat Germ Butter
Aaliyah's Hair Blessing
Almond Buttercream
Destination Hydration Conditioner
Nourish Oil - Dreamy Decadence
PRE
End-Tegrity Serum
Mocha Silk Infusion

Love love love these products and many more! But I'm going to switch it up tomorrow to try to not be so obsessed lol (plus I need to get rid of the following free products):

-Wash with VO5 Clarifying Shampoo
-Condition with Clean Nourishing Conditioner
-Set with Motions Foaming Wrap Lotion and sit under hooded dryer
-Apply Aveda Smooth Infusion to new growth (4 months post-relaxer) and then flat iron new growth with FHI HEAT Pink Flat Iron
 
I see you lurking momma. Gon' head and try a twistout... I know you want to. Don't think I didn't notice you deep conditioning with my yogurt or playing around with that WnG when you were supposed to be washing your hair. I won't tease you for being curious about going natural after giving me grief, not at all. In fact, I'm really proud of you. So go ahead and experiment on the low... I see you. Lol
 
I'm assuming SSI is getting ready for a sale since they have been closed all week. Hope so cause I have the itch to buy something
 
Itching, Itching, ITCHING to do a length check. I feel like I'm doing some serious retaining nowadays.

Still... I need to wait until my next relaxer day to do a length check
 
I can't believe I spent so long worrying about the amount of shedding I got per day, when the solution was a simple tea rinse :nono:
 
i played in my hair all wknd, after one year of being natural my hair has thrived so much, Im excited to see what it looks like next year :)
 
I started working out today, so I'll be running/walking 3 miles everyday after work. We have a gym in the building, so I have no excuses. Hopefully this will help my hair grow faster too.
 
A lady said to me in passing that I had beautiful hair and I complained aw it's too much work and then it dawned on me I could be bald headed for other reasons so I must begin to be appreciative for what I have. Note to self.
 
There's this little girl that i tutor in maths. Our mums are friends. Her hair is gaawwwjus. Now i know her mum didn't bring her here for me to staring up in her headpiece, but her hair is lush. her plaits and twists are the same thickness from root to tip!
 
I have hair anorexia. I'm now at MBL (not full) and only ~2" away from waist length, but I still feel like I'm at APL. I can't wait to finish this transition and for my natural hair to reach SL/APL unstretched. I'll finally be able to do wash and go's (hopefully) and my hair is going to be so much thicker than my thin relaxed ends. Meanwhile I should probably look into some BKT alternatives again to minimizes the amount of straightening and detangling I'll have to do.
