Better Late Than Ugly
I just found a second huge bottle of neem oil. What the heck was I thinking? I will have to find one of these bottles a good home.

I've been wearing weaves and wigs exclusively for almost a year now. Gonna try to go the whole summer being natural. It's hard when you're a hair-lazy person like I am though. I know I'll probably cave and get braids at some point, lol.
It is a quart bottle. Send me a PM.

If hurricane Irma thinks she will stop my hair from being great, she's telling a lie because instead of waiting for her to arrive later today and cause the water company to shut off the water and the electrical company to shut down our power, I am DCing my hair right now
My DIY kinky clip-ins turned out so well. I cannot tell where they start and MY hair begins! I'm super impressed. The snap clips hurt while trying to place them in my head though. Overall I really like them.
I can't wait to test drive them in public when I go food shopping tomorrow. If I walked in a room full of LHCF'ers none of you could get a successful weave check on me that's how well this hair blends.
Now I know why my hair felt weird - humidity drop! I took off my silk bonnet this morn, back to normal.My hair feels weird... Not bad, just less product-y, I guess? Not as soft because I can feel my ends lightly pricking the back of my hand. The ends moves when I shake my head hard, I assume from length?
Am I the only supercoily wearing loose hair?
Special unicorn over here breaking everybody's rules. People get fixated on what works for them, so they believe it should work for anyone. Dealing with this life, there is always more than one way to handle an issue. Unfortunately, it is easier to go with extremes than to either find a balance or jump out the box and be creative. The latter two take work to do and maintain.Moisturising
Some people say that you should get enough moisture from your DC and you shouldn't have to moisturise until your next wash. I can get away with this sometimes but most of the time I moisturise my hair in between washes.
Other people say you should moisturise and seal daily/twice daily.
It's a polarising view that I find quite interesting.
But like everything, different strokes for different folks.

I will try!! It's pretty much like Marley hair on clips, I like them so much. It's nothing fancy and I like that about it. Very realistic. I will try to do a selfy when I'm out food shopping. Don't hold me to that though lol.
Please share pics, ma'am, if you don't mind!
I'm so excited for you. I don't even know HOW MANY months I've been stalled out on my DIY coily clip-ins project. I really need to get it done! I'm finding wigs itchy, but it's great to leave the hair twisted after all that work on wash day and just slap some hair on top until the next day for styling. I think the clip-ins will look so much better than my wig(s), but I just won't finish them!!! Argh.
The weather is changing.Could my porosity be changing? I needed heat for my moisturizing mix to soften my hair today

Ive heard that so many times.
I'm not saying I don't believe it, however, not every conditioner is moisturizing, water evaporates (even with sealers) and styling also matters. Another common thing I saw with people who did follow this was breakage and/or using heat tools that eventually caused drying of the hair.
I think M&S twice daily is excessive. Every three days is fine. Once a week of fine too. Not only do you have to find what works for but, but you also need to look at the head of hair saying it. There is also the constant reminding of porosity that heavily determines your moisturizing factors that continues to fall on deaf ears.
I also agree with @Sharpened and extremes. You cannot always go with the outliers.
Where are you located @shortdub78 ?The weather is changing.

Likewise. Even before I was a member, I used to follow a lot of the threads from the "old" days. Back in 2008-09 I enjoyed learning.
