That's a cool cap! What type of heating mechanism does it have?

Yes, my hair gets toasty even with the layers. When I first got it, I used to only use a plastic cap. But the heat would burn my ears so I figured it probably was doing to same to my hair. It was even hot on the lowest setting. So now with all of the layers, I turn it up to the highest setting for 20 mins and then turn it down if I keep it on longer than that. My hair benefits from conditioning with the warming effect of the indirect heat.

Crazy that I didn't realize before this HHJ how much I used my heated styling appliances on way too high settings. Blow drying, curlers, flat iron and hard/bonnet hair dryers were always set on the highest setting. SMH.

Right?? Before my HHJ I would turn my flat iron up to the highest setting 410-450 trying to get a silk press with bad technique smh. This is a Hot Head Deep Conditioning Cap. The pros is that it’s really easy to use and it does actually warm up pretty evenly but the cons is that you can’t get exact temperatures because you to microwave it.

You have me running out to go buy a new shower cap now! :)

If I can't get a color appointment with my stylist I'm going back to black myself. I have a trim appointment with her Saturday. Hopefully they have open appointments behind the scenes cause waiting six months plus for some color ain't happening.

I guess I can have the guy who has done my color touch up do it. Hmmm.

I think after I take these braids out i'll switch to either a u part wig or a sew in to give my hair a break. Either way i'm leaving these braids in for the rest of the month and then prepping my hair for the holidays.

Where? Did you lose it in the house? Hopefully you find it soon?

I might’ve left it at my moms house. I bought it during the weekend, but also spent the weekend at my moms house for mommy-daughter weekend. So it’s either at her house, in my car somewhere, or I put it down somewhere in my own apartment.

But I haven’t seen it yet. It was cute for 3$ lol

I'm starting to wonder if I could use a brush for both detangling & defining curls, with certain products. The more lightweight a product is, the more frizz and less definition.

I just washed my hair and I’m deep conditioning with Keracare Humecto. I’ll straighten it tonight and it might last. We are having a cold front in Houston

USPS , riddle me this?

Why would you attempt to put something in the mailbox receptacle instead of ringing my doorbell, where there are people, in the house, all day...waiting for mail? you know? Like normal people.

11:27 am and you say notice left because you had an oversize package? Umm, why didn't the mail person ring the door at my HOUSE???

Now, I have to figure out a day to get to the post office to pick up my package. Straight aggravated! :rolleyes:

I have to stop watching all these beauty bandwagon videos on Youtube. It makes me want to try and buy a lot of garbage I don't need and won't stick to. I'm sticking to Indigenous Strandz, Efficiently Natural, FusionofCultures, and GreenBeauty. Ladies who have simple routines that have proven to work.

I can't live without cones in my regimen. They help with detangling and smoothing my poros hair from humidity. I never fell for the whole CG thing since it never worked for me.

I'm starting to think that the CG method doesn't really work for my hair. This past wash day I used a conditioner that has cones in it and detangling was a breeze! I also noticed my hair held onto moisture better. Honestly, cones weren't a problem for my hair when I was relaxed. Idk why I thought that I needed to take them out.
