Today there’s no crunch. I used a little of the Trepadora Bamboo glaze for my canopy.

my hair was still damp though before bed and for the life of me I don’t know where I put my blow dryer. I wanted to stretch it a little this morning . All in all I like it though.

I’m liking my new schedule of washing on Wednesdays. My hair has been turning out well and I can relax more on Saturday.

My next maintence trim should be in June, but I haven’t tried to make an appointment yet. I may push it to July. I really wish the curly specialist close to my house would start seeing clients again.

I haven't posted in here in a long time because I've been just sticking to my Miss Jessie's. Well I went out on a limb and tried the Doux! Tried the Mousse Def and it sucked!! Luckily, my inner product junkie was in full effect and I ended up with 3 of their stylers :laugh: . Today I cowashed with No More Suds, conditioned with Giovanni 50/50, and styled my hair with the Doux's Big Poppa. I'm in love with my results :love:!! This is definitely one of my best wash n'gos even if it only lasts for the day :lachen:. I'll come back and share how it holds up.

My wash and go with the doux sexy crazy curl and bee girl custard is still poppin. It should easily last me a week. I’m even shooting for 2 weeks since I’m so busy with my last week of school.

Ive started to get into refresher sprays and bought a few. So far they have been working in parts that get flat while I sleep. They are a game changer in how long my wash and goes last before I have to rewash!

The hair around my edges has flaked a little though. That usually makes me want to wash it out but I decided to use a little tinted edge control on the flakes and it camouflaged it beautifully! This will help to extend the wear of my wash and goes as well!

Just got in an 8. That hair went right out the door. Even though I was tempted. If I could get a good dry cast with 30 mins under the dryer I would chance it but nah. I need a solid hour and I will not be up at 9 sitting until 10.

I had a nice dinner with my gf and her daughter with my little one but I sure wish I could have left earlier and did my hair lol

Your hair reminds me of my aunts. She relaxed for years and then finally let it go. I asked her what she did. She said she shampooed and conditioned and put Vaseline in it :shocked: I had nothing to say because it was working for her and it was simple :lol:

But she has that dark color and serious curl definition you have going on there.

I finally did a curly set. I tried to make it fast but I'm not sure I achieved that goal :lol:

I shampooed once and conditioned. I added water to the conditioner and tried to smooth my hair before getting started.
I put my hair into 4 sections. Hosed down each section and added a little over 1 pump of UFD to each section.
Then I went back and added a dime size amount of Trepadora PS.
Then I went back and added a dime size amount of Trepadora BG.

The PS calmed my curls a bit and then I used the BG to give me more hold. I didn't add any more water after the UFD.

I tried to wait a bit before styling but I needed to get to work. I shook to form my curls. I realized I shook too hard because I could see the frizz in my bang. So I added more BG and then just shook lightly.

After about 20 minutes, I used the blow dryer to get it fairly dry so I could run out. I read somewhere that if the humidity is high the hair needs to be dry before going out into it to help the hair stay protected. Going to see if that works for me.

I know many don't like crunch but I prefer to have my hair crunchy because it means my hair will last. As soon as the crunch is gone it also means that my curls will be going right behind it :sad:

On my sides and my bangs, I need to remember to add UFD, then add water and then add more UFD.

I will take a picture in the morning before I head out.

Dime sizes though?! lol Is that enough? I'm so heavy handed with my stylers. I wonder if I could get away with less but then again those Trepadora products must be super concentrated.

Your hair looks cute too!

Thank You.

Yes, a dime size is enough. I actually probably used too much product. You can see from the picture how short my hair looks. When I overuse I my curls are more compact/helmet head and less separation of curls, so my hair doesn't move and I don't have any elongation.

If I'm heavy handed I have to wash my hair by day 3 because my hair is just plastered to my head :lol:

The Trepadora Bamboo Glaze is a keeper. Today it was 95 here and we visited some construction sites and it was so hot. As I walked to the car I could see my hair in the window and I was so glad to see my hair was still curly and not a fro. I was in and out of the heat from 10 am until 4 and my hair withstood the heat :yay: I wasn't able to get that from ICH or JelloShot. Both of those cause my hair to suck in too much water.

I will test it again on a high humidity day and see how that works. I think the humidy today was 40%

I'm going to try the combo of UFD + ICV + BG . Looks like a calculus problem :lol:

Yeah I'm impressed with this Curl Custard. I even went into a heavy mist and my curls were WET and my hair stilll held up.

This is what it looks like before it dried. Definitely don't use too much bc I still got some flakes when I had to manipulate during the week but it was well worth it.

Your hair looks lovely. Is that The Doux Bee Girl Custard? Ever since the review from @Napp, I've been interested.
