sorry so late. I'm pre pooing with coconut oil,cocnut milk, yogurt, mixed with Lustrasilk cholesterol dc cream. I havent' used shampoo but my scalp itches so bad so I found Jason's Tea Tree at the PX, no sls thank goodness. Possible deep moisturizing with the Caramel Treatment but need to stretch it with one of my cone conditioners. Trying to get rid of them.:perplexed Not feeling to good so doing an overnight dc.:nono:

Good products with good results. Congrats to you for a perfect 10. How do you like the split end mender? never heard of it till now.

Thanks, Patricia:drunk: I'm in love with the split end mender. You only need a little bit and it smooths the ends making them feel like butta. I apply the vaseline on top of it for heavy duty sealing before bunning. So far I've been retaining growth really well. When I take my hair down, I keep jumping because I'm not used to feeling my hair so heavy down my back LOL

So how do you like the bolded NW? I've been wanting to buy that but I don't know what it's like. Help a sister out honey.

Aggie, I feel like the Aphogee Keratin and Green Tea spray is a great leave-in. It makes my hair feel strong, melting into it, yet provides softness and combability (I don't think that's a word, but you know what I mean :lachen:). I think along with the 2-minute reconstructor, the spray is my favorite from the Aphogee line. I think you'll like it:yep: HTH

I'm sorry I'm late, I haven't been following this thread like I should, who makes the split end mender? I know Joico has one...:scratchch

ETA: I scrolled back and found that it is Joico!! Thank you :grin:
 
Just checking in ladies,

I deep conditioned over night with my Lanza co mix & 1 whole egg. My hair is definitely a 10. I am noticing that if I add an egg to any conditioner that I have at home it makes the conditioner a HG for me somehow(call it hair magic but I am loving it).

Yes, it's Joico, and I love it! I believe taz007 also uses it. Let us know how you like it if/when you get it:yep:
 
Checking in:

I've been co-washing nightly with Salon Care Honey Almond and Back to Basics Honey Hydrating. Twice a week I co-wash with MT for 5 mins and then follow up with SCHA and BTBHH, apply leave ins and seal. I'm pretty much wet bunning these days under my wig. That's it for me. My hair is still doing great. No breakage and very little shedding.
 
I have my last bit of henna that I added a big gob of Loreal Mega Moisture Conditioner to on my hair right now. I will be letting my stylist give me another trim tomorrow and can't wait to see what I'll look like. I'll follow up this henna treatment with some AO HSR mixed with a little honey and hot EVOO and will keep it in overnight, wash out in the morning and will be going to my stylist with a wig over shower cap on wet hair and all she has to do is give me a color rinse and trim and I'll be outta there.

My gray hairs are really resisting color now so we'll see what happens tomorrow. I think my henna might be a little old so I'll throw it out and buy some more. I don't think it's wise to buy the amount of henna I did the last time (5lbs):nono:. I didn't go through it fast enough obviously so next time I'll just buy a kilo at at time which is about 2.2lbs. That should be enough for about a year providing I'm henna'ing my hair at least once every 4-6 weeks:yep:.
 
deep conditioning now with my Lanza conditioner mix(healing strength, moisture, and ultimate treatment), power boosters in strength and moisture, and oils. I plan on deep conditioning overnight....will come back later with my rating.

ETA: I definitely reached a 10 with this mix. I have maybe one or two more applications and then I will be replacing it with something else.

I went back into my stash and found an almost full jar of Mizani H20 Treatment. I used it last night but it made my hair a little dry. Anybody else using this? If so, are you using a moisturizer with it?
 
I just posted this in the DDDC thread and thought I'd put it over here as well.

Okay ladies I had a major trim today - 4 whopping inches, YAY! I wanted it shorter but my stylist insisted that I leave enough hair on my head just in case I want to put it in a bun. I think she was right. I do have enough hair left to put it in a teeny weeny bun, lol:grin:.

I am back to shoulder length - here it is:

^^^^ Aggie: It Looks Very, Very, Nice and Very, Very, Strong. It looks Great. Uber Healthy. Looks Beautiful.:yep:

And You are Blessed to have a Good Stylist that is Looking Out for your Hair.

Wow IDareT'shair, thank you so much for the kind compliment. I really thank God for my stylist too. She was the one who encouraged me to texlax my hair :yep:. She said she's trying to get all of her fine haired customers to texlax their hair as well. She lit right up when I told her yes, I'd like my hair texlaxed. I really think she is a keeper.

Your hair looks very healthy aggie! I haven't cut my hair in a while but when I do I know some inches will be going too.
 
Hey you might remember when I used the redkin amino poo sallys knockoff. I didn't like it it left my hair stretchie. I decided to use it again cause I feel my hair is in better condition and I like to switch shampoo all the time cause of dandruff issues. Well I'm on the fence now. I can't say I'll keep it but I'm giving it half a chance. I can say it is very moisturizing and its been a while for me using any moisturizing shampoo. Ok I think its alright for me to use every now and then. but I'm just saying alright. Not a keeper yet. This is how my hair airdried. Kinda like it thats why I'm on the fence

Cowashed yesterday with Shescentit's Fortifying Masque. 1-2 more uses and I will probably not repurchase it. I was looking for a protein dc and it is not thick enough. What's interesting about it is it liquifies more when I add the ayurvedic powders to it. Everything else I add the powders to thickens up. Oh well. Less to order through the mail.
