Took my hair down from a quick ps and I'm just now realizing my hair is long enough to bun (while stretched). Yay, finally!

Confession: Now that I've gone back to Humecto, it doesn't seem as great as it was at the beginning of my hhj. But this 5lb tub won't use itself
Update: It was a false alarm
I had moisture overload. Did Aphogee two step, I'm good now. My first hair lesson of my hj, protein and moisture really do compliment each other.

Now I realize what they mean when they say moisturizing with just water will not do...
Tonight, on a whim, I bought some Aussie Hair Insurance leave in...I was skeptical because most spritzes I try just don't work for me. I was also skeptical because the second ingredient was aloe vera juice.
But man...that stuff sealed with Qhemet AOHC is pretty good. It has a cone though...ick!
Gotta stick with what works and since I'm not no poo...cones are ok with me! It is also water-soluble.
Amodimethicone + trideceth-12 is water soluble, right?
ETA: Hmmm, I have the old formula.... better go buy all of the old ones off the shelf in Walmart

Arian i think amodimethicone is not completely waer soluble but also doesnt build up easily.
i use a leave in with amodimethicone. i cowash a few times a week and sulfate free shampoo once a week.

I've cut all the damage out my hair which came from pulling my hair unto a puff when damp and from henna. I want to dye my hair black but don't think it will take because there is still henna on my hair. I might try in October.

Stopped at Target to pick up a 2 fl oz sample of Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Soap. I chose lavendar over peppermint because the minty smell of peppermint gave me headache. Plus, I plan to test this is my hair and I'm not too cool with the idea of my scalp tingling from peppermint. I've read & watched some positive reviews about castile soap being alkaline and therefore closing the cuticles of your hair shaft...hopefully this can improve the look & feel of my hair after a wash Might buy the big bottle for my hair & body if I like it and use it all up...but then what will I do with my bottle of HE HH Shampoo?
Also bought 100% pure jojoba oil from Trader Joes for my face & body, but I'll probably try it on my ends too. Want to buy sunflower oil but I already have 4 oz of safflower oil to use up, plus my mix of JBCO & coconut oil...gah, how did I accumulate so much?

I hennaed last night and put my hair in 2 braids with a center part showing my orange scalp! I felt really self conscious about it but I went to the park today and saw an older indian woman with the same orange scalp. I wish she could have seen mine but she was real short haha

My hair is growing nicely, but I'm NOT gonna do a length check till Novemer, which is pure torture!! It's gonna be fun to see where I get to by years end. My new detangling brush better work, or I'm gonna be Hot!

I believe I read somewhere it raises the cuticles and you need something acidic or base (conditioner/ACV/Aloe juice) to close them after using castille soap. Kimmaytube has a video where she shows it has a pH of 10, if I remember correctly, and mixing a teaspoon with a 0.5 cup of water drops it to a pH of 9.5. I am planning on using it for everything at some point so I was researching diluting a teaspoon in 1-1.5 cups of water before using it on my hair.
There is also some debate on whether anything between a pH of 4-9 causes any movement of the cuticles at all.

Planning to increase my DC'ing to twice a week. I want to see if that will result in better and thicker growth for my hair.
Also started using Mega-tek again. Bought viviscal. Maxi Hair seemed to help me, but the neon yellow urine starting freaking me out. If viviscal doesn't work after a month, I'll go back to Maxi hair.
Planning to stretch for min 16 weeks, with a goal of 20 weeks.
